‘촉감 전달하는 마우스' 개발
컴퓨터 화면 상의 촉감을 전달해주는 마우스가 국내 연구진들에 의해 개발됐다.수요일 미래창조과학부는 보도자료를 통해 가상현실의 촉감을 느낄 수 있는 마우스가 한국표준과학연구원 질량힘센터에 의해 개발됐다고 밝혔다.개발된 마우스를 이용하면 사용자는 컴퓨터에서 보여지는 3D 가상현실의 촉감 정보를 실제와 유사하게 느낄 수 있다. 예를 들어 화면 상에 나타나는 호수에 마우스 커서를 갖다 대면 마치 손을 댄 듯이 호수의 차갑고 출렁거리는 고유한 촉감이 마우스를 통해 전달되는 것이다.이는 연구팀이 개발한 ‘복합 촉각 제시장치’로 가능해졌으며 장치는 가상현실의 복합적 촉각정보를 동시에 구현해 이를 사용자에게 제공하는 역할을 한다.박연규 박사는 “앞으로 본 기술이 발전하면 사용자는 인터넷 전자 상거래에서 제품을 직접 만져보고 구매가 가능하며, 실제로는 만질 수 없는 박물관의 유물 등을 마우스를 통해 느껴볼 수 있다”며 “특히 3D 형태가 주류인 온라인 게임 산업에서 촉각 제시 기능은 사용자들에게 향

김기덕 ’뫼비우스' 재심의 요청
영화 감독 김기덕이 최근작 ‘뫼비우스'에 대한 영상물등급위원회의의 제한 상영가 등급 판정에 대해 재심의를 요청했다.1일 영상물등급위원회는 ‘뫼비우스’에 대해 주제와 폭력성, 공포, 모방위험 부분에서 청소년에게 유해한 내용을 포함하고 있으며 직계간 성관계를 묘사하는 등 비윤리적, 반 사회적 표현이 있다는 이유로 제한 상영가 판정을 내렸다. 제한 상영가 등급을 받은 영화는 사실상 국내 개봉이 불가능하다.김기덕은 영등위 박선이 위원장에게 보낸 호소문에서 “이번 영등위에서 제한 상영가를 결정한 핵심 이유는 엄마와 아들의 근친 성관계장면이 아닌가 생각한다. 그러나 이 영화의 줄거리를 자세히 보면, 엄마와 아들의 성관계보다는 결국 엄마와 아버지의 성관계의 의미가 더 크다”고 지적했다.이어 김기덕은 “일반 성인관객이 영화를 보고 판단할 기회가 주어져야 한다고 생각한다”며 “19세가 넘은 대한민국 성인들이 ‘뫼비우스’의 주제와 의미를 위험하게 받아들일 것이라고 생각하지 않는다”고 주장했다.한편,
