The ship surveyor makes a scheme of reasonable ship operation by examining whether the ship has been properly constructed in accordance with the rule of classification societies and international conventions or whether the facilities of the ship in operation meet the standard stipulated by law. Even though the ship surveyors of classification society generally consist of people who have the skill of design or operation of a ship, it takes a long time to train a surveyor to the maturity level. This paper describes the development of survey simulator based on virtual ship environment that enables the surveyor minimize trial and errors to survey the ships. By using VR(Virtual Reality) based survey simulator, surveyors possibly achieve improvement of competence in survey quality by means of safe and immersive training environment. In order to improve the usability and utility of the VR simulator, the ship 3D model has been generated using 3D CAD model for design and production in shipyard. Through this, we suggested the possibility of consistent use of 3D model as the digital twin of a ship.

The purpose of the study is discovering the effects of different VR devices in learning. For this purpose, this study conducted experiments in HMD and Tablet PC learning environments to analyze differences in device characteristics according to technological evolution. In the experimentation, 37 test subject members were involved and Talklish program, English education service, were used as a learning content. The results showed that the learning method using HMD VR has a higher level of immersion, social consciousness, and learning motivation than Tablet PC methods.

In this study, motion simulation of Walk-through was evaluated with HMD(Head Mounted Display). More Specifically, we examined the changes of the degree of object density placed around virtual space on psychological moving distance, moving speed, and moving time. The results were as follows. First, the difference between the experimental conditions(low density, Medium density, High density) was significant. Second, as the density of the surrounding objects increased, the average point of moving time, moving speed, and moving distance rose compared to the basic conditions. Third, it was found that the surrounding objects improved the sense of time, speed and distance in motion simulation in virtual space.

As the era of the fourth industrial revolution began, augmented reality showed infinite possibilities throughout society. However, current augmented reality systems such as head-mount display and hand-held display systems suffer from various problems such as weariness and nausea, and thus space-augmented reality, which is a projector-based augmented reality technology, is attracting attention. Spacial augmented reality requires precise tracking of dynamic objects to project virtual images in order to increase realism of augmented reality and induce user 's immersion. The infrared sensor-based precision tracking algorithm developed in this paper demonstrates very robust tracking performance with an average error rate of less than 1.5% and technically opens the way towards advanced augmented reality technologies such as tracking for arbitrary objects, and Socially, by easy-to-use tracking algorithms for non-specialists, it allows designers, students, and children to easily create and enjoy their own augmented reality content.

In this paper, we propose haptic interfaces based on force feedback to provide a physical painting experience to virtual reality users. Through this system, the user can create surface-based painting holding a haptic stylus, while utilizing both visual feedback from the worn HMD and haptic feedback during painting. In particular, the haptic interfaces simulate the physical interaction between painting brush and painting, which can help to improve the spatial perception of users and compensate for visual feedback. This can reduce laborious drawing works to repeatedly paint strokes and therefore yield a better painting performance. As a result, users can experience more effective and realistic VR painting with this system.

The purpose of Serious games in immersive Metaverse platform to provide users both fun and intriguing learning experiences. We proposes a serious game for self-trainable fire evacuation drill with collaboration among avatars synchronized with multiple trainees and optionally with real-time supervising placed at different remote physical locations. The proposed system architecture is composed of wearable motion sensors and a Head Mounted Display to synchronize each user's intended motions to her/his avatar activities in a cyberspace in Metaverse environment. The proposed system provides immersive as well as inexpensive environments for easy-to-use user interface for cyber experience-based fire evacuation training system. The proposed configuration of the user-avatar interface, the collaborative learning environment, and the evaluation system on the VR serious game are expected to be applied to other serious games. The game was implemented only for the predefined fire scenario for buildings, but the platform can extend its configuration for various disaster situations that may happen to the public.

Recently, the development of UAV application system using augmented reality (AR) has received much attention. In general, the design and implementation of UAV application system are verified with SILS techniques before actual flight experiments. However, existing SILS environment cannot be used to verify the application system based on AR and UAV because it does not include key features related to AR. To overcome this problem, we proposed an SILS platform that could be effectively used for the development of application systems based on AR and UAV. Simulation results on accuracy, efficiency, and scalability show that the proposed platform could be effectively utilized for the development of AR and UAV based-application systems.

Recently, interest in flight simulators based on HMD and mixed reality is increasing. However, they have limitations in providing various interactions and a sense of presence to pilot wearing HMD. To overcome these limitations, a mixed reality image corresponding to the interaction under the actual cockpit environment must be generated in real time and provided to the pilot. For this purpose, we proposed a mixed reality image generation method, in which the cockpit area including the pilot's body could be extracted from real image obtained from the camera attached to the HMD and then composed with virtual image to generate a high-resolution mixed reality image. Simulation results showed that the proposed method could provide mixed reality images to HMD at 30 Hz frame rate with 99% image composition accuracy.

Virtual reality content provides users with a high sense of immersion by using HMD devices. However, while wearing the HMD device, it is difficult to determine the user's location or distance from obstacles, resulting in injuries due to physical collisions. In this paper, we propose a reminder module to prevent accidents by notifying the risk of collision with obstacles while wearing the HMD device. The proposed module receives the user's state from the acceleration and gyro sensor and determines the motion that is likely to cause a collision. If there is an obstacle in the expected collision range, a buzzer sounds to the wearer. As a result of the experiment, the accuracy of obstacle detection in the state of wearing the HMD was 86.6% in the 1st stage and 83.3% in the 2nd stage, confirming the performance of the accident prevention reminder.

In order to effectively prevent and respond to disasters, several techniques have been developed in which the pilot wearing a see-through Head Mounted Display (HMD) performs disaster-related rescue activities using images transmitted from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). However, these techniques have limitations in quickly determining and executing tasks appropriate to the on-site situation because the pilot cannot recognize the entire field in an integrated manner. In order to overcome these problems, we propose an AR based-interface technique that allows the rescuer wearing a see-through HMD to operate a UAV efficiently. Simulation results show that the proposed interface technique allows the rescuer wearing a see-through HMD to control the gimbal and flight of the UAV at a high speed based on finger gestures in a visibility situation.
