Abstract

In this research, a VR game was developed to experience the fire evacuation from a fired building, intending calm and fast reaction in urgent fire situations. The user should move out through the fire door, stairs and corridors toward exit door using the VIVE controllers. When the user can't proceed the path because of fire flame or smoke, he/she should turn back to find another path. A building of Hoseo university was modeled and tests were carried out by students with polls focused on the usability and the effectiveness of this VR game. The result has been analyzed to show their responses.

본 연구에서는 건물 화재의 위급한 현장 속에서 침착하면서도 신속하게 탈출해야하는 상황을 가상 체험하는 VR 기능성 게임을 개발하였다. 사용자는 바이브(VIVE) 양손 컨트롤러를 이용하여 화재 건물 속에서 방화문과 계단, 복도을 통해 출구로 탈출해야한다. 화염이나 연기로 인하여 더 이상 진행하지 못하면 돌아서서 다른 통로로 진행할 수 있다. 호서대의 한 건물을 모델링 하였으며, 학생들에게 본 게임을 체험시키고 사용성과 효과성을 중심으로 설문 조사하여 그 반응 결과를 분석하였다.
