In this paper, we propose a new framework to control VR(Virtual reality) contents in real time using user's mouth-wind and acceleration sensor of mobile device. In VR, user interaction technology is important, but various user interface methods is still lacking. Most of the interaction technologies are hand touch screen touch or motion recognition. We propose a new interface technology that can interact with VR contents in real time using user's mouth-wind method with acceleration sensor. The direction of the mouth-wind is determined using the angle and position between the user and the mobile device, and the control position is adjusted using the acceleration sensor of the mobile device. Noise included in the size of the mouth wind is refined using a simple average filter. In order to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed technology, we show the result of interacting with contents in game and simulation in real time by applying control position and mouth-wind external force to the game.

Gaze detection is to find out the position on a monitor screen where a user is looking at, using the image processing and computer vision technology, We developed a computer interface system using the gaze detection technology, This system enables a user to control the computer system without using their hands. So this system will help the handicapped to use a computer and is also useful for the man whose hands are busy doing another job, especially in tasks in factory. For the practical use, command signal like mouse clicking is necessary and we used eye winking to give this command signal to the system.

The objective of the study is to investigate the influence of aesthetic attributes on user interface design. Theories of aesthetics are first studied from which aesthetic attributes are defined as information sources. Representation of a product is viewed as a combination of aesthetic attributes, based on a hypothesis that each attribute has a certain influence on the performance in terms of user interface. An experiment was conducted to support the hypothesis. Various combinations of aesthetic attributes of a microwave oven were generated from the orthogonal array of a conjoint analysis. Subjects perfomed on a computer two types of tasks, each of which simulated a combination of attributes. Reaction time was evaluated as a performance measure for the conjoint analysis to find out how much influence each attribute has on the performance. A computer program, UISA(User interface Simulation system of Aesthetic attributes0, was developed and used for simulation. Findings on the influences of aesthetic attributes were summarized.

As international market pressures increase, product life cycles are becoming shorter at same time requirements for productivity and flexibility are becoming higher. Major improvement in robot programming user interface is central to increasing productivity and flexibility for automatic manufacturing environments. New computer technologies have the potential to accomplish this improvement. In this study we have developed a system which proves that interactive computer graphics and geometric modeling have matured to the point where their artful application into an integrated system can rsult in radically new and powerful user interface for robot programming. With the graphic user interface environment the system efficiently utilizes the existing CAD data and gemetric modeling techniques for off-line programming and simulations. Also the system successfully generates robot control programs performing the desired tasks given through off-line programming.

There is currently a focus on usability of interactive computer software. Previous research in software ergonomics has indicated the importance of evaluating the usability of software user interfaces. Software developers, interface designers or human foctors engineers often confront the task of comparative evaluation among systems, versions or interface designs. This study presents a structured model for comparative evaluation of user interface designs using usability criteria and measures. The proposed model consists of twomain phases : the prescreening phase ad the evaluation phase. The first phase involves expert judgment-based approach with qualitative criteria. The prescreening phase uses absolute measurement analytic hierarchy process to filter possible altermative interfaces to a reasonable subset. The second phase involves user-based approach such as usability testing, with quantitative criteria. The objective of the evaluation phase is to evaluate a subset of altermatives using objective measures. A set of criteria and measures for evaluating the usability of computer software designs is presented. The proposed model provides practitioners with a structured approach to select the best interface based on usability criteria and measures.

NUI(Natural User Interface) allows users to directly interact with surrounding digital devices using their voices or body motions without additional input/output interface devices. Our study has been carried out on human users who play a tangible game with body motions in the NUI-applied smart space. ECG was measured for 60 seconds duration before and after playing the game to determine user stress levels, and the measured signals were analyzed through an improved Random Forest algorithm. In order to experiment by a supervised learning, users additionally input whether or not the user felt stress. Moreover, the improved algorithm showed 1.04% higher accuracy than existing algorithm.

In the digital media era, coded and non-coded communication are used to convey the message. As the computer interface has been adopted human communication methods, non-coded communication has bee used in the computer interface as well. The changes of message structure in the computer interface have an effect on shifting the way of user's message acceptance from passive to active. The recently developed computer user interfaces are for user to experience diverse visual effect The communication conveyed with this visual effects could be vague but user can conceive strong impact. This experience is understood not only through the visual experience from a monitor screen but also with a sense of tactile. The meaning of sensual and spectacle motion image could be ambiguous. However in the experience of using an interface, it plentifully expands the human sense by giving a visual experience on a whim. The sensually extemporaneous and splendid visual effect that has vague meaning has been very common happening in digital media environment.

This paper introduces a user interface for large 3D meshes in mobile systems, which have limited memory, screen size and battery power. A large 3D mesh is divided into partitions and simplified in multi-resolutions so a large file is transformed into a number of small data files and saved in a PC server. Only selected small files specified by the user are hierarchically transmitted to the mobile system for 3D browsing and rendering. A 3D preview in a pop-up shows a simplified mesh in the lowest resolution. The next step displays simplified meshes whose resolutions are automatically controlled by the user interactions. The last step is to render a set of detailed original partitions in a selected range. As a result, while minimizing using mobile system resources, our interface enables us to browse and display 3D meshes in mobile systems through real-time interactions. A mobile 3D viewer and a 3D app are also presented to show the utility of the proposed user interface.

This study was conducted to develop user interface design guidelines for those who design education software products (web sites or CD-ROM titles). To establish this guideline scheme, international standards, commercial design guidelines, and research papers were surveyed. Especially, ISO 9241 was referred as a basic model of a guideline scheme. First, the research group developed draft guidelines. After that, education software developers, designers, and a user group reviewed the draft and the draft was revised with their commentations. Five components were selected as a primary class of guideline scheme: general principle, dialogue design, user guidance, visual interface, and information presentation. Each component was divided several components as a secondary class. Finally, 45 items were selected as user interface design guidelines for the education software design.

This paper presents a user interface for vision based indirect teaching of a robotic manipulator with Kinect and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensors. The user interface system is designed to control the manipulator more easily in joint space, Cartesian space and tool frame. We use the skeleton data of the user from Kinect and Wrist-mounted IMU sensors to calculate the user's joint angles and wrist movement for robot control. The interface system proposed in this paper allows the user to teach the manipulator without a pre-programming process. This will improve the teaching time of the robot and eventually enable increased productivity. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the robot control and interface system.
