Abstract

Indoor location-based services provide a service based on the distance between an object and a person. Recently, indoor location-based services are often implemented using inexpensive depth sensors such as Kinect. The depth sensor provides a function to measure the position of a person, but the position of an object must be acquired manually using a tool. To acquire a 3D position of an object, it requires 3D interaction, which is difficult to a general user. GUI(Graphical User Interface) is relatively easy to a general user but it is hard to gather a 3D position. This study proposes the Interactive LOcation Context Authoring Toolkit(ILOCAT), which enables a general user to easily acquire a 3D position of an object in real space using GUI. This paper describes the interaction design and implementation of ILOCAT.

실내 위치 기반 서비스는 사람과 물체 간의 거리에 기반한 서비스를 제공한다. 이러한 실내 위치 기반 서비스는 최근 키넥트와 같은 저렴한 가격의 깊이 센서를 활용하여 구현하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 다수의 깊이 센서들은 사람의 위치를 트랙킹하는 기능을 기본으로 제공한다. 하지만 물체의 위치는 직접 수동으로 측정해야 한다. 물체의 3차원 위치를 획득하기 위해서는 3차원 인터랙션이 필요한데 이는 일반 사용자들에게는 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 반면에 일반 사용자가 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 GUI (Graphical User Interface) 의 경우에는 3차원 위치 획득이 제한된다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 개발된 ILOCAT (Interactive LOcation Context Authoring Toolkit)을 제안한다. ILOCAT 은 일반 사용자들이 실공간에서 GUI를 활용하여 쉽게 물체의 3차원 위치를 취득할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 본 논문은 ILOCAT 의 디자인 및 구현을 상세히 설명한다.
