  • 멀티미디어 기술의 총아라고 불리는 차세대 디지털 방송은 현재 선진 각 국에서 표준안 제정에 심혈을 기울이고 있으며 그 핵심적인 기술은 대부분 MPEG-2를 근간으로 하고 있는 실정으로 현재는 양방향 서비스에 대한 논의가 제한적으로 이루어지고 있다. 이에 차세대 영상압축 기술인 MPEG-4에서는 시스템 차원에서 사용자와의 상호작용을 지원할 수 있는 구조로 개발되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기술적 차이에 착안해서 현재 제정된 디지털 방송 표준안을 기본으로 하고 사용자와의 상호작용을 지원하는 부가 데이터 방송은 MPEG-4 시스템 표준을 이용하여 양방향성이 강조된 디지털 방송 시스템 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 기술은 별도의 하드웨어의 지원 없이 소프트웨어만으로 처리할 수 있으며 차후 하드웨어로 제작될 디지털 TV 수신기모델을 손쉽게 검증, 제시함으로써 셋톱박스 및 디지털 TV 개발에 응용할 수 있다.

  • WebGL is a cross-platform web standard for a low-level 3D graphics API based on OpenGL ES 2.0 and presents 3D graphics in web browsers without installing extra plug-ins. The reason that WebGL is notable is because it is included in the HTML5 standard which is getting the spotlight as a next-generation RIA(Rich Internet Application) platform for variable devices such as PCs, smart phones, table PCs, and smart TVs. In this research, we would like to introduce and develop a behavior engine for easy and rapid authoring of complicated interactions and 3D object's behavior models in WebGL-based contents.

  • A Digital TV system is necessary for data Processing as well as video and audio processing. Especially in the case of interactive broadcasting, it should manage returning channel created by the Internet, PSTN, and so on. Because of many functionalities and multitasking jobs, it needs an Operating System. Embedded Linux as open source program can increase a cost effectiveness in market and has many advantages - reusable device drivers and application programs, more convenient developing environment using shell and file system, and easy problem resolution within Open Source Community. In this paper, we modified Embedded Linux kernel and cross developing environment for a big-endian system, redesigned devices for kernel execution, and configured system memory map in order to load a linux kernel. Also we developed an device driver for entire system control.

  • The computer hardware development has provided many chances of emergence between art and technology. In many cases today's interactive artworks cannot be completed without audience's participation. The interactive production process with technical supplementation can be celled feedback. Mr. Nam Jun Paik showed 'Participant TV' that interacts with audience's response in real time. It means artwork changes with the constantly changing value from the data set from human visual perception. Dan Graham showed another feedback related work, which delays 5second playback in mirror that implies consequence of time. Today's media art has to sublimate coincidence, time ant audience into philosophical artwork through consonance that comes with video and sound as we can see from Bill Viola. Stelarc produced artworks. That use input data that is weak signals from brain, muscles. Through a terminal display with player, body expanded meaning of media. Jeffrey Shaw's 'Legible City' provided a fabrication of the reality with the interaction of bicycle's pedal speed and steering direction that is controlled by 4river. RE:MARK used microphone as input device as Edmond Couchot's 'Je same a la vent' and Nam Jun Paik's 'Participant TV' did. There is no communication without feedback between human being. The reality makes audience involved into artworks. That is the reason why feedback has to be natural. Through the feedback process, the originality of the idea is altered by audience. The feedback is not just part of flesh of artwork rather skeleton of it. Technological showoff cannot be art itself The perfection of technological application plan helps feedback that interacts with audience naturally in order that audience hoes not feel the feedback as artificial plan. Interactive media art has to be evolved into new media form with new integration feedback technology.

  • We describe the development of an interactive aerobic training system using vision-based motion capture and multimedia technology. Unlike the traditional one-way aerobic training on TV, the proposed system allows the virtual trainer to observe and interact with the user in real-time. The system is composed of a web camera connected to a PC watching the user moves. First, the animated character on the screen makes a move, and then instructs the user to follow its movement. The system applies a robust statistical background subtraction method to extract a silhouette of the moving user from the captured video. Subsequently, principal body parts of the extracted silhouette are located using model-based approach. The motion of these body parts is then analyzed and compared with the motion of the animated character. The system provides audio feedback to the user according to the result of the motion comparison. All the animation and video processing run in real-time on a PC-based system with consumer-type camera. This proposed system is a good example of applying vision algorithms and multimedia technology for intelligent interactive home entertainment systems.

  • It was a special phenomenon in the art of 20th century that the earnest engagement of spectators came up to the surface in the area of artwork-creation and art-experience which had been one-sided processes for a long time. Such a genre of Optical art or Kinetic art, had pulled out active engagements of audiences in enjoying diverse works, played the role of locomotive in the Interactive Art. Of course, many kind of art made an appearance on the channels of diverse media from that times. For example, many people came to enjoy taking part in such a genre as Happening formated the mode of face-to-face communication between the creator and the spectator. The appearance of the technology of digital media had a decisive influence on the area of the Interactive Art. From that time on, people have come to accept the reciprocity of the relations between artist and spectator naturally. This paper makes researches on some trends in the development of Interactive Arts by way of analyzing some representative Interactive Artworks typing the birth and growth of Interactive Art.

  • The charged broadcasting market has been becoming very competitive to get the limited media consumers since IPTV was introduced to the market. This research analyzed the competition among interactive broadcasting media. We employed the niche theory for comparing IPTV with Cable TV and Satellite TV, which are two major existing broadcasting media. For employing the niche theory, we focused on the gratification-opportunity features of the media caused by the consumers' gratification sought: ease of use, interactivity, variety of content, and economic feasibility. The results showed the extent to which media are utilized, the extent to which each pair of media are perceived as similar, and the competitive superiority between each pair of media on each dimensions. Finally, we examined the competition structure of IPTV and other broadcasting media, and proposed the competitive strategy for IPTV to get an advantages.
