This paper will be devoted to investigation of recent changes in cultural policy. This includes the increasing policy concern with 'social effects' of culture and the development of policies for 'cultural and creative industries'. British creative industries approaches the arts as a business that can both sustain individual artists and lead to wealth creation in the economy of whole countries. In this context, this study aims to investigate the comparison and contrast of the impact and stature of the UK creative industries with those from South Korea.

This paper reports generating creative ideas based on customer needs using Kano Model and Importance-Differentiation Matrix (I-D Matrix). Nowadays, every customer demands creative ideas on product innovations in order to be satisfied her needs. However, most existing methods are limited to get creative ideas that reflect customer needs. Any creative ideas that do not fully reflect customer needs are obviously more difficult to succeed in the market than those that reflect customer needs. This paper distinguishes each quality elements the customer needs in terms of Kano Model. And it presents the effective ways of generating creative ideas by I-D Matrix in order to overcome current uppermost limits.

본 논문은 3D 스캐너 및 센서 등으로 캡처되어 3D로 복원된 얼굴 객체의 부위별 의미 있는 영역에 대한 분할을 자동으로 수행하는 기술을 제안한다. 3D 스캔된 얼굴 모델을 모델링, 애니메이션, 3D 프린팅 등의 다양한 응용분야에 활용하기 위해서는 스캔된 영역의 의미 있는 부위별 인식이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 부위별 의미 있는 영역 레이블링이 된 템플릿 모델을 입력된 3D 복원 모델로 전이하여 복원된 3D 모델의 부위별 의미 있는 영역을 자동으로 분할하고 분할된 영역의 일관성을 유지하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Since 1997 the United Kingdom has pursued creative industry and creative city development in accordance with the New Labor Party policy, strengthening its cluster policy by assigning creative city policies to traditional manufacturing-oriented regions. Tech City in London, one of the most successful examples of digital clusters, is an area in which diverse ecosystems for venture business integration have been established, as the once barren space began to spontaneously develop. For this region, systematic linkages including universities, private companies, start-ups, and accelerators have been added, along with the UK government's active support system. As a result of this opportunity, the scale of the UK start-up ecosystem has significantly grown, the number of local companies has surged, and brand effect has greatly improved. Tech City is an example of a well-balanced combination of public effort and private governance, based on the region's historical background and its potential for growth. It is an effective coordination of public policy and private active investment, services, research, and education. The market platform for institutional technology and commercialization, and aggressive investment shares in the risk, have lead to its growth as a start-up and an innovative city. Britain's efforts to expand the nationwide cluster for the future-oriented digital economy is most noteworthy.

This paper describes a flexible visuo-haptic display module. We have developed a flexible electro-active polymer (EAP) actuator and a thin flexible visual display with $3{\times}3$ array configuration via polymer technology. The flexible actuator consists of nine EAP cells vertically moving in response to change in their thickness. The flexible display uses polymer based optical waveguide allowing light to scatter only at specific area. The display film is transparent and identically designed to the array pattern to fit for the arrangement of actuator cells. A pressure sensor is installed under the integrated module. The performance of the actuator is proved to be sufficient for satisfying perceivable range of human touch sense. The integrated system can provide interactive haptic feedback such as key pressing, contact vibration sensations, and etc. in accordance with user input.

Creative industries and creative occupations have been attracting issues in recent years, in both policy and academic fields. Although no literature has yet made all-embracing definitions of creative sectors, it is important to measure creative workers who are contributing to the national economy. Since 2000, many countries including UK, France, Germany, Finland, Hongkong, US, Canada, etc. have tried to develop more refined mapping methodologies for measuring the creative economy. However we are lack of deep scrutiny in the criteria select which sector is creative or not, as well as in existing methodologies for measuring creative employment. This paper presents a creative mapping methodology, called 'Creative Trident' and criteria that can be applied to measuring the scale of creative employment in Korea. Using annual labor data from Statistics Korea and Ministry of Employment and Labor, this research found that creative employment in Korea amounts to 40,922 and 6.65% of total employment. Also the research found that there are many workers who are creatively occupied outside the creative industries, called embedded creative workers which are 248,445 and 33.5% of total creative employment. That means embedded workers take some large portion of all creative workers and are dispersed across all the sectors of the economy. The research demonstrates that creative trident can be useful to estimate the true size of creative employment in Korean and finishes with some academical and practical implications.

We present a system for generating 3D personalized figures. This system provides 3D figures model modification and combination functions based on the content-awareness. The integrity of the 3D model must be guaranteed at the time of slicing of the 3D model for 3D printing. In addition to this, with 3D printing, we generally have to print a hollow model in order to save money, time, and the integrity of the print. This paper proposes the automatic algorithm that creates the 3D individual figures with depth sensor and the easy UI functions for deformation, thickness adjustment, and combination of the generated 3D figures model based on the content-awareness. Our proposed method maintains the unique features of the generated 3D figures and ensures the successful 3D printing.

Recently, creative innovation has become a major topic in management innovation and due to this, various researches on its need and methodologies are being performed. According to previous studies on ambidexterity, explorative innovation is closer to divergent and right-sided brain, while exploitative innovation is closer to convergent and left-sided brain. Topic was to identify preceding element which affects Ambidextrous Innovation. For this topic, 129 Six Sigma projects from 19 different companies were collected. Ambidextrous index from preceding studies was used. This index represents the degree of ambidextrous activation and can be calculated by multiplying cumulative usage of exploitative tools with that of explorative tools. In the project characteristics, simple linear regression result showed leadership degree, team's vitalization degree and leader capability degree have effect in positive direction.

This paper describes new tactile feedback patterns and the effect of their input performance for a button GUI activated by a tap gesture on mobile touch devices. Based on an analysis of touch interaction and informal user tests, several tactile feedback patterns were designed. Using these patterns, three user experiments were performed to investigate appropriate tactile feedback patterns and their input performance during interaction with a touch button. The results showed that a tactile pattern responding to each touch and release gesture with a rapid response time and short falling time provides the feeling of physically clicking a button. The suggested tactile feedback pattern has a significantly positive effect on the number of typing errors and typing task completion time compared to the performance when no feedback is provided.
