Inclusive design is increasingly gaining attention, as some people find using products difficult after becoming physically impaired, despite daily use. However, making inclusive products is a challenge for designers or companies, as a lack of knowledge and tools stems their low involvement in it. Developing inclusive design tools is thus needed. This study developed criteria to assess upper extremity capabilities corresponding to specific daily activities. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 58 physiatrists and orthopedists. Non-parametric statistics were employed and medians were adopted as representative scores in the assessment criteria based on normality and reliability test results, non-normal data, and strong reliability of respondents in ranking. Consequently, an assessment tool was developed with 14 criteria (divided into range of motion and strength) and capability scores between 0 and 100, which discerned the moderately impaired from the severely disabled and fully capable. Since the doctors agreed to adopt the criteria but assign numeric values, especially for mild impairments, their capability assessment perception was likely influenced by dichotomy. To compensate for these deficits, qualitative or ergonomic approaches are considered simultaneously.

본 연구는 색 조명 시각 자극이 정상인의 기억작용에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 평가해보고자 하였다. 피험자는 대학생 성인 남, 여 20대 (20-30세) 각각 10명을 대상으로 실시하였으며 자체 제작한 기억 테스트(Memory test)를 활용하였다. 색채 환경은 방음 암실에서 백색광원을 파장대별로 필터링한 색 조명을 사용하여 제시하였으며 실험 측정 파라미터로서는 정확도(accuracy), 반응시간(Response time) 그리고 학습시 주로 활성화 되는 뇌파인 알파와 세타파의 주파수 대역을 측정하여 기억기능을 수행하는 대뇌의 기억 활성화 상태를 색 조명에 따라 비교 분석 하였다. 측정결과 각각의 색조명에 대한 정확도는 파랑색에서 증가하고 반응시간을 노랑과 파랑에서 감소했다. 뇌파의 활성화에서도 흥분이나 긴장을 상징하는 빨강의 색보다는 파랑색과 보라색과 같은 단파장의 색이 알파파나 세타파를 활성화 시키는데 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 연구가 감성적 색 조명 디자인의 응용이나 색 관련 제품 계발에 적극 활용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

After the scientific development of human history, numerous images have been developed and expanded in digital media as a communication tools. Image digital media make communication closer between sender and receptor. The image digital media which has been developed with the change of technology and media transformation have shortened visual information transportation and the time as well by combining the sense of visual and audio. Motion graphic field has been emerged as the type of image digital media development. The development of motion graphic make possible for the expressive effect and dynamic image technique which is impossible by the existing media type. Especially, it is applied to various field such as the title of movie, TV program, and advertise or music video etc. These image expression techniques are stimulating acceptor's emotion to take a role of emotion communication function also. This study aims to find the characteristics motion graphic of which how influence as an effective communication tool as important role to the receptors, and the examine the effect and application of motion graphic to the receptors as a emotion communication tool by case study.

This paper suggests to apply mirror-reflected method based 2D emotion recognition database to 3D application. Also, it makes facial expression of fuzzy modeling using probability of emotion. Suggested facial expression function applies fuzzy theory to 3 basic movement for facial expressions. This method applies 3D application to feature vector for emotion recognition from 2D application using mirror-reflected multi-image. Thus, we can have model based on fuzzy nonlinear facial expression of a 2D model for a real model. We use average values about probability of 6 basic expressions such as happy, sad, disgust, angry, surprise and fear. Furthermore, dynimic facial expressions are made via fuzzy modelling. This paper compares and analyzes feature vectors of real model with 3D human-like avatar.

This study investigates how the users' perceptions on like function in social media affect their attitudes toward the number of likes they receive from others. People conveniently believe that the number of likes is a significant measure of their online content quality and popularity. However, we take an ambivalent view that people do not settle their perceptions on the likes but change their like assessments according to circumstances. Specifically, we propose a model wherein emotional responses to the received likes may affect the value assessment of the likes. Our model shows how people resolve their internal contradiction on the value of the likes by flipping the traditional cognition-to-emotion mechanism to emotion-to-cognition mechanism. We validate the reversed dynamics between judgements and feelings using the data collected from 548 social media users. Results confirm that social media users' attitudes toward likes is largely affected by their emotional responses to their received number of likes. The implications of this study explain social media users' ambivalent attitudes toward likes by showing how they adjust their individual like valuation using their emotional responses.

This article aimed at broadening the view on 'the concept of function' in furniture design. In this context, we argued that the established concept of furniture function has confined itself to the rational perspective, so that the emotional action and influence of furniture hardly regarded as an important issue in furniture design, and this has been a hinderance to multidirectional discussions on the meaning of furniture in our life. Starting from the investigation on the basis that forms the different dimensions of our experience of furniture, we clarified that we should view the meaning of furniture within a wider sphere where the actions of furniture on our perceptional, behavioral, and emotional levels are inclusively considered. In this light, 'emotional function' of furniture was defined as a concept that explains a multidimensional action of furniture, which leads creative aesthetic experience which enrich the interplays between designer, furniture, and user. The feasibility of the concept has been examined by an analysis on the characteristics of contemporary Art Furniture, which is experimental approaches towards various aesthetic values of art and design. In order to realize emotional function of furniture, furniture should become an experiment for the new perception and emotion; invite more of the user's interplay and action in the meaning-making process; and arouse emotional echoes and reflections within user's mind.

In this paper, the peak finding algorithms corresponding to the Autocorrelation Function (ACF), which are widely exploited for detecting the pitch of voiced signal, are proposed. According to various researchers, it is well known fact that the estimation of fundamental frequency (F0) in speech signal is not only very important task but quite difficult mission. The proposed algorithms, presented in this paper, are implemented by using many characteristics - such as monotonic increasing function - of ACF function. Thus, the proposed algorithms may be able to estimate both reliable and correct the fundamental frequency as long as the autocorrelation function of speech signal is accurate. Since the proposed algorithms may reduce the computational complexity it can be applied to the real-time processing. The speech data, is composed of Korean emotion expressed words, is used for evaluation of their performance. The pitches are measured to compare the performance of proposed algorithms.
