In the near future, we are expected to live in a Mixed Reality environment where reality and virtuality coexist as today we live using the Internet and smartphones in our daily lives. The relevant content based on the idea of Mixed Reality crystallizing is currently expanding, and it is time for research on it. This study examines the current situation and the development direction of mixed reality contents. Typical mixed reality contents can be classify by wearability. We analyzed HoloLens, a mixed reality wearable device that is worn on a head, which is a example of wearable device. As an example of unwearable device, we also analyzed the Room2Room which is a communication system that combines video with augmented reality-based telepresence avatar. Mixed Reality content will develop in the direction of implementing expanded use of information and more natural realism through the interactive combination of Reality, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality. As head-mounted wearable technology develops, Mixed Reality content is expected to become popular by increasing the number of Mixed Reality device users if convenience and price competitiveness are secured. The way of unifying Mixed Reality wearable devices must be established in order to increase convenience, and the environment based on Mixed Reality will be created through diversifying leisure activity content. Telepresence Avatar is expected to develop into Mobile Hologram Avar as Mixed Reality content accessible anywhere and at anytime beyond space limits. Another potential for development of Telepresence Avatar is the combination of Avatar moving on user's thought, Augmented Human technology and Mixed Reality.

This study aims to investigate that today's Mixed Reality Technology did not appear suddenly but has its beginnings in 20th century Visual and Interactive Art. First, Photographic Art expressed three-D on the two-dimensional plane and mixed images of reality and virtuality. Photogram made people experience both two-dimensional images and three-dimensional effects concurrently, and Photomontage combined various photos and mixed reality and virtuality. Next, Cinema tried to combine virtuality and reality using objets and CG. Early Cinema composed films and real objets. As computer technology developed, Cinema composed objet CG on real images and then tried background CG compositing. Finally, Telepresence Art tried a new possibility of Mixed Reality breaking the boundary between reality and virtuality, subject and object. It oscillates between virtual space in reality and real space in virtuality, or represents Mixed Reality by remote control of long distance participants. In the future, for the development and direction of Mixed Reality, there will be more need of referring to Visual and Interactive Art.

최근 많은 종류의 HMD(Head mount display) 출시로 전시장 등 다양한 장소에서 가상현실을 체험할 수 있고, 포켓몬고와 같은 게임을 스마트폰을 통해 사용할 수 있게 됨에 따라 가상현실과 증강현실이 사용자들에게 일반화된 개념이 되어가고 있다. 이와 함께 마이크로소프트 홀로렌즈의 개발자 버전 출시를 통해 현실을 기반으로 가상현실과 같은 몰입감의 혼합현실을 제공하는 기술이 단순 컨셉트가 아니라 현실의 서비스로 실현되어 가고 있다. 본고에서는 가상현실, 증강현실의 일부 또는 독립적인 개념으로 분류되는 혼합현실, 특히 HMD 기반의 혼합현실 개념과 동향을 살펴보고, 한국전자통신연구원에서 개발된 HMD 기반 혼합현실 기술을 소개하고자 한다.

혼합현실(Mixed reality)은 가상현실(Virtual reality)의 확장개념이다. 가상현실은 가상환경에 사용자가 몰입해 있는 동안 사용자는 그 주위에 실세계를 볼 수 없는 반면, 혼합현실은 실세계와 합성되어 사용자로 하여금 가상 물체와 실세계를 모두 볼 수 있게 한다.(중략)

In this paper, we review relevant technologies of Mixed Reality(MR) and show important components of perspective that can overcome technical limitations of the current MR. An MR technology combines real and virtual objects in a real environment, and runs interactive in real time, and is regarded as an emerging technology in a large part of the future of Information Technology(IT). We've grouped the major obstacles limiting the wider use of MR technologies into three themes: technological limitations (i,e., tracking, rendering, authoring, and registration), user interface(UI) limitations(i.e., UI metaphor for MR interaction), and social acceptance issues.

본 고는 혼합현실 기술을 활용한 스마트 홈트레이닝, 그리고 피트니스 코칭 시스템을 메타버스 환경에서 어떻게 구현할 수 있을지에 대한 아이디어를 공유해 보고자 하였다. 그래서 2장에서는 혼합현실, 확장현실의 개념과 그 현황에 대해서 알아보았다. 또한 3장에서는 피트니스 트레이닝 코칭 시스템이 메타버스 환경으로 들어올 수 있는지, 그럴 필요가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 그 각각의 개념과 현황에 대해서 챙겨보았다. 4장에서는 혼합현실을 이용한 피트니스 코칭 시스템의 현황을 살펴보고, 5장에서는 구체적인 연계 방안을 제시하는 것으로 마무리하였다.

박물관은 문화유산을 직접 확인할 수 있는 역사교육의 산실로서 매우 중요한 역할을 함에도 불구하고 관람객이 지속적으로 감소하여 왔다. 이에 대한 주요 요인으로는 전시내용의 고정 및 콘텐츠의 부족, 일방적인 정보 전달에 치중함으로써 관람객의 흥미 유발을 이끌어 내지 못하는 것을 들 수 있다. 일부 박물관은 모바일 장비를 이용한 가상 및 증강현실 관람을 도입하고 있으나, 기술적인 한계와 조작의 불편함, 몰입도의 부족으로 인해 큰 효과를 보지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관람객이 재방문하고 싶은 박물관을 만들기 위해 혼합현실을 기반으로 한 박물관 전시 콘텐츠를 제작한다. 제작된 콘텐츠는 혼합현실을 이용함으로써 가상, 증강현실 콘텐츠보다 몰입감과 현실감을 높일 수 있다. 또한, 관람객과 상호작용할 수 있도록 혼합현실 기반 웨어러블 기기를 사용함으로써 생생한 전시물 체험을 할 수 있다.

Mixed and augmented reality technique deals with mixing content between real world and virtual world containing augmented reality and augmented virtuality excluding of pure real and pure virtual world. In mixed and augmented reality, if a live actor and entity moving in real world can be embedded more naturally in 3D virtual world, various advanced applications such 3D tele-presence, 3D virtual experience education and etc can be serviced. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a standard model which is supporting to embed the live actor and entity into 3D virtual space, and to interact with each other. And also the natural embedding and interaction of live actor and entity can be performed based on the proposed model.

In this paper, We propose a study on the construction of an environment for collaboration in mixed reality and a method for working with wearable IoT devices. Mixed reality is a mixed form of virtual reality and augmented reality. We can view objects in the real and virtual world at the same time. And unlike VR, MR HMD does not occur the motion sickness. It is using a wireless and attracting attention as a technology to be applied in industrial fields. Myo wearable device is a device that enables arm rotation tracking and hand gesture recognition by using a triaxial sensor, an EMG sensor, and an acceleration sensor. Although various studies related to MR are being progressed, discussions on developing an environment in which multiple people can participate in mixed reality and manipulating virtual objects with their own hands are insufficient. In this paper, We propose a method of constructing an environment where collaboration is possible and an interaction method for smooth interaction in order to apply mixed reality in real industrial fields. As a result, two people could participate in the mixed reality environment at the same time to share a unified object for the object, and created an environment where each person could interact with the Myo wearable interface equipment.
