본 논문은 가상현실 어플리케이션을 제작하기 위한 가상세계 저작도구인 VRAT(Virtual Reality Authoring Tool)의 설계 및 구현에 대해 기술한다. VRAT는 3D desktop, immersive, reflexive metaphor를 지원하며 실시간 3D 센서 시스템과 폴리곤 렌더링 시스템을 기반으로 객체 지향적인 가상현실 운영시스템, 가상세계 데이터베이스, GUI를 통한 저작시스템으로 구성된다. 이들 하부 시스템은 완전히 결합되어 있어서 VRAT시스템을 사용한 응용프로그램의 수행중에 기존의 3D CAD 시스템등에서 제작한 모델을 가상세계내에 배치하고 이들에 행위양식을 부여하는 태스크를 지정하거나 입력장치인 센서를 모델이나 시점에 연결하여 조종하는 것이 가능하다. 제안된 시스템은 범용성과 이식성을 고려하여 UNIX와 X-Window 시스템을 기반으로 X11, GL, PIXRECT, VGA 그래픽 하부 시스템과 SGI, SUN, HP 등의 워크스테이션과 PC 상에서 구현되었다.

가상현실 시뮬레이터는 교육과 지식의 전달을 위한 도구로 발전하고 있으며, 과학교육 및 문화체험을 위한 첨단과학전시시스템의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 동역학적 계산을 기반으로 하는 기존의 가상현실 시뮬레이터는 컨텐츠의 변경이 어려운 단점이 있으며, 효과적인 지식전달 및 흥미 유발을 위해서는 운동감뿐만 아니라 다감각을 동원한 체감 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 체감형 전시 시스템에 적합한 운동감 생성 방법과, 다감각 동원 가상현실효과 시스템을 설계하고 통합하였다. 제안된 방법은 영상의 시점변화를 기반으로 한 운동감 생성과, 미리 저장된 모션 라이브러리를 이용한 운동감 효과를 동시에 적용할 수 있으며, 관객의 상호작용에 의한 운동감 효과를 쉽게 추가할 수 있다. 관객의 다양한 감각을 이용한 가상현실 효과를 위하여 체감형 전시 시스템에 적합한 다양한 다감각 효과의 적용 방안을 모색하고, 효율적인 다감각 효과를 선정하여 실제 시스템에 적용하였다. 이를 통하여 체감형 전시를 위한 가상현실 효과 시스템의 기본 구조를 정립하였다.

This paper concerns fast and time accurate HW/SW cosimulation for MPSoC(Multi-Processor System-on-chip) architecture where multiple software and/or hardware components exist. It is becoming more and more common to use MPSoC architecture to design complex embedded systems. In cosimulation of such architecture, as the number of the component simulators participating in the cosimulation increases, the time synchronization overhead among simulators increases, thereby resulting in low overall cosimulation performance. Although SystemC cosimulation frameworks show high cosimulation performance, it is in inverse proportion to the number of simulators. In this paper, we extend the novel technique, called virtual synchronization, which boosts cosimulation speed by reducing time synchronization overhead: (1) SystemC simulation is supported seamlessly in the virtual synchronization framework without requiring the modification on SystemC kernel (2) Parallel execution of component simulators with virtual synchronization is supported. We compared the performance and accuracy of the proposed parallel SystemC cosimulation framework with MaxSim, a well-known commercial SystemC cosimulation framework, and the proposed one showed 11 times faster performance for H.263 decoder example, while the accuracy was maintained below 5%.

It seems necessary to have a new methodology to develop the complex embedded system in a short time with a small amount of money and secure the reliability of products. For this in this study, the investigator presents the state-of-the-art technology with which the limitation of physical prototyping and virtual prototyping can be overcome. Also as a developing methodology of the em-bedded system in which the new technology is applied, the investigator suggests a new methodology of developing process for the integrated design, integrated simulation, and debugging of the physical prototyping and the virtual prototyping.

Purpose: This study aims to understand the online practice experience of nursing students through virtual simulation in order to prepare basic data for online practice program development. Methods: This study is a descriptive study that applied a qualitative thematic analysis method to explore the online practice experiences of nursing students. It was targeted to 16 students in the department of nursing at a university. Results: As a result, 5 themes such as 'Feeling ambivalent about the online practice', 'Doubts about the effectiveness of online practice', 'Running into the limits of online practice', 'Feeling like a virtual simulation as an alternative', and 'Approaching true nursing' Conclusion: Virtual simulation is considered a very effective online practice program. However, since the lack of various scenarios and cases is pointed out as a limitation, it is necessary to develop and apply more diverse and systematic practice programs in future research.

Realistic education using virtual reality compared to traditional learning can enhance students' understanding of knowledge through immersion and interaction. In previous studies, VR education is mainly focused on experiences, and it is difficult to find its applications for environmental education. Environmental issues are a global problem, and environmental education is essential for the future. In this research, we developed an immersive virtual reality-based environmental education simulation designed to help students recognize the importance of environmental education and participate in environmental-friendly actions. This simulation is based on the virtual ecosystem model, which maintains a casual relationship among environmental factors, spatio-temporal connection, and persistent state. Users intuitively recognize environmental problems and is motivated to solve the problem while experiencing the results of interaction related to environmental factors in virtual environment.

The purpose of this study is to construct a virtual reality simulation environment for searching and evaluating evaluation criteria for road safety facilities with new technologies. Virtual reality simulation requires high realism and accurate behavior data extraction. To do this, we used the Unreal Engine to create the environment by dividing it into an external environment and a vehicle environment. After that, a sample simulation for the luminescent road markers and preliminary experiments were conducted. As a result, luminescent road markers showed better 5m interval than 10m interval. It can be confirmed that it can be used in the simulation for searching the evaluation criteria for the new road safety facilities that incorporate the new technology in the future. In the future, it will be possible to simulate various environments by adding modeling and sample components for other road facilities.

This study examined the effect of convergence action learning based virtual simulation program for nursing college students. The study was carried out according a nonequivalent control group design. The study subjects were 54 nursing college students. The data collection period was from April 12, 2021 to June 18, 2021. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS PC+ 23.0. The experimental group had significantly different to communication skills, and clinical competency in comparison to the control group. This suggests that the convergence action learning based virtual simulation program can be applied as a way to increase nursing students' communication skills, and clinical competency.
