Abstract

Virtual reality is a combination of various studies, such as programming, simulation, and computer graphics. This type of new cultural paradigm requires novel concept of contents development and information exchange. This research uses 3D virtual reality technology in new equipment called I-Bench Mobile which let user to interact with the equipment for completing furniture disposition task. The simulation is manufactured in 3D with application of physics, and the ultimate goal of it is to increase customers' satisfaction by allowing them to enjoy snap shot function for arranging furniture at exact desired place. This research requires not only coding techniques but also educating process in both engineering and art, such as computer science, media art design, and visual communication; therefore, the development of software by facilitating Virtual/Augmented Reality technology in this research is a good example of fusion IT technique education.

가상현실은 프로그래밍, 시뮬레이션, 컴퓨터 그래픽스 등 다양한 학문의 종합체이며 이러한 형태의 새로운 문화적 패러다임의 등장은 우리에게 새로운 개념의 콘텐츠 개발 방법과 정보교류방식을 요구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 3D 가상현실 기술을 이용하여 I-Bench Mobile 이라는 새로운 장비를 통해 사용자와 인터렉티브가 가능한 가구배치 시뮬레이션을 제안한다. 이것은 3D로 제작이 되며 물리 및 중력을 적용한다는 점에 강점을 두며, 또한 스냅샷 기능을 통해 고객들이 가구를 자신이 원하는 장소에 배치하여 궁극적으로 고객 만족도 향상을 목표로 하고 있다. 가상증강현실기술을 이용한 소프트웨어를 개발하는 본 연구 과정은 공학계열의 컴퓨터학과와 예술계열의 영상 예술 디자인학과, 시각 디자인 학과와 같은 다양한 학과들에서 다루는 교육과정의 작업이 필요하므로 단지 코딩 기술이 아닌 여러 학문의 기술들이 함께 어우러진 융합 IT기술 교육의 좋은 사례라고 할 수 있다.
