Tangible Space Initiative (TSI) is a new framework that can provide a more natural and intuitive Human Computer Interface for users. This is composed of three cooperative components: a Tangible Interface, Responsive Cyber Space, and Tangible Agent. In this paper we present a Tangible Tele-Meeting system in TSI, which allows people to communicate with each other without any spatial limitation. In addition, we introduce a method for registering a Tangible Avatar with a Tangible Agent. The suggested method is based on relative pose estimation between the user and the Tangible Agent. Experimental results show that the user can experience an interaction environment that is more natural and intelligent than that provided by conventional tele-meeting systems.

Recent advancement in information technology requires new interpretations for the space among human, machines and environment. Investigation of space between information and human could lead to the proper ways, in which human and machines meet. Various concepts regarding space have been explored in terms of “virtual reality in cyberspace” and “embodiment in tangible space.” “Mom (embodiment),” space, virtuality, sensation/perception, and interactive technology are some of the key ideas to be explored. Human “Mom” is such a fundamental membrane through which human can interact with the environment physically and mentally. An embodied interaction paradigm, based on “Mom,” is investigated. This leads to interactive technology paradigm. Sound space is an invisible but a tangible space in a sense that it travels in emotional tremors and stimulates new sensations and perceptions. Three cases are introduced to experiment such tangible space as a new and proper interactive paradigm. Also, a historical model of interaction is reviewed, which includes electrical, symbolic, textual, graphical, tangible, and social interaction.

사물인터넷 기반의 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅, AR/ VR등 실감 컴퓨팅과 실제 물리 공간의 이음새 없는 하나의 인터랙션 공간을 Tangible Space라고 명하고자 한다. 이 공간에서는 물리 공간에 가상의 물체나 객체가 증강되고 몰입형 가상공간에 물리공간이 투영되고 증강된 형태로 인터랙션의 확장이 가능하다. 인터넷과 웹이 컴퓨팅 환경을 하나의 공유 인터랙션 공간으로 이어주면서 물리공간에서의 우리 삶 자체가 로깅되고 공유되는 시대에 살고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 새로운 인터랙션 공간을 기존 웹의 표현 기법과 응용 소프트웨어 개발 환경을 그대로 활용할 수 있는 Tangible Space의 웨바아징 방법론을 제안하고 개발 구현 사례를 소개하겠다. 앞으로 정보 중심의 웹에서 우리 경험을 지속적이고 연속적으로 담고 공유하는 웹으로 발전할 것으로 기대한다.

In this paper, we designed a embedded system that will perform a primary role of Tangible Space implementation. This hardware includes function of image capture through camera interface, image process and sending off image information by LAN(local area network) or WLAN(wireless local area network). We define this hardware as a network based Visual Agent Platform for Tangible Space, This Visual Agent Platform includes the software that is RTLinux and CORBA

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.

Tangible interface can be understood as a newly defined concept, which can provide an effective and seamless interaction between the human as a subjective existence and the cyberspace as an objective existence. Tactile sensation is essential for many exploration and manipulation tasks in the tangible space. In this paper, we suggest the design of an integrated tactile sensor-display system that provides both of sensing and feedback with kinesthetic force, pressure distribution, vibration and slip/stretch. A new tactile sensor with PDVF strips and display system with bimorph actuators has been developed and integrated by developed signal processing algorithm. In the scenario of haptic navigation in the tangible space, tactile feedback system is successfully experimented.

Tangible user interfaces have attracted strong attention in the HCI(Human and Computer Interface) community for their ability to take advantage of skills humans develop in the real world. We are developing "tangible media aided design system" which employs physical objects i.e., brick as interfacing media for 3D graphic modeling. This system is targeting for persons who are afraid of experiencing 3D graphic modeling and virtual space, or have a sense of reluctance in approaching to them. Our approach suggests the easiest way for people to experience computer system and virtual space carefree while developing and improving their space sense. This work is one of initial explorations of media aided design system using tangible user interfaces.
