최근 전자기기에서 시각 및 청각과 함께 촉각 디스플레이가 정보를 출력하는 중요한 수단으로 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 촉각 정보 출력을 위한 소형진동촉각(vibrotactile) 디스플레이 모듈을 개발하였다. 개발한 모듈은 주파수와 진폭을 독립적으로 조절할 수 있으며 핀이 직접 피부에 자극을 주기 때문에 몸체 전체가 떨리는 기존의 진동모터보다 정밀하고 다양한 촉각 표현을 할 수 있다. 또한 고전압을 이용하는 Piezo 방식과 달리 낮은 전력으로 동작이 가능하여 휴대장치에 직접 장착할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

Tactile sensation is essential for many manipulation and exploration tasks not only in a real environment but also in a virtual environment. In this paper, we discuss a conceptual design of an integrated tactile display system. The system comprises two parts: a 2 DOF force feedback device for kinesthetic display and a tactile feedback device for displaying the normal stimulation to skin and the skin slip/stretch. Psychophysical experiments measure the effects of fingerpad selection, the direction of finger movements and the texture width on tactile sensitivity. We also investigate characteristics of lateral finger movement while subjects perceive different textures. From the experimental results, the principal parameters for designing a tactile display are suggested. A tactile display device is implemented using eight piezoelectric bimorphs and a linear actuator, and is attached to a 2 DOF translational force feedback device to simultaneously simulate texture and stiffness of the object.

This paper describes the design and implementation of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and also estimates how well autonomous navigation and remote control of UGV can be performed through the optimized arbitration of several sensor data, which are acquired from vision, obstacle detection, positioning system, etc. For the autonomous navigation, lane detection and tracing, global positioning, and obstacle avoidance are necessarily required. In addition, for the remote control, two types of experimental environments are established. One is to use a commercial racing wheel module, and the other is to use a haptic device that is useful for a user application based on virtual reality. Experimental results show that autonomous navigation and remote control of the designed UGV can be achieved with more effectiveness and accuracy using the proper arbitration of sensor data and navigation plan.

Recently, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have received increasing attention, with the development of VR/AR devices such as head-mounted displays, haptic devices, and AR glasses. Medicine is considered to be one of the most effective applications of VR/AR. In this article, we describe a systematic literature review conducted to investigate the state-of-the-art VR/AR technology relevant to plastic surgery. The 35 studies that were ultimately selected were categorized into 3 representative topics: VR/AR-based preoperative planning, navigation, and training. In addition, future trends of VR/AR technology associated with plastic surgery and related fields are discussed.

This paper presents a haptic rendering algorithm in the case that the virtual environment elastically deforms in response to the force applied by a user with a virtual tool. Considering friction, elasticity, multiple contacts and dynamics of the virtual object, this algorithm lets the operator have the feel of interactions in the virtual environment as close as to the reality. Based on the proposed algorithm several experiments are conducted and its effectiveness is confirmed.

근래에 인간과 컴퓨터의 상호작용을 통하여 사용자에게 직관적인 정보를 제공하는 기술들이 발전하고 있으며, 그래픽 기술의 비실사 렌더링을 이용한 미술 기법을 사실감 있게 가상 체험하기 위한 어플리케이션이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문은 미술 기법 중 방망이를 이용한 탁본 기법을 가상의 환경에서 모사하기 위해 탁본의 방망이를 통한 힘 쉐이딩을 새롭게 고안하여 제안한다. 햅틱 커서의 포인트와는 달리 탁본 방망이의 면적이 접촉하는 부분에서 생기는 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 Height map으로 사용된 Canny Edge Detection 이미지를 통해 Height map을 부분적으로 재 정의하고 힘의 계산에 적용하여 충돌된 방망이의 힘 쉐이딩을 가능하게 하는 것이 원리이다. 그래픽 렌더링 효과와 함께 실시간으로 사용자에게 햅틱 장치를 이용하여 촉감 정보를 전달함으로써 다양한 미술 교육적 효과를 체험할 수 있는 방안을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Computing environments are being more and more various due to the development of technologies. While existing computing environments used for fixed locations or particular purposes by requesting big scale monitors or complicate calculation performance, recent computing environments are used for a variety of locations and for a diversity of purposes by using various devices. Because of the needs, digital device convergence, which emphases portability and mobility, came out. However, almost researches for user interface are performed for big scale monitors or complicate calculation performance until now. By the reason, user interface on each small device is different from others, or is not appropriate for the purpose of small device. Therefore, this research is to design Zoomable User Interface (ZUI) that adapts for small devices by adding the existing user interface on small devices and haptic technologies, and to implement a user interface for PDA devices.

In this paper, we propose "SenseMessenger" as a novel interaction method to capture and play tactile sense to let users feel enhanced sense experience. To improve this, we reconstructed the process of making cocktail to be digitalized for reinforcing the quality of user's experience, and designed cup-shaped devices, Sense Messenger, which is consist of Sense-recorder, Sense-player, and Sense-table. And, using these devices with common users, we discussed future applications.

컴퓨터 가상현실 기술은 반복적인 교육과 훈련을 필요로 하는 의료 시뮬레이션 분야에 도입되어 시술 훈련, 수술 계획 및 수술 시뮬레이션 등의 영역에 응용되고 있다. 3차원적 가시화나 네비게이션에 치중하던 기존의 의료 시뮬레이션에 보다 현실감을 증진시키기 위해서는 인체 해부학적 기관의 변형성과 사용자와 대상 기관 사이의 물리적인 상호작용이 반영되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 2차원 및 3차원 마우스만을 사용하던 상호작용 환경을 개선하여 시술 동작시 물리적인 역감을 전달받을 수 있는 햅틱 인터페이스를 도입하고. 보다 현실감 있는 시각적 디스플레이를 위해 햅틱 워크벤치를 사용하였다. 사용자의 햅틱 인터페이스 조작에 따른 가상 인체 기관의 물리적 변형 및 이에 따른 물리적 역감은 삼각메쉬를 이용한 매스-스프링 모델을 사용하여 구현하였고. 가상 시술 도구와 가상 인체 기관와의 빠른 충들 감지를 위해서는 OBBTree를 적용하였다.

Research in Human Computer Interface (HCI) is towards development of an application environment able to deal with interactions of both human and computers that can be more intuitive and efficient. This can be achieved by bridging the gap between the synthetic virtual environment and the natural physical environment. Thus a project called Tangible Space Initiative (TSI) has been launched by KIST. TSI is subdivided into Tangible Interface (TI) which controls 3D cyber space with user's perspective, Responsive Cyber Space (RCS) which creates and controls the virtual environment and Tangible Agent (TA) which senses and acts upon the physical interface environment on behalf of any components of TSI or the user. This paper is a brief introduction to a new generation of Human Computer Interface that bring user to a new era of interaction with computers in the future.
