Abstract: 자동차의 운전은 지각, 의사결정, 운동능력 등 다양한 능력을 필요로 하는 복잡한 행동의 연속이고, 지속적인 고도의 의식집중이나 외부자극에 대한 긴장감이 유발되므로 운전자는 피로를 느끼게 되며, 이러한 피로는 교통사고의 원인이 되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 복잡한 도시생활, 교통체증, 직업적인 특성 등에 의하여 운전자가 차량 내에서 보내는 시간은 증가하고 있고, 그에 따른 피로나 스트레스를 피할 수 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 산소공급에 의한 운전 중 피로경감의 가능성을 알아 보기 위하여 주관적인 평가 및 반응시간 테스트를 통하여 각각 다른 산소농도를 공급할 때의 주행시간 경과에 따른 운전 피로감을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 주관적 피로감은 저농도(18%)의 산소조건에서 가장 피로를 많이 느끼고 고농도(30%)의 산소조건에서의 피로감은 상대적으로 감소하였다. 졸림감도 1시간 이상 주행시간이 경과된 경우에 고농도 산소조건에서 상대적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 주행 2시간 후에 급정거의 지시로부터 브레이크에 반응하는 시간은 저농도의 산소조건에 비하여 고농도의 산소조건에서 유의하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 자동차 운전 중에 산소농도가 저하되면 현저하게 피로를 느끼게 되고, 고농도의 산소를 공급하는 경우는 상대적으로 피로감이 저하되며 반응시간이 단축되는 것으로 나타나, 산소공급에 의하여 운전자의 피로가 경감될 수 있다고 시사되었다. 【Driving involves a series of complicated precesses requiring various human capacities, such as perception, will decision, and athletic functions. Consequently, it induces a high degree of continuous concentration of mind and tension from external stimulation, bringing fatigue to the driver, and driver fatigue is counted as one of the major causes of traffic accidents. Nevertheless, because of the complicated urban lives, traffic congestion, job characteristics, and so on, the drivers have to spend a longer time inside a vehicle, and the fatigue and stress thereof is almost unavoidable. We haute, therefore, turned our attention to the reduction in the fatigue during driving by supplying oxygen, and investigated in this research the drivers subjective fatigue evaluations and reaction time when oxygen is supplied in different rates. As a result, we have found that the subjective fatigue feeling is highest at low-rate O/Sub 2/ supply (18%), and fatigue feeling was comparatively reduced at high-rate O/Sub 2/ (30%). The sleepiness also showed the tendency to be reduced at high-rate O/Sub 2/ supply in the case of driving for 1 hour or more. The time for reaction to braking after the sign for urgent stop is given tends to show more substantial reduction at high-rate O/Sub 2/ supply than at low-rate O/Sub 2/ supply after 2 hours driving. It can, therefore, be deduced from the aforesaid results that the subjective responses and behavioral reactions tend to show reduced fatigue at the condition of high-rate O/Sub 2/ supply. Hence, it was suggested that drivers felt subjective fatigue while driving at low-rate O/Sub 2/ and the subjective fatigue and reaction time were reduced at high-rate O/Sub 2/. These findings suggest that the oxygen supply will reduce driver fatigue.】

TL;DR: In this paper, the change of mechanical properties, thermal properties and optical properties by comparing two fabrics which are woven with circular shaped filaments and with triangular ones were evaluated with the KES-FB system.
Abstract: 직물의 태는 손으로 만져 보았을 때 느껴지는 감촉, 육안으로 느껴지는 감각, 그리고 직물의 물리적 역학적 성질 등이 함께 어울어져 이루어지는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폴리에스테르 원형사와 삼각사로 제직된 직물의 태와 온/냉감 및 광택도를 측정하였다. 삼각단면사로 제직된 직물이 원형단면사로 제직된 직물보다 더 좋은 태를 보였으며 열전달계수가 크게 나타나 냉감을 느낄 수 있었으며 높은 반사율을 보였다. 【The handle of fabrics including tactility and sense of visuality are closely related to the factors governing the preferences of end-users. This study shows the change of mechanical properties, thermal properties and optical properties by comparing two fabrics which are woven with circular shaped filaments and with triangular ones. The fabric mechanical characteristics required for primary hand values were evaluated with the KES-FB system. The mechanical properties measured by KES-FB system shows that fabrics made of circular filaments are greater than those made of triangular ones. The thermal properties measured by KES-F7(Thermo Labo II) system shows that the values of the initial maximum value(qmax) and the thermal conductivity(λ) are higher in the fabric made of triangular shaped ones. When the light rays tall on a surface, the fabric made of triangular filaments shows more lustrous than circular ones.】

TL;DR: In this article, the CAVE questionnaire was used to evaluate the effect of virtual reality games on virtual reality users' health. But, the results showed that 90% of the participants reported symptoms of cybersickness.
Abstract: 이전 연구에서 가상현실에 몰입하는 동안 넓은 시야(field of view : 150˚)와 빠른 운행속도(70km/sec)가 사이버 멀미를 심화시킨다는 결과를 얻었다. 피험자의 90%가 좁은 시야(50˚)와 느린 운행속도(30km/sec)에서 사이버멀미 증상이 적었다. 본 실험에서는 피험자가 생리적인 동요를 경험할 때마다 바이오피드백 방법을 사용하여 사이버 멀미 감소 가상환경(cybersickness alleviating virtual environment ; CAVE)을 제시한 후, 그 효과를 관찰하였다. 피부전도도, 말초체온, 말초 혈류량, 심박률, 눈 깜박임, 뇌전위의 변수들을 입력하는 인공 신경망으로 구성된 실시간 멀미 탐지 시스템과 CAVE-제시 피드백 시스템을 구축하였다 이 시스템들은 생리적 측정치들이 사이버 멀미의 출현을 신호할 때마다 피드백 출력으로 좁은 화면과 감소된 운행속도를 일시적으로 제공하였다. 36명의 피험자를 대상으로 SSQ(simulator sickness questionnaire)와 자기보고를 이용하여 사이버 멀미의 빈도와 심각도를 조사하였다. 모든 피험자는 한달 간격으로 CAW 조건과 non-CAYE 조건에서 두 번 가상현실을 경험하였다. 사이버멀미의 빈도와 심각도는 non-CAVE 조건보다 CAVE 조건에서 유의미하게 감소하였다. 즉, 전기 생리학적 특징들에 기반한 인공 신경망에 의해 제공된 좁은 시야와 느린 운행의 가상환경은 사이버 멀미 증상들을 감소시켰다 이러한 결과들은 생체신호 피드백 시스템을 이용하여 인간 친화적 가상환경을 구축할 수 있는 가능성을 보인 것이다. 【Our previous studies investigated that narrow field of view (FOV : 50˚) and slow navigation speed decreased the frequency of occurrence and severity of cybersickness during immersion in the virtual reality (VR). It would cause a significant reduction of cybersickness if it were provided cybersickness alleviating virtual environment (CAVE) using biofeedback method whenever subject underwent physiological agitation. For verifying the hypothesis, we constructed a real-time cybersickness detection and feedback system with artificial neural network whose inputs are electrophysiological parameters of blood pulse volume, skin conductance, eye blink, skin temperature, heart period, and EEG. The system temporary provided narrow FOV and decreased speed of navigation as feedback outputs whenever physiological measures signal the occurrence of cybersickness. We examined the frequency and severity of cybersickness from simulator sickness questionnaires and self-report in 36 subjects. All subjects experienced VR two times in CAVE and non-CAVE condition at one-month intervals. The frequency and severity of cybersickness were significantly reduced in CAVE than non-CAVE condition. Virtual environment of narrow FOV and slow navigation provided by electrophysiological features based artificial neural network caused a significant reduction of cybersickness symptoms. These results showed that efficiency of a cybersickness detection system we developed was relatively high and subjects expressed more comfortable in the virtual navigation environment.】

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an emotion rating scale induced by odors and identified the structure of odor emotion by using adjectives that describe odors to develop a rating scale, which consisted of 'Esthetics', 'Intensity', 'Romance', 'Nature' and 'Character'.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop 'Emotion Rating Scale induced by Odors'and to identify the structure of odor emotion induced by odors. At first 37 adjectives that describe odor to develop a rating scale were selected. Subjects were to rate odor emotion on a 7-point bipolar scale. 304 subjects participated and were as a group instructed to rate odor emotion. 53 out of 304 subjects were retested to test for reliability of the scale two weeks after under the same condition and finally 25 adjectives were then selected based on high test-retest reliability and factor loading, high contributing to one factor. 24 subjects each in 10s, 20s, 30s & 40s were to rate odor emotion induced by 5 different odors on the scale developed. The structure of odor emotion consisted of 'Esthetics', 'Intensity', 'Romance', 'Nature'and 'Character'. The structure of odor emotion by age appeared quite similar but that by different odors was little bit different.
