The objectives of this study were to develop calcium enriched menu for the aged and to investigate physicochemical characteristics and consumer acceptances of the menus. four kinds of the menu were developed with emphasis on calcium enriched food materials of red pepper leaves seasoned vegetables for menu1, shrimp for menu2, anchovy for menu3, seaweed for menu4. one portion of calorie, polysaccharide, protein, fats and calcium for the aged were calculated as 567kcal, 92.8g, 21.3g, 12.6g 223.1mg, respectively based on the recommended daily allowances for adults. Calcium content increased in the lowest value of all(p<0.05). The hunter lightness(L) values of barely rice in menu 1, radish soup in menu 1, chopped roast chicken in menu 4 and radish salad in menu 2 had significantly the highest values of all(p<0.05). The calcium enriched menus for the aged were successfully developed and these data could be used as basic informations for the improvement in health and life of the aged.

Objective: We proposed an effective 3D menu manipulation alternative with a usability test. This was performed in a 3D environment with 3D menu and control manipulation methods. Background: As 3D stereoscopic displays became generalized, various 3D applications were being used not just movies, games, but also mobile contents and advertisements. However, when a user interface was designed in a 3D environment, it was lacked that a clear standard and result of an efficiency and usability as like a 2D environment. Method: We implemented 9 kinds of 3D menu types based on 3D menu hierarchies, menu layouts and dimensions. And we extracted 3 representative control types in a 3D environment. We performed usability evaluation with full factorial design for 27 menu alternatives with 2 types of menu manipulation tasks. In this condition, we measured the performance time, subjective discomfort and eye-fatigue. Results: A control type had the significant effect, and the effect of menu types had the different result depending on given tasks. Conclusion: This experiment showed the interaction of menu and control types depended on 3D menu manipulation tasks were significant in a 3D user interface design. Therefore, as a purpose of a 3D menu manipulation task, 3D menu types and control types were should be considered. Application: We supposed this result was should be applied in a 3D menu contents design.
