본 논문은 모바일 단말 환경에서 3D 가상공간상에 접속하여 작물재배, 가축사육 등을 체험 할 수 있는 환경을 제공할 수 있도록 한다. 기존의 웹 형태를 통한 온라인 농작물재배/가축사육 시뮬레이션에서는 각종 자료와 정지화상(사진이미지)를 제공하고 있으며 사용자는 웹 접속을 통하여 학습 및 게임을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 장소에서의 체험을 벗어나 이동환경인 모바일 단말에서도 3D 그래픽 기술을 통한 현실감있는 가상의 농장 환경을 제공하여, 작물재배에서부터 토지 환경까지 간단하고 직관적인 인터페이스로 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공하며, 농작물 재배가 실제 환경과 유사하도록 시뮬레이션 엔진을 구성하였다. 특히 Open GL 같은 범용 라이브러리가 탑재되지 못하는 저 사양의 모바일 단말을 위하여 3D 엔진을 자체적으로 구성하여 범용성을 도모하였다.

본 논문에서는 마이크로소프트의 홀로렌즈를 이용한 손 위치 추적 및 모션 인식과 아두이노를 통해 상황에 맞는 무게감을 사용자에게 전달할 수 있는 VR 인터페이스를 제안한다. 홀로렌즈는 혼합현실을 체험할 수 있지만 홀로렌즈를 이용해 가상의 물체를 잡았을 때 현실과의 물리적인 상호작용이 없기 때문에 현실감이 떨어져 몰입을 저하하는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 혼합현실에서 사용자의 몰입을 개선하기 위해 아두이노를 이용하여 사용자에게 무게감을 효율적으로 전달하여 현실과 같은 몰입을 줄 수 있는 도르래 방식의 VR 인터페이스를 제안한다.

A virtual rigid is modeled as the parallel structure of a virtual spring and a virtual damper. The reflective force from the virtual model is designed to be as large as possible to improve the realism of the virtual environment while maintaining the stable interaction. So, it is important to analyze the stability boundary of the virtual spring and damper. In the previous researches, the stability boundary is analyzed based on the zero-order-hold (ZOH) method, but it is analyzed based on the first-order-hold (FOH) method and the virtual damper in the paper. The boundary value of the stable virtual damper is inverse proportional to the sampling time and the maximum value of stable virtual stiffness is inverse proportional to the square of the sampling time. And the maximum value in the FOH method is increased to 110% of the value in the ZOH method. If the virtual damper is smaller than about 50% of the boundary value of the virtual damper in the FOH method, the stable virtual stiffness in the FOH method is several times larger than that in the ZOH method.

As Internet usages proliferate, the interests on cyber space and virtual community increase. The purpose of this study is to find the role of cognitive absorption as an intermediate variable. It is a variable that links factors that affect on members' usage of virtual community and cognitive absorption. The result of this study shows that challenges, skills, perceived reality, and needs affect the usage of virtual community through cognitive absorption, while only interactivity affects the usage of virtual community directly. This shows that cognitive absorption plays an important role in the usage of virtual community. The major contribution in this study is that cognitive absorption influences on the usage of virtual community greatly. If there is a way to increase the intensity of cognitive absorption, it will strongly help increase the performance of virtual community.

A virtual arthroscopy is a simulation of optical arthroscopy that reconstructs anatomical structures from tomographic images in joint region such as a knee, a shoulder and a wrist. In this paper, we propose a virtual arthroscopy based on isosurface raycasting, which is a kind of volume rendering methods for generating 3D images within a short time. Our method exploits a spatial data structure called min-max map to produce high-quality images in near real-time. Also we devise a physically-based camera control model using potential field. So a virtual camera can fly through in articular cavity without restriction. Using the high-speed rendering method and realistic camera control model, we developed a virtual arthroscopy system.

This presents an English conversation training system with which learners train their conversation skills in English, which makes them converse with native speaker characters in a virtual reality environment with voice. The proposed system allows the learners to talk with multiple native speaker characters in varous scenarios in the virtual reality environment. It recongizes voices spoken by the learners and generates voices by a speech synthesis method. The interaction with characters in the virtual reality environment in voice makes the learners immerged in the conversation situations. The scoring system which evaluates the learner's pronunciation provides the positive feedback for the learners to get engaged in the learning context.

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.

In order to enhance the realism of a virtual environment, a method of maximizing the stiffness of the virtual environment model is needed, which maintains the stability of the haptic system. In our previous research, we proposed a haptic system with a first order hold, instead of a zero order hold, and showed that the maximum available stiffness of a virtual spring with the first-order hold is larger than that with the zero-order hold. However, in terms of real system implementation, the zero order hold is a more common and easy method. In this paper, we propose an extrapolation method and a high frequency zero-order-hold output method in order to obtain the stability region using a zero order hold, which is equivalent to the method using the first-order-hold. The simulation results shows that the stability range of the virtual spring becomes almost the same as that of the method using the first order hold when the sampling period of the high frequency zero-order-hold method is decreased. Moreover, the stability range of the proposed method is several times to several tens of times greater than that of the method using the zero order hold only. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed method can enhance the realism of rigid bodies in a virtual environment.

In this study, the factors affecting reality aspect of virtual reality system were identified through Quality Function Deployment. The influence of some selected factors was evaluated in simulated performance test. It was shown that the factor of whether user can break through the objects in virtual space is the most sensitive to performance, followed by the factors of rotation angle and movement step. Also, the results implied that as more referents were provided to user, feeling of reality was enhanced.
