Storytelling which is part of human nature, has changed over millions of years. The development of technology and media has shaped Storytelling into various forms and shapes, and due to the recent spread of smart devices, the influence of interactive storytelling has grown significantly. The technology which allows diverse and natural input of users, have transformed the listener to user and has allowed the user to 'experience' the story rather than 'hear' it. In line with the trend in the development of these technologies, this study seeks to design and implement an interactive tale for children on an ipad platform. Focusing on the interaction aspect, this story is designed mainly for 3-7 years olds, which contains various multimedia elements and interaction elements that use built in technology such as multi-touch technology and microphone technology to allow user input that aline with the context of story. Focusing on children's experience and empathy with the characters of the story, 'Three Little Pigs and the Wolf' contains 22 steps and was published in the itunes Store.

As display devices evolve, computer-based work environments are also becoming better suited to actual application tasks. This paper discusses the development of an architectural design system using the virtual table, which is a table-type projection system. It consists of the interactive VR modeler, the hybrid tracker and the architectural interpreter. The interactive VR modeler offers visual and tactile guide such as grid interaction, a tangible transparent prop and reference objects, so that a user can design architectural 3D models more easily and intuitively on the virtual table. The hybrid tracker includes two types of tracking methods for viewpoint according to the user's view and hand interaction: namely, vision-based tracking and magnetic tracking. The architectural interpreter automatically transforms simple 3D masses into a basic construction form that has architectural knowledge. The proposed system has advantage in the sense that it is suitable for collaboration among several users, allowing them to view graphical objects in stereoscopic view with direct 3D manipulation. Thus, it can be effectively used for architectural simulation and user-participated design.

Children will present phobic psychology in the special environment in hospital. Therefore, children's psychological emotions should be taken into account in the construction of the hospital environment. After that, the three stages and seven emotional factors which stimulate children's emotions will be summarized and applied to the graphic performance in children's hospitals, so as to alleviate children's fear. Plus, through the analysis of domestic and foreign cases, the graphic representation types of children's hospitals are divided into modern design, illustration design, three-dimensional design, interactive design, and these emotional factors are integrated into the graphic representation for evaluation. Here comes the evaluation results: there are little or no emotional factors in modern design; there are less emotional factors in illustration design and three-dimensional design due to less feelings and experiences. However, the results show that children feel much better from all aspects because there are more emotional factors with the help of interactive design. Based on the above evaluation results, here comes the graphic design guidelines for children's hospital waiting room.

With subdivision of customers and markets, today, domains to design are expanding. When design merges with other spheres of design, it is important to convey a consistent message to customers. For delivering a message consistently and clearly, there is a need to reconcile different views in design processes. In this study, each design process was analyzed and the sequence was adjusted using the DSM methodology for understanding mutual dependent relations. For this, process activity elements were extracted with experts and a survey on related elements was conducted. Then the survey findings were divided for working out the sequence and based on the views regarding the sequence, a total design process was created.. As a result, the processes were combined into one sequence and there was a collaboration at the 10th stage. Also, a methodology used in collaboration and significant elements were analyzed. In conclusion, it is anticipated that this total design process would provide a more objective and scientific approach in collaboration among various spheres of design and help in reducing lead time.

Currently, usability tests for web sites with representative users are conducted in laboratory environment that disturbs subjects' natural behavior. These test methods are inefficient for tests that require large number of subjects, because experimenters and subjects should be located in the same place at the same time during the test. In this study, a remote usability test tool, called 'RIO' has been developed to cope with these laboratory-based experiment problems - the 'synchronism' and the 'unnatural environment'. The tool is separated into three parts: 'Project Manager', 'Remote Interaction Observer', and 'Interaction Analyzer'. 'Project Manager' sets up overall experimental parameters and actual tasks to be peformed by subjects. 'Remote Interaction Observer', endued with Microsoft Internet Explorer Control, is a modified Web Browser which records user interactions, screen images and elaborate browser events while subject performs given tasks. This module is distributed to subjects as an installable software package. When they finish all the tasks, the captured interaction data is compressed and sent to 'Interaction Data Server' automatically. 'Interaction Analyzer' visualizes interaction data from the 'Interaction Data Server'. It also generates project-scope statistics which facilitate discovering peculiar cases among interaction submissions.

The purpose of this study is to study the interaction structure of a smart farm for controlled environment horticulture. As a research method, interaction factors were analyzed by defining the growth stages of humans, plants, and plants, which are the subjects of interaction during the production, distribution, sales and consumption stages of smart farms. Additionally, on-site survey was used to differentiate between one-time, short-term, and long-term, depending on the behavior and operation of the interacting entity and time. As a result, the research came up to a finding that 1) Human and Plant are based on interactions of 'one-time, short-term' 2) Plant and Smart Farm as 'short-term' 3) Smart Farm and Human as 'short-term and long-term'. For this reason, this study is meaningful in deriving the relationship between the subjects and the interaction elements in the production stage of the smart farm and presenting a new interaction structure model by structuring them.

This study examines whether the reinforcement theory could be effectively applied to teaching assistant robots between a robot and a student in the same way as it is applied to teaching methods between a teacher and a student. Participants interacted with a teaching assistant robot in a 3 (types of robots: positive reinforcement vs. negative reinforcement vs. both reinforcements) by 2 (types of participants: honor students vs. backward students), within-subject experiment. Three different types of robots, such as 'Ching-chan-ee' which gives 'positive reinforcement', 'Um-bul-ee' which gives 'negative reinforcement', and 'Sang-bul-ee' which gives both 'positive and negative reinforcement' were designed based on the reinforcement theory and the token reinforcement system. Subjective impressions and preferences were measured according to the types of robots and the types of participants. Participants preferred the positive reinforcement robot most, and the negative reinforcement robot least. Regarding the number of stimulus, in case of the negative reinforcement robot for honor students, the less the stimulus is, the more positive the impressions toward the robot are. The findings demonstrate that the reinforcement interaction is important and effective factor which determines children's preferences and impressions for teaching assistant robots. The results of this study can be implicated as an effective guideline to interaction design of teaching assistant robots.
