Hand posture recognition is an important technique to enable a natural and familiar interface in HCI(human computer interaction) field. In this paper, we introduce a hand posture recognition method by using a depth camera. Moreover, the hand posture recognition method is incorporated with MPEG-U based advanced user interaction (AUI) interface system, which can provide a natural interface with a variety of devices. The proposed method initially detects positions and lengths of all fingers opened and then it recognizes hand posture from pose of one or two hands and the number of fingers folded when user takes a gesture representing a pattern of AUI data format specified in the MPEG-U part 2. The AUI interface system represents user's hand posture as compliant MPEG-U schema structure. Experimental results show performance of the hand posture recognition and it is verified that the AUI interface system is compatible with the MPEG-U standard.

Tangible user interfaces have been developed in the area of Human-Computer Interaction for the last decades, however, the applied domains recently have been extended into the product design and interactive art. Tangible User Interfaces are the combination of digital information and physical objects or environments, thus they provide tangible and intuitive interaction as input and output devices, often combined with Augmented Reality. The research developed a design guideline for tangible user interfaces based on key properties of tangible user interfaces defined previously in five representative research: Tangible Interaction, Intuitiveness and Convenience, Expressive Representation, Context-aware and Spatial Interaction, and Social Interaction. Using the guideline emphasizing user interaction, this research evaluated installation in a science museum in terms of the applied characteristics of tangible user interfaces. The selected 15 installations which were evaluated are to educate visitors for science by emphasizing manipulation and experience of interfaces in those installations. According to the input devices, they are categorized into four Types. TUI properties in Type 3 installation, which uses body motions for interaction, shows the highest score, where items for context-aware and spatial interaction were highly rated. The context-aware and spatial interaction have been recently emphasized as extended properties of tangible user interfaces. The major type of installation in the science museum is equipped with buttons and joysticks for physical manipulation, thus multimodal interfaces utilizing visual, aural, tactile senses etc need to be developed to provide more innovative interaction. Further, more installation need to be reconfigurable for embodied interaction between users and the interactive space. The proposed design guideline can specify the characteristics of tangible user interfaces, thus this research can be a basis for the development and application of installation involving more TUI properties in future.

This paper describes interactive dynamic simulation schemes for articulated bodies in virtual environments, where user interaction is allowed through a haptic interface. We incorporated these schemes into our dynamic simulator I-GMS, which was developed in an object-oriented framework for simulating motions of free bodies and complex linkages, such as those needed for robotic systems or human body simulation. User interaction is achieved by performing push and pull operations with the PHANToM haptic device, which runs as an integrated part of I-GMS. We use both forward and inverse dynamics of articulated bodies for the haptic interaction by the push and pull operations, respectively. We demonstrate the user-interaction capability of I-GMS through on-line editing of trajectories for 6-dof (degrees of freedom) articulated bodies.

If a virtual object in a virtual environment represented by a stereo vision system could be touched by a user with some tactile feeling on his/her fingertip, the sense of reality would be heightened. To create a visual impression as if the user were directly pointing to a desired point on a virtual object with his/her own finger, we need to align virtual space coordinates and physical space coordinates. Also, if there is no tactile feeling when the user touches a virtual object, the virtual object would seem to be a ghost. Therefore, a haptic interface device is required to give some tactile sensation to the user. We have constructed such a human-computer interaction system in the form of a simple virtual reality game using a stereo vision system, a vibro-tactile device module, and two position/orientation sensors.

In this paper, we discuss the user-customized interaction for intelligent home environments. The interactive system is based upon the integrated techniques using both speech and face recognition. For essential modules, the speech recognition and synthesis were basically used for a virtual interaction between user and proposed system. In experiments, particularly, the real-time speech recognizer based on the HM-Net(Hidden Markov Network) was incorporated into the integrated system. Besides, the face identification was adopted to customize home environments for a specific user. In evaluation, the results showed that the proposed system was easy to use for intelligent home environments, even though the performance of the speech recognizer did not show a satisfactory results owing to the noisy environments.

빠른 인터넷의 보급과 빈번하게 발생하는 원격지 구성원간의 협업으로 인해서 쉽고 편리하게 이용 가능한 다자간 협업 환경의 필요성이 대두되었으며 현재 이와 관련한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 원격 협업을 지원하기 위한 구성 기술로는 먼저 지능형 원격협업을 지원할 수 있는 시스템 및 네트워킹 구조를 설계하는 기술, 다양한 종류의 입력 채널의 내용을 동시에 보여줄 수 있는 디스플레이를 제공하는 기술, 협업 구성원 간의 자연스러운 데이터 및 태스크 마이그레이션 기반 기술, 그리고 다양한 사용자 인터랙션을 제공하는 기술 등이 있다. 그러나 무엇보다도 사용자 편의성 면에서는 위치적인 이질감을 극복하고 현장감 있는 공동 작업을 지원할 수 있는 사용자 인터랙션 기술이 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 인터랙션을 지원하기 위한 다양한 인터랙션 기술을 소개하며 사용자의 인터랙션이 발생했을 경우 사용자의 의도에 따라 변경된 협업 환경, 특히 공통 디스플레이 화면의 변경 정보를 사용자 컨트롤 머신에도 Graphic User Interface(GUI) 기술을 통해 제공하는 방안이 논의되어 진다.

In this paper, the methods of designing and implementing user interaction using jQuery in Web Application are suggested. While computing ability of smart devices grows up, web application technology is generalized. So JavaScript is one of noticeable web application technologies, and jQuery is the most popular JavaScript framework. We described basic grammar, scalability and plug-ins of jQuery. We categorized user interactions and animations and described methods to implement it.

Through this study, some considerations to be taken into account in order to construct the user model for the user friendly system which can provide each individuals user armed with varied intellectual level with the relevant information, can be summarized as follows : (1) The user' ability to use the system and users' subject knowledge, the distribution of the users' level knowledge should be considered for the decision of the typed of interaction between the users and the system. (2) the knowledge of the user models should include the following kinds of knowledge inharmony with one another, 1. Standard user knowledge which represents a general characteristic of user group, 2. individual user knowledge which represents an individual's unique characteristic, 3. Long-term user knowledge which represents the education level and subject background of users, 4. short-term user knowledge which represents the purpose of information science and information need by users (3) As knowledge generation technique, both the implicit method and explicit method should be a n.0, pplied, observation of the system during the interaction, and explicit method generates the knowledge by the user's answering the questions already made by the system. (4) The frame technique as the knowledge representation for the user-modelling in which user-knowledge is represented in a limited situation and in a qualitative aspects, can be recommended. The frame is adequated for the explanation of structured situation, and for the processing the present situation by inferring the previous experiences.

폭발적인 편재성의 증가로 인해 테크날러지는 이제 인간에게 어디서든 접근 가능한 것이 되었음과 동시에, 모순적이게도 "보이지 않게" 되었다. 그러나, 이러한 모순적인 이중성은 필연적이며 테크날러지의 시대상을 바라보는 데에 더없이 유용하다. 어떻게 하면 이러한 테크날러지와 함께 살아갈 것인가\ulcorner (중략)
