Although 3D stereoscopic movies had been paid attention to a few times since the 1900's, the interest had not been last. Most researchers pointed out the reason came from human factors because the early in the 3D technology growth had to develop technological possibility to realize 3D videos and ignore the importance viewers' perspective. In the 2D video research, many studies have explored the factors which make people got immersed or involved and felt visual fatigue, but they have not been the main issues in the 3D research until now. The present research believes human factor issue is one of the most important parts to accelerate 3D industry and thus, we try to make reliable and valid assessments to evaluate 3D video which are perceived characteristics, impression, and presence.

Places exposed to mass media induce behavior by forming curiosity and expectations for potential travelers. The places reported through mass media influence viewers. Among TV programs, the most influential genre is drama, and reality programs that provide immersion with different characteristics from dramas influence viewers' choice of destination. CVM is mainly used for estimating the value of objects that cannot be evaluated in the market, such as tourist destinations. This study conducted an economic valuation of filming locations for dramas and travel entertainment programs using CVM, and then compared and analyzed the research results of the two filming locations. Linear and log logit analysis were performed to measure the willingness to pay for the filming location of the drama/travel entertainment program, and the payment amount was derived. The conclusion of the study is that as the travel cost required to visit the filming location of the drama/travel entertainment program increased, the intention to visit decreased. The amount payable when visiting the filming location of the drama/travel entertainment program was higher than the average consumption amount for a day trip, and the amount payable for the drama was higher than that of visiting the filming location of the travel entertainment program.

This study was conducted to implement Joseon Dynasty conversational style using the ChatGPT API to enhance the immersion of games set in the Joseon era. The research focuses on interactions between middle-class players and other classes. Two methods were employed: learning the dialogues from historical dramas set in the Joseon Dynasty and learning the sentence endings typical of the period. The method of learning sentence endings was rated higher based on self-evaluation criteria. Reflecting this, prompts were constructed to represent NPC dialogues in the game settings of the Joseon era. Additionally, a method was proposed for creating various NPC prompts using prompt combination techniques. This study can serve as a reference for NPC dialogue creation in games set in the Joseon Dynasty.

Conditional autonomous vehicles should hand over control to the driver according on driving situations. However, if the driver is immersed in a non-driving task, the driver may not be able to make suitable decisions. Previous studies have confirmed that the cues enhance take-over performance with a directional information on driving. However, studies on the effect of take-over cues on the driver's brain activities are rigorously investigated yet. Therefore, this study we evaluates the driver's brain activity according to the take-over cue. A total of 25 participants evaluated the take-over performance using a driving simulator. Brain activity was evaluated by functional near-infrared spectroscopy, which measures brain activity through changes in oxidized hemoglobin concentration in the blood. It evaluates the activation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in the brain region. As a result, it was confirmed that the driver's PFC was activated in the presence of the cue so that the driver could stably control the vehicle. Since this study results confirmed that the effect of the cue on the driver's brain activity, and it is expected to contribute to the study of take-over performance on biomakers in conditional autonomous driving in future.

Projection-based augmented reality (AR) system refers to the system that accurately project high quality virtual information at the user-specified area by using the projector. Most of projection-based AR systems use the display device to support high quality and wide screen for increasing the user-immersion. Furthermore, they are implemented on the desktop environment due to the computational complexity. However, these projection-based AR systems are not suited as a mobile system and thus it may be inconvenient in the user point of view. Fortunately, Miniaturization of projectors and improved capacity of the mobile processor allowed the mobile AR system to be convenient. The limitation of established mobile AR system is that it uses small display screen which does not support high-resolutions and thus it may reduce the user-immersion into the system. In this paper, we propose portable projection-based display system, which overcomes the limitations of both projection-based and mobile-based AR systems. We have conducted the user evaluation to verify the effectiveness and the utmost capacity of the system.

For data collection, total 261 radiotechnologists, who work in Busan, took part in structured questionnaire survey. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS/PC+ Win 13 version. For verification of the differences among groups, one-way ANOVA was executed. For analyzing efficiency of system, which is affected by job stress, multiple regression analysis was taken. First, work stress classified by age group was found as the biggest stress factor among radiotechnologists in their 30s. Among radiotechnologists in their 20s, 40s and 50s, the biggest stress factor was communication problems. In terms of, job stress classified by division, no statistical difference was observed among groups. Second, as the result of system efficiency analysis, high values were found in organizational immersion and job satisfaction among radiotechnologists in their 20s and oncology division has the highest values in concentrating the system and job satisfaction. For this result, statistically significant differences were observed among groups. Third, in terms of the sub-factors of work stress, communication problem was found as the variable that exerted statistically significant impact to organizational effectiveness. However, no statistically significant differences were observed inadministrative and personal problems. Job stress decreases as communication within the organizations or communication with other divisions becomes more successful. In other words, system efficiency can be enhanced by decreasing conflicts within organization through successful communication.
