초록

AR/VR 헤드셋의 대중화로 인하여 AR/VR 콘텐츠 산업이 많은 관심을 받고 있으나, 콘텐츠의 사용성을 저해하는 불편함이 산업의 성장에 나쁜 영향을 주고 있다. 본 연구는 이를 개선하기 위하여 AR/VR 콘텐츠의 사용성 평가를 위한 체계를 설계하고 해당 체계를 구동하기 위한 프로토타입 시스템의 구축을 시도하였다. 제안된 평가체계는 AR/VR 콘텐츠의 사용성에 연관된 다양한 항목을 개별적으로 평가한 후, 이를 종합하여 통합 사용성을 평가하는 체계이다. 이를 위하여 사용성에 관련된 항목을 안전성과 편의성 및 세부 항목에 맞추어 분류하고, 각 항목을 평가하기 위한 기준과 각 항목 및 요소의 중요도를 도출하는 방법, 그리고 이를 통합하여 최종 사용성을 평가하는 프로세스를 제안하였으며, 체계적 평가 수행을 위한 프로토타입 시스템을 구축하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 AR/VR 콘텐츠의 사용성 검증 기능 외에도 콘텐츠 제작 지침으로 작동하여 산업의 진흥에 크게 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Due to the spread of AR/VR headset, AR/VR contents market gains huge interests. However, various obstacles such as discomfort that restricts usability and absence of standard to evaluate usability block the growth of AR/VR contents industry. To overcome these problems, this study tries to develop an evaluation scheme for the usability of R/VR contents and a prototype system. The proposed evaluation system divides usability related items into safety and convenience items and performs evaluation by item through automatic and experience evaluation by system and experts/experience teams according to characteristics, and comprehensively evaluates the usability of AR/VR content. In this study, a detailed process fo usability evaluation and the prototype system are developed to verify the evaluation scheme. Developed scheme is expected to help the AR/VR content industry overcome the usability issues, and develop high-quality AR/VR content.
