In a head-mounted display (HMD) for virtual-reality applications, a narrow viewing angle is preferred to the usual, wide viewing angle because the HMD is positioned close in front of the user's eyes, and the display position is fixed. In this paper, we propose a new back-light unit (BLU) for implementing a narrow viewing angle, which is suitable for a HMD. By optimizing the scattering patterns in the light-guide-plate and inverse-prism structures, the viewing angle and correlations between structural parameters in the BLU components are analyzed with ray-tracing simulations. As a result, a double-angle inverse-prism structure incorporating the scattering patterns of a light-guide plate is chosen, which results in a 14% increase in center luminance, a 16% decrease in the vertical viewing angle, and a light efficiency of up to 70%, compared to a conventional BLU. Thus, the new BLU system is expected to be applied in a high-efficiency liquid crystal display.

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) has been used for a several decades. However, we are not aware any studies that used a smart-phone based virtual reality techniques. In this study, we suggested a new smart-phone based VRET that included photorealistic techniques. We also evaluated the current system with 32 healthy participants, and results suggested that the current system evoked different emotional valences in indoor/outdoor and familiar/unfamiliar environments. The meaning of current results and potential applications of VRET were discussed.

Recently Internet of things(IoT) industry has grown, Giant company of the world, have developed a variety of equipment using this. Several things are to be able to enjoy the game of devices have been developed game that play with the device has been released. This paper aims to derive the necessary element for the game development around IoT equipment. In this study, we investigated several cases using IoT device that have been released and have been developed abroad, literature related to game development reviewed. As a result, majority case using in game field, it appeared by using virtual reality that supported the 3D screen using a head-mounted display, in addition, have been released motion-based game.

This paper presents a prototype for virtual reality operating system (VR OS) concept with head mount display (HMD) and hand gesture recognition technology based on game engine (Unity3D). We have designed and implemented simple multitasking thread mechanism constructed on the realtime environment provided by Unity3D game engine. Our virtual reality operating system receives user input from the hand gesture recognition device (Leap Motion) to simulate mouse and keyboard and provides output via head mount display (Oculus Rift DK2). As a result, our system provides users with more broad and immersive work environment by implementing 360 degree work space.

Excavators are versatile earthmoving equipment that are used in civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, grading and landscaping, pipeline construction and mining. Effective operator training is essential to ensure safe and efficient operating of the machine. The virtual reality excavator based on simulation using conventional large size monitors is limited by the inability to provide a realistic real world training experience. We proposed a flexible observation method with a head tracking system to improve user feeling and sensation when operating a virtual reality excavator. First, an excavation simulator is designed by combining an excavator SimMechanics model and the virtual world. Second, a head mounted display (HMD) device is presented to replace the cumbersome large screens. Moreover, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor is mounted to the HMD for tracking the movement of the operator's head. These signals consequently change the virtual viewpoint of the virtual reality excavator. Simulation results were used to analyze the performance of the proposed system.

지금까지 구현된 대부분의 가상환경 시스템은 헤드마운트디스플레이(HMD), 트랙커, 핸드 글로브, 포스 피트백 센서등의 전문적인 장비를 이용하여 구현되었으며 인터액티브한 장면을 연출하기 위하여 고속의 하드웨어 사양을 필요로 하였다. 현재 이러한 장비는 전문가가 아니면 사용하기가 어렵고 또 장비의 비용이 매우 고가이기 때문에 대중화되기까지 상당한 시간이 소요될 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 전문적인 장비가 아닌 범용장비에 속하는 CCD 카메라와 빔 프로젝트를 활용하여 사용자가 인터액티브하게 참여할 수 있는 게임 시스템의 설계와 구현에 관한 논문이다. 이 시스템에서 사용자는 별도의 센스가 부착된 장비가 없이 간단한 색상 마커만을 가지고 컴퓨터가 생성한 가상 공간에서 빔 프로젝트로 구성한 가상 공간에서 캐릭터와의 실시간 게임을 즐길 수 있는 기능을 가지고 있다.

A minimally appropriate time delay of audio data processing is investigated for rendering virtual sound source direction in real-time head-tracking environment under headphone listening. Less than 3.7 degree of angular mismatch should be maintained in order to keep desired sound source directions in virtually fixed while listeners are rotating their head in a horizontal plane. The angular mismatch is proportional to speed of head rotation and data processing delay. For 20 degree/s head rotation, which is a relatively slow head-movement case, less than total of 63ms data processing delay should be considered.

The Video See-through HMD(VSHMD) captures real-world view through a camera set mounted in front of the HMD. The VSHMD outputs this visual information in real time through the display in the HMD, which technique can be used as mixed reality, augmented reality, and virtual reality device. Recently, there is growing interest in VSHMD due to the rapid development of camera and display technology. However, VSHMD is still not free from many technical huddles and human factor issues. This paper summarizes the VSHMD related researches so far, presents the major issues to be solved in advance, and suggests design considerations that should be beneficial to VSHMD development, focused on the human factors, that presents solutions to effectively overcome the limitations of VSHMD functionalities in current.
