This study investigates the influence of technology readiness, fashion innovativeness, and participation level perception on the acceptance intention of 3D virtual fitting systems. We presented a 3D virtual fitting system with detailed information that was watched by respondents who subsequently completed a research questionnaire. The data were collected from 300 subjects with an age range of 21 to 39 who have experienced Internet shopping. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results were as follows. First, fashion innovativeness, technology innovativeness, participation level perception, and optimism significantly influenced the acceptance intention. Second, fashion innovativeness, technology innovativeness, participation level perception, and optimism positively influenced the acceptance intention in the male group; however, technology innovativeness, participation level perception, optimism, and insecurity significantly influenced the acceptance intention in the female group. The results indicated that a marketing strategy has to be designed that focuses on consumers with high technology, fashion innovativeness, and optimism to increase the acceptance intention. In addition, markers have to enhance a participation level perception that will contribute to the introduction of 3D virtual fitting systems. Another notable finding was the importance to differentiate marketing strategies according to gender.

디지털 콘텐츠에서 구현되는 가상 캐릭터를 효과적으로 개발하기 위해서는 감성 상태(기쁨, 슬픔, 공포, 화남)가 제대로 전달되도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 가상 캐릭터의 얼굴표정과 몸짓이 표현하는 감성 상태의 일치여부에 따라서 사용자가 가상 캐릭터의 감성 상태를 어떻게 지각하며, 가상 캐릭터의 몸짓을 어떻게 평가하는가를 검증하였다. 이를 위하여 몸짓과 얼굴표정의 감성표현을 동일하게 구성한 일치조건, 정반대의 감성표현으로 구성된 불일치조건, 그리고 무표정한 얼굴표정으로 구현된 통제집단을 구성했다. 연구결과에 따르면 슬픔 조건에서 의도된 감성 상태가 제대로 전달되지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 오히려 화난 것으로 지각되었다. 그러나 나머지 감성 상태에서는 몸짓과 얼굴표정의 일치여부는 의도된 감성 전달에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 감성 상태의 표현에 대한 가상 캐릭터의 전체적인 몸짓에 대한 평가에서는 기쁨을 표현한 몸짓이 불일치 조건의 얼굴표정을 갖게 될 때, 평가 점수가 낮았다. 가상 캐릭터의 감성을 표현할 때는 얼굴 표정도 중요하지만 몸짓 자체의 감성표현이 전반적으로 결정적인 역할을 수행하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 가상 캐릭터의 성별이나 연령과 같은 사회적 단서에 대한 연구의 필요성을 설명했다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of virtual reality-based continuous slow exercise on muscle strength and dynamic balance capacity, in older adults over 65 years of age. Methods: Twenty-six volunteers were randomly divided into two groups; a Virtual Reality (VR) exercise-group ($67.8{\pm}4.1$ yrs) and a Control group ($65.5{\pm}5.2$ yrs). The VR group participated in eight weeks of virtual reality exercise, utilizing modified Tai-Chi provided by a motion capture system, and the Control group had no intervention. The hip muscle strength and dynamic balance of the members of both the VR group and the Control group were measured at pre- and post-intervention, using a multimodal dynamometer, and backward stepping test, respectively. Results: 1. After the 8-week VR-based exercise, the VR group showed significant improvement of hip strength, compared to the control group: hip extension (p=0.00), flexion (p=0.00), abduction (p=0.00), and adduction (p=0.00). 2. After the 8-week VR-based exercise, the VR group showed significant improvement of dynamic balance capacity as ground reaction force, compared to the control group. Eyes opened backward stepping test: Fx (+) (p=0.00), Fy (-) (p=0.02), Ver (+) (p=0.02) direction. Eyes closed backward stepping test: Fx (+) (p=0.04), Fy (-) (p=0.04), Ver (+) (p=0.03) direction. Conclusion: The VR group showed improvement of their hip muscle strength, and dynamic balance capacity. Therefore VR-based continuous slow exercise would contribute to reducing the risk of falls in the elderly.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to analyze the effects of virtual reality inspiratory muscle training and conventional inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm movement and pulmonary function in patients with thoracic restriction. METHODS: This study measured diaphragm movement, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), and thoracic mobility (upper, middle, and lower trunk) under two different conditions. Forty young women between 19 and 24 years of age who had no history of orthopedic symptoms for the last 6 months were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group performed virtual reality inspiratory muscle training and diaphragm breathing, and the control group performed conventional inspiratory muscle training and diaphragm breathing. RESULTS: The control group showed a significant increase in all dependent variables except for lower trunk mobility and PEF. The experimental group showed a significant increase in all dependent variables except for lower trunk mobility. Particularly, the experimental group showed significant increases in diaphragm movement (p<.05), FVC (p<.05), FEV1 (p<.05), and PEF (p<.05) relative to the control group. CONCLUSION: We recommend inspiratory muscle training with a virtual reality program over conventional training to improve diaphragm movement and pulmonary function in patients with thoracic restriction.

The perceptual change and reproduction process of a space is distinguished from the difference between the Modem Times and the digitalized Post-modem Times. According to this changing aspect, the dwelling. concept is also progressed toward the escapeness from the regularly standardized settlement. But, as written above, the escapable dwelling behavior pattern is re-territorizated through new restriction and domination system. Among the newly re-territorized dwelling areas, the virtual space that included human being's equal in the contemporary meaning has already been on the surface in our daily life, it has been enlarging into all kinds of activity. The virtual space has the possibility to extend beyond a already well-used to physical space and time unlimitedly. But, owing to the ambiguous boundary between the real space and the virtual space, it is getting more important to define the spatial substance in the Digital Age. From now on, especially, the academical fields like a Architecture and a Interior Design that dealed with a living space have to give it a great shot. What I really want to say is that various approach about the space itself with the help of many sorts of so-called a Case Study could be a diversity & uniqueness out of a typical point of view about the study handling on space and time.

Every year, lives are lost due to electrical safety accidents that could have been prevented with proper education and awareness of electrical safety. To prevent such accidents, experiential education is more effective than indoctrination education. This paper describes the electrical safety education system based on virtual reality (VR) and evaluates effect of the proposed system. Users operated the experiential electrical safety education system, and they were provided electrical stimulation in an electric shock experience using a haptic device. Appropriate stimulation values were calculated according to age (children vs. adults) and gender through experiment. The scenario in which participants experience electrical safety in the home environment was structured, and related educational contents was produced. A total of 68 healthy elementary students evaluated the educational effect of the system. The results showed that the educational effect and the sustainability of effect of the proposed system are superior to those of existing multimedia learning methods. By implementing electrical safety education stimulating the senses of human, the learning effect was promoted and this experiential education would be able to prevent electrical accidents.

This study develops size sections and specifications for females 7-18 years old. The specifications will contribute to the development of precise virtual models that represent basic data for the size alteration of 3D virtual models. A total of 33 items from the $5^{th}$ Size Korea data set were adopted and analyzed. Two representative factors (Obesity and Height Factors) were identified through a factor analysis of the 33 items. Waist circumference and stature were selected as representative variables for Obesity and Height Factors, respectively, and conducted cross tabulations between waist circumference and height for the age groups of 7-12 and 13-18 year-olds. Size sections were developed for the development of 3D models based on the results. A regression analysis then developed size specifications for each section with independent variables of waist circumference and height as well as dependent variables of reference body size. Subsequently, Obesity Factors were better explained by waist circumference and Height Factors were better explained by stature. Finally, size specifications for each section were developed.

언제, 어디서, 누구나 대용량 네트워크를 사용할 수 있는 유비쿼터스(ubiquitous) 시대가 다가오면서, 카메라가 장착되어 있고 무선 통신이 가능한 PDA, 웨어러블(wearable) 컴퓨터와 같은 휴대용 장치가 가까운 미래에는 일상의 한 부분이 될 것이다. 이런 상황을 반영하듯, 휴대용 장치를 이용한 실감형 게임(augmented game)에 관한 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 실감형 게임들은 전통적으로 'backpack' 시스템이나 패턴마커(pattern marker)를 이용하였다. 'backpack' 시스템은 비싸고, 거추장스러우며, 사용하기 불편한 단점이 있으며, 패턴마커를 사용하면 미리 정한 장소에서만 게임을 해야 하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서 소개하는 게임 Flying Cake는 거추장스러운 장비 대신, 가볍고 휴대 가능한 PDA를 이용하며, 실제 세계에서 가상의 물체를 접목(overlay)하기 위해, 수동적인 패턴마커 대신 얼굴 영역을 이용한다. Flying Cake는 PDA만을 이용하여 실제 세계를 돌아다니며 카메라에 의해 입력된 영상에 접목된 가상의 캐릭터를 공격하는 일인용과 무선 랜을 통해 전송되는 상대방의 영상에 접목된 가상의 캐릭터를 공격하는 이인용을 제공하는 실감형 슈팅 게임이다. 얼굴 추출 기술을 이용하여 입력 영상의 얼굴영역에 가상의 캐릭터를 접목하며, 사용자는 가상의 캐릭터를 공격하며 게임을 즐긴다. Flying Cake는 얼굴 추출 기술을 이용하여 PDA카메라를 통해 입력된 실제 세계와 가상의 물체 사이의 상호작용을 제공하는 새로운 패러다임(paradigm)을 제공함으로써 사용자에게 새로운 즐거움을 제공할 것이다.

In this paper, we present a new, easy-to-generate system that is capable of creating virtual 3D tree models and simulating a variety of growth processes of a tree from a single, real tree image. We not only construct various tree models with the same trunk through our proposed digital image matting method and skeleton-based abstraction of branches, but we also animate the visual growth of the constructed 3D tree model through usage of the branch age information combined with a scaling factor. To control the simulation of a tree growth process, we consider tree-growing attributes, such as branching orders, branch width, tree size, and branch self-bending effect, at the same time. Other invisible branches and leaves are automatically attached to the tree by employing parametric branch libraries under the conventional procedural assumption of structure having a local self-similarity. Simulations with a real image confirm that our system makes it possible to achieve realistic tree models and growth processes with ease.
