In this paper, we propose an AR-based tangible interaction using a finger fixture for virtual evaluation of digital handheld products. To realize tangible interaction between a user and a product in a computer-vision based AR environment, we uses two types of tangible objects: a product-type object and a finger fixture. The product-type object is used to acquire the position and orientation of the product, and the finger fixture is used to recognize the position of a finger tip. The two objects are fabricated by RP technology and AR markers are attached to them. The finger fixture is designed to satisfy various requirements with an ultimate goal that the user holding the finger fixture in his or her index finger can create HMI events by touching specified regions (buttons or sliders) of the product-type object with the finger tip. By assessing the accuracy of the proposed interaction, we have found that it can be applied to a wide variety of digital handheld products whose button size is not less than 6 mm. After performing the design evaluation of several handheld products using the proposed AR-based tangible interaction, we received highly encouraging feedback from users since the proposed interaction is intuitive and tangible enough to provide a feeling like manipulating products with human hands.

본 연구는 HMD(Head Mounted Display), 적외선 카메라, 웹 카메라, 데이터 글러브, 그리고 생리신호 측정 센서를 이용한 증강현실 게임 플랫폼 설계를 목적으로 하고 있다. HMD 는 사용자의 머리의 움직임을 파악하고, 사용자에게 가상 물체를 디스플레이화면에 제공한다. 적외선 카메라는 HMD 하단에 부착하여 사용자의 시선을 추적한다. 웹 카메라는 HMD 상단에 부착하여 전방 영상을 취득 후, 현실영상을 HMD 디스플레이를 통하여 사용자에게 제공한다. 데이터 글러브는 사용자의 손동작을 파악한다. 자율신경계반응은 GSR(Galvanic Skin Response), PPG(PhotoPlethysmoGraphy), 그리고 SKT(SKin Temperature) 센서로 측정한다. 측정된 피부전기반응, 맥파, 그리고 피부온도는 실시간 데이터분석을 통하여 집중 정도를 파악하게 된다. 사용자의 머리 움직임, 시선, 그리고 손동작은 직관적 인터랙션에 사용되고, 집중 정도는 직관적 인터랙션과 결합하여 사용자의 의도파악에 사용된다. 따라서, 본 연구는 멀티모달 인터랙션을 이용하여 직관적 인터랙션 구현과 집중력 분석을 통하여 사용자의 의도를 파악할 수 있는 새로운 증강현실 게임 플랫폼을 설계하였다.

In this paper, 2 devices through the input image are projected onto the output video device to extract 3D information of real objects and they are located in virtual space. All 3D objects for each inter-object interaction information and location information makes the validation process by recognizing conflict. The proposed extract 3D information of real objects and collision handling inter-object interaction in the most basic issues in augmented reality, because more than anything is a matter to be prescriptive. Therefore, the proposed system to solve this problem exists in virtual space, all objects of the user by validating the conflict between realism and immersion to show that aims to increase.

We propose a real-time tracking algorithm for an augmented reality (AR) system for TV broadcasting. The tracking is initialized by detecting the object with the SURF algorithm. A multi-scale approach is used for the stable real-time camera tracking. Normalized cross correlation (NCC) is used to find the patch correspondences, to cope with the unknown and changing lighting condition. Since a zooming camera is used, the focal length should be estimated online. Experimental results show that the focal length of the camera is properly estimated with the proposed online calibration procedure.

최근 건설프로젝트가 대형화 복잡화됨에 따라 건설산업의 안전사고 재해자수는 매년 증가추세를 보이고 있다. 각 건설사에서 개발되어 활용하고 있는 건설안전관리시스템의 형식적인 운용과 참여자들에게 시각적인 자료 제공의 미비로 이해도가 떨어지는 시스템을 사용하고 있는 것이 주요 원인으로 분석된다. 따라서 최근 부각되어지는 증강현실시스템(Augmented Reality, AR)을 이용하여 실제 현장과 동일한 환경에서 시각화된 3D시뮬레이션을 통하여 사용자 이해도와 현장감을 높일 수 있는 시스템 개발이 요구되어진다. 본 연구에서는 건설안전관리 시스템의 효율적인 의사소통 지원이 가능하도록 개선된시각화 기술을 적용하여 "증강현실 기반 안전관리시스템"의 인터페이스 구성을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 건설안전관리의 이론적 고찰과 시스템을 분석하고, 시각화 개선을 위한 증강현실시스템을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 도출된 시각화 화면 구성요소를 조합하여 "증강현실기반 안전관리시스템의 안전대책 시뮬레이션 VIEW"를 제안하였다.

This study focused on IKEA Place in IKEA and Amazon AR View in Amazon to study the differences between AR shopping applications. The first literature study examined the status and prospects of the AR market and conducted a case study on AR shopping applications. In the second phase, 'Honeycomb Model' of Peter mobile was reorganized into six usability principles, focusing on the major functions of AR shopping mall application, to conduct surveys and in-depth interviews based on the task. Based on this study, it is expected to help increase AR-based application user experience, concentrating on the actual experience of the user and finding out the major experience factors.

This study is a review on the educational methodologies of junior colleges for nurturing health and medical administration experts. As non-face-to-face classes increase due to the pandemic and various online classes are being conducted, the rejection of virtual education is decreasing. The concept of 'metaverse', first used in 1992, is changing from metaverse 1.0 to metaverse 2.0 as of 2021. Metaverse is judged to be able to positively derive the educational effect of online education through four methodologies: VR(Virtual Reality), AR(Augmented Reality), Life Logging, and Mirror World. This study aims to design an education platform that realizes professional education that transcends time and space by establishing the same university in the form of a mirror world or virtual reality in the virtual reality metaverse, and opening a department of health and medical administration. In addition, It is researchwhen metaverse virtual universities and virtual departments are created for each university, students can cross-take courses offered by each university and purchase or share open courses to take new educational topics for common subjects.

Augmented Reality (AR) enables the enhanced realism and interaction by providing the overlaid digital information on the user's view of the physical world. In this paper, we propose an AR-based ship design visualization system for presenting ship 3D model in smart phones or table PCs. The proposed system compute corner points and feature points by contour finding method and harris corner detector, and build a ship-design drawing database. By using SURF algorithm, key feature points are extracted from ship-design drawing image which is obtained by mobile camera. Then ship-design drawing image is recognized by matching the feature points stored in DB and extracted key feature points. 3D ship structures are visualized by overlaying the ship-design drawing image on the smart phone or table PC's screen. Compared to conventional 2D ship-design, proposed system helps to easily understand the structures of the ship and reduce the business design period. Thus, Enhanced competitiveness of business is expected.

Recently, Augmented Reality(AR) technologies have been emerged, which shows the types of digital contents integrating real and virtual worlds. To maximize the effect of AR technology, tangible user interface, which enables users to interact with the contents in the same way in which they manipulate objects in real world, is applied. In particular, we expect that the technologies are able to enhance learners' interests and degree of immersion, and produce new learning contents in order to maximize the effect of learning. In this paper, we propose a learning system for scientific experiments with multi-touch screen and tangible user interface. The system consists of an experiment table equipped with a large multi-touch screen and a realistic learning device that can detect the user's simple gestures. In real world, some scientific experiments involve high cost, long time or dangerous objects, but this system will overcome such hindrance and provide learners with a variety of experiment experience in realistic ways.

In this paper, we propose an AR system which enables monitoring and managing of the operation process of the construction site. In case of the conventional construction managing system, a worker takes several images of the construction site and sends them directly to the supervisory headquarter, which manages the progress of the construction process and checks weather the construction is achieved according to the architectural design or not. Due to the nature of the offline process, the conventional management system has time and monetary constraints, and there exists a disadvantage that it is impossible to make quick decision-making and real-time communication with the work site. In order to minimize these disadvantages, we proposes an AR real-time construction monitoring/management system. In particular, we aim to developed a system based on mobile device so that it can maximize usability. The efficiency of the proposed system is verified through several experiments and implementation results.
