Virtual reality (VR) sickness can have an influential effect on the viewing quality of VR 3D contents. Particularly, watching the 3D contents on a head-mounted display (HMD) could cause some severe level of visual discomfort. Despite the importance of assessing the VR sickness, most of the recent studies have focused on unveiling the reason of inducing VR sickness. In this paper, we subjectively measure the level of VR sickness induced in the viewing of omnidirectional 3D graphics contents in HMD environment. Apart from that, we propose an objective assessment model that estimates the level of induced VR sickness by calculating the difference between head movement velocity and global camera motion velocity.

High injury and fatality rates remain a serious problem in the construction industry. Many construction injuries and fatalities can be prevented if workers can recognize potential hazards and take actions in time. Many efforts have been devoted in improving workers' ability of hazard recognition through various safety training and education methods. However, a reliable approach for evaluating this ability is missing. Previous studies in the field of human behavior and phycology indicate that the visual focus of attention (VFOA) is a good indicator of worker's actual focus. Towards this direction, this study introduces an automated approach for estimating the VFOA of equipment operators using a head orientation-based VFOA estimation method. The proposed method is validated in a virtual reality scenario using an immersive head mounted display. Results show that the proposed method can effectively estimate the VFOA of test subjects in different test scenarios. The findings in this study broaden the knowledge of detecting the visual focus and distraction of construction workers, and envision the future work in improving work's ability of hazard recognition.

기존의 텍스트만 제공하던 학습방법에서 발전해 텍스트, 이미지, 사운드 동영상 자료를 제공함으로써 시각적 청각적인 학습효과를 증가시킬 수 있었다. 하지만 많은 경우 2차원 화면상에 문자나 사진 정보만을 제공함으로써 일상적이고 수동적인 학습에 지나지 않았다. 최근에 들어서는 이러한 문제를 극복하려는 한가지 방법으로서 가상현실을 이용한 체험학습을 통하여 보다 능동적이고 효과적인 교육을 시도하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PC상에서 몰입감을 느낄 수 있는 HMD(Head Mounted Display)와 3차원 마우스를 사용하여 가상현실의 태양계를 탐험하고 이를 바탕으로 학습활동을 함으로써 학습 효과를 높일 수 있는 가상천체 학습 시스템을 구현하였다.

This paper suggests user interface method with wearable computer by means of detecting gaze under HMD, head mounted display, environment. System is derived as follows; firstly, calibrate a camera in HMD, which determines geometrical relationship between monitor and captured image. Second, detect the center of pupil using ellipse fitting algorithm and represent a gazing position on the computer screen. If user blinks or stares at a certain position for a while, message is sent to wearable computer. Experimental results show ellipse fitting is robust against glint effects, and detecting error was 6.5％, and 4.25％ in vertical and horizontal direction, respectively.

HMD(Head mounted Display)는 보안경이나 헬멧 형태로 눈앞의 지근거리에 초점이 형성된 가상스크린을 보는 안경형 모니터 장치로서 예전에는 군사용 시뮬레이션이나 가상현실(VR-Virtual Reality)을 실현하기 위해 개발되었으며, 양쪽 눈의 근접한 유치에 설치된 1인치 이하의 LCD, OLED, MEMS panel 등 마이크로 디스플레이에서 발생되는 이미지를 광학시스템을 통해 확대하여 대형 가상화면을 형성한다. IT 산업의 비약적인 발전에 힘입어 휴대용 동영상 및 모바일 정보검색, 3D의 시대가 대두됨에 따라 휴대폰이나 PMP의 작은 화면으로는 만족하지 못하는 소비자의 수요에 적합한 개인 휴대용 모니터 장치로, 3D를 구현하는 안경형 모니터로서 향후 크게 형성될 모바일 산업의 핵심제품이 될 전망이다.

Recently, techniques involving head-mounted displays (HMDs) have attracted much attention from academia and industry owing to the increased demand for virtual reality and augmented reality applications. Because HMDs are positioned near to users' eyes, it is important to solve the accommodation-vergence conflict problem to prevent dizziness. Therefore, holography is considered ideal for implementing HMDs. However, within the Nyquist region, the accommodation effect is limited by the space-bandwidth-product of the signal, which is determined by the sampling number of spatial light modulators. In addition, information about the angular spectrum is duplicated over the Fourier domain, and it is necessary to filter out the redundancy. The size of the exit-pupil of the HMD is limited by the Nyquist sampling theory. We newly propose a holographic HMD with an expanded exit-pupil over the Nyquist region by using the time-multiplexing method, and the accommodation effect is enhanced. We realize time-multiplexing by synchronizing a high-speed digital micromirror device and a liquid-crystal shutter array. We also demonstrate the accommodation effect experimentally.

There are many visual enhancement devices for people with low vision. However, almost conventional devices have been simple magnifying and high cost. The symptoms of people with low vision are very variety. It needs to control of image magnifying, brightness, and contrast to improve the visuality. We developed a portable microdisplay driver and device for visual enhancement. This device based on our suggested four methods such as image magnifying, specific color control, BLU brightness control, and visual axis control using a prism. The basic clinical experiments of the proposed Head Mounted Visual Enhancement Device (HMVED) have been performed. The results show beneficiary effects compared with conventional devices, and improve the life quality on people with low vision on account of low weight, low cost, and easy portability.
