A tangible sports game is an exercise game that uses sensors or cameras to track the user's body movements and to feel a sense of reality. Recently, VR indoor sports room systems installed to utilize tangible sports game for physical activity in schools. However, these systems primarily use screen-touch user interaction. In this research, we developed a V-Catch Vision system that uses AI image recognition technology to enable tracking of user movements in three-dimensional space rather than two-dimensional wall touch interaction. We also conducted a usability evaluation experiment to investigate the exercise effects of this system. We tried to evaluate quantitative exercise effects by measuring blood oxygen saturation level, the real-time ECG heart rate variability, and user body movement and angle change of Kinect skeleton. The experiment result showed that there was a statistically significant increase in heart rate and an increase in the amount of body movement when using the V-Catch Vision system. In the subjective evaluation, most subjects found the exercise using this system fun and satisfactory.

Recently, the issue has been tangible game environment due to the various interactive interface developments. In this paper, we propose the multi card touch based interactive arcade system by using marker recognition interface and multi-touch interaction interface. For our system, the card's location and orientation information is recognized through DI-based recognition algorithm. In addition, the user's hand gesture tracking informations are provided by the various interaction metaphors. The system provides the user with a higher engagement offers a new experience. Therefore, our system will be used in the tangible arcade game machine.

The most profound technologies are those that disappear. Silicon-based information technology, in contrast, is far from having become part of the environment. The idea of integrating computers seamlessly into the world at large runs counter to a number of present-day trends. Ubiquitous computing is not just aiming nomad multimedia. Rather, this computing environment lets us free to use computers without thinking and so to focus beyond them on new goals. In that context, Mom is such a fundamental membrane through which humans can interact with the environment. An embodied interaction paradigm, based on Mom, is investigated. Mom, space. sensing/perception, ubiquitous computing, and interactive technology are some of the key ideas to explore.

Tele-Gesture is a tangible user interface(TUI) device that allows a user to physically point to a 3D object in real life and have their gestures play back by a robotic finger that can point to the same object, either at the same time, or at another point in time. To understand the extent of the gestures as new way of digital collaborative communication, collaboration situation and types were experimented as TUI implementations. The design prototype reveals that there is a rich non-verbal component of communication in the form of gesture-clusters and body movements that happen in an digital communication. This result of analysis can contribute to compile relevant contributions to the fields of communication, human behavior, and interaction with high technology through an interpretive social experience.

This paper presents MIDAS (Media Interaction Design Authoring System), an authoring toolkit for designers and artists to develop working prototypes in new interaction design projects. Field research were conducted to identify the requirements and a case study of designing new interactive products was carried out to examine the feasibility of the new tool. MIDAS provides easier ways of integrating hardware and software, to manage a wide range of electric input and output elements and to employ 3D Augmented Reality technology within conventional multimedia authoring tools, such as Director and Flash, which are popularly used by designers. MIDAS was used in case study projects of design education as well as by voluntary designers for evaluation. From the result of case studies, it was found that many design projects were successfully accomplished using MIDAS. Designers who participated in the projects reported that MIDAS not only helped them to concentrate more on ideation but also was very easy to use as they implemented the physical interface concepts without advanced engineering skills. It is expected that MIDAS can also support prototyping in interactive media an, tangible user interface development and related human computer interaction fields.

본 연구에서는 디지털 콘텐츠와 물리적 미디어가 유기적으로 결합할 수 있는 가능성을 모색하고자, 입출력 일체화 개체인 'I/O 셀(Cell)'과 그 집합체인 '텐저블 게임 콘솔(Tangible Game Console)'을 개발하였다. I/O 셀은 여러 종류의 센서와 액츄에이터가 하나의 물리적 노드 내에 통합되어 있는 개체로, 이 I/O 셀 다수를 집적하면 다양한 크기와 용도의 엔터테인먼트 미디어를 구성하는 것이 가능하다. 그 중 하나로 개발된 텐저블 게임 콘솔은 일종의 센서-액츄에이터 집합체로 셀들 사이의 연계를 통해 다양한 물리적 정보를 인식하고 표현할 수 있다. 텐저블 게임 콘솔은 기존 게임 콘텐츠의 주요한 표현 수단이었던 이미지와 텍스트 정보 대신에 물리적 정보를 통해 게임 콘텐츠를 구성하며, 조작대상과 조작수단이 일체화되어 있고, 또한 음악, 퍼즐, 액션 등 다양한 장르의 게임 콘텐츠가 적용 가능하다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 텐저블 게임 콘솔에서는 불, 바람, 물, 생명체 등의 물리적 현상을 형상/움직임/소리/빛 등을 통해 재현하며, 사용자는 이를 때리기/바람불기/흔들기/기울이기 등의 직접적인 조작을 통해 체험할 수 있다. 또한 물리적인 상호작용 과정이 일정한 게임 규칙을 가지고 구성되어 있어 지속성 있는 놀이 경험을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 텐저블 게임 콘솔의 콘텐츠로 음악, 액션, 대전게임 등을 개발하였으며, 이 콘텐츠들의 놀이경험을 평가함으로써, 텐저블 게임 콘솔의 발전 가능성을 확인하였다.

The TUI system Modeling Language(TML) developed in this research can be used for designing TUI system with concerning about TUI's characters. For design to be concerned about physical property of tangibles and control device and digital media, TML can be a framework to give a definition of each property and be used for designing action and reaction process separately. And it would be the guideline to represent interaction's dynamic property through showing parallel information flows among objects. Finally, for verification TML's suitability, TUI system to which TML was applied was developed.

In the conventional desktop PC environment, keyboard and mouse are used to process the user input and monitor displays the visual information as an output device. In order to manipulate the digital information, we move the virtual cursor to select the desired graphical icon on the monitor The cursor represents the relative motion of the physical mouse on the desk. This desktop metaphor does not provide intuitive interface through human sensation. In this paper, we introduce a novel tangible interface which allows the user to interact with computers using a physical tool called "Smartpuck". SmartPuck system bridges the gap between analog perception and response in human being and digital information on the computer. The system consists of table display based on a PDP, SmartPuck equipped with rotational part and button for the user's intuitive and tactile input, and a sensing system to track the position of SmartPuck. Finally, we will show examples working with the system.
