  • In this study, we propose the application of exhibition contents using virtual environment technology in exhibition space. Research on the virtual environment is continuing. Particularly, research on virtual reality technology is one of the most active research fields. As researches and developments of augmented reality technologies have been carried out with the spread of smart phones, researches on virtual reality technologies have also made a lot of progress with emphasis on games and interactivity. Especially, development of hardware, software, and content is accelerating this year, including the development of various types of physical reality devices, especially HMD (Head Mounted Device) equipment and new product announcements. We want to study and apply the environment in which the system based on this virtual reality technology can approach and experience more user friendly in the exhibition space.

  • Human dance is difficult to learn since there is no effective way to imitate an expert's motion, a sequence of complicated body movements, without taking an actual class. In this paper, we propose a dance learning system using human depth information. In the proposed system, a set of example motions are captured from various expert dancers through a marker-free motion capture and archived into a motion database server for online dance lessons. Given the end-user devices such as tablet and kiosk PCs, a student can learn a desired motion selected from the database and send one's own motion to an instructor for online feedback. During this learning process, our system provides a posture-based motion search and multi-mode views to support the efficient exchange of motion data between the student and instructor under a networked environment. The experimental results demonstrate that our system is capable to improve the student's dance skills over a given period of time.

  • Emotion plays a key role in both generating and understanding narrative. In this article we analyzed the emotions represented in a movie script based on 8 emotion types from the wheel of emotions by Plutchik. First we conducted manual emotion tagging scene by scene. The most dominant emotions by manual tagging were anger, fear, and surprise. It makes sense when the film script we analyzed is a thriller-genre. We assumed that the emotions around the climax of the story would be heightened as the tension grew up. From manual tagging we could identify three such duration when the tension is high. Next we analyzed the emotions in the same script using Python-based NLTK VADERSentiment tool. The result showed that the emotions of anger and fear were most matched. The emotion of surprise, anticipation, and disgust, however, scored lower matching.

  • Given social problems of technology addiction such as games and mobile messenger services (MMSs), it have become important to understand theoretical mechanisms to generate technology addiction. In this vein, this study examined key antecedents of technology addiction in the MMS environment. We posit technology habit and user satisfaction as key predictors of technology addiction. In addition, the impacts of social interaction and flow on use's technology addition formation were investigated The research framework was tested by using survey data collected from 278 Kakaotalk users who have used more than 6 months. The analysis results found that both technology habit and user satisfaction play an important role in generating technology addiction in the MMS context. The findings of this study indicate that social interaction and flow significantly affects technology habit and user satisfaction. The analysis results help government and MMS providers establish policies or strategies to induce healthy MMS use.
