The purpose of the study is to explore a plan for effective education using virtual reality in English education. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the perception of English education using virtual reality was comprehensively investigated and analyzed for teachers(n=20) in the field of English education. The results of the study reveal the followings: 1) Teachers are positively aware of the necessity of English education using virtual reality, but most teachers complained of a psychological burden on education using virtual reality; 2) negative responses were somewhat higher than positive responses to the expectation that virtual reality-based English content would be practical in the educational field; 3) In order to increase the effectiveness of English education using virtual reality, it is necessary to share experiences for educational experience of virtual reality and need to provide various virtual reality contents; and 4) For virtual reality educational application, there is a high demand for teaching and learning method education and training using virtual reality and provision of guidelines for education using virtual reality.

In this paper, the goal is to investigate how manipulating the camera can minimize motion sickness and maximize immersion when a user moves in a virtual environment that requires vertical movement. In general, since a user uses virtual reality in a flat space, the actual movement of the user and the virtual movement are different, resulting in sensory conflict, which has the possibility of causing virtual reality motion sickness. Therefore, we propose three powerful camera manipulation techniques, implement them, and then propose which model is most appropriate through user experiments.

This study compared the muscle on-set time of fully immersive virtual reality motions with that of actual motions to if there difference. The subjects were 30 healthy adults subjects and compared the virtual reality moction group(punch, archery) and actual motion group(punch, archery) muscle on-set time. In this study, there was no significant difference between the virtual reality motion group and actual motion group muscle on-set time(p>0.05). Fully immersive virtual reality is deemed to be applicable for use in physical therapy. In future studies, it is necessary to investigate whether a fully immersive virtual reality can be applied to patients.

This study offers the possibility as a new product of souvenirs from cultural tourist sites with virtual reality contents, instead of a simple exhibit. Users can watch augmented reality contents on souvenirs, and use the virtual experience service of cultural tourist sites with VR viewer. It has 4K-class high-quality $360^{\circ}$ image capture to increase the immersion of users in virtual space, implement virtual reality space and intuitive UI interaction with users using IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). It is also possible to apply various add-on functions, including 3D contents, through technical development to increase its marketability, and apply in other industries. In addition, the prototype of the souvenir and VR viewer will be made by using a 3D printer and such in order to apply the contents which will be introduced in this study. Various product expansions can be considered through consultation with the relevant companies for the use of ready-made products.

Nursing education using virtual reality simulation (VRS) has emerged as a new teaching method for improving nursing student's knowledge as well as of competency for clinical nursing skill. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of nursing education using VRS through an integrative analysis on quantitative and qualitative research. Through quality assessment on the total 382 studies, 17studies (12 quantitative and 5 qualitative) were finally selected. Contents of the 17 studies were reviewed and those with respect to four aspects were gathered: the condition, knowledge, and attitude for effective education using VRS, and the effects of nursing education using VRS on the practice. Readiness of the use of virtual reality device, mastsering of the platform, and interesting scenario were required condition for effective education. The effects of nursing education adopting virtual reality convergence simulation oin terms of knowledge, attitude, and practice included enhancement of the knowledge and extension of the knowledge, improvement in memorizing the process and sequence of the practice through repetitive education, and development of empathy ability and formation of rapport. Hence, adopting virtual reality to convergence simulation of nursing education can maximize the effect of the education.

Virtual reality items are increased take-all type of markets like Universal, such as the United States as a leader in the virtual reality technology. Multi-user have to get direct experiences with the whole body like visual, tactile, hearing, sense of movement, and it must be developed new forms of content platform to enjoy immerse deeply into the content. Visitors are not to enjoy the content passively but rather to enjoy the content actively. So it like that should develope content to maximize the immersion. It need the development of new forms of mixed 5D virtual reality Attraction content with all of factors like $360^{\circ}$ circle vision, stereoscopic images, interaction, simulator, and the environmental effect. We proposes how to make the color and brightness calibration technology for this purpose.

This study developed an English conversation learning program in immersive virtual reality (VR) environments and compared its effects with non-immersive VR environment using a computer monitor. The effects of the program was assessed using language anxiety and learning achievement. The results indicated that students' language anxiety decreased significantly after learning English conversation in VR environment, but there was no difference between immersive and non-immersive VR. The two VR conditions also produced similar learning outcomes. Future research on immersive VR need to address cyber sickness problems and develop effective learning contents in order to realize its potential for learning.
