Recently, with the development of virtual and augmented reality technology, metaverse is emerging as a new paradigm that will lead the next-generation internet era, and social and economic activities are spreading around the game, entertainment, music, and content industries. Moreover, as non-face-to-face conversion accelerated after the outbreak of COVID-19, lifestyles and industrial sites are becoming untact and further rapidly becoming a metaverse. In particular, the application of metaverse to the education field is attracting attention because realistic classes using real-time voice conversations using avatars, 3D objects, and 360-degree images can increase immersion and overcome the limitations of distance education. This study examines the concept of metaverse and examines that education using metaverse can be an alternative that can increase the efficiency of education in the non-face-to-face era. In particular, it shows that it is effective in language education and suggests an actual metaverse-based Korea language education program.

Due to COVID 19, the global economy is facing a crisis situation, and in the export-oriented industry, companies must consider survival. The government and industry are striving to revitalize exports in a number of ways, and with restrictions on non-face-to-face export activities, they are contemplating various ways to implement non-face-to-face export marketing. Among them, various studies are being conducted in various industries on the part of conducting an online exhibition. In particular, the shipbuilding and offshore industry is a major export industry, and offline exhibitions held around the world were an important opportunity for marketing, and the use of online exhibitions to substitute for them is urgently needed. In this study, we study AR, VR, MR, etc., which are various element technologies necessary for building an online exhibition hall suitable for the shipbuilding and marine industry, and how they are applied to online exhibitions.

With the recent advent of the New Normal era, realistic technologies and non-contact technologies are receiving social attention. However, the hair styling field focuses on the direction of the hair itself, individual movements, and modeling, focusing on hair simulation. In order to create an improved practice environment and demand of the times, this study proposed a non-contact hair styling VR system. In the theoretical review, we studied the existing cases of hair cut research. Existing haircut-related research tend to be mainly focused on force-based feedback. Research on the interactive haircut work in the virtual environment as addressed in this paper has not been done yet. VR controllers capable of finger tracking the movements necessary for beauty enable selection, cutting, and rotation of beauty tools, and built a non-contact collaboration environment. As a result, we conducted two experiments for interactive hair cutting in VR. First, it is a haircut operation for synchronization using finger tracking and holding hook animation. We made position correction for accurate motion. Second, it is a real-time interactive cutting operation in a multi-user virtual collaboration environment. This made it possible for instructors and learners to communicate with each other through VR HMD built-in microphones and Photon Voice in non-contact situations.

This is a user experience study of factors that should be considered in designing home appliances experience service. Untact services are emerging, but the development of home appliances sector is in early stage. Based on the six factors of Stephen P. Anderson's Creating Pleasurable Interface Model, this study conducted surveys, 1:1 in-depth interviews, and participation observations to measure and analyze user experience. In this study, I compared 4060s and 2030s's user experience in that the untact services raise the digital alienation among middle-senior-aged. As a result, there were significant differences between the two, including the opposite satisfaction in terms of reliable, usable and pleasurable factors. I hope that this study will be of strategic help in designing future home appliance experience services.

In addition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, interest and research on medical information are actively being conducted. As the technologies using short-range low-power wireless communication are applied in connection with mobile devices, the utilization of them in medical institutions is gradually increasing, and the demand of customers who want to receive high-quality services using IT technology is increasing in the medical environment according to the development and change of technology. In addition, modern people who are familiar with smart equipment and consider the value of time is important do not waste their time through rapid service. In addition, as the recent epidemics including Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) have become popular, interest in untapped (non-face-to-face) has increased, and social distance is needed as a preliminary measure against infectious diseases. For this reason, this study studied the untapped-based medical reception system to provide quick service to patients using short-range low-power wireless communication and to provide safer and more comfortable environment for medical staff and visitors.

코로나19 바이러스로 인해 이전에는 부가적으로 이루어졌던 온라인 공연이 오프라인 공연의 대안으로 떠오르며 비대면을 일컫는 '언택트(Untact)'에 온라인을 통한 외부와의 '연결(On)'을 더한 개념인 온택트 공연의 사례가 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 오프라인 콘서트에 직접 참여하여 느낄 수 있는 공연자와 관객 간의 상호작용을 전달하기는 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 'ZOOM'이라는 화상회의 플랫폼을 활용하여 현장감을 더하고, 기존의 중계시스템에서 사용하던 SDI 방식보다 더 간단하고 효율적인 NDI(Network Device Interface) 기술을 적용한 온택트 중계시스템을 제안한다.

최근 물리적 언택트(Untact)와 사회적 온택트(Ontact)를 이끄는 기술에 대한 관심이 커지면서 가상현실(VR:Virtual Reality) 기술을 활용한 교육이 주목받고 있다. 이와 더불어 교육 환경이 경험과 체험 위주의 맞춤형 교육으로 급격히 변화함에 따라 사용자 요구를 만족시킬 콘텐츠는 부족한 실태이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 효과적인 독서교육을 위해 종이책과 전자책을 비교 설명하며 가상현실 기술을 활용한 동화 체험 시스템을 제안하였다. 사용자 얼굴 3D 텍스처 모델링과 멀티플레이어를 통해 비대면 실감형 콘텐츠와 공공데이터를 활용하여 동화선택 기능을 구현하였다. 이처럼 교육적인 관점에서 스스로 선택한 동화를 함께 체험하고 인지한다는 점에서 효과적이다.

As technology utilizing low-power short-range wireless communication is applied in conjunction with medical information as a development of the fourth industrial revolution, interest in medical information is increasing. As the age group of smart devices increases and becomes more common, related research such as linking mobile devices with various objects and equipment is continuously being conducted. In addition, interest in untact (non-face-to-face) is increasing due to the prevalence of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19), including various infectious diseases. As a result, it is a state that requires distance not only in social but also in life. In this study, using a low-power near-field wireless communication technology of beacons to create an IoT device by communicating with the web server of the medical information system was studied to make it easier to receive medical treatment during visits to medical institutions.

The purpose of this study is to find out consumers' perceptions of "metaverse," a newly spotlighted technology, through big data analysis as a non-face-to-face society continues after the outbreak of COVID-19. This study conducted a big data analysis using text mining to analyze consumers' perceptions of metaverse before and after COVID-19. The top 30 keywords were extracted through word purification, and visualization was performed through network analysis and concor analysis between each keyword based on this. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the non-face-to-face society continued and metaverse emerged as a trend. Previously, metaverse was focused on textual data such as SNS as a part of life logging, but after that, it began to pay attention to virtual reality space, creating many platforms and expanding industries. The limitation of this study is that since data was collected through the search frequency of portal sites, anonymity was guaranteed, so demographic characteristics were not reflected when data was collected.
