For several years, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have been improving. However, some hurdles remain that slow down the distribution of VR and AR devices, such as head-mounted display (HMD), and related consumer content. One issue is VR motion sickness, which has been experienced by users using 360 degree VR content via HMD. This paper discusses the related international standardization work that classifies the factors causing VR sickness, and proposes the process for VR sickness level evaluation. Among the factors causing VR sickness, many research institutes regard minimizing MTP (Motion-to-Photon) latency as the key enabler to mitigate VR sickness. Thus, this paper introduces research trends of MTP latency measurement and MTP latency mitigation. This paper categorizes the research on MTP latency measurement into 2 categories of hardware-based approach and software code-level approach. The 2 approaches have different pros and cons depending on use-case, purpose, and architecture of each multimedia system. The pros and cons are addressed in this paper. Additionally, the research on mitigating MTP latency with diverse strategies such as proactive computing, caching, and edge server technology is explained, and compared to conventional technologies, shows improved performance.

In this study, we explored the possibility of using sympathetic skin response (SSR), a type of electrodermal activity (EDA), as a method of evaluating a subject's responsiveness to physical or psychological stimulation. To provide physical and psychological stimulation, walking on an acupressure plate and a roller coaster virtual reality experience wearing an HMD (head mounted display) were used. Walking on an acupressure plate significantly increased the SSR signal compared to walking on the bare floor. Additionally, it was observed that the SSR response significantly increased while the subject was wearing an HMD and experiencing a roller coaster compared to the resting state of sitting on a chair. The SSR response to physical or psychological stimulation increased in all subjects, but the degree of reactivity differed. These experimental results suggested that sympathetic skin response (SSR) is a useful tool as a biosignal that can be used to evaluate the human body's responsiveness to physical stimulation or psychological stimulation using virtual reality.

Nowadays, many interface devices or training systems have been developed with recent developments in IT technology but only a few training systems for developmentally disabled people have been introduced. In this paper, we present a real-time, interactional and situational training system based on augmented reality in order to improve cognitive capability and adaptive ability in the daily life of developmentally disabled people. Our system is specifically based on serving food in restaurants. This augmented reality based system provides them to experience various different situations safely and take the training session as much as they want under any circumstances. When they use our system, they are able to look around with Head Mounted Display(HMD) and take training sessions easily based on various situational scenarios. After experimenting on our system for 3 months, we found they had no aversion about wearing HMD and learned quicker as they practiced over and over and improved their cognitive capability and adaptive ability. We also got a positive feedback that it had an excellent educational value from teachers in special-education-school.

The development of Virtual Reality (VR)-related technologies has resulted in the improved performance of VR devices as well as affordable price arrangements, granting many users easy access to VR technology. VR drawing applications are not complicated for users and are also highly mature, being used for education, performances, and more. For controller-based spatial drawing interfaces, the user's drawing interface becomes constrained by the controller. This study proposes hand interaction based spatial drawing system where the user, who has never used the controller before, can intuitively use the drawing application by mounting LEAP Motion at the front of the Head Mounted Display (HMD). This traces the motion of the user's hand in front of the HMD to draw curved surfaces in virtual environments.

Recently, with the rapid development of virtual reality technology, there have been more and more applications of virtual reality technology in various fields. In order to realize a virtual reality, a method of implementing a visualization environment through an HMD (Head Mounted Display) is widely used. However, in the current visualization environment through the HMD, the user feels dizziness when worn, It has the disadvantage of imposing restrictions on. In this study, it is aimed to realize virtual reality visualization environment through multi-screen environment which improves the experience effect of virtual environment by using existing screen instead of visualization through HMD, and compensates for shortcomings of HMD method. In order to realize a multi-screen environment as a highly visualized environment, a technique for matching the spatial position of the multi-screen with the spatial position of the virtual environment is required. To do this, we need an efficient method to precisely measure the position of the space, and we propose a spatial position compensation methodology that can efficiently and precisely measure the position of the real space and reflect it in the virtual environment.

There are many pros and cons for whether smart glasses and watch would be further going technology or not beyond smart phone. What have to do domestically is to find acting ways to catch up with technological gap in short term basis through analyses and investigations in technological issues, patents profile, market forecast. In this paper, firstly we investigate and review technological issues and form factors of smart glasses and HMD, and secondly analyze technological tendency and identify their core technology and intension from global key player's patents analyses connected with smart glasses, and conclusively suggest technological prospects and it's countermeasures.

최근 들어, 실감형 콘텐츠를 제작하기 위한 무안경 다시점 3DTV 와 가상, 증강현실 콘텐츠에 대한 기술개발이 활발해 지고 있다. 또한, UHDTV 의 등장으로 무안경 다시점 3DTV 의 걸림돌이던 해상도 저하문제가 해결되면서 시점당 해상도가 향상된 다시점 3D 디스플레이 상용품 및 시제품들이 발표되고 있다. 하지만, 시청 위치가 한정되어 있고, 시청자에게 눈의 피로를 일으키며, 비싼 가격으로 인해 아직까지 소비자에게 좋은 반응을 얻지 못하고 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문은 다시점 영상을 증강현실로 보여주는 방법을 소개한다. 제안한 방법을 사용하기 위해, 다시점 카메라 시스템으로 영상을 획득하고, HMD (head mounted display)와 휴대용 (handheld) 장치를 사용하여 다시점 영상을 시청한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 시점 제한 문제를 해결할 수 있음을 확인했으며, 제안한 방법을 활용하여 다양한 실감형 콘텐츠를 제작할 것으로 기대한다.

최근 가상현실을 활용한 게임콘텐츠들이 많이 제작되고 있다. 그러나 킬러콘텐츠가 부족한 상황이며 가상현실 게임을 즐기기 위해 사용하는 HMD(Head Mounted Display)는 멀미감 때문에 장시간 사용하기 힘들다. 본 연구에서는 멀미감을 최소화할 수 있는 퍼즐과 요즈음 오프라인에서 인기가 있는 방탕출 게임을 동시에 즐길 수 있는 콘텐츠를 제안한다. 특히, 개발한 콘텐츠는 Unreal Engine을 사용함으로서 게임에 현실성을 더욱 가미할 수 있었고 남녀노소 누구나 즐길 수 있는 범용적인 콘텐츠이다. Unreal Engine을 활용한 게임이 별로 많지 않아 본 콘텐츠는 향후 Unreal Engine를 활용한 게임을 제작하는데 도움이 될것이라 사료된다.

최근 3D 및 증강현실 기술이 발전함에 따라 사용자는 특수한 장비를 착용하지 않고서도 주변의 다양한 서비스 및 콘텐츠가 현실 세계와 결합되어 디스플레이 되며, 손의 감각과 인식에 따라 직접 상호작용하는 것을 요구한다. 이에 따라 기존 see-through HMD(Head Mounted Display)나 모니터 화면을 벗어나 실세계의 객체에 직접 증강된 현실을 보여주고 체험할 수 있는 프로젝션 기반 증강현실 기술의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 고에서는 프로젝션 기반 증강현실을 구현하기 위한 출력보정, 추적 및 정합, 상호작용 및 사용자 인터페이스 기술에 대한 동향을 살펴본다. 더불어 산업, 의료, 교육 및 엔터테인먼트, 모바일 응용 등 각 분야에서 활용되고 있는 최근의 프로젝션 기반 증강현실 기술동향을 소개한다.

최근 파노라마 영상과 같이 광각 카메라를 이용하여 인간의 시야각 이상의 범위를 사용자에게 제공하는 영상들을 쉽게 접할 수 있다. 초고해상도를 갖는 파노라마 이미지를 단일 디스플레이에 표출하게 되면 영상의 크기가 축소되고, 모니터 크기의 한정성으로 실감 시청에 불편함을 느끼고 있다. 본 논문에서는 객체 검출(object detection)을 이용한 사용자 위치정보와 관심영역(ROI)를 이용한 영상 제어를 이용하여 이러한 불편함을 느끼는 파노라마 영상을 해결한다. 따라서 사용자는 HMD(Head Mounted Display)와 같은 장치를 착용하지 않고 편리하고 실감 적으로 파노라마 영상을 시청할 수 있으며, 본 논문을 응용한 디스플레이와 상호작용을 통해 다양하고 더욱 실감 적으로 영상을 제어할 수 있는 기대효과를 가진다.
