Recently, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have received increasing attention, with the development of VR/AR devices such as head-mounted displays, haptic devices, and AR glasses. Medicine is considered to be one of the most effective applications of VR/AR. In this article, we describe a systematic literature review conducted to investigate the state-of-the-art VR/AR technology relevant to plastic surgery. The 35 studies that were ultimately selected were categorized into 3 representative topics: VR/AR-based preoperative planning, navigation, and training. In addition, future trends of VR/AR technology associated with plastic surgery and related fields are discussed.

The development of content for language education using AR/VR technology is a necessary task to be pursued in line with commercialization of 5G. Research on service platform for systematic management and service is currently being carried out by global companies competitively, The unique language education service model for unique areas of culture has the right to pursue R & D jointly with Korea and China. In this study, we applied the developed "Korean language education service platform for Chinese people based on e-learning" to improve the acceptance of AR/VR contents and applied AR/VR technology to video-based language education contents. And to present a new paradigm of language education. Contents development is to develop AR-based vocabulary learning services, develop experiential learning contents for VR-based step-by-step situations, and gradually develop contents to enable beginner / intermediate / advanced language education services. The service platform enables management of learning management and learning contents, and complies with metadata attributes to complete a platform capable of accommodating large capacity AR/VR contents. In the future, systematic research will be carried out in order to develop as a portal for educational services through development of various contents using mixed reality technology.

This study analyzed a group interview with six earth science teachers and eight middle school students to find out the evaluations and criteria they use to evaluate VR/AR contents (two virtual reality content and two augmented reality contents) in middle school science digital textbook. The study found the VR/AR contents were evaluated on four criteria as follows: VR/AR media characteristics; technical operation; user interface; and teaching-learning design. The evaluations can be summarized by each criterion. First, regarding VR/AR media characteristics, interesting features of VR/AR contents were considered relatively advantageous compared to other media like videos. However, its shortage of visual presence and inconvenience of using markers were mentioned as shortcomings. Second, in the technical operation criteria, teachers and students found the following conditions as technically challenging: failing to properly operate on a particular OS; huge volumes of contents in the application; and frequent freezing when using the application. Third, poor intuitiveness and lack of flexibility were found as negative aspects in user interface. Fourth, regarding teaching-learning design, the teachers evaluated whether the VR/AR contents delivered scientifically accurate information; whether they incorporated class goals set by teachers; and whether they can help students' inquiry. It turned out teachers gave negative feedbacks on VR/AR contents. The students evaluated VR/AR contents by assessing whether they help them with learning science but concluded they did not regard them necessary in science learning at school. Based on the findings, this study discusses which development direction VR/AR contents should take to be useful in teaching and learning science.

The VR / AR market has grown significantly due to the development of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. According to a report released by the Korea Science and Engineering Corporation (KISTEP), the global VR / AR market will grow to $ 105 billion by 2022. An important key to the growth of the VR / AR market is user immersion. VR is dependent on technology of hardware such as display and sensor for biometric signal recognition. In order to improve user's immersion feeling, it is important to transmit sensor data to display device more accurately and quickly. In this paper, we consider various sensor hardware dependencies of VR, and compare various correction methods and filtering methods to lower the Motion to Photon (MTP) time that user movement is fully reflected on the display using sensor devices.

In this study, we proposed a real-time ECG analytical method for predicting stress and dangerous heart condition using the ECG signal in playing AR/VR device. A real-time diagnosis is used as R-R interval based HRV(:Heart rate variability), BPM(:Beats Per Minitue) and autonomic nervous research with through mapping method of two-dimensional planes. The ECG data were analyzed every 5 minutes and derived from autonomic nervous system diagnosis.

In this study, the microstructural changes in orthopaedic-grade ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were compartively investigated for six different gamma-irradiation methods. Compared with un-irradiation (UGI), conventional gamma-irradiation in air room temperature (AR) induced statistically significant increases of relative crystallinity and percent crosslinking in UHMWPE. Vacuum environment (VR) during gamma-irradiation significantly increased the percent crosslinking in UHMWPE. Vacuum extreme low temperature (V77) during gamma-irradiation induced no significant changes in both relative crystallinity and percent crosslinking of UHMWPE but the percent crosslinking of UHMWPE in VR and V77 was significantly larger than that in AR. Post-irradiation stabilization process significantly increased the relative crystallinity of UHMWPE in V77, and it also significantly increased the percent crosslinking of UHMWPE in AR and V77.

The purpose of this study is to develop a method of applying AR(Augmented Reality)/VR(Virtual Reality) to educational and training systems from a comprehensive perspective, rather than applying AR/VR technology to specific education and training systems. We suggested whether to apply AR or VR technology to education and training system, the level of application of technology when constructing using AR/VR technology, and the criteria of priority among many education and training systems. To do this, we presented the framework of application of AR/VR technology, the evaluation criteria for selecting priority of education and training system applying AR/VR, and the systematic procedure for utilization of developed method. This study is significant in that it has developed a method to determine the direction of systematic AR/VR technology application for all education and training systems operated by the military or organization. This is expected to contribute to the overall efficiency of the organization in terms of economical utilization of the limited budget as well as the various benefits of utilizing basic AR/VR technology.
