The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of full immersion virtual reality (VR) on the autonomic nervous system. The study was conducted with 17 men in their 20s. The subjects were given full immersion VR content, and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were measured for five minutes before and after the application of the full immersion VR. The autonomic nervous system was evaluated by analyzing the LF, HF, TP, and LF/HF ratio of the ECG signal. The obtained data was analyzed by conducting a paired sample t-test. After applying full immersion VR, the subjects' HF and TP decreased significantly, while their LF/HF ratio increased significantly. According to the results of this study, Full immersion VR provided stress to the autonomic nervous system, but the changes were within the normal range of healthy adults. Therefore, full immersion VR can be safely applied to healthy adults.

본 연구에서는 LAN 기반 환경에서 반물입 혹은 몰입형 가상현실 장비의 대표적인 형태인 수평형, 수직형, 정방형 시스템들을 연동하여 복합 공유가상환경을 구축하였다. 또한 간단한 인터랙션을 포함하는 어플리케이션을 개발하여 공유가상환경 내에 위치한 사용자가 서로 다른 형태의 인터랙션 장비를 이용하여 가상객체와 실시간 상호작용 할 수 있도록 하고, 그 결과를 가상환경 내에 있는 사용자가 공유할 수 있도록 하였다. 기존의 연구가 동기종간의 공유가상환경을 구축하거나 이기종간의 단방향 인터랙션을 지원하는데 비해 본 논문에서는 다기종간의 공유가상환경 구축 및 실시간 상호인터랙션 방법을 제안하고 있다.

본 논문에서는 가상현실에서 헤드 마운티드 디스플레이(Head mounted display, HMD) 사용자와 Non-HMD 사용자에게 사용자의 걷기, 뛰기, 절름발이 움직임을 몰입감 있게 표현하기 위한 새로운 가상현실(VR, Virtual Reality) 인터페이스를 제안한다. 가상현실에서는 몰입감을 높이기 위해 시각적 감각을 활용한 HMD와 사용자의 자세나 움직임을 추적하는 장비를 활용하지만, 일반적인 사용자들에게 HMD 보급은 많이 이루어져 있지 않으며, 비용적인 측면과 멀미로 인해 가상현실 콘텐츠에 몰입하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 몰입도를 높이고 비용적인 부담을 줄여주기 위해 아두이노를 활용한 새로운 보행 인터페이스 장치를 제안한다. 보행 인터페이스 장치는 사용자의 다리 가속도 정보를 기반으로 사용자의 상태 변화에 맞게 패턴을 설정하여 사용자의 걷기, 뛰기, 절름발이 움직임을 통해 사용자 캐릭터의 움직임을 제어하고 표현할 수 있는 새로운 결과를 보여준다.

Although various kinds of VR services are being carried out in the tourism field, The virtual reality experiences are still costly, since they could be realized in a limited space with some kinds of expensive equipment such as HMD. In this study, we propose a mobile virtual reality tourism experience using an easy and simple Google card board and user's smartphone because most tourist sites are outdoors and most of users like enjoying sightseeing and experience at the same time. For this purpose, we constructed a system that provides tourist information in real time employing both the IoT and VR techniques. Especially we develpoed a tourism contents for the UNESCO World Heritage Communities of Baekje Historical Site and Songsanri Tumulus. In addition, we virtually restored the royal palace in Gongju and confirmed the historical experience by VR flatform could be popular with people.

본 논문에서는 개발한 가상현실 게임의 소개와 적용기술에 대하여 서술하였다. 가상현실(Virtual Reality, VR) 게임은 기존의 게임과는 다른 몰입도와 평면을 넘은 가상의 공간, 활동적인 액션의 이점을 가지고 있고 사람들과 같이 활동적인 플레이를 더하기 위해 다중사용자 환경의 기반을 구현하고, 좀 더 활동적인 다중사용자 환경으로 만들기 위해 서로 경쟁하는 사격게임과 같이 협력하여 플레이해 나가는 디펜스게임을 개발하였다. 개발도구로는 에픽 게임스의 언리얼 엔진4 v4.19.2을 개발엔진으로 활용하였고, HTC Vive의 VR장비와 컨트롤러를 사용하여 다중사용자를 위한 VR 게임 콘텐츠를 개발하였다.

In this paper, we propose a system to walk around the world with virtual reality technology. Although the virtual reality users are interested in the virtual travel contents, the conventional virtual travel contents have limited space for experiencing and lack of interactivity. In order to solve the problem of lack of realism and limited space, which is a disadvantage of existing contents, this system created a virtual space using Google Street View image. Users can have realistic experience with real street images, and travel a vast area of the world provided by Google Street View image. Also, a virtual reality headset and a treadmill equipment are used so that the user can actually walk in the virtual space, which maxmizes user interactivity and immersion. We expect this system contributes to the leisure activities of virtual reality users by allowing natural walking trip from famous tourist spots to even mountain roads and alleys.

박물관은 문화유산을 직접 확인할 수 있는 역사교육의 산실로서 매우 중요한 역할을 함에도 불구하고 관람객이 지속적으로 감소하여 왔다. 이에 대한 주요 요인으로는 전시내용의 고정 및 콘텐츠의 부족, 일방적인 정보 전달에 치중함으로써 관람객의 흥미 유발을 이끌어 내지 못하는 것을 들 수 있다. 일부 박물관은 모바일 장비를 이용한 가상 및 증강현실 관람을 도입하고 있으나, 기술적인 한계와 조작의 불편함, 몰입도의 부족으로 인해 큰 효과를 보지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관람객이 재방문하고 싶은 박물관을 만들기 위해 혼합현실을 기반으로 한 박물관 전시 콘텐츠를 제작한다. 제작된 콘텐츠는 혼합현실을 이용함으로써 가상, 증강현실 콘텐츠보다 몰입감과 현실감을 높일 수 있다. 또한, 관람객과 상호작용할 수 있도록 혼합현실 기반 웨어러블 기기를 사용함으로써 생생한 전시물 체험을 할 수 있다.

The most natural way to increase immersion and provide free interaction in a virtual environment is to provide a gesture interface using the user's hand. However, most studies about hand gesture recognition require specialized sensors or equipment, or show low recognition rates. This paper proposes a three-dimensional DenseNet Convolutional Neural Network that enables recognition of hand gestures with no sensors or equipment other than an RGB camera for hand gesture input and introduces a virtual reality game based on it. Experimental results on 4 static hand gestures and 6 dynamic hand gestures showed that they could be used as real-time user interfaces for virtual reality games with an average recognition rate of 94.2% at 50ms. Results of this research can be used as a hand gesture interface not only for games but also for education, medicine, and shopping.

Recent, the number of consumers using home shopping are in increase. So, there have been a lot of effort to provide services that meet the consumer's eye level in each store. In particular, apparel stores have been conducted the research for virtual fitting room based on augmented reality technology that consumers can simulate in real time costumes that meet the tastes of consumers in online and offline market. In addition, some services has already progress. The general virtual fitting room simulator built the user interface based on OpenCV, augmented reality API, Kinect, and so on. But, it has the disadvantage that the equipment is expensive. In this paper, we have developed a 3D virtual fitting room simulator based on augmented reality technology using OpenCV and libsigc$^{++}$. This simulator can simulate easily in general home without any special equipment. This simulator is expected to be available very efficient in online and offline market as well as home shopping.

Education using Virtual Reality(VR) has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because it does not require expensive equipments and a large space in the field, and it enables effective education at a relatively low cost. The basic medical science curriculum(functional anatomy) is very important in the health sciences, but the students have many difficulties in understanding. The purpose of this study is to apply VR to basic medical science curriculum and to understand students' perception. The students were asked to directly experience the anatomy virtual reality program(3D Organon®) and to investigate the differences from other learning materials, such as understanding, concentration and interest. Overall, learning using VR showed high significance than other learning materials such as textbooks, models, and 3D application. Therefore, this study suggests the use of virtual reality in medical subjects such as anatomy classes.
