  • Realistic facial animation research field which communicates with human and computer using face has increased recently. The human face is the part of the body we use to recognize individuals and the important communication channel that understand the inner states like emotion. To provide the intelligent interface. computer facial animation looks like human in talking and expressing himself. Facial modeling and animation research is focused on realistic facial animation recently. In this article, we suggest the method of facial modeling and animation for realistic facial synthesis. We can make a 3D facial model for arbitrary face by using generic facial model. For more correct and real face, we make the Korean Generic Facial Model. We can also manipulate facial synthesis based on the physical characteristics of real facial muscle and skin. Many application will be developed such as teleconferencing, education, movies etc.

  • Haptics, the science and physiology of the sense of touch, has been investigated in the field of engineering and HCI to provide better computing environments for users. Previous haptic technology being focused was mainly on the PC environments; however, beginning with the i-Phone of Apple recent haptic technology has entered our daily lives. Despite its popularization, the business opportunities the technology will bring have not yet been investigated thoroughly. This research forecasts the application of haptic technology on mobile devices and the consequential business opportunity. Also, the direction of future research in the field of MIS will be proposed.

  • Hand gesture recognition has been widely used in virtual reality and HCI (Human-Computer-Interaction) system, which is challenging and interesting subject in the vision based area. The existing approaches for vision-driven interactive user interfaces resort to technologies such as head tracking, face and facial expression recognition, eye tracking and gesture recognition. The purpose of this paper is to combine the finite state machine (FSM) and the gesture recognition method, in other to control Windows Media Player, such as: play/pause, next, pervious, and volume up/down.

  • 본 논문에서는 복잡한 영상에서 추출해낸 손 영역으로부터 제스처를 인식하여 인간과 컴퓨터의 상호작용(HCI, Human-Computer Interaction)을 위한 보다 자연스러운 인터페이스를 제공한다. 제안하는 방법은 정규화된 RGB 색상 공간에 정의한 피부색의 가우시안 분포를 이용해 조명의 변화나 개인의 차이에도 안정적으로 손 영역을 추출하며, 배경에 대한 상대적인 움직임을 이용해 복잡한 영상에서도 효과적으로 손 영역을 추출해 낸다. 추출된 손 영역은 RBF(Radial Basis Function) 신경망을 이용해 각 제스처로 인식된다. 가상 환경과의 상호작용을 제공하기 위해 두 종류의 기본적인 정적 제스처들을 정의하며 간단한 구문론적 규칙을 사용해 하나 이상의 인식 결과들을 조합함으로써 적은 수의 제스처들만으로 보다 효율적이고 다양한 상호작용이 가능하게 한다. 제안하는 시스템은 TM320C80 DSP 칩을 사용하여 구현되었으며 300×240 영상을 12Hz로 처리함으로써 빠른 속도로 가상 환경의 인터페이스를 제공한다.

  • Gait control capacity for most trans-femoral prostheses is significantly different from that of a normal person, and training is required for a long period of time in order for a patient to walk properly. People become easily tired when wearing a prosthesis or orthosis for a long period typically because the gait angle cannot be smoothly adjusted during wearing. Therefore, to improve the gait control problems of a trans-femoral prosthesis, the proper gait angle is estimated through surface EMG(electromyogram) signals on a normal leg, then the gait posture which the trans-femoral prosthesis should take is calculated in the neural network, which learns the gait kinetics on the basis of the normal leg's gait angle. Based on this predicted angle, a postural control method is proposed and tested adaptively following the patient's gait habit based on the predicted angle. In this study, the gait angle prediction showed accuracy of over $97\%$, and the posture control capacity of over $90\%$.

  • During human-computer interaction(HCI), people typically send inputs to computers through electromechanical pointing devices. Many applied studies have therefore evaluated cursor-positioning movements made with various pointing devices. Though there were so many studies about performance of various pointing devices, it was nearly impossible to compare device performance each other until the Fitts' law was applied. It does appear that Fitts' law may predict performance reasonably well for the one C-D gain level. But in varying C-D gain levels, Fitts' law could not predict movement time. This study investigated the effects of C-D gain in mouse movement time and suggested a revised Fitts' model including C-D gain as an independent variable. The revised Fitts' model may use to measure the performance of various devices in varying C-D gain levels.

  • In this paper, we present an experiment conducted to examine how the web site's architecture, content quantity and the user task complexity affect its usability. The experiment was performed in two phases on college students to visit existing web sites which are readily accessible via the Internet. The results of experiment show that the web site's architecture significantly affects the efficiency and the effectiveness interactively with its content quantity and the user task's complexity. On the other hand, none of the above three factors show significant effects on the satisfaction and the learnability. In particular, the web site's content quantity does not have any statistically significant effects on the satisfaction and the learnability. It implies that the factors affecting the satisfaction and the learnability are different from those affecting the efficiency and the effectiveness. The analysis reassures that it is essential to consider the context of use in designing a web site.

  • This article shows how general software-ergonomic principles are successfully applied in the design of user friendly graphical interfaces. A theoretical model(WOB-Model) is derived from empirical studies and validated in the development of several systems. It provides basic principles within a well-balanced framework and leads to concrete design guidelines. The user tests with the software shows that many of the common usability problems can be eliminated.

  • 최근, 기계와 사람이 상호작용을 하는 HCI(Human-Computer Interaction) 기술이 중요해지고 있다. 그 중에서도 연구가들 사이에서 신체의 골격을 인식하는 동작인식 카메라인 키넥트를 활용한 연구들이 급증하고 있다. 키넥트를 사람과 배경의 깊이를 인식 및 분석한 후 사람인지를 인지한다. 하지만 사람과 배경의 깊이 단계가 같을 경우 사람을 인식하기 힘들다는 한계점이 있다. 본 논문에서는, 이와 같은 한계점을 해결하기 위한 관련 논문을 비교, 분석하고자 한다.
