With the recent development of ICT, diverse ICT-related fields are being developed and undergoing changes. Numerous researches are being actively conducted on the interactions between users, devices, and computers. Such interaction is now being applied to furniture; interactive furniture are on the rise with which humans can interact with their furniture. This study focused on such interactive furniture and purported to give some pointers to future research on the interaction between users and furniture. This study implemented a user diary on furniture use to analyze user tasks. By using affinity diagram analysis ideation workshop, user tasks were identified and analyzed. The analysis revealed that the future direction for interactive furniture should be automation an complexation. This study is significant in the following two aspects: 1) having suggested future directions for interactive furniture, and 2) serving as foundational data for future research on interactive furniture.

In the prior works on tabletop systems, a projection-based tabletop surface is mostly used to display computer images, and the participants interact with the display surface by hand multi-touching or using some tangible objects. In this research, however, we developed the FishBowl game that employs a scalable tabletop tiled display with infrared camera tracking coupled with PDA mobile interfaces. The focus of this game is to enhance user interactivity and realistic experience by coupling the high-resolution tabletop virtual environment and PDA mobile interface. This paper describes the game design followed by the system design and its detailed implementations. It also discusses the system usability and recommendation for its improvements after interviewing game players and then concludes with future research directions.

반도체 기술의 비약적 발전에 힘입어 현재의 개인용 컴퓨터는 고성능 CPU를 탑재하고 1990대의 텍스트 기반의 운영체제에서 벗어나 그래픽 기반의 운영체제에서 다양한 멀티미디어 기능을 제공 한다. 이를 위한 입력장치로 텍스트 기반 운영체제에서 주로 사용된 키보드뿐 아니라 마우스, 카메라, 터치스크린 등의 다양한 장치들이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 빔 프로젝터를 이용한 프레젠테이션의 경우 아직도 레이저포인터를 이용한 발표가 일반적이며 발표자와 빔 프로젝트용 PC와의 인터랙션이 없기 때문에 다양한 멀티미디어 기능 구현이 제한적이다. 본 논문에서는 USB 웹 카메라를 이용하여 프로젝터 화면을 촬영한 후 영상처리 라이브러리인 OpenCV를 기반으로 레이저 포인터의 위치와 동작을 검출하여 원거리에서도 사용자가 레이저 포인터를 이용하여 마우스 동작을 재현할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 활용하면 레이저 포인터를 사용하여 발표자가 별도의 입력장치 없이 PC와의 인터랙션이 가능해져서 다양한 멀티미디어 기반의 프레젠테이션이 가능해진다.

This paper describes a new tiled display framework called, iTDF (Interactive Tiled Display Framework), that is designed to support rapid construction of the interactive digital 3D contents running on top of the cluster-based tiled display. This framework allows synchronizing the rendering slaves, sharing software's state over the network, the features, such as, launching multiple applications on a cluster-based computers, moving and resizing windows, synchronization of rendering slaves, distributed shared memory, and unified input interface. This paper analyzes the requirements of the framework and describes the design and implementation of the framework. A couple desktop-based applications are ported with the new iTDF and to find out the usefulness and usability of the framework.

In this paper, we propose a real-time interaction method using user's mouth wind in mobile device. In mobile and virtual reality, user interaction technology is important, but various user interface methods is still lacking. Most of the interaction technologies are hand touch screen touch or motion recognition. In this study, we propose an interface technology that can interact with real time using user's mouth wind. The direction of the wind is determined by using the angle and the position between the user and the mobile device, and the size of the wind is calculated by using the magnitude of user's mouth wind. To show the superiority of the proposed technique, we show the result of visualizing the flow of the vector field in real time by integrating the mouth-wind interface into the Navier-Stokes equations. We show the results of the paper on mobile devices, but can be applied in the Agumented reality(AR) and Virtual reality(VR) fields requiring interface technology.

Extended Reality (XR), such as virtual and augmented reality, has huge potential for immersive data visualization and analysis. In XR, users can interact with data and other users realistically by navigating the shared virtual space, allowing for more intuitive data analysis. However, creating a visualization in XR also poses a challenge because complicated, low-level programming is required, which hinders broad adaptation in visual analytics. This paper proposes an interactive visualization authoring tool based on hand gesture for immersive data visualization-Gadget Arms. The proposed system provides a novel user interaction to create and place visualization in the 3D virtual world. This simple, but intuitive, user interaction enables user designs the entire visualization space in the XR without using a host computer and low-level programming. Our user study also confirmed that the proposed user interaction significantly improves the usability of the visualization authoring tool.

손 제스처 인식을 위한 손 위치 검출 및 추적 알고리즘에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔다. 검출된 손의 위치를 통한 사용자와 컴퓨터간의 인터랙션(Human Computer Interaction, HCI) 과정에서 손의 위치 좌표를 그대로 이용하는 방법은 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 이동 범위 내에서의 손의 위치 정보를 이용하여 컴퓨터상의 포인트를 효율적으로 컨트롤할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 손 위치 검출을 위해 깊이 센서를 이용하였으며 알고리즘의 효율성을 시험하기 위해 사용자의 손 움직임에 따른 포인트의 위치 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 추적되는 손의 위치를 이용해 효율적으로 포인트를 컨트롤함을 확인하였다.

In this paper I present a system that with infrared vision sense tracks the position and orientation of a wireless object on a tabletop display surface. The system offers two types of improvements over existing computer vision tracking approaches. First, the system tracks an object accurately without susceptibility to changes in lighting conditions. Second, the system tracks not only the orientation but button click state of the object. This system can detect these changes in real time. Finally, I present an application of the system : Color Lab Box.

In early stages of film or animation production, storyboard is used to visually describe the outline of a story. Drawings or photographs, as well as the texts, are employed for character / item placements and camera pose. However, commercially available storyboard tools are mainly drawing and editing tools, not providing functionality for item placement and camera control. In this paper, an Augmented Reality based storyboard tool is presented, which provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface for storyboard development. Using the presented tool, non-expert users may compose 30 scenes in his or her real environments through tangible building blocks which are used to fetch corresponding 3D models and their pose.
