Gesture is applied in many applications such as smart-phone, tablet-PC, and web-browser since it is a fast and simple way to invoke commands. For gesture applications, a gesture designer needs to consider both user and system during designing gestures. In spite of development of gesture design tools, some difficulties for gesture design still remains as followings; first, a designer must design every gesture manually one by one, and, second, a designer must repeatedly train gestures. In this paper, we propose a gesture proposal system that automates gesture training and gesture generation to provide more simple gesture design environment. Using automation of gesture training, a designer does not need to manually train gestures. Proposed gesture proposal system would decrease difficulties of gesture design by suggesting gestures of high recognition possibility that are generated based on mahalanobis distance calculation among generated and pre-existing gestures.

This research aims to suggest a multimodal non-touch gesture interface design to improve the usability of 3D sculpting task. The task and procedure of design sculpting of users were analyzed across multiple circumstances from the physical sculpting to computer software. The optimal body posture, design process, work environment, gesture-task relationship, the combination of natural hand gesture and arm movement of designers were defined. The preliminary non-touch 3D S/W were also observed and natural gesture interaction, visual metaphor of UI and affordance for behavior guide were also designed. The prototype of gesture based 3D sculpting system were developed for validation of intuitiveness and learnability in comparison to the current S/W. The suggested gestures were proved with higher performance as a result in terms of understandability, memorability and error rate. Result of the research showed that the gesture interface design for productivity system should reflect the natural experience of users in previous work domain and provide appropriate visual - behavioral metaphor.

멀티터치 스크린 상에서의 접촉식 제스처 UI(User Interface)는 사용자가 안정적으로 손을 사용할 수 있는 정적인 상황에서 편리하게 사용할 수 있다. 하지만, 조깅을 한다거나 운전을 하는 등의 동적인 상황에서는 접촉식의 제스처 인터페이스는 심각한 사용성 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정지 및 운동 상황 모두에서 사용할 수 있는 비접촉성 제스처 기반 인터랙션을 개발하고자 하였다. 비접촉성 제스처 UI 인식 방식은 컴퓨터 센서 제스처, 멀티 터치 제스처, 자이로 센서 세 가지로 제한하였다. 그리고 본 연구를 통해 정지 상황과 운동 상황에서 MP3 플레이어를 시용할 수 있는 제스처의 어휘 목록을 개발하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점과 시사점을 논의하였다.

In this paper, we investigated the touch gestures of the scroll direction of a small and long UI due to the characteristics of a device in a smartphone environment that has become popular and used. Touch gestures are touched and directed by triggers such as metaphors and affordances based on past experiences. Different types of touch gestures are used depending on the type of navigation, motion, and transformation gesture, but scrolling is the most frequently used among them. In general, the scroll is vertically scrolled, but recently, a design pattern that can be scrolled left and right inside is arranged to cause cognitive dissonance of users. In the use of an inner scroll that can scroll left and right by covering a part of the right content, the mixing of a non-scrollable design pattern becomes a factor that requires attention to the user. Therefore, it was found that the use of triggers and the use of consistent design patterns can enhance the user experience even in the inner scroll environment.

Creativity is a important keyword for users as well as for main design organization who needs it. But little attention has been given to the aspect of user's creativity, also there has been a few attempt to apply it into design development until now. Nowadays in design areas, user's experiences and actions are changing the passive states receiving meanings into the active states creating meanings voluntarily. It is resonable to suppose that creative stage is important for users and they have the possibility of new ideas of uses and creating new productions. User's experiences of objects includes that of being formed or supported previously and that of voluntary interpretations acquired for himself, which it may be the possibilities predicted in design process or unknown user's action areas. It is likely that creative use process by themselves are the actions applied and deviated from usability and function by main design organization, also creative productions are arranged and made by users. These have a scope of examination and research in probability that is occurs frequently in user. In this research, approaching with a term, 'User gestures', User gestures are the characteristic action areas based on user's voluntary behaviors, where are revealed a unessential and non-operational function as a action itself and various transformation and creation of products as a outcome of action. This fact proves clearly that user gestures have a worth of alive spectrum to observe aspects of user culture and could be a attractive approach to seek easily new design concept for designer and developer. A further direction of this study will be following areas, Ethnography methods research of user gestures, Cultural research to phenomenon of user design and UGSBD(User gesture scenario based design) research. And it seems probable that they are applied in design development as follows, User initiative customization products, User participatory recycling products and creativity-experience design.

This paper presents a real-time hand gesture recognition approach for controlling a computer. We define hand gestures as continuous hand postures and their movements for easy expression of various gestures and propose a Two-layered Bayesian Network (TBN) to recognize those gestures. The proposed method can compensate an incorrectly recognized hand posture and its location via the preceding and following information. In order to vertify the usefulness of the proposed method, we implemented a Virtual Mouse interface, the gesture-based interface of a physical mouse device. In experiments, the proposed method showed a recognition rate of 94.8% and 88.1% for a simple and cluttered background, respectively. This outperforms the previous HMM-based method, which had results of 92.4% and 83.3%, respectively, under the same conditions.

원격 3차원 디자인 협업 환경이란 원거리에 있는 디자이너들이 3차원 모델을 함께 동시적으로 다루는 협업 환경으로서, 제품 개발 프로세스의 비용과 시간을 단축하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 이에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이며 기존의 연구들도 2차원 데스크탑 환경에 제한된 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 새로운 협업 환경의 제안을 통해 지리적으로 떨어진 디자이너들간의 3D 모델에 관한 원활한 협업을 촉진하는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 증강현실 기반의 원격 3차원 디자인 협업 환경은 3D 모델의 공유를 위한 회전 원반(turntable)과 상대의 위치 및 제스처 정보를 제공하는 가상 그림자(virtual shadows)로 구성된다. 동시적으로 회전하는 회전원반은 물리적인 매개체로서 가상물체와 실제 세계를 자연스럽게 연결하는 동시에 상대의 실재감을 높인다. 가상그림자는 가상물체 주위로 보여지는 사람들의 손과 팔의 움직임을 시각화하여 공유하는 것으로, 상대의 위치뿐 아니라 지시, 제스처 등 행동에 대한 인식이 지속적으로 이루어지게 한다. 프로토타입을 제작하고 사용자 평가 실험을 실시하여 3차원 모델을 검토하는 단계에 그 유용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 데스크탑 환경의 모델링 툴에 익숙한 사용자들은 실제 공간에서 가상물체를 조작할 수 있음에 긍정적인 반응을 보였고 회전원반과 가상그림자의 제공은 태스크 수행의 정확도를 높이며 협업을 촉진하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 환경적 제약으로 원활하게 이루어지지 못했던 3D 모델에 관한 원격 협업에 의사소통의 장을 마련하고 이를 촉진시킨다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다. 본 환경에서 제시한 상대방과 협업대상물에 대한 심리적, 물리적 공유 감을 증대시키는 방법들은 3D 모델에 관한 디자인 협업에서 확장되어 다른 원격 협업을 지원하는 데도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

In recent, projection mapping, which has attracted high attention in the field of realistic media, is regarded as a technology to increase the users' immersion. However, most existing methods perform projection mapping on static objects. In this paper, we developed a technology to track the movements of users and dynamically map the media contents to the users' bodies. The projected media content is built by predefined gestures just using the user's bare hands without the special devices. An interactive immersive media system has been implemented by integrating these dynamic projection mapping technologies and gesture-based drawing technologies. The proposed realistic media system recognizes the movements and open / closed states of the user 's hands, selects the functions necessary to draw a picture. The users can freely draw the picture by changing the color of the brush using the colors of any real objects. In addition, the user's drawing is dynamically projected on the user's body, allowing the user to design and wear his t-shirt in real-time.

This paper introduce a quiz game contents based on gesture interface. We analyzed the off-line quiz games, extracted its presiding components, and digitalized them so that the proposed game contents is able to substitute for the off-line quiz games. We used the Kinect camera to obtain the depth images and performed the preprocessing including vertical human segmentation, head detection and tracking and hand detection, and gesture recognition for hand-up, hand vertical movement, fist shape, pass and fist-and-attraction. Especially, we defined the interface gestures designed as a metaphor for natural gestures in real world so that users are able to feel abstract concept of movement, selection and confirmation tangibly. Compared to our previous work, we added the card compensation process for completeness, improved the vertical hand movement and the fist shape recognition methods for the example selection and presented an organized test to measure the recognition performance. The implemented quiz application program was tested in real time and showed very satisfactory gesture recognition results.
