Abstract

Windows are essential and important architectural elements for the organization of architectural spaces, and they give character to the space and have a great impact on the reaction of users. Virtual windows are installed to activate architectural spaces such as underground spaces where windows cannot be installed, and to provide a sense of psychological security to users in hospital clinics, etc. In this study, we reviewed the literature and collected and analyzed the precedents of virtual windows to discuss the factors necessary to improve the realism of virtual windows. The factors that affect the realism of virtual windows are further grouped into five categories: 1. Use of reproduced images or videos for views, 2. Representation of temporality, 3. Responsiveness to changes in the observer's perspective, 4. Realistic reproduction of sunlight, and 5. Provision of non-visual sensory elements. Virtual windows are not just a replacement for traditional windows, but a way to realize a virtual environment using digital media, and it is necessary to expand the discussion to the realization of the virtual environment and the relationship with architectural elements.

창문은 건축공간이 구성되기 위해 필수적이고 중요한 건축요소이며 공간에 성격을 부여하고 이용자들의 반응에 큰 영향을 미친다. 가상창문은 창문의 설치가 불가능한 지하공간과 같은 건축공간을 활성화하고 병원의 진료실 등에서 사용자에게 심리적인 안정감을 제공하기 위하여 설치된다. 본 연구에서는 가상창문의 현실감 향상을 위하여 필요한 요소를 논의하기 위하여 문헌을 연구하고 가상창문의 선례를 수집하고 분석하였다. 가상창문의 현실감에 영향을 미치는 요소는 1. 조망을 위해 재현한 이미지나 영상의 사용, 2. 시간성의 표현, 3. 관측자의 시점 변화에 대한 반응성, 4. 일조의 사실적인 재현, 5. 비시각적 감각 요소의 제공의 5가지로 세부적으로 분류된다. 가상창문은 단순히 전통적인 창문을 대체하기 위한 것만 아니라 디지털 매체를 활용하여 가상환경을 구현하기 위한 하나의 방안이며 가상환경의 구현과 건축요소와의 관계성으로 논의의 영역을 확장할 필요가 있을 것이다.
