  • Publication number: 20130283214
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for providing a user interface for recognizing a user's gesture in virtual or augmented reality. The user interface provision apparatus includes an image provision unit for providing virtual reality to a 3D area. A manipulation recognition unit is represented in the 3D area and recognizes a gesture based on a user experience using a visual contact effect. A processing unit recognizes the gesture and manipulates one or more bubble clouds. Further, the apparatus provides a user interface for menu manipulation and configuration so that a virtual object is held and manipulated in the same manner as when an object is held with the hand or a tool in the real world, rather than the manner in which 3D model control is performed based on recognition of the gesture made by the hand in augmented reality or virtual reality.

  • Publication number: 20130273947
    Abstract: Disclosed are a secure communication method and system. In a wireless communication environment in which there is a wiretapper wiretapping a signal transmitted by a first transmitter to a first receiver, the secure communication method calculates a beamforming vector including first and second beamforming vectors based on channel information between the second transmitter and the first receiver and channel information between the second transmitter and a second receiver, and performs beamforming on the first and second receivers with the calculated beamforming vector. Accordingly, even when it is unable to know channel information of a wiretapper, the secure communication method can satisfy the minimum service-quality requirements of a secondary user and maximize a primary user's secure ability.
