본 논문에서는 영상 처리 및 컴퓨터 비전 분야의 기술을 마이크로 소프트 사의 키넥트에 적용하여 효과적인 체감형 학습을 위한 콘텐츠를 구성하고자 한다. 일반적으로 사람들이 많이 알고 있는 손 그림자 놀이를 응용하여 참여자들의 움직임을 통해 인터랙션을 발생시킬 수 있도록 하였고, 깊이정보맵으로부터 카메라에서 가장 가까운 거리에 있는 영역을 검출하기 위해 Meanshift segmentation(평균이동분할) 알고리즘을 적용 시켰다. 본 시스템의 체감형 콘텐츠는 문화 콘텐츠의 한 종류로서 이의 확장된 버전이 여러 분야에서 많은 활용이 될 것을 기대한다.

코딩 교육에 대한 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 국가 주도적 교육이 강화되고 있다. 컴퓨터 프로그래밍이 낯선 교육생을 위해 교육 커리큘럼에 블록 코딩을 도입하고 있으나 낮은 흥미도로 인해 여전히 교육 성취도가 낮게 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 프로그래밍에 대한 관심을 유발하고 학습을 보조하는 드론 기반의 체감형 교육 프로그램모델을 제시한다. 제시하는 교육 모델은 사용자가 코딩한 블록 코드를 파이썬 코드로 변환하여 보여주고, 블록 코드로 첨부된 드론의 동작을 제어하도록 코딩할 수 있다. 사용자의 심화학습을 위해 추가적으로 제공하는 웨어러블 장갑 컨트롤러를 통해 드론과 연관하여 동작 제어가 가능하게 하여 흥미 유발과 더불어 학습 효과 향상을 기대할 수 있다.

This research suggests the framework for human body learning system using various forms of bidirectional interfaces. The existing systems mostly use the limited and unidirectional methods which are merely focused on the visual information. Our system provides more realistic visual information using 3D organ models from the real human body. Also we combine the haptic and augmented reality techniques into our system for wider range of interaction means. Through this research, we aim to overcome the limitation of existing science education systems and explore the effective scheme to fuse the real and virtual educational environment into one.

To enhance the effect of science educational contents, we developed a motion based training content: 3D space exploration. In this content, we used the 3D depth camera for user's motion recognition. Learners have to conduct the space station maintenance mission using the motion based natural and intuitive interface. The result this study is expected to propose the immersive training simulation for young science learners.

TPR(Total Physical Response) is a new representative learning method for children's education. Today's approach to TPR has focused on signals from a user which becomes input data in a human-computer interaction, but the accuracy of sensing from body signals(e. g. motion and voice) isn't so perfect that it seems difficult to apply on an education system. To overcome these limits, we suggest a mediating interface device which can detect the user's motion using correct numerical values such as acceleration and angular speed. In addition, we suggest new design requirements for the mediating device through analyzing children's behavior as human factors by ethnography research and protocol analysis. As a result, we found that; children are unskilled in physical control when they use objects; tend to lean on an object unconsciously with touch. Also their behaviors are restricted, when they use objects. Therefore a mediating device should satisfy new design requirements which are make up for unskilled handling, support familiar and natural physical activity.

This paper proposes a dynamic gesture recognition algorithm using SVM(Support Vector Machine) which is suitable for multi-dimension classification. First of all, the proposed algorithm locates the beginning and end of the gestures on the video frames at the Kinect camera, spots meaningful gesture frames, and normalizes the number of frames. Then, for gesture recognition, the algorithm extracts gesture features using body parts' positions and relations among the parts based on the human model from the normalized frames. C-SVM for each dynamic gesture is trained using training data which consists of positive data and negative data. The final gesture is chosen with the largest value of C-SVM values. The proposed gesture recognition algorithm can be applied to the interactive storybook as gesture interface.

NUI(Natural User Interface) allows users to directly interact with surrounding digital devices using their voices or body motions without additional input/output interface devices. Our study has been carried out on human users who play a tangible game with body motions in the NUI-applied smart space. ECG was measured for 60 seconds duration before and after playing the game to determine user stress levels, and the measured signals were analyzed through an improved Random Forest algorithm. In order to experiment by a supervised learning, users additionally input whether or not the user felt stress. Moreover, the improved algorithm showed 1.04% higher accuracy than existing algorithm.

There has been an increasing interest in new industry and demand creations by the convergence and integration between IT and infrastructure and BT, NT, and CT and the convergence of IT and spread of cloud computing have changed the IT service environment. Even in the educational field, the convergence and integration of contents with various IT have rapidly emerged and learning equipments for the educational purpose have expanded to the mobile media platform from PCs so that learning without limitations to time, place and equipment has become possible. Contents necessary for the smart education are under way by research development utilizing cyber reality and simulation, and 3D technologies. The purpose of this study is to propose marine contents use and service plans for the educational purpose in order to produce various types of contents for the marine life and environment, to improve the school achievement by stimulating interest and to provide individually customized learning.

무용, 춤, 연기 등의 전문가 퍼포먼스를 분석, 학습, 보급하는 콘텐츠 기술개발은 문화산업의 중요한 당면과제이나 기존 기술은 동작만 인식하고, 감성 및 도구를 포함하지 않으며, 단순 열람은 가능하나 체험 및 학습할 수 있는 효율적인 방법이 부재하다. 따라서 전문가의 퍼포먼스 동작을 일반인 시점에서 학습할 수 있는 체감형 콘텐츠를 제공하기 위해서는 빠르고 능동적인 동작 영상 획득 시스템의 개발과 동작 데이터를 분석 및 생성하는 기술들이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 퍼포먼스 무용의 학습 콘텐츠 제작을 위한 핵심 기술들의 동향을 분석하고자 한다.

As the existing edutainment contents for children are mostly comprised of educational tools which unilaterally induce educatees to passively respond to them, the content-creating methodologies in terms of which active and voluntary learning is made possible is urgently needed. In this paper, we present the implementation of the tangible 'electronic dice' interface as an interactive tool for behavior-based edutainment contents, and propose a methodology for developing edutainment contents for children by utilizing the recognition technique of hand movement based on depth-image information. Also proposed in the paper are an authoring and management tool of learning quizzes that allows educators to set up and manage their learning courseware, and a log analysis system of learning achievement for real-time monitoring of educational progress. The behavior-based tangible interface and edutainment contents that we propose provide the easy-to-operate interaction with a real object, which augments educatees' interest in learning, thus leading to their active and voluntary attitude toward learning. Furthermore, The authoring and management tool and log analysis system allow us to construct learning programs by children's achievement level and to monitor in real-time the learning development of children educatees by understanding the situation and behavior of their learning development from the analytic results obtained by observing the processes of educatees' solving problems for themselves, and utilizing them for evaluation materials for lesson plans.
