최근 들어 컴퓨터 환경의 비약적인 발전에 따라 디자인 과정도 크게 변화하고 있다. 자동차나 지게차 등과 같은 운송기기의 디자인이나, 작업장의 디자인의 경우 초기 디자인 과정중에서 레이아웃을 결정하고 인체 공학적인 데이터를 추출함에 있어서 설문이나 2D의 라인드로잉에 의존해 오고 있다. 이러한 방법의 문제점은 신뢰성이 많이 떨어질 뿐만 아니라 2D 마네킨을 사용하므로써 실제 사각으로 움직이는 인간 몸체의 움직임이 고려되지 못하며, 움직임 범위가 확정된다 하더라도 그 범위내에서의 움직임에 대한 인체의 피로도나 안락도 정도에 관해서는 전혀 측정할 수가 없었다. 컴퓨터 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 비약적인 발전은 일반 생활환경 뿐 아니라 디자인환경에서도 가상환경 (Virtual Environment) 이라는 큰 흐름을 가져 왔다. 특히 기존의 컴퓨터를 응용한 디자인에서는 Visualization이나, CAD&CAM을 통한 데이터의 교환이 주된 관심사였으나, 최근 들어 빠르게 소개되고 있는 가상환경에서는 디자인초기단계에서 디자인 레이아웃 결정 뿐 아니라 사용자가 느끼게 되는 미세한 감각까지도 데이터화할 수 있게되었다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 디자인에서 사용할 수 있는 가상환경의 일반적인 특성를 밝히고, 초기 디자인 과정에서 디지털화된 환경의 이용가능성을 모색하였다. 이러한 연구는 실제 지게차 디자인의 사례를 통하여 살펴보았으며 이 사례연구를 통하여 디자이너가 활용할 수 있는 가능성과 문제점이 무엇인지 밝혔다. 마지막으로 3차원 가상인간의 적용을 통해 초기 디자인 단계에서 새롭게 적용될 수 있는 디지털화 디자인 작업의 잇점에 대하여 논의 하였다.

Intelligent Space is a space where many sensors and intelligent devices are distributed. Mobile robots exist in this space as physical agents, which provide human with services. To realize this, human and mobile robots have to approach each other as much as possible. Moreover, it is necessary for them to perform interactions naturally. It is desirable for a mobile robot to carry out human affinitive movement. In this research, a mobile robot is controlled by the Intelligent Space through its resources. The mobile robot is controlled to follow walking human as stably and precisely as possible. In order to follow a human, control law is derived from the assumption that a human and a mobile robot are connected with a virtual spring model. Input velocity to a mobile robot is generated on the basis of the elastic force from the virtual spring in this model. And its performance is verified by the computer simulation and the experiment.

The ultimate success of commercial applications of body scan data in the apparel industry will be consumers' substantial applications such as automated custom fit, size prediction, virtual try-on, personal shopper services (Loker, S. et al., 2004). In this study, we surveyed fifty consumers and forty-seven apparel industry workers about their recognition and interest in 3D body scanning and virtual try-on. The results are as follows: 55% of the apparel industry workers has recognized 3D body scanning as a convenient technology, but do not know how to use it. To the questions regarding virtual try-on, 53% of the workers give positive answers. The consumers have a more positive view on virtual try-on than the workers do. The workers predict that the application of 3D body scan technology to the apparel industry could offer customers helpful information in their clothing selection by using virtual images of various size and style, and increase mass production of MTM(Made-To-Measure). The answers from the male consumers in their twenties indicate that virtual try-on is useful by 88% on offline shopping and by 100% on online shopping. 53% of the workers and 68% of the consumers gave answers that just by virtual try-on they could judge the quality of the apparel products and purchase them. Absolutely 3D virtual try-on is an effective tool for online shoppers. 85% of the workers anticipate applications of the 3D body scanning also in 'body measurement', 'custom pattern development' as well as 'virtual try-on' in the near future. With the positive reactions and the stimulating interests in virtual try-on, the conditions of contemporary world encourage more active researches and wide usages of the technology in apparel industry.

Classification models for human action recognition require robust features and large training sets for good generalization. However, data augmentation methods are employed for imbalanced training sets to achieve higher accuracy. These samples generated using data augmentation only reflect existing samples within the training set, their feature representations are less diverse and hence, contribute to less precise classification. This paper presents new data augmentation and action representation approaches to grow training sets. The proposed approach is based on two fundamental concepts: virtual video generation for augmentation and representation of the action videos through robust features. Virtual videos are generated from the motion history templates of action videos, which are convolved using a convolutional neural network, to generate deep features. Furthermore, by observing an objective function of the genetic algorithm, the spatiotemporal features of different samples are combined, to generate the representations of the virtual videos and then classified through an extreme learning machine classifier on MuHAVi-Uncut, iXMAS, and IAVID-1 datasets.

본 연구의 목적은 가상환경 내의 가상 군인이 다른 가상군인 혹은 시뮬레이션에 참가한 실제 군인과 원활한 의사소통을 하기 위해, 제한된 인지에 기초한 지도제작 (Limited-Perception Mapping) 모듈을 지형추론(Spatial Reasoning) 모듈, 경로 계획(Path Planning) 모듈, 및 인간 모션스타일 (Human Motion Style) 모듈들과 통합하는 통합 시뮬레이션 시스템(Integrated Simulation System)을 만드는 것이다. 가상 인간을 다루는 군사 시뮬레이션, 컴퓨터 게임과 같은 많은 연구들에서, 인간의 고유 특성인 제한된 인지 (예: 120 정도의 시야)가 무시돼왔거나 전지전능한 인지에 의해 제작되는 전역 지도를 사용함에 의해서 인지과정을 단순화해 왔다. 이들의 시스템에서는 Placement node가 사용됨으로써 가상환경 디자이너들은 가상환경을 제작할 때 노드들 간에 서로 도달할 수 있는 노드들과 필요 정보를 미리 저장해 두는 기법을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 본 연구의 통합 시뮬레이션 시스템은 노동집약적이고 다이내믹한 상황에서는 많은 제한사항이 존재하는 전지전능한 기법에 의하지 않고 단지 인간과 같은 정도의 제한적 인지만을 갖고도 인간과 유사한 움직임을 성공적으로 달성할 수 있음을 보여 주고 있다.

The functional behavior of a consumer electronic product is nearly all expressed with human-machine interaction (HMI) tasks. Although physical prototyping and computer aided design (CAD) software can show the appearance of the product, they cannot properly reflect its functional behavior. In this paper, we propose an approach to virtual prototyping (VP) that incorporates HMI functional simulation into virtual reality techniques in order to enables users to capture not only the realistic look of a consumer electronic product but also its functional behavior. We adopt state transition methodology to capture the HMI functional behavior of the product into a state transition chart, which is later used to construct a finite state machine (FSM) for the functional simulation of the product. The FSM plays an important role to control the transition between states of the product. We have developed a VP system based on the proposed approach. The system receives input events such as mouse clicks on buttons and switches of the virtual prototype model, and it reacts to the events based on the FSM by activating associated activities. The system provides the realistic visualization of the product and the vivid simulation of its functional behavior using head-mounted displays (HMD) and stereo speakers. It can easily allow users to perform functional evaluation and usability testing. A case study about the virtual prototyping of an MP3 player is given to show the usefulness of the proposed approach.

Disaster robots have accepted tele-operation in order to share the intelligence of human operators and robot systems. Virtual wall is one of the tele-operation technology to support recognition of human operator. If the virtual wall can block the robot from dangers, the operator will feel comfortable and can concentrate on fundamental missions. In this paper, we proposes and compares three methods for virtual wall visualization in tele-operation using 3D reconstruction. First is a virtual wall visualized only with edges. A wall filled with transparent color is the second method. Finally, third method is a texture-mapped virtual wall. In the experiments, we discuss their merits and demerits in view of robot tele-operation.

Virtual reality is one of the key emerging technologies of the 21th century and it has been used in a variety of ways in the fields of architectural research. Virtual reality is presented as an ideal alternative for studying the interaction between space and humans because it provides a realistic spacial experience while allowing experimenters to control environmental variables at a low cost easily. It allowed us to deepen our knowledge of human spatial experience in the built environment. However, existing reviews do not include the following points: 1) previous review research has been focused on using virtual reality technology in construction and engineering, not spatial experience, 2) recently, some review researches started to study the interaction between space and humans in the built environment, however, they do not suggest specific concepts of spatial experience. The present review aims to examine the existing literature about measuring spatial experience using virtual reality in architectural design. The study conducted a systematic qualitative review that analyzes and synthesizes the evolving literature regarding design elements, methodology, and usability. The study concludes with an overall discussion and their potential for providing further directions for future research.

An experiment was designed to evaluate Fitts' law for the three-dimensional virtual pointing task and to compare the three input devices; Spaceball, Spacemouse, and 3D-Mouse. The result showed that Fitts law fitted poorly for the three-dimensional pointing tasks with relatively low coefficients of determinant. Three reasons, high degree-of-freedom, dynamic egocentric viewpoint change, and clutching problem were discussed to explain the poor fitness of Fitts' law. In terms of device comparison, the 3D-Mouse was superior to the other input devices. Also, the stereoscopic display significantly increased the performance. The results of this study can be used for the design of virtual control tasks and the selection of suitable input devices.

The stability and theoretical performance limits of the feedback controlled force reflecting haptic manipulator have been discussed. All the virtual environment which interact physically with the haptic system have its own stable performance limit. Three different realization of the interfaces have been compared using the driving point admittance. The haptic system which is separated from the human hand or finger is superior to its stable interaction provided that there is a means to apply a direct damping between the haptic manipulator and the human finger Electro-magnetic force is used for its digital implementation of the simple separated type haptic device. The stable limits of a virtual wall is calculated and experimental results show that there is performance limits in this implementation.
