Abstract

Since smart devices are able to efficiently provide information without barriers of time and location, they are widely utilized with advent of the hyper-connected society. Especially, the smart devices have been developed in the form of wearable devices for mutual interaction between human and objects. Smart clothing, which embeds smart devices within clothes, measures and obtains a variety of bio-signals as it is in close contact with the human bodies. Conventional smart clothing generated wearers' discomfort because they were developed by simple attachment of electronic devices to clothes. Therefore, it is highly recommended to develop novel smart clothing based on smart textiles which integrate electronic devices as parts of textiles. As smart watches are currently the most available wearable devices in the market, smart watch users were selected in this study, for the purpose of investigating core needs of wearable smart device users based on the user experience and user's sensibility. Qualitative research was performed through semi-structured interview in order to obtain detailed answers about user sensibility based on smart watch user experience. After the in-depth interview, the user's sensibility was categorized into four aspects; functional, aesthetic, social, and empirical. Sensibility adjectives and key words were assigned to each aspect and their frequency was analyzed. It was the functional aspect of sensibility that the wearable device users require the most. The results of this study will be utilized as a fundamental data to develop the smart textiles required for the next generation of smart clothing which is attracting as a future wearable device.

초연결사회의 시대가 도래하여 시간과 공간의 제약없이 효율적으로 정보를 전달할 수 있는 스마트 디바이스의 사용이 보편화되었다. 스마트 디바이스는 사람과 사물 간의 상호작용을 통하여 정보를 전달할 수 있도록 점차 웨어러블 형태로 발전하고 있으며, 의복 형태의 스마트 디바이스인 스마트의류는 인체에 가장 밀착한 상태로 각종 생체신호 등의 측정이 가능하기 때문에 미래 일상생활에서 사용도가 높아질 것으로 주목받고 있다. 기존에 개발된 스마트의류는 의복에 전자장치를 부착한 형태로 개발되어 기기 이물감으로 인해 착용 시 사용자의 불편을 야기하여 지속적으로 생체신호를 측정하기에 한계가 있었다. 이에 따라 점차 전자장치가 텍스타일 내의 한 요소로 통합되어 있는 스마트 텍스타일을 기반으로 한 스마트의류의 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 소비자에게 가장 근접한 웨어러블 디바이스인 스마트워치 사용자를 대상으로 하여 사용경험에 기반한 감성을 통해 웨어러블 디바이스에서 사용자가 필요로 하는 요구조건을 탐색하고자 하였다. 스마트워치 사용자의 경험에 기반한 감성에 대해 구체적인 답변을 얻고자 반구조화 된 심층인터뷰를 통해 질적 연구를 수행하였으며, 심층인터뷰 내용을 바탕으로 사용자감성을 기능적, 심미적, 사회적, 경험적 네 가지 측면으로 분류하였다. 측면별로 감성키워드를 설정하여 빈도 수 확인을 통해 스마트워치 사용자의 관심도를 알아보았다. 본 연구의 결과를 미래의 웨어러블 디바이스로 주목받고 있는 스마트의류 제작에 필요한 스마트 텍스타일 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.
