초록

본 논문에서는 반 깜박임 선택 기법을 이용한 응시 상호작용(Gaze interaction) 방법과 이를 이용한 착용형 증강현실 시스템(Wearable Augmented Reality system)이 제안 된다. 응시 상호작용은 가장 쉽고 자연스러우며 빠른 방법이며, 광투과 HMD 기반의 착용형 AR 시스템에 매우 적합한 기법이다. 이 시스템은 사용자의 응시 좌표와 반 깜박임(Half blink)을 이식하여 사용자가 바라보고 있는 객체의 정보를 HMD에 출력한다. 이를 통해 마이더스 터치 문제(Midas touch problem)를 해결하여 사용자의 의도를 정확히 전달할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 상호작용법을 AR 주석(Annotation) 시스템에 적용, 구현하여 사용성을 평가하였고, 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 기법의 유용성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a wearable augmented reality system using gaze interaction. Gaze interaction has been considered to be the potential of easy, natural and fast way of interaction and becomes a suitable way in optical see-through HMD based wearable AR. Our system recognizes user's gaze point, half blink motion and displays the information of object seen by user to HMD. Half blink selection technique avoids the Midas touch problem and represents user's intention correctly. We've developed a AR annotation system and estimated the usability of gaze interaction. The accuracy and robustness of our technique is verified on the experimental results.
