The most of virtual reality headset have the separated controllers while they put on the headset; so the users may feel the discomfort and burden for the operation. In this paper, a novel virtual reality headset system using the EOG (electro-oculogram) is proposed and it has a distinguished feature that the user does not need to control the virtual reality headset by the hands, but the displayed contents are controllable by the electrical activity of the user's brain. The proposed system consist of the mobile device, a virtual reality headset, and an EOG headset for data acquisition. The system is implemented by using the Unity3D engine for the signal processing and controller, and the concept is confirmed through the implementation that it is more interesting and easier to control the virtual reality headset.

선진국 스마트폰 시장이 포화상태에 도달함에 따라 주요 IT기업들의 차세대 IT 비즈니스 발굴이 큰 화두다. 차세대 IT 비즈니스의 주목할만한 후보군 중 하나는 가상현실(VR: Virtual Reality)이다. 최근 고해상도 디스플레이, 강력한 컴퓨팅 파워, 3D센싱 등의 기술이 비약적으로 발달하고 하드웨어 비용이 크게 하락함에 따라 드디어 일반 사용자들을 대상으로 유의미한 수준의 '몰입감'과 '상호작용'을 제공할 수 있는 환경이 조성됐다. 현재 삼성전자, 소니, 엡슨 등의 대기업들이 VR 헤드셋 개발에 뛰어들었으며 뷰직스(Vuzix), 아 베간트(Avegant), 버추익스(Virtuix), 시브라이트(Seebright) 등의 가상현실 벤처기업들이 크게 주목을 받으면서 해당 업체들에 투자하겠다는 문의가 쇄도하고 있는 실정이다. 향후 가상현실 시장은 기업들에게 엄청난 비즈니스 기회를 제공할 것으로 전망된다. 단지 VR 헤드셋이나 관련 기기의 매출보다는 가상공간에서 사용자들이 소비하는 시간과 비용이 중요하다. 기존 오프라인, 온라인의 비즈니스 모델과 수익 모델 대부분을 가상현실에서 구현할 수 있다. 사람들은 앞으로 현실환경의 모든 오브젝트와 연결돼 상호작용을 하고, 또한 가상환경의 모든 오브젝트와 연결돼 상호작용을 하게 될 것이다. 그것이 진정한 사물인터넷과 가상현실이다.

본 논문에서는 사실적인 총기의 메커니즘을 반영한 가상현실(이하 VR) 사격 연습 게임의 설계 및 구현을 제안한다. 이 게임은 사용자가 VR 헤드셋을 착용하고 모션 컨트롤러를 이용하여 실제 총기를 손에 쥐고 발사하는 듯 한 현실감을 주기 위해 사실적인 그래픽과 주변 환경 뿐만 아니라, 총기의 반동이나 노리쇠의 움직임, 장전을 포함한 여러 가지 사실적인 총기 작동을 구현하고, 게임이라는 본질에 맞게 스코어 시스템과 같이 사용자의 흥미를 유발하는 요소를 개발하여 VR 응용 소프트웨어의 가능성을 최대한 활용한다.

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.

Virtual reality technology is a new practical technology developed in the 20th century. In recent years, the related industry is rapidly developing due to the continuous development and improvement of virtual reality (VR) technology, and various image contents that are realistic through the use of virtual reality technology provide users with a better visual experience. In addition, it has excellent characteristics in terms of interaction and imagination, so a bright prospect can be expected in the field of video content production. This paper introduced the types of display of VR video, technology, and how users view VR video at the current stage. In addition, the difference in resolution between the past VR equipment and the current equipment was compared and analyzed, and the reason why the resolution affects the VR image was explored. Among the future development of VR video, we will present some development directions and provide convenience to people.

Failure situations occur frequently in the industry, and the existing 2D-based manual for this purpose is not intuitive to understand and it is difficult to immediately interact with maintenance experts. In this paper, we propose a technology that enables workers to perform maintenance in real time with the help of experts without restrictions in time and place based on augmented reality when a failure situation occurs at a remote location. A local virtual human-based expert diagnoses a failure situation based on an adapted panoramic image of a remote failure situation while wearing an HMD headset, and gives instructions to a remote operator. In addition, in an augmented reality (AR) environment in a remote location, for the interaction between the operator and the expert, the HMD's microphone is used to create the expert's hand as well as verbal communication. You can use to point or draw a picture. If this technology is used, it is possible to overcome the limitations of the existing 2D-based manual, and to provide assistance in performing maintenance smoothly remotely even if an expert does not directly visit a remote location.

In this paper, pilot flight training procedure of VFR (Visual Flight Rule) flight procedure was investigated through basic aviation training device (BATD) using VR HMD (Virtual Reality Head Mount Display). In order to evaluate the efficiency of the pilot training, the experimental pilot group was divided according to the similar piloting ability, then same VFR flight procedure was carried out using both the VR BATD and the conventionl BATD. The comparison of the X, Y and Z position of the aircraft from the extracted flight data was conducted. As a result, it was confirmed that the VR BATD shows better steering training efficiency tendency than the conventional BATD.

Due to the spread of AR/VR headset, AR/VR contents market gains huge interests. However, various obstacles such as discomfort that restricts usability and absence of standard to evaluate usability block the growth of AR/VR contents industry. To overcome these problems, this study tries to develop an evaluation scheme for the usability of R/VR contents and a prototype system. The proposed evaluation system divides usability related items into safety and convenience items and performs evaluation by item through automatic and experience evaluation by system and experts/experience teams according to characteristics, and comprehensively evaluates the usability of AR/VR content. In this study, a detailed process fo usability evaluation and the prototype system are developed to verify the evaluation scheme. Developed scheme is expected to help the AR/VR content industry overcome the usability issues, and develop high-quality AR/VR content.
