Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) drives a large variety of research, development, and new type of markets. All type of devices and sensors will be part of the Internet of Things and will be able to communicate not only plain data, but also audio-visual, olfactory, and haptic media data. In addition, as the devices and sensors getting smarter, it is highly probable that they can process acquired media and metadata to extract higher level of information (e.g., semantics). To support such enhanced functionalities, ISO/IEC SC29 WG11 (MPEG) starts a new standard project, ISO/IEC 23093, called Internet of Media Things (IoMT) to provide standard data formats and APIs for media things. This paper presents the standardization activities of IoMT focusing on explaining terms, standard scopes, and major media things with their use cases. One of the use cases, an IoT system for a blind pedestrian navigation assistance, is evaluated to prove its effectiveness.

In this paper, we introduce the appoaches that aim to improve user experience in mobile device by the use of multiple vibration signal feedback, conducted by Haptics and Virtual Reality laboratory at POSTECH. We introduce current progresses of our 'Vibrotactile flow using multiple vibration actuators' and 'Real-time dual-channel haptic music player.' The 'Vibrotactile flow using multiple vibration actuators' produces vibrotactile flow sensations by using multiple actuators and that improves the information transfer on mobile devices. The 'Real-time dual-channel haptic music player' generates vibrotactile sensation by transforming auditory signal, which improves the user experience of mobile devices. These approaches can be good examples to fulfill the demands of better information transfer capability and user experience on mobile devices.

본 연구에서는 손가락의 움직임을 입력받는 햅틱 컨트롤러를 이용하여 물체를 잡거나 놓는 손의 포즈를 생성하여 가상의 물체를 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 다섯 개의 손가락을 움직일 수 있는 경우의 수는 무수히 많아서 이를 위한 모든 모션을 캡쳐하는 것은 매우 힘든 작업이고, 캡쳐한 모든 모션을 수동으로 연결시키는 것도 어려운 일이다. 제안 방법은 햅틱 컨트롤러에서 입력된 다섯 개의 신호를 인공 신경망을 사용하여 손가락의 포즈로 변경해 준다. 이를 위해 입력 신호와 매칭되는 손의 포즈를 이용하여 인공 신경망을 훈련시킨 후, 그 결과를 이용하여 사용자의 입력에 대응하는 손의 포즈를 생성한다. 결과 포즈의 사실성을 높이기 위해 모션 캡쳐 장비로부터 훈련용 데이터를 생성하였다. 본 논문의 방법은 햅틱 컨트롤러에서 동일한 입력을 받더라도 물체의 모양에 대응하는 손의 모션을 생성하는 결과를 보여준다.

Digital technology in modern society is entering the era of digital convergence and ubiquitous computing, and is playing an important role to overcome the limitation of time and space. Based on new media method's rapid application development, a wide range of forms as digital design is made possible. A large part of our living such as information sharing, collaboration, production, recreation, working and various social activities has been realized from the space that digital media offer. As we see a much broader range, the digital media's diverse expressions affect, in interactive ways, not only the relationship between humans and things, between each individual human, and between humans and the environment, but also even emotional purification and realm of educational, cultural, and social aspect. In this study, the aim is to discuss the user-centered design considered for integration into the interaction space design method and is to concentrate on research on. Focusing on digital media, user-friendly interface features of the space environment, construction and utilization of digital media have been applied to try to analyze the interaction effect of space that is created for the design and application of various applications and will seek ways. Thus, various case-studies have been explored where interface space is developed, creating virtual reality through cognitive basis and 3-D interface space. For example, emotional expressions are embedded for the space of commerce, education and exhibition, enabling intercommunication through haptic interface, with changing sound and visual effects which are caused by the movement of people in a certain space. With consideration of the relationship between physical environment and objects, interactive design should be achieved by providing a human oriented interface based on social, cultural and environmental aspects.

This study was to develope a vibrotactile display system using windows media player from digital audio signal. WMPlayer10SDK system which was plug-in tool by microsoft windows media player provided its video and audio signal information. The audio signal was tried to be change into vibrotactile display. Audio signal had 4 sections such as 8bit, 16bit, 24bit, and 32bit. Each section was computed its frequency and vibrato scale. And data was transferred to 38400bps network port(COM1) for vibration. Using this system was able to develop the music suit which presented tactile feeling of music beyond sound. Therefore, it may provide cross modal technology for fusion technology of human senses.

In this paper, we propose "SenseMessenger" as a novel interaction method to capture and play tactile sense to let users feel enhanced sense experience. To improve this, we reconstructed the process of making cocktail to be digitalized for reinforcing the quality of user's experience, and designed cup-shaped devices, Sense Messenger, which is consist of Sense-recorder, Sense-player, and Sense-table. And, using these devices with common users, we discussed future applications.

Research in Human Computer Interface (HCI) is towards development of an application environment able to deal with interactions of both human and computers that can be more intuitive and efficient. This can be achieved by bridging the gap between the synthetic virtual environment and the natural physical environment. Thus a project called Tangible Space Initiative (TSI) has been launched by KIST. TSI is subdivided into Tangible Interface (TI) which controls 3D cyber space with user's perspective, Responsive Cyber Space (RCS) which creates and controls the virtual environment and Tangible Agent (TA) which senses and acts upon the physical interface environment on behalf of any components of TSI or the user. This paper is a brief introduction to a new generation of Human Computer Interface that bring user to a new era of interaction with computers in the future.

This paper presents a compact and low-power on-chip touch sensor and readout circuit using shunt proximity touch sensor and its design scheme. In the proposed touch sensor readout circuit, the touch panel condition depending on the proximity of the finger is directly converted into the corresponding voltage level without additional signal conditioning procedures. Furthermore, the additional circuitry including the comparator and the flip-flop does not consume any static current, which leads to a low-power design scheme. A new prototype touch sensor readout integrated circuit was fabricated using complementally metal oxide silicon (CMOS) $0.18{\mu}m$ technology with core area of $0.032mm^2$ and total current of $125{\mu}A$. Our measurement result shows that an actual 10.4 inches capacitive type touch screen panel (TSP) can detect the finger size from 0 to 1.52 mm, sharply.
