This paper examines the correlations between user characteristics and their perferences for two selected features of Web-based OPAC systems. User characteristics identified in this study were age, gender, educational status, computer skills and OPAC experience. Usability features included interaction styles, character and image on screen, browsing and navigating style, screen layout, and ease of learning, whereas availability features attended to availability of information, quality of information and up-to-date information. Individual variables and features are described, and the correlation between the variables and the features are explored using Pearson's correlation coefficient(r). Although based on a small-scale sample survey, a considerably large number of statistically significant correlations were found between the users' characteristics and the selected evaluation features of interactive Web-based OPACs. From these observations, it seems to be suitable to recommend that system designers should make a more considered appraisal of the users' demographic characteristics in the design of the new generation of OPAC such as in user-tailored interactive Web-based OPAC systems.

Under social changes focusing diversification, human-oriented ecological values and emotional and pscyhological satisfaction have been considered more important in space. Such trend has developed into interest in the effect of architectural space and shape on human perception and consciousness, and space has been considered as interactive in ecological, psychological and behavioral, and aesthetic terms rather than physical environment. In particular, exhibition space where interactive sympathy between environment and users through emotional experiences is more important, can have appropriate interaction through intended relationships between environment and humans in space. Therefore, this study aims to understand affordance, an internal mechanism of space recognition and human behaviors. Then it analysed representative types of exhibition space for emotional experiences as a characteristic of affordance Based on the results analysed, it is expected that introduction of affordance as real information in space will be helpful for effective connection of space with human emotional experiences.

키넥트의 성공적인 등장 이후 이 센서를 이용하여 사용자의 아바타에 해당하는 3차원 캐릭터의 움직임을 제어하는 많은 인터액티브 콘텐츠가 제작되었다. 하지만, 키넥트의 특성 상 사용자는 키넥트를 정면으로 바라보아야 하며, 모션 또한 제자리에서 수행할 수 있는 동작 정도만으로 국한되었다. 이 단점은 게임에서 가장 중요한 요구기능 중 하나인 가상공간 내비게이션을 수행하지 못하게 하는 근본적인 이유가 되었다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 단점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 두 단계로 이루어진 본 방법은 첫 번째 단계로서 사용자의 내비게이션 의도를 파악하기 위해 제자리 걷기 동작 제스처인식을 수행한다. 내비게이션 의도가 파악되면, 다음 단계에 현재 제자리 걷기동작을 상체와 하체 모션으로 자동으로 분리한 후, 미리 입력 받은 하체모션캡처 데이터를 현재 캐릭터 속도를 반영하여 수정한 뒤 분리된 원래 하체모션과 자연스럽게 교체한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하면, 키넥트 센서를 통해 사용자의 상체 모션을 그대로 반영함과 동시에 모션캡처 데이터를 이용하여 하체 동작을 실제 걷는 동작으로 바꾸어주기 때문에 사용자가 조정하는 3차원 캐릭터는 가상공간을 자연스럽게 내비게이션할 수 있다.

The purpose of this research is to study methods for performing transition that have visual representation of corresponding animations with no bounce in subsequently recognized user information when attempting to interact with a virtual 3D character in real-time using user motion. If the transitions of the animation are needed owing to a variety of external environments, continuous recognition of user information is required to correspond to the motion. The proposed method includes linear interpolation of the transition using cross-fades and blending techniques. The normalized playing time of the source animation was utilized for automatically calculating the transition interpolation length of the target animation and also as the criteria in selecting the crossfades and blending techniques. In particular, in the case of blending, the weighting value based on the degree of similarity between two animations is used as a blending parameter. Accordingly, transitions for visually excellent animation are performed on interactive holographic projection systems.

'Emotional Design' is appeared recently as one of the important issues in design field. Emotional Design is understanded from a interactive point of view, human and interior space. Child's formation of character grows in human, environment, space all. At all, growth process itself who develop infant's formation of character can speak that have function of emotional communication. Therefore, this study wishes to recognize how element of emotional design was reflected through analysis of children's hospital considering child's emotion reacting most sensitively about effect of surrounding environment. As result, Various sensitivity element through senses that can rouse interest in more child's emotion in children's hospital design is mayhave to reflected.

그래픽스 기술의 발전에 따라 캐릭터 애니메이션에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 사용자의 환경이나 실세계 환경에 상호작용 하면서 지능적으로 동작하는 캐릭터 애니메이션이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문은 사용자와 상호작용 하는 과정에서 사용자의 감정상태를 파악하고, 이에 대응하는 적절한 행동을 할 수 있는 캐릭터의 생성에 대한 연구이다. 본 논문에서는 캐릭터에 대하여 자동적(autonomous)이고 상호적인(interactive) 애니메이션을 전제로 하는 감성 캐릭터 애니메이션 시스템을 설계한다. 특히 캐릭터에 감성을 부여하기 위하여 OCC모델을 바탕으로 하여 시스템을 설계하였다.

Timing plays a key role in expressing the qualitative aspects of a character's motion; that is, conveying emotional state, personality, and character role, all potentially without changing spatial positions. Temporal editing of locomotion style is particularly difficult for a novice animator since observers are not well attuned to the sense of weight and energy displayed through motion timing; and the interface for adjusting timing is far less intuitive to use than that for adjusting pose. In this paper, we propose an editing system that effectively captures the timing variations in an example locomotion set and utilizes them for style transfer from one motion to another via both global and upper-body timing transfers. The global timing transfer focuses on matching the input motion to the body speed of the selected example motion, while the upper-body timing transfer propagates the sense of movement flow - succession - through the torso and arms. Our transfer process is based on key times detected from the example set and transferring the relative changes of angle rotation in the upper body joints from a timing source to an input target motion. We demonstrate that our approach is practical in an interactive application such that a set of short locomotion cycles can be applied to generate a longer sequence with continuously varied timings.

Having pet is one of the activities people living in modern society do to relieve stress and find peace of mind. Currently, the object of companion animals has moved beyond being a real 'living entity' and has developed to a stage where the animal's upbringing process can be enjoyed in a virtual space by being programmed in digital content. This paper studies detailed elements such as character design, interaction, and realism of 'Tamagotchi (1996)', which can be said to be the beginning of digital training content, and 'Peridot (2023)', a recently introduced augmented reality-based training content. The point was that it was training content using portable electronic devices. However, while the environment in the electronic device in which Tamagotchi's character exists was a simple black and white screen, the environment in which Peridot's character operates has been changed to the real world projected on the screen based on augmented reality. Mutual communication with characters in Tamagotchi remained a response to pressing buttons, but in Peridot, it has advanced to the point where you can pet the characters by touching the smartphone screen. In addition, through object and step recognition, it was confirmed that the sense of reality had become more realistic, with toys thrown by users on the screen bouncing off real objects. We hope that this research material will serve as a useful reference for the development of digital training content to be developed in the near future.
