  • In this report, we present a case in which good results were achieved by treatment using a free jejunal patch graft with virtual endoscopy (VE) assistance in a patient whose swallowing had failed to improve for 40 years after he mistakenly swallowed sulfuric acid, despite pectoralis major myocutaneous flap grafting and frequent balloon dilatation surgery. During the last 20 years, virtual computed tomography imaging has improved remarkably and continues to be used to address new challenges. For reconstructive surgeons, the greatest advantage of VE is that it is a noninvasive modality capable of visualizing areas inaccessible to a flexible endoscope. Using VE findings, we were able to visualize the 3-dimensional shape beyond the stenosis. VE can also help predict the area of the defect after contracture release.

  • Most of the car navigation systems pzrovide 2D or 3D virtual map-based driving guidance. One of the important issues is how to reduce cognitive burden to the driver who should interpret the abstracted information to real world driving information. Recently, an augmented reality (AR)-based navigation is considered as a new way to reduce cognitive workload by superimposing guidance information into the real world scene captured by the camera. In particular, head-up display (HUD) is popular to implement AR navigation. However, HUD is too expensive to be set up in most cars so that the HUD-based AR navigation is currently unrealistic for navigational assistance. Meanwhile, smartphones with advanced computing capability and various sensors are popularized and also provide navigational assistance. This paper presents a research on cognitive effect and responsiveness of an AR navigation by a comparative study with a conventional virtual map-based navigation on the same smartphone. This paper experimented both quantitative and qualitative studies to compare cognitive workload and responsiveness, respectively. The number of eye gazing at the navigation system is used to measure the cognitive effect. In addition, questionnaires are used for qualitative analysis of the responsiveness.

  • 본 논문은 가상현실 기반의 실감 콘텐츠를 활용하여 발달장애인 학생이 바리스타 직업훈련을 수행하는 과정에서 중재가 필요한 시점을 도출하기 위해, 가상현실 공간에 존재하는 각 바리스타 도구들과 학생의 손과의 거리 정보를 수집하고 분석하여 중재 시점의 판단을 위한 기준을 도출한다. 이를 위해, 한국장애인고용공단 발달장애인훈련센터에 등록된 학생 21명을 심사를 통해 연구대상자로 선정하였다. 다음으로, 바리스타 도구들을 인지하는 훈련을 실시하여 연구대상자가 더 이상의 진행을 하지 못하고 어려움을 겪는 상황이 발생하게 되면 연구원과 사전에 약속한대로 손을 들거나 구두로 중재를 요청하도록 하고 이 시점을 기록하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 이 데이터를 기반으로, 바리스타 훈련 콘텐츠로 발달장애인이 훈련을 수행하는 중에 중재가 필요한 시점을 판단하기 위한 기준을 도출하기 위해 손으로부터 각 바리스타 도구들까지의 거리 정보를 이용하여 두가지 가설을 수립하고 검증하였다. 검증 결과, 훈련을 성공한 학생의 손으로부터 관심 바리스타 도구 및 인접 도구들까지의 누적거리는 다른 바리스타 도구들까지의 누적거리보다 상대적으로 짧았고 통계적 분석의 결과는 유의미하였다.

  • In this paper, we present a virtual tourist system with realtime 3D visualization and the assistance of context information service. Our system enables a visitor to take a discovering tour on a virtual environment from a remote client by following navigator or by self-navigating. During the tour, the system provides immersive 3D graphics contents while supporting relevant information to the visitors corresponding to their positions in the virtual environment. When the visitors interact with interested objects, the context information service will also support introduction information for presenting about the objects. The introduction information based on text format is represented by a comfortable way-audio conversion to visitors in different languages depended on their preferences using TTS(Text-To-Speak) tool.

  • In this paper, we propose a hypervisor for embedded systems based on ARM microprocessor. The proposed hypervisor makes it possible to run several real-time kernels concurrently on a single embedded system by virtualizing its microprocessor. With assistance of MMU, it supports virtual memory which enables each guest operating system has its own address space. Exploiting the fact that most embedded systems use memory-mapped I/O device, it provides a mechanism to distribute an external interrupt to virtual machines properly. It also achieves load balancing through live migration which moves a running virtual machine to other embedded system. Unlike other para-virtualization techniques, minor modifications are needed to run it on the hypervisor. Extensive performance measurement studies are conducted to show that the proposed hypervisor has enough potentiality of its real-world application.

  • IT기술의 발전에 따른 각종 산업에서의 유비쿼터스 도입이 이루어지고 있다 특히 자동차 산업에서 유비쿼터스 환경 도입을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, BMW의 경우 유비쿼터스 환경 기반의 운전자지원시스템을 연구한바 있다. 조선산업에서 유비쿼터스 환경을 구축하고자 유비쿼터스 기반의 혼합현실을 제시한다. 혼합현실은 현실과 가상이 융합된 환경으로 현실에 기반을 두었을 때 증강현실이라고 하며, 이것은 현실세계에 가상의 물체를 오버랩하여 보여줌으로써 보다 현실감을 높여주는 기술이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해양구조물에서의 효과적인 검자 지원을 위하여 증강현실 기술을 활용하였으며 프로토 타입을 구축해 봄으로 그 활용 가능성을 판단해 보고자 한다.

  • The Haptic Exploration Laboratory at The Johns Hopkins University is currently exploring many problems related to haptics (force and tactile information) in human-machine systems. We divide our work into two main areas: virtual environments and robot-assisted manipulation systems. Our interest in virtual environments focuses on reality-based modeling, in which measurements of the static and dynamic properties of actual objects are taken in order to produce realistic virtual environments. Thus, we must develop methods for acquiring data from real objects and populating pre-defined models. We also seek to create systems that can provide active manipulation assistance to the operator through haptic, visual, and audio cues. These systems may be teleoperated systems, which allow human users to operate in environments that would normally be inaccessible due to hazards, distance, or scale. Alternatively, cooperative manipulation systems allow a user and a robot to share a tool, allowing the user to guide or override the robot directly if necessary. Haptics in human-machine systems can have many applications, such as undersea and space operations, training for pilots and surgeons, and manufacturing. We focus much of our work on medical applications.

  • A study on photovoltaic system has a lot of problems. Such as repetition experiment in the same condition, development of MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm, development of islanding detection algorithm and so forth. The reason Is that solar cell output characteristics are varied by insolarion and surface temperature of solar cell. Therefore, the assistance equipment is required which emulates the solar cell characteristics. In this paper, propose the new modeling of solar cell and verify this modeling using MATLAB simulation. And experiment virtual implement of solar cell system using this modeling.
