In this paper, we propose technologies for enhancing the immersive realization of virtual objects in AR-based product design. Generally, multimodal senses such as visual/auditory/tactile feedback are well known as a method for enhancing the immersion in case of interaction with virtual objects. By adapting tangible objects we can provide touch sensation to users. A 3D model of the same scale overlays the whole area of the tangible object so the marker area is invisible. This contributes to enhancing immersion. Also, the hand occlusion problem when the virtual objects overlay the user's hands is partially solved, providing more immersive and natural images to users. Finally, multimodal feedback also creates better immersion. In our work, both vibrotactile feedback through page motors, pneumatic tactile feedback, and sound feedback are considered. In our scenario, a game-phone model is selected, by way of proposed augmented vibrotactile feedback, hands occlusion-reduced visual effects and sound feedback are provided to users. These proposed methodologies will contribute to a better immersive realization of the conventional AR system.

With the consistent development of the 3D application technique, visuals are available at more realistic quality and are utilized in many applications like game. In particular, interacting with 3D objects in virtual environments, 3D graphics have led to a substantial development in the augmented reality. This study proposes a 3D user interface to control objects in 3D space through virtual two-view method using only one camera. To do so, homography matrix including transformation information between arbitrary two positions of camera is calculated and 3D coordinates are reconstructed by employing the 2D hand coordinates derived from the single camera, homography matrix and projection matrix of camera. This method will result in more accurate and quick 3D information. This approach may be advantageous with respect to the reduced amount of calculation needed for using one camera rather than two and may be effective at the same time for real-time processes while it is economically efficient.

Recently, public interest in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has increased. Therefore, computer graphics-related research has been actively conducted. This has included research on virtual space related to human posture implementation. However, such research has focused on general posture in humans. This paper presents a system with reference to the basic posture in sports climbing and the inverse kinematics method for generating the positions and behavior of virtual characteristics in a three-dimensional virtual space. The simulation based on the inverse kinematics method, produced with an inverse kinematics solver and initial pose animation from motion capture, provides realistic and natural movement. We designed a simulation system to generate correct posture and motions similar to those in sports climbing by applying the basic procedure of sports climbing. The simulation system provides help for producing content about sports climbing, such as learning programs for novice climbers and sports climbing games.

In this paper, a VR-based cyber hiking system was designed to provide virtual reality for famous mountains that can offer the real senses and feelings of hiking in supporting environmental factors of actual mountains such as the temperature, air, sound, echoes, etc., of the mountain the user wants to climb. The VR-based cyber hiking system that reflects real-time site conditions is largely consisted of the data collection module that collects data from the live site, multiple drive modules that enables the user to feel real senses using data from the sites, and sensor module to detect the stimuli provided by the drive modules and the user's physical body transition. Unlike existing VR-based hiking systems, the proposed cyber hiking system not only provides simple virtual reality for the wanted mountain, but can also provide the natural conditions of real mountains and implement the uphill and downhill of hiking routes. In particular, it has the effect of providing fun and game elements to users by excluding unnecessary conditions and risks that may arise in actual hiking and instead supporting augmented realities such as squirrels on actual hiking paths. In addition, in providing users with the changes in their body before and after hiking, it is expected to be effective in providing diverse feedback such as the height, gradient, and speed of mountain hiking.

Recently, new content for e-leisure, including e-sports and e-games, has become necessary. To meet this requirement, e-leisure mobile AR studies which track human are underway. The tracking performance at long distances is important because e-leisure mobile AR is used in outdoor environments. However, conventional mobile AR applications such as SNOW and Snapchat have the disadvantage of low tracking performance at long distances. Therefore, we propose an e-leisure mobile AR in outdoor environments. The proposed e-leisure mobile AR can estimate the position of the head in outdoor environments at long distances by using color markers and the human body ratio, and then augment a virtual object at the estimated position. The performance of the proposed e-leisure mobile AR was evaluated by measuring the tracking performance and processing time.

Multi-touch display system has recently attracted world wide attention due to easy accessibility to the various interactive media without any specialized equipments. Especially, Microsoft Sphere(R) shows a considerable promise in treating non-fiat multi-touch display. The distinctive feature of the system is a stable multi-touch interaction on a spherical display. To extend the possibility of the interactions to the more various display surfaces, this paper propose a multi-touch interaction system in the circumstance of the irregular convex surface. The proposed method can be used efficiently in various tangible interface, for example, the interactive diorama system at the exhibition or the tangible arcade game.

스마트폰의 빠른 보급으로 위치기반 서비스 (Location Based Service)가 새롭게 주목 받고 있다. 위치기반 서비스는 이동통신망이나 위성항법장치 (GPS) 등을 통해 얻은 위치정보를 바탕으로 이용자에게 여러 가지 서비스를 제공하는 서비스를 말한다. 현재 위치기반 서비스는 소셜 네트워크 서비스, 증강현실, 게임 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 단순 정보뿐만 아니라 복합 상황정보를 이용한 안전 및 사고예방을 위한 애플리케이션은 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 휴대성과 이동성의 장점을 가진 스마트 모바일 환경에서 위치기반 서비스를 통해 상황정보를 제공하는 지능형 감시 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 본 시스템은 감시대상자가 소지한 스마트폰의 GPS를 이용하여 위치 데이터를 획득하고, 기울기 및 압력 센서 등을 이용하여 감시대상자의 상태정보를 획득 한다. 또한 이러한 위치 데이터와 센싱 데이터를 지도 OpenAPI, 날씨 OpenAPI, 안전/위험지역 설정 등의 기능과 결합하여 지능적 복합 상황정보로 표현한다. 이러한 기능들을 안드로이드 기반 애플리케이션으로 개발함으로써 감시자 또한 모바일 환경에서 감시할 수 있도록 한다. 이를 통해 감시자는 이동하면서 원거리에 있는 감시대상자의 실시간 이동경로와 복합 상황정보를 확인하고 알림 받을 수 있다. 이와 같은 기능을 통해 아동 범죄, 노약자 보호 등의 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

This study aims to analyze what elementary school pre-service teachers focused on and what challenges they faced in designing and producing a guided science inquiry program based on augmented reality (AR) and to provide some implications for teachers' professionalism and teacher education. To this end, focusing on the cases of pre-service teachers who designed and created AR-based guided inquiry programs, the researchers extracted and categorized the pre-service teachers' focus and challenges from the program design and production stages. As a result, in the program design stage, the pre-service teachers tried to construct scenarios that could promote students' active inquiry process. At the same time, drawing on the unique affordances of AR, the pre-service teachers focused on creating vivid visual data in a 3D environment and making meaningful connections between virtual and real-world activities. The pre-service teachers faced challenges in making use of the advantages of AR technology and designing an inquiry program due to a lack of background knowledge about CoSpaces, a content creation program. In the program production stage, the pre-service teachers tried to make their program easy to handle to improve students' concentration on inquiry activities. In addition, challenges of programming using CoSpaces were reported. Based on these results, educational implications were discussed in terms of the pedagogical uses of AR and teachers' professionalism in adopting AR in science inquiry.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술이 문화예술 분야에 접목되면서 수동적이었던 전시 관람 형태가 능동적인 관람 형태로 바뀌고 있다. 특히, 지능형 가이드 시스템의 등장은 기존의 관람 문화를 크게 변화시켰다. 지능형 가이드 시스템이란 사용자에게 전시물에 대한 정보 및 전시장의 위치 정보를 제공해주는 시스템을 말한다. 현재 상용화되고 있는 지능형 가이드 시스템은 크게 휴대폰, PDA, 게임기 등의 휴대형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템과 HMD와 같은 착용형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템으로 나뉠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현재 상용화된 시스템들의 한계(예를 들어, 특정 장치를 직접 착용 혹은 소지해야 함)를 서술하고, 이를 보완하는 프로젝터 기반의 가이드 시스템에서 더 나아가 임의의 공간에 원하는 전시물 구성, 설치 등을 신속, 정확하게 수행하는 지능형 가이드 시스템을 제안한다. 프로젝터 기반의 지능형 가이드 시스템은 기반 기술로 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 필요로 하는데, 이는 임의의 환경에서 임의의 위치에 다수의 사용자에게 고화질, 대화면 영상 정보를 제공해 준다. 그러나, 기존의 지능형 프로젝션 기술은 성능 및 안정성을 위해 대부분 가시적인 패턴 및 마커를 사용하는데, 이는 사용자에게 제공되는 정보를 관찰하는 데 방해가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 관점에서 유용한 비간섭 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 사용한다. 즉, 본 논문에서는 마커나 패턴을 사용함으로써 정확성이나 안정성은 보장하지만, 마커나 패턴을 은닉하여 사용자의 눈에 띄지 않도록 함으로써, 사용자는 원하는 정보를 아무런 방해 없이 제공받을 수 있다. 제안된 시스템을 미술 작품 감상을 위한 가이드 시스템으로 적용해 본 결과, 사용자는 자유로운 환경에서 자신의 위치나 작품에 대한 설명을 대화면으로 제공받으면서, 편안하게 그림을 감상할 수 있었다.
