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.

최근 현대사회의 가족체제 변화로 인해 유아 보육의 수요와 보육 시설이 급증함으로써 양질의 보육 환경에 대한 요구가 점차 증가하고 있다. 유아기는 성인과 비교할 때 정서가 불안정하고 급변하는 시기이며 특히 시각 및 청각을 통한 자극에 더욱 민감하므로 유아 시기의 보육 환경은 성장 이후 지적 사회적 발달에 큰 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 또한 유아의 보육 활동 유형에 따라 이러한 두 가지 이상의 감각을 동시에 자극하게 되면 감각의 통합과 상호작용으로 편안함과 집중력을 향상하는 효과를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 만 3~5 세의 유아를 대상으로 양질의 보육 환경 제공을 위해 '수면', '학습', '놀이', '식사 및 휴식'을 포함한 네 가지 보육 활동 유형을 상황 정보로 정의하고 각 상황에 적합한 시각 및 청각 환경을 복합적으로 서비스하기 위한 다감각 시스템을 제안한다.

In architecture, Sensibility is the most basic thing in the environmental cognition. Emotion is the phychological or cognitive phenomenon of sensory changes. A cross-causal relationship is formed between the two, and they have a consensus in contact with humans and environment. Sensibility ever to serve as bundle and cognize as mutual superposition. Humans unconsciously perceive through the synesthesia that integrated all the senses. In this study, it has been identified as a result of the study, the architectural design through the sense must be design to the multisensory experience of the emotional design. Depending on the times change, it can know that the gradual changes based on the anthropocentric sense and sensibility. Emotional design in architecture shall ensure that a variety of experience through the multisensory. In this emotional design, multisensory design (or various sensory function) -visual & tactory or visual & auditory etc.- is required beyond the limitation of conventional visual concenturated. Therefore, In order to achieve the demands of the modern social objectives of sympathy or empathy for the human-centered design sensibility, the visual perception as well as a variety of sensory must be recognized that a combination of cognitive and functional. And the application of multisensory design is required to aim the synesthesia cognition.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to study the effects of multisensory environment interventions, to provide information about clinical applications, and to aid South Korean research on the multisensory environment. Methods : PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were used to search for papers published from 2008 to 2018. The main search terms were "multisensory environment" and "snoezelen", a total of 10 foreign research articles were selected. And they were summarized according to Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO). Results : Among the 10 papers, 6 included participants with dementia. The other studies examined patients with intellectual disabilities, patients with schizophrenia, and pregnant women. The study periods ranged from 3 weeks to 10 months. Most of the interventions included 2 or 3 sessions per week. The duration of each intervention session was 30 to 60 minutes. The dependent variables were psychological factors (such as anxiety and depression), social factors (such as quality of life), and cognitive and physical domains. The multisensory environment used for the interventions in the studies consisted of visual, auditory, and tactile senses, as well as additional olfactory and taste sensations, and vestibular sensations. Conclusion : In the future, the research should be applied to various target groups, especially children, who are interested in multisensory environmental intervention in South Korea.

Objective : Multisensory integration (MSI) is the essential process to use diverse sensory information for cognitive task or execution of motor action. Especially, visual and somatosensory integration is critical for motor behavior and coordination. This study was designed to explain spatial and temporal characteristics of visual and somatosensory integration by neurophysiological research method that identifies the time course and brain location of the SI process. Methods : Electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potential (ERP) is used in this study in order to observe neural activities when integrating visual and tactile input. We calculate the linear summation (SUM) of visual-related potentials (VEPs) and somatosensory-related potentials (SEPs), and compared the SUM with simultaneously presented visual-tactile ERPs(SIM) Results : There were significant differences between the SIM and SUM in later time epochs (about 200-300ms) at contralateral somatosensory areas (C4) and occipital cortices (O1&O2). The amplitude of the SIM was mathematically larger than the summed signals, implying that the integration made some extra neural activities. Conclusion : This study provides some empirical neural evidence of that multisensory integration is more powerful than just combing two unisensory inputs in the brain and ERP data reveals neural signature relating to multisensory integrative process. Since this study is preliminary pilot study, larger population and criteria are needed for level of the significance. Further study is recommended to consider issues including effect of internally-driven attention and laterality of interaction to make the evidence by this study solid.

Digilog Book lets users feel analog book and digital contents by combining each advantage of analog sensibility and digital sensation. This paper mentions about technical details for implementing an example of Digilog book: a temple bell experience system. Our system includes providing multisensory feedback to users, substituting fiducial marker with figure marker, presenting visual effect when a temple bell appearing on a 2D plane, pushing augmented buttons using bare fingers for observation of the bell, and lastly pointing a specific part of the bell for obtaining description on that part. The implemented temple bell experience system can motivate users to experience cultural heritages of our country as educational contents.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of multi-sensory treatment programs on attention and learning in ADHD children. Methods : The program was provided for 50 minutes twice a week for a total of 12 times over 6 weeks. The FAIR concentration test was used to identify the children's concentration of attention before and after the intervention. The children's learning ability was evaluated using K-ABC. Results : When attention was evaluated using FAIR, there was a significant increase in all dependencies of performance value (P), quality value (Q), and continuity value (C) (p>.05). In addition, when learning ability was evaluated using K-ABC, learning ability in general increased significantly (p>.05). The multi-sensory play therapy program had a positive effect on the children's attention and learning ability and thus it is a positive intervention method for children with ADHD. Conclusion : In addition to providing challenging activities, the program showed that it was possible to elicit the children's interest by engaging a variety of senses at the same time. This is believed to have motivated them internally to engage actively in the program.

The inconsistency in different sensory information causes virtual reality (VR) sickness. This research verifies whether the consistent sensory information reduces VR sickness within treadmill-based virtual reality. Furthermore, we examined the inconsistency between the visually perceived walking speed by optical flow in VR and the physically perceived walking speed in treadmill walking on VR sickness. In Experiment 1, participants reported VR sickness levels while experiencing an increase in the virtual reality. We compared the VR sickness level reported on the standing still condition with that on the treadmill-walking condition. Based on our results, less VR sickness and more sense of presence and immersion were reported on the treadmill-walking condition than on the standing still condition. In Experiment 2 and Experiment 3, the effect of inconsistency between perceived visual speed and perceived walking speed on VR sickness was examined. Interestingly, participants reported less sickness when the perceived visual speed was faster than the perceived walking speed, compared to when the sense of speed was consistent. These results imply that allowing participants to walk on a treadmill while experiencing virtual reality reduces VR sickness. Hence, the perceived visual-walking speed consistency is not necessarily required to reduce VR sickness.
