The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contents of Korean-learning applications by comparing two teaching methods(Phonics Instruction/Whole Language Approach). For this purpose, a total of 51 Korean-learning applications were analysed. The instruments used in this study were developed based on Applications for preschoolers Evaluation Criteria and Vocabulary Game Applications for preschoolers Evaluation Criteria. The collected data were analyzed by using a t-test. The main results are as follows. First, 'Developmental appropriateness' had the highest scores whereas 'Amusement' had the lowest scores in general. Second, there was a significant difference in 'Interaction' by teaching method. Implications for the development of more systematic Korean-learning applications for preschoolers are discussed.

시선추적 인터페이스는 다른 감각기관에 비해 빠른 반응속도를 보이므로 효과적인 인터랙션 수단으로 활용가능하며, 이를 통해 사용자 경험을 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서 시선추적 기술은 장애인 안구마우스, 운전자 시선정보 분석, 광고 효과 모니터링, 차세대 게임 등 다양한 분야에 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시선추적 인터페이스의 정확도를 향상시키기 위한 기술을 소개한다. 실제 사용자를 대상으로 시선추적을 수행할 때 눈꺼풀로 인한 동공 가림 현상이 자주 발생하며, 각막반사광으로 인한 동공 경계 왜곡 현상이 발생하기도 한다. 이로 인해 동공 중심이 왜곡되어 시선위치에 오류가 발생한다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위해 눈꺼풀 및 각막반사광으로 인한 왜곡 현상을 보정하여 동공 중심을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다.

탈 장르화와 영상의 다양화로 예술에서의 표현의 한계는 극대화 되고 있으며, 디지털 매체를 통한 인터랙션 역시 디지털 아트에서의 보편적인 표현 방법으로 전환 되었다. 예술에서의 상호작용은 보여주는 것에서 참여하는 것으로의 전환을 꿰 하고 있고, 디지털을 기반으로 한 다매체, 다중화가 이를 뒷받침 한다. 상호작용을 위한 디지털 아트 작품을 위해서는 센서를 이용한 표현방법들이 있으나, 기타의 센서도구를 사용치 않고, 단지 카메라로부터 입력된 신호만을 기반으로 영상과 관객의 상호작용을 끌어 낼 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 모션트레킹을 위한 알고리즘을 응용함으로써 사물의 밝기 값에 충족한 데이터를 만들어 낼 수 있고 그에 해당하는 밝기의 변환 값을 이용해 미세한 사물의 변화를 감지 할 수 있는 것이다. 이런 일련의 영상작업을 위해서는 사물의 움직임과 반복성을 얼마만큼 인지하고 감지 해내느냐고 관건인데, 다시 말해 한번 측정한 움직임이 있는 사물의 데이터도 프로그램상에서 계속하여 인지가 되어야 하고, 그 데이터 값을 영상으로 반환하여야 하는데, 이는 영상의 지속적인 변화를 가져 올 수 있다는 걸 의미한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 모션 트래킹의 기본 알고리즘을 제시하고 영상작품과 인턱래션작품의 변환를 위해 사용된, 센서 대체도구인 웹 캠의 데이터 즉, 색상 값과 밝기 값을 적절하게 활용함으로써 표현의 다양성을 이끌어 내고 디지털 인터랙티브 작품으로써의 제작을 꾀하고자 한다.

The methods of presenting information are more variable with advanced computer media technology. However, when we visualize information of database, it is more difficult to understand data meaning by complex date, which is not required by user. To compose new information, user needs to combine own his memory and new information presenting result. To be quickly explored new information and be exactly understood relationship of data structure, the data presenting of visualized information is more structured and presented with meaning form. It is possible to make information visualization system, which users can explore database by oneself, with supporting interaction to be able to control and combine relationship of three-dimensional scene graphic structure, presenting factors of animation and data structure of database. There are several diagrams, such as VR diagram, Form structure diagram and simulated diagram as the case study.

The popularization of VR content is slow. It's because they have not created a new visual experience, that is, 'utility' beyond 'interest'. The utility of VR content starts from functional reality. And to enhanced it, realistic interaction is required. Specifically, this study presents three methods of network play, character artificial intelligence, and Haptic implementation. In order to confirm the hypothesis, we conducted all phases of VR content production from baseball to contents production, play test, and technical verification. Through the test of the user and the evaluation institution about the final product, it was evaluated that it contributed to the realization of the content realism through the realistic visual effect, the play presentation, and the impact evaluation by the vibration.

This study attempted to explore and examine a new user experience (UX) research method for IoT products which are becoming widely used but lack practical user research. While user experience research has been traditionally opted for survey or observation methods, this paper utilized big data analysis method for user online reviews on an intelligent agent IoT product, Amazon's Echo. The results of topic modelling analysis extracted user experience elements such as features, conversational interaction, and updates. In addition, regression analysis showed that the topic of updates was the most influential determinant of user satisfaction. The main implication of this study is the new introduction of big data analysis method into the user experience research for the intelligent agent IoT products.

In the "digitalized" world of new media, visual designer are increasingly enlarging their roles in desighing interaction products. However, the concepts and their methods of the interaction design have not been well established in the design community yet. The reason is attributed to the fact that designing interaction products requires two way communication between the products and final users. whereas traditional graphic design counts only on one way communication. This study emphasizes GUI design should aim at improving the usability of products which helps users quickly learn about the products and easily use them. The usability of GUI design significantly improved by securing logical rationality helps designers communicate and collaborate with program engineers and other product developers. To explain how designers can effectively communicate with program engineers and other product participants in the design process, a model of design collaboration is provided in this study. Based on the model, the study deals with the principles and methods of visual interaction, the formulation of specification system, testing design usability, and design evaluation. The study concludes that GUI designers must ensure logical rationality and the cognitive approach of visual language. Because it improves the usability of products. It also becomes an objective tool for communicating and collaborationg with engineers and the other participants in the design process.

In this paper, we proposed the skin color based hand and finger detection technology for the gesture recognition in CCTV surveillance. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology for hand detection and propose the finger detection method. The detected hand and finger can be used to implement the non-contact mouse. This technology can be used to control the home devices such as home-theater and television. Skin color is used to segment the hand region from background and contour is extracted from the segmented hand. Analysis of contour gives us the location of finger tip in the hand. After detecting the location of the fingertip, this system tracks the fingertip by using only R channel alone, and in recognition of hand motions to apply differential image, such as the removal of useless image shows a robust side. We explain about experiment which relates in fingertip tracking and finger gestures recognition, and experiment result shows the accuracy above 96%.

Recently, 3D technology based on depth image is widely used in various fields including 3D space recognition, image acquisition, interaction, and games. Depth camera is used in order to produce depth image, various types of effort are made to improve quality of the depth image. In this paper, we suggests using area-based Canny edge detector to improve depth image in applying 3D technology based on depth camera. The suggested method provides improved depth image with pre-processing and post-processing by fixing image quality deterioration, which may take place in acquiring depth image in a limited environment. For objective image quality evaluation, we have confirmed that the image is improved by 0.42dB at maximum, by applying and comparing improved depth image to virtual view reference software. In addition, with DSCQS(Double Stimulus Continuous Quality Scale) evaluation method, we are reassured of the effectiveness of improved depth image through objective evaluation of subjective quality.

There can be three objectives why we apply 3D graphics in TV interface. First, inevitable usability. 3D space is the most inevitable way for product-user interaction deviating from the current aesthetic or technical purpose of use. Second, enhance emotional satisfaction by merging interface into real life. Beyond digilog(analog+digital), we wanted users to naturally use the interface as if they are using everyday objects. And in order to do this properly, we analyzed the behaviors of users how they use their everyday objects and then analyzed the attributes beyond each behavior. Third, capaticy for enourmous contents of the incorporated TV. The most efficient way to display enormous amounts of contents in a limited screen is 3D. And that 3D space gives us almost unlimited capacity in accepting contents. Now to conclude, using 3D graphics for TV interface has significance in many ways but the issue is how we can maintain the 3D effects while customizing them into real products.
