Recent advanced technologies enable multiple users to share the virtual environment and work together as they are collocated. Additional sensory information such as haptic could improve the cooperation. In this paper, we propose a server-client architecture with multi-rate haptic control to support a tangible cooperation. Using our approach, the system is able to maintain a consistent simulation state across multiple users as well as to provide a highfidelity stable haptic interaction. To verify our approach, we have developed an experimental application and tested the cooperation among multiple users. The results confirm that our system is able to provide coherency among clients as well as haptic transparency.

최근 소셜 미디어(Social Media)라는 말은 컴퓨터 관련 연구분야에 종사하는 사람들 뿐만 아니라 일반 사람들도 모르는 사람이 없을만큼 중요하고, 많이 쓰이는 말이다. 본 연구에서는 인터넷과 통신기기의 발달로 이러한 소셜 미디어들이 사용자들이 감당할 수 없을 만큼 생성되지만 이러한 소셜 미디어를 어떻게 사용하고 효율적으로 묶어서 표현해야 하는지에 관한 연구이다. 소셜미디어의 종류에는 블로그, 소셜 네트워킹 서비스(SNS), 위키, UCC, 마이크로 블로그 등으로 나누어진다. 본 연구에서는 Social Media를 기반으로 Tangible Blog를 위한 콘텐츠를 저작하는 시스템에 관한 연구를 진행한다. 여기서 소셜미디어는 일반적으로 사용되는 사진, 동영상, 효과음, 텍스트에 3D Contents를 추가는 것을 목표로 한다. 3D Contents는 현재 게임분야에 많이 사용되고 있는 Kinect를 이용하여 생성하고 이러한 소셜 미디어들을 Web 환경에서 Authoring 하는 방법에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 최종적으로는 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 Blog의 형태에서 발전한 Tangible Blog를 만드는 것이 목표이다. 여기서 Tangible Blog는 기존의 텍스트, 음악, 동영상 등의 소스를 이용한 사용자의 일상생활 및 의견 표현을 넘어선 3D Contents의 활용, 스토리텔링 기법 활용 및 Sensory Effect를 활용한 실감 있는 블로그를 만드는 것을 목표로 한다.

Currently on the school education site, various multimedia contents are used to effectively deliver knowledge to the students and increase interest in class. The majority of the multimedia contents currently used in classes are composed of visual and auditory information. This paper intends to maximize actuality and immersion in the content by adding olfactory information to the existing visual and auditory data. Tangible contents were developed based on the details of aromatic plants learned in the fifth grade of elementary school. The shape and explanation of the aromatic plants are displayed with visual and auditory information, and an aroma spraying application is used to allow the students to smell the aromatic plants. After conducting the class using the developed contents, the students' satisfaction of the class, as well as their overall academic understanding, were investigated. Upon doing so, it was discovered that the students' academic understanding and satisfaction increased in comparison to classes comprised of only visual and auditory contents.

It is well known that in the knowledge-based economy a firm's intellectual property including patent is crucial for its competitive advantage. In industrial economy, tangible assets such as land and equipment have been of critical importance for a firm's competitiveness. However, as the paradigm shift to the knowledge-base economy is being accelerated, intangible assets such as intellectual property are considered to be more influential for a firm to be competitive. The valuation of intangible asset is as necessary as that of tangible asset. In particular, reasonably accurate valuation of patent which represents a firm's technological competitiveness seems to be of great importance since (1) it is essential for a firm's patent strategy development, (2) it can activate the technology market, and (3) it is necessary to evaluate a patent's technological contribution when multiple patents are used to develop and commercialize an innovative product. Unlike that of tangible asset, the valuation of intangible asset is very difficult. In order to figure out a value of patent it is necessary to use a number of appropriate valuation factors. In this paper, we surveyed various valuation factors presented by previous researches and several technology valuation organizations to find a set of common valuation factors considered to be of more importance.

In this research, a new tabletop system is developed to provide a high resolution display by using multiple displays and computers connected through networks, based on a master/slave architecture. This distributed tabletop system is built to be scalable by just adding slave computers and monitors without modifying any software. Moreover, a EBITA (Environment for Building Interactive Tangible Applications) framework is developed to support constructing interactive games running on this scalable tabletop platforms. EBITA framework consists of the tangible interface module based on the infrared camera tracking system, and the modules that allow easy development of the graphical programs on a distributed environment. This paper describes the tangible interface based on the camera tracking system and EBITA framework. It also introduces a game built with the EBITA framework.

The paper examines the antecedents of acceptance of social networking sites in retail franchise and restaurant businesses. The success of retail franchise and restaurant business operators via social networking sites depends not only on organizational benefits but also on their behavioral intentions of using it. Three hundred and twenty four samples collected from South Korean retail franchise and restaurant employees are analyzed using factor analysis, structural equation model techniques and one-way analysis of variance. The results of the study identify the three constructs of organizational benefits, perceived tangible assets and perceived intangible assets as for important antecedents to accept social networking sites for their business use. Moreover, higher position employees tend to have more favorable perception of tangible assets and acceptance of social networking sites for their business use.

최근 뉴미디어 제품 디자인을 위한 텐저블 인터페이스(Tangible Interface)에 대한 연구 개발이 국내외에서 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이는 미래 미디어에 있어서 텐저블 인터페이스가 매우 중요해진다는 점을 시사한다. 현재 텐저블 인터페이스의 연구는 아직 초기단계이며 기술에 대한 의미, 컨셉트, 방향 등이 점점 구체화 되어가고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 실감공간기술(Tangible Space Initiative)이 다양한 방향으로 개발될 수 있는 잠재가능성을 가지고 있다고 보고 현실의 사회상과 다양한 미래기술을 반영할 수 있는 SF영화에서 많은 아이디어를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 생각했다. 이에 본 연구는 영화에 나타난 실감공간기술과 유사한 디지털 인터페이스를 적용된 감각, 전달된 정보의 종류, 세부 기술, 실감공간기술의 세가지 기본 컨셉트(사람과 사물의 상호작용, 사람과 사람의 상호작용, 사람과 정보 사이의 상호작용), 그리고 미디어 이용 동기 등을 기준으로 분석하고 유형화 해 보고자 한다.

We introduce an introductory engineering education course for engineering majors and non-engineering majors. This course does not require any previous knowledge and experience on engineering. It requires strong curiosities and imaginations on current and future society we live in, where technology is inseparable ingredient. Course encourages attendees to explore fundamental issues of engineering: what is proper technology and what are proper ways of exercising engineering, issues dealt in soft engineering. Since course topics cover many aspects of technology, traditional learning methods fail to be successful and efficient. Various efficient learning methods have been proposed and implemented. We utilize various interactive tangible media, which include simulated thought experiments and physical media experiences. About 20 episodes in short film format are produced based on scenario written according to related issues selected. Physical media like interactive robots are introduced for attendees' stimulated experiences. We summarize our exciting experiments on interactive teaching experiences at Pusan National University which include on/off-line interactions, assignments, projects, and evaluations.

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.
