Yoo Jin Kwon,Kyoung-Nan Kwon 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2015 Global Fashion Management Conference Vol.2015 No.06

Selfie refers to self-portrait photography, which became widespread practice with handy digital photographing technologies and the proliferation of social media. There are only a few studies on selfie and most of them examine the psychological profiles of selfie takers. However, we conducted a qualitative study to understand diverse goals embedded in the selfie practice and meanings of the practice. Eighty one undergraduate students enrolled in a university in South Korea, who reported to take selfies frequently, were recruited for in-depth interviews. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for thirty minutes to an hour, asking their selfie-taking behaviors including general information (when, where, how, why), skills and techniques, related memories and experiences, and sharing and online posting. Transcripts and observations were analyzed through multiple steps of coding. Data revealed numerous strategies in selfie photography and statements about why those strategies are important, that is, goals of selfie practice. We present findings in the following structure: Operation of selective selves → Subordinate goals → Superordinate goals We abstract the essential feature of selfie as augmented control as a result of integrative and selective operation of the three selves as the one who photographs, the one who is photographed, and/or the one who owns and uses the selfie. Participants’ strategies reflect this complexity. For example, tips for camera angles and lighting are related to self as a subject who photographs. Knowledge on facial expressions reflects self as an object that is photographed. Photoshop skills are obtained as self who uses the photographs. Five goals at the subordinate level emerged: Attractive appearance, social activities, testimonial, fact check, and story-telling. These are the immediate goals gained through taking, using, and possessing selfies. Different goals are formed based on relatively different importance of each of the three selves. For example, to post a selfie that tells one’s feeling about new season, the photographer chooses to focus on the self as a subject who writes a story and portrays in photographing rather than the self as an object of the photograph. Superordinate goals are derived from the subordinate goals: Narcissism, self-discovery, self-expression, reminiscence, display, self-monitoring, and belongingness. As in the relations between selves and subordinate goals, some subordinate goals are related to more than one superordinate goal. Some superordinate goals also result from more than one subordinate goal. We conclude that selfie provides augmented control in producing and using pictures and the selective operation of the three selves enables consumers to obtain various individual and social values through the selfie practice.

Extreme selfie behavior has become a social problem in recent years. Therefore, this study focus on the psychological mechanism of ‘why obsessed with selfies?' in teenagers and twenties. Specifically, based on the ‘selfities behavior scale’ developed by Balakrishnan and Griffiths(2017), we studied the effects of narcissism, social instrumentality of appearance, self-presentation motivation on selfie compulsive behavior. Questionnaires were collected from 292 people who are currently using SNS and have posted photos there. SPSS 20.0 and LISREL 8.30 were used for data analysis. We performed a structural equation model analysis to verify our hypothesis and research model. The results are as follows: we found narcissism to be positively related to selfie compulsive behavior, social instrumentality of appearance, and self-presentation motivation in SNS; we also found social instrumentality of appearance to be positively related to selfie compulsive behavior and self presentation motivation in SNS; finally, our analysis identified a relationship between self-presentation motivation and selfie compulsive behavior. The results of this study are meaningful in that they have identified the factors influencing the obsessive compulsive selfie behavior in the context of social relationship formation of SNS. The conclusions of the study discussed academic and practical expectations and their utility.

Unmet Needs를 반영한 카메라 디자인 개발 사례

진병욱,변상태 한국인더스트리얼디자인학회 2015 산업디자인학연구 Vol.9 No.2

The development of smartphones and sharply increased the number of instant photo users, thus resulting in smartphones replacing compact cameras. Yet, many people want to record the memories of their lives with better quality images. But big heavy cameras are no longer welcome. Developers understood that small, light, easy and fun to use camera with the same basic performances is in demand. The design began with the idea that a good camera is one with a light weight, outstanding mobility and convenient use, not one that is heavy and difficult to use. With NX-mini users can enjoy brilliant pictures because of its high-performance lens exchangeable camera. Users can have the sense of both a modern heritage and analogue feeling when using NX-mini, as it has reinterpreted the traditional beauty of the durability of a camera to a modern aesthetics. It highlights how the simple function changed into various functions. The cylindrical lans, rotating C-shape when zooming in and out, gives a strong impression and reliability. For the consumers, focal length and ratio of the lens appear on the front in a simple manner, while its functional information shows up on its side, particularly for professionals and sellers. The flip-up design of NX-miny lets the users rotate the screen a full 180 degrees, making it the idal selfie and wefie camera. The design and technology applied to NX-mini allow users to represent their value and individuality in a natural way, making the lives of people who will lead the change from selfie to wefie more exciting and fun. NX-miny took to No. 1 in 6 months after launching and had the great breakthrough in the camera industry. 스마트폰과 SNS의 발전으로 Instant Photo User가 급격하게 늘어났으며, 이러한 환경 속에서 컴팩트 카메라는 스마트폰에 의해 대체되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 아직도 많은 사람들은 자신의 일상을 좀 더 나은 사진으로 남기기를 원하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 크고 무거운 카메라는 소외를 받고 있다. 이러한 요구에 착안하여 카메라 본연의 성능은 유지하면서 더 작고 가벼우며 사용하기 쉽고, 재미있는 카메라가 필요하다는 판단을 하게 되었다. 좋은 카메라란 크고 무겁고 어려운 카메라라는 인식에서 누구나 가볍게 가지고 다니고, 쉽게 사용하는 카메라라는 생각에서 시작된 NX-mini는 오랜 시간 함께 할 수 있는 지속성을 가진 카메라의 전통미를 현대미학으로 재해석 하여 Modern Heritage와 Analog Feeling을 동시에 느낄 수 있으며, 단순한 기능이 다양한 기능으로 변화되는 사용성이 돋보이도록 하였다. 소비자를 위해 반드시 인지해야 하는 렌즈의 Focal Langth와 Focal Ratio를 한눈에 알아보도록 렌즈의 전면에 간결하게 표기하고, 종래의 전문가와 판매자들을 배려하여 측면에 필요한 기능문구의 표기를 하였다. 또한 다양한 각도로 조절되는 Flip-up 디스플레이를 통하여 촬영구도뿐만 아니라 Selfie와 Wefie를 손쉽게 즐길 수 있다. 이처럼 Selfie를 넘어 Wefie로의 트랜드 변화를 선도할 사람들의 재미있고 즐거운 생활 속에 존재의미를 부여하기 위하여 시장과 타겟 사용자의 특성을 철저히 분석하였다. 결과적으로 스마트폰에 의해 카메라 시장이 점차 축소되어 가는 환경에서도 소비자의 미 충족 요구를 제대로 반영한 Nx-mini 제품은 출시 후 6개월 만에 동일카테고리 M/S 1위에 등극함은 물론, 후속 라인업을 전개시킴으로서 흔들리는 카메라 사업의 한 돌파구가 되고 있다.

SelfieHelper : Improving Selfie Experiences for People with Visual Impairments

Yunjung Lee,Uran Oh 한국HCI학회 2020 한국HCI학회 논문지 Vol.15 No.3

Selfies have been a major social trend for several years, recently. However, a number of people with visual impairments are excluded due to accessibility problems although their use of social media is as high as sighted people. To improve their selfie experiences, we propose SelfieHelper, a mobile application for taking and managing selfies for people with visual impairments, and conducted a design probe study with 8 participants with visual impairments. Based on the collected subjective opinions and the potential and limitations we have discovered in this study, we discuss how a future selfie assistance application for people with visual impairments can promote independent selfie-related activities such as taking and organizing selfies with the ultimate goal of lowering the potential barriers for them to participate in online social activities.

이현정 복식문화학회 2022 服飾文化硏究 Vol.30 No.5

Image-oriented information is becoming increasingly important on social networking services (SNS); the background of this trend is the popularity of selfies. Currently, camera applications using augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are gaining traction. An AR camera app is a smartphone application that converts selfies into various interesting forms using filters. In this study, we investigated the change of keywords according to the time flow of selfies in Goolgle News articles through semantic network analysis. Additionally, we examined the effects of using an AR camera app on appearance satisfaction and self-esteem when taking a selfie. Semantic network analysis revealed that in 2013, postings of specific people were the most prominent selfie-related keywords. In 2019, keywords appeared regarding the launch of a new smartphone with a rear-facing camera for selfies; in 2020, keywords related to communication through selfies appeared. As a result of examining the effect of the degree of use of the AR camera app on appearance satisfaction, it was found that the higher the degree of use, the higher the user’s interest in appearance. As a result of examining the effect of the degree of use of the AR camera app on self-esteem, it was found that the higher the degree of use, the higher the user’s negative self-esteem.

혼합연구를 활용한 세대별, 성별에 따른 셀피보정인식 차이 분석

백경진,노연숙 대한미용학회 2023 대한미용학회지 Vol.19 No.1

The purpose of this study is to determine the dimension of selfie-editing awareness and to clarify the difference in perspective on selfie-editing according to generation and gender. Therefore, a mixed method study combining qualitative and quantitative research was conducted, and the results are summarized as follows. First, selfie-editing, defined as a means to complement one’s appearance regardless of generation and gender, is recognized as a socially important competency for individuals. Second, just as personal standards regarding ideal beauty differ, a difference in perception regarding the degree of selfie-editing was also observed. Finally, selfie-editing is an index that can be used to identify trends and can be regarded as a standard for use in determining the standards of beauty, sensibility, and taste pursued by the current generation. This study is meaningful in that it provides a objective perspective on selfieediting, compared with previous studies that focused only on negative views regarding selfie-editin

이정혁,장호익 (사)한국CDE학회 2015 한국CAD/CAM학회학회지 Vol.21 No.2

In this paper, the FREECAD 0.14 was used for modeling conventional Selfie-stick and the newly proposed Selfie-stick design. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the utility of FREECAD 0.14, which is open-source and still in development for further use. After modeling the conventional Selfie-stick, CatiyaV5 was used to assemble FREECAD 0.14 drawn elements. Main issue in newly designed Selfie-stick is the portability. To improve portability of the Selfie-stick, folding mechanism was adopted from folding LED stands. Several mechanisms were adopted to improve user convenience as well. Ansys 14.0 was used for structural analyses of conventional Selfie-stick model and the newly designed model as well. Several simplifications for the models were needed to process the analyses. When analyzing the newly designed model various materials were used one by one to find compatible composition. Using Magnesium Alloy for the stick and the hand grip was found to be compatible. FREECAD was useful for suggestion of the newly designed model but not so much useful to design an actual product. Various efforts would make FreeCAD the best choice for industrial use for free as it is named.

Virtual portraits from rotating selfies

이용식,장진혁,양승준 한국전자통신연구원 2023 ETRI Journal Vol.45 No.2

Selfies are a popular form of photography. However, due to physical constraints, the compositions of selfies are limited. We present algorithms for creating virtual portraits with interesting compositions from a set of selfies. The selfies are taken at the same location while the user spins around. The scene is analyzed using multiple selfies to determine the locations of the camera, subject, and background. Then, a view from a virtual camera is synthesized. We present two use cases. After rearranging the distances between the camera, subject, and background, we render a virtual view from a camera with a longer focal length. Following that, changes in perspective and lens characteristics caused by new compositions and focal lengths are simulated. Second, a virtual panoramic view with a larger field of view is rendered, with the user’s image placed in a preferred location. In our experiments, virtual portraits with a wide range of focal lengths were obtained using a device equipped with a lens that has only one focal length. The rendered portraits included compositions that would be photographed with actual lenses. Our proposed algorithms can provide new use cases in which selfie compositions are not limited by a camera’s focal length or distance from the camera.

고령화는 노인들 자신에게 신체적, 정신적 고통을 줄 뿐 아니라 국가적으로도 노인 부양에 따른 사회적, 경제적 부담을 야기한다. 하지만 이런 상황을 문제로 보는 시각이 아닌 사회적 현상의 일부로 인식하여 노인들의 활기찬 삶을 영위하도록 하는 엑티브 에이징(Active aging)이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 노인들의 엑티브 에이징을 위한 방법의 일환으로써 이미 세계적으로 많은 사람들의 일상이 된 셀피(Selfie)를 적용시켜 노인들의 자존감 향상과 사회 소속감 증대 등의 효과로 활력있는 노년의 삶을 가질 수 있도록 하는 데 목적이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 첫째, 문헌 연구를 통해 고령화 시대의 현상과 노인들의 삶에 대한 문제를 조사하였고 엑티브 에이징의 개념과 사례를 고찰하였다. 둘째, 문헌 조사를 통해 셀피의 개념과 긍정적 효과들을 고찰하였으며, 전문가 평가를 통해 시장에 출시된 셀피관련 제품들을 대상으로 특성에 따라 제품군을 구분하고 제품들의 우수 요소들을 발견하였다. 셋째, 60세 이상의 노인들을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 통해 그들의 신체적, 성격적 특성을 기준으로 4개 사용자 그룹으로 세분화하였으며, 각 그룹별 심층 인터뷰를 통해 이들의 니즈를 발견하였다. 마지막으로 지금까지의 과정을 통해 발견된 사항들을 기준으로 노인들의 엑티브 에이징을 위한 셀피의 신(新) 가치와 제품 개발을 위한 디자인 전략을 정의하였다. Aging causes physical and mental pain to the elderly themselves and the country has a social and economic burden to support the elderly. However, recently active aging has emerged because we don’t want to see this situation as a problem but as part of the social phenomenon and elderly enjoy a lively life. The purpose of this study has applied selfie to this phenomenon, which has already become the daily life of many people in the world, as a way for active aging and improving the self-esteem of the elderly and increasing the sense of belonging to society allow the elderly to have a lively life of the elderly. Therefore, in this study, the first, through the literature, the phenomena of the aging era and the problems of the life of the elderly were researched and the concepts and examples of active aging. The second, we looked at the concept of selfie, which has become a daily life of many people around the world, and the positive effects of life and through expert evaluation, the product line was distinguished according to the characteristics of the selfie-related products on the market and the best elements were discovered. The third, through an online survey of senior citizens aged 60 or older, they were segmented into four user groups based on their physical and personality characteristics and through in-depth interviews with each group, we found their needs. Finally, based on the findings so far, we proposed a new value of selfies for active aging of the elderly and a design strategy for product development.
