Recent paradigm in technology shifts from object-based technology to environment-based technology. Issue here is interaction among humans and the world around humans, which is natural and artificial "space." Holistic interactions based on "Mom (embodiment)" suggest a good starting point for exploring this issue. Soft engineering, "Mom," holistic interactions, tangible space, ubiquitous computing, science of emotion, and interactive media are key concepts in interactive technology. Interactive tangible media "iT_Media" is proposed to explore and synthesize these ideas. Interactive technology initiative (ITI) is an interdisciplinary research group to search for the proper technology and the proper way of implementing technology: "interactive technology" or "soft engineering." Some experimental activities conducted by ITI are presented in this session, "Interactive Technology."

We introduce an introductory engineering education course for engineering majors and non-engineering majors. This course does not require any previous knowledge and experience on engineering. It requires strong curiosities and imaginations on current and future society we live in, where technology is inseparable ingredient. Course encourages attendees to explore fundamental issues of engineering: what is proper technology and what are proper ways of exercising engineering, issues dealt in soft engineering. Since course topics cover many aspects of technology, traditional learning methods fail to be successful and efficient. Various efficient learning methods have been proposed and implemented. We utilize various interactive tangible media, which include simulated thought experiments and physical media experiences. About 20 episodes in short film format are produced based on scenario written according to related issues selected. Physical media like interactive robots are introduced for attendees' stimulated experiences. We summarize our exciting experiments on interactive teaching experiences at Pusan National University which include on/off-line interactions, assignments, projects, and evaluations.

We propose Tangible Media Control System (TMCS), which allows users to manipulate media contents with physical objects in an intuitive way. Currently, most people access digital media contents by exploiting GUI. However, It provides limited manipulations of the media contents. The proposed system, instead of mouse and keyboard, adopts two types of tangible objects, i.e RFID-enabled object and tracker-embedded object. The TMCS enables users to easily access and control digital media contents with the tangible objects. In addition, it supports an interactive media controller which users can synthesize media contents and generate new media contents according to users' taste. It also offers personalized contents, which is suitable for users' preferences, by exploiting context such as user's profile and situational information. Therefore. the proposed system can be applied to various interactive applications such as multimedia education, entertainment and multimedia editor.

In this research, a new tabletop system is developed to provide a high resolution display by using multiple displays and computers connected through networks, based on a master/slave architecture. This distributed tabletop system is built to be scalable by just adding slave computers and monitors without modifying any software. Moreover, a EBITA (Environment for Building Interactive Tangible Applications) framework is developed to support constructing interactive games running on this scalable tabletop platforms. EBITA framework consists of the tangible interface module based on the infrared camera tracking system, and the modules that allow easy development of the graphical programs on a distributed environment. This paper describes the tangible interface based on the camera tracking system and EBITA framework. It also introduces a game built with the EBITA framework.

최근 페이스북 (Facebook), 유투브 (YouTube) 등과 같은 소셜 미디어 서비스가 인기를 얻고 있다. 그러나 기존의 사용자 경험에 대한 이론으로는 사용자간 상호작용에 중점을 둔 소셜 미디어 상의 사용자 경험을 충분히 설명하기에 부족한 면이 있다. 본 연구에서는 경험에 대한 철학적인 고찰을 통해 기존 사용자 경험 개념을 보완하는 개념인 공동경험을 재정의하였다. 촉지적 상호작용을 통해 사용자들간에 향상된 품질의 상호작용이 가능해져, 사용자들의 공동경험 지각이 증가한다는 가설을 검증하기 위해 실험 목적의 소셜 미디어 시스템을 구축하고 그 시스템 상에서 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과에 대한 분석과 연구의 의의가 제시되어 있다.

Multi-touch display system has recently attracted world wide attention due to easy accessibility to the various interactive media without any specialized equipments. Especially, Microsoft Sphere(R) shows a considerable promise in treating non-fiat multi-touch display. The distinctive feature of the system is a stable multi-touch interaction on a spherical display. To extend the possibility of the interactions to the more various display surfaces, this paper propose a multi-touch interaction system in the circumstance of the irregular convex surface. The proposed method can be used efficiently in various tangible interface, for example, the interactive diorama system at the exhibition or the tangible arcade game.
