Software architectures may be described using text-based architecture description language(ADL). The key goals of an ADL are to communicate alternate designs between different stakeholders, to detect reusable structures, and to record design decisions. This paper provided a solution to the representation problem by creating a tool for three-dimensional representation of architectural viewpoints. The tool consisted of an architecture description language(VTADL) to first describe the software architectures and viewpoints on the architectures; and a VTADL-to-VRML translator to translate each viewpoint into a separate virtual reality world The goal of the paper was to devise algorithms for translating an ADL into effective VRML representations based on the desired viewpoint. The VRML representations were intended to enhance comprehension on the overall design and to improve communications between diverse stakeholders.

VR (Virtual reality) technologies have given engineers the ability to design, test, and evaluate engineering systems in a virtual environment. The virtual plant is the highlight of the application of the VR technology to plant engineering. Plant design, maintenance, control, management, operation are integrated in the virtual plant. The VR monitoring system including the concept of the virtual plant is developed to replace a current control room that has number of gages and warning lamps in two-dimensional panels which shows the operating status of a plant. The operating status of the plant is displayed in the VR monitoring system through the realistic computer graphics. Sophisticated, realistic and prompt control becomes possible. The VR monitoring system consists of advanced visualization, walk-through simulation and navigation. In the virtual environment, a user can navigate and interact with each component of a plant. In addition, the user can access the information by just clicking interesting component. The VR monitoring system is operated with various modules, such as (1) virtual plant constructed with Graphic Management System (GMS), (2) Touch & Tell System, and (3) Equipment DB System of Part. In order to confirm the usefulness of the VR monitoring system, a pilot gas plant which is currently being used for plant operator training is taken as application. The end of the paper gives an outlook on the future work and a brief conclusion.

수화는 청각장애인이 주로 사용하는 시각적인 언어이다. OpenGL 기반의 가상현실 공간을 배경으로 하여 청각장애인들이 쉽게 이해할 수 있는 수화 아바타의 움직임을 구현하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 수화 동작 데이터베이스를 구축하는 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스를 개발한다. 개발한 시스템에서는 아바타의 사실적인 표현과 친근감을 강조하기 위해 3D MAX 기반의 인체 아바타 모델의 픽셀 값을 ASE를 사용하여 C언어 코드로 변환함으로써 인간과 거의 비슷한 모델을 생성하였다. 손 모양 편집프로그램은 슬라이드 바를 사용하여 21개의 손 관절 각도를 조정할 수 있으며, 손 모양 코드번호와 손 모양 이름을 지정하여 수화단어 편집프로그램에서 사용하는 손 모양 데이터 형식으로 저장할 수 있다. 수화단어 편집프로그램은 수화단어 데이터 형식의 값을 설정하는 기능과 함께 손 모양 대칭복사, 검색, 추가, 수정, 삭제 기능을 제공함으로써 사용자가 손 모양을 쉽게 편집할 수 있도록 하였다. 손 모양 편집프로그램과 수화단어 편집프로그램을 사용하여 구성한 데이터베이스를 기반으로 수화 아바타가 가상현실 공간에서 인간과 유사한 움직임을 표현할 수 있도록 하였다.

Virtual Reality is the technique which makes the man experience the similar interaction behavior to the experience in the real world through virtual space. The users participating in the 3D virtual space using virtual reality technique can have the various experiences in the space desired without restrictions on time and space and then it has been applied in many application areas such as video industry, entertainment simulator, medical treatment, construction and design. The area of video among them has been highlighted as a high-added value industry. Therefore this study classifies video industry into four including movie, broadcasting, advertisement and internet and is to examine their characteristics, application cases and developmental potential. In the industry using virtual reality technique in video industry, it is implied for special elect in the area of movie and for providing the various graphic virtual word to audiences with the introduction of virtual studio and character in the area of broadcasting. It can give audiences a synergy effect by inserting 3D advertisement into virtual space in the area of advertisement. Also the implementation of 3D virtual reality such as virtual museum, virtual model house, virtual home shopping and entertainment on the web is possible with the emergence of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and it plays the roles of more entertainments. Accordingly, this study is to seek the application methods using virtual reality technique in video industry.

In this paper, we implement an Android application for infant language education using marker-based augmented reality. Combining animal word markers (noun), size/color word markers (adjective), and action word markers (verb) in puzzle form to make a simple sentence, the application shows virtual contents related to the content of the sentence. For example, when an animal marker is showed up on a camera, the corresponding animal appears. Additionally, when the motion markers are combined, the animal's appearance changes into an animation in which it acts. When a user touched a marker, user can hear the sound of the word, which gives an auditory effect, and by adding the rotation function, user can see the animation in any direction. Our goal is to increase infants' interest in learning language and also increase the effectiveness of education on the meaning of words and the structure of simple sentences, by encouraging them to actively participate in language learning through visual and auditory stimuli.

Collaboration has become essential in the product design process due to internationalized and specialized business environments. This study presents a real-time collaborative 3D design workspace for distributed designers, focusing on the development and the evaluation of new interaction techniques supporting nonverbal communication such as awareness of participants, shared manipulation and tele-presence. Requirements were identified in terms of shared objects, shared workspaces and awareness through literature reviews and an observational study. An Augmented Reality based collaborative design workspace was developed, in which two main interaction techniques, Turn-table and Virtual Shadow, were incorporated to support shared manipulation and tele-presence. Turn-table provides intuitive shared manipulation of 3D models and physical cues for awareness of remote participants. Virtual shadow supports natural and continuous awareness of location, gestures and pointing of partners. A lab-based evaluation was conducted and the results showed that interaction techniques effectively supported awareness of general pointing and facilitated discussion in 3D model reviews. The workspace and the interaction techniques can facilitate more natural communication and increase the efficiency of collaboration on virtual 3D models between distributed participants (designer-designer, engineer, or modeler) in collaborative design environments.

Despite the increasing popularity of wireless sensor network, indoor positioning using low power IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio had attracted an interest of many researchers in the last decade. Old fashionable indoor location sensing information has been presented in dull and unpleasant 2D image standard. This paper focused on visualizing high precision 3 dimensional RSSI-based (received signal strength indication) spatial sensing information in an interactive virtual reality on PDA. The developed system operates by capturing and extracting signal strength information at multiple pre-defined reference nodes to provide information in the area of interest, thus updating user's location in 3D indoor virtual map. VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) which specifically developed for 3D objects modeling is utilized to design 3D indoor environment.

컴퓨터 게임의 발달은 오프라인 PC 게임에서 인터넷의 보급으로 인해 온라인 게임으로 발전하였다. 그 후 인터넷 환경은 유선 환경뿐만 아니라 무선 환경에서도 무선 단말기를 이용하여 게임 서비스가 가능한 수준에 이르렀다. 그러나 적은 메모리와 낮은 수준의 처리능력을 가지고 있는 제한적인 모바일 환경의 특성으로 유선 인터넷에서와 같이 멀티미디어를 포함한 다양한 형태의 정보제공 및 인터렉티브한 모바일 게임이 어려운 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 WAP(Wireless Application Protocol)을 기반으로 하여 다운로드 솔루션을 채택한 GVM(General Virtual Machine) 상에서 실행될 수 있는 모바일 게임을 설계하고 MobileC 언어를 사용하여 제작하였다. 또한, 모바일 게임을 설계하고 제작하는 과정을 통해서 단말기의 제한적인 실행환경에서 최대한의 효과를 나타낼 수 있는 개발 모델을 제시하고자 한다. GVM은 무선 단말기 상에서 동적인 응용프로그램을 실행할 수 있는 가상기계 플랫폼이다.
