Acrophobia is an abnormal fear of heights. Medications or cognitive-behavior methods have been mainly used as a treatment. Lately the virtual reality technology has been applied to that kind of anxiety disorders. A virtual environment provides patient with stimuli which arouses phobia, and exposing to that environment makes him having ability to over come the fear. In this study, the elevator stimulator that composed with a position sensor, head mount display, and audio system, is suggested. To illustrate the physiological difference between a person who has a feel of phobia and without phobia, heart rate was measured during experiment. And also measured a person's HR after the virtual reality training and in a real building elevator. In this study, we demonstrated the subjective effectiveness of virtual reality psychotherapy through the clinical experiment.

Medications or conitive-behavior methods have been mainly used as a treatment of alcoholism. lately the virtualy technology has been applied to the kink of alcoholic disorders. A virtual environment makes him having avility to over come the drink. In this study, we were implemented by making panorama images and 3D object modules using 3D MAX, VRML, JAVA. And the BAR stimulator that composed with a position sensor, head mount display, and audio system, is suggested. To illustrate the physiological difference between a person who has a alcoholism and without a liquor bottle, heart rate was measured during experiment, and also measured a person's HR after the virtual reality training. The system measures the Physiological signals such as ECG, Temperature, analyzes those data automatically. The system has two parts, one is physiological data acquisition part which gets the body signal, and the other one is mobile nuit which includes signal processing and transmission functions, And Bluetooth allows two parts to communicate with each other. we demonstrated the subjective effectiveness of virtual reality psychotherapy through the clinical experiment.

In this paper, two different flight training devices were constructed to verify the effectiveness of a pilot training system based on a Virtual Reality Head Mount Display. VFR Flight Procedure and IFR Flight Procedure were conducted by high level pilots with Commercial Pilot Licence. Flight data and pilot's visual data for each flight procedure were extracted, compared and analyzed with two training systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the training systems based on the VR HMD was demonstrated by assessing the given mission and the flight results.

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.

지상파 UHD 방송은 시청자에게 기존 HD 방송화면보다 4배 더 선명한 영상 서비스를 제공하며, 광대역 통신망과 결합한 홈포탈(Home Portal) 서비스를 통해서 다양한 부가서비스를 지상파 방송과 함께 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 지상파 UHD TV 방송과 연계된 360도 가상현실(VR; Virtual Reality) 부가서비스 시스템과 이를 효과적으로 시청하기 위한 사용자환경을 제안한다. 방송의 ESG(Electronic Service Guide)를 통해 시청자는 VR 부가서비스임을 확인하고 스마트 단말기 또는 HMD(Head Mount Display) 등을 이용하여 마치 현장에 있는 듯한 체험을 즐길 수 있다. 제안한 부가서비스는 앱 형태로 스마트 단말기에 설치하여 실행하며 지상파 UHD TV의 ESG 정보로부터 프로그램 편성과 VR 지원여부를 확인한다. 이를 통해, 실시간 방송 뿐 아니라 VOD 형태로 제공되는 다양한 비디오 및 오디오 콘텐츠를 극장에서 보는 것과 같은 빅스크린 모드, 360도 VR 모드, 오디오 청취모드 등 다양한 시청환경에서 감상할 수 있다. 제안한 사용자 환경은 게임엔진을 기반으로 개발되어 가상의 시청 공간에서 장소를 이동하며 영상, 음향 등 미디어 콘텐츠를 감상할 수 있다. 전용컨트롤러를 이용하면 다양한 인터액티브 콘텐츠를 효과적으로 운용하여 감상할 수 있으며, 일반적으로 통용되는 VR 기기 제어 모드도 지원하여 HMD나 일반 스마트 단말기 어느 것을 이용해서도 용이하게 사용자 메뉴를 선택할 수 있다. 제안된 시스템의 시제품은 IBC 2017 및 평창 ICT 체험관을 통해 발표되었다.

Involuntary hand tremor has been a serious challenge in micromanipulation tasks and thus draws a significant amount of attention from related fields. To minimize the effect of the hand tremor, a variety of mechanically assistive solutions have been proposed. However, approaches increasing human awareness of their own hand tremor have not been extensively studied. In this paper, a head mount display based virtual reality (VR) system to increase human self-awareness of hand tremor is proposed. It shows a user a virtual image of a handheld device with emphasized hand tremor information. Provided with this emphasized tremor information, we hypothesize that subjects will control their hand tremor more effectively. Two methods of emphasizing hand tremor information are demonstrated: (1) direct amplification of tremor and (2) magnification of virtual object, in comparison to the controlled condition without emphasized tremor information. A human-subject study with twelve trials was conducted, with four healthy participants who performed a task of holding a handheld gripper device in a specific direction. The results showed that the proposed methods achieved a reduced level of hand tremor compared with the control condition.

There is strong demand to create wearable PC systems that can support the user outdoors. When we are outdoors, our movement makes it impossible to use traditional input devices such as keyboards and mice. We propose a hand gesture interface based on image processing to operate wearable PCs. The semi-transparent PC screen is displayed on the head mount display (HMD), and the user makes hand gestures to select icons on the screen. The user's hand is extracted from the images captured by a color camera mounted above the HMD. Since skin color can vary widely due to outdoor lighting effects, a key problem is accurately discrimination the hand from the background. The proposed method does not assume any fixed skin color space. First, the image is divided into blocks and blocks with similar average color are linked. Contiguous regions are then subjected to hand recognition. Blocks on the edges of the hand region are subdivided for more accurate finger discrimination. A change in hand shape is recognized as hand movement. Our current input interface associates a hand grasp with a mouse click. Tests on a prototype system confirm that the proposed method recognizes hand gestures accurately at high speed. We intend to develop a wider range of recognizable gestures.

In these days the virtual reality technology has been applied to treat such an anxiety disorders. And also a medical doctor can diagnose the patient in distance with the telemedicine system. In this thesis, an telemedicine assistant system for treatment of acrophobia using biomedical signals and virtual reality technique is proposed. I made two virtual reality simulations for treatment of acrophobia and telemedicine system for communication between doctor and patient using personal computer. Multimedia conference service, online questionary, signal transfer system are needed to configure such system. Virtual reality simulation system that composed of position sensor, head mount display, and audio system, is also included in this telemedicine system. I added virtual environment update system to this virtual reality telemedicine system for treatment of acrophobia. With this virtual environment update system, the doctors can change virtual reality simulation stage based on the status of each patient and symptom of phobia. We will apply this system to the acrophobia patient in distance and be able to offer better medical treatment for mental illness in near future.
