This paper focuses on human activities monitoring problem using onboard smartphone sensors as data generator. Monitoring such activities can be very important to detect anomalies and prevent disease from patients. Machine learning (ML) algorithms appear to be ideal approaches to use for processing data from smartphone to get sense of how to classify human activities. ML algorithms depend on quality, the quantity and even more important, the properties or features, that can be learnt from data. This paper proposes a mobile virtual reality visualization system that helps to view data representation in a very immersive way so that its quality and discriminative characteristics may be evaluated and improved. The proposed system comes as well with a handy data collecting application that can be accessed directly by the VR visualization part.

360-degree video streaming technologies have been widely developed to provide immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. However, high computational power and bandwidth are required to transmit and render high-quality 360-degree video through a head-mounted display (HMD). One way to overcome this problem is by transmitting high-quality viewport areas. This paper therefore proposes a motion-constrained tile set (MCTS)-based tile extractor for versatile video coding (VVC). The proposed extractor extracts high-quality viewport tiles, which are simulcasted with low-quality whole video to respond to unexpected movements by the user. The experimental results demonstrate a savings of 24.81% in the bjøntegaard delta rate (BD-rate) saving for the luma peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) compared to the rate obtained using a VVC anchor without tiled streaming.

Cyber Sickness, which occurs when using Virtual Reality contents, is the most serious problem in immersive Virtual Reality contents. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects and causes of graphic environmental factors on Cyber Sickness in Virtual Reality contents. To this end, cyber sickness experiments were conducted according to the light source and material settings, which are most commonly used in graphical environmental elements. Cyber Sickness measurements were based on the Simulator Sickness Question(SSQ) tool to derive an index that causes Cyber Sickness As a result of the analysis, the smaller the surface roughness, the higher the degree of Cyber Sickness, and the smaller the surface roughness, the smoother the surface of the 3D object, and many specular reflections from the light source occurred, which was confirmed to be the cause of great Cyber Sickness.

Entering the digital cinema era, movies and games are remediating each other. The shots of digital movies are being transformed into realistic content through digital Moving long-take shots that transcend time and space and move smoothly. At this time, the digital Moving long take shot that continuously captures the space in all directions without an external screen induces a game experience. In addition, the camera that constantly accompanies the person enhances the sense of immersion in the game in a way similar to the point of view of the game. While various immersive device contents represented by VR, AR and XR are emerging, the advent of <1917> suggests significant implications for post-cinema in that it creates a game experience while maintaining the traditional screen environment and cinematic paradigm.

The size of the home interior market is growing rapidly as interest in interiors and self-interiors has increased due to the recent rapid increase in single-person households. Most of the Bathroom remodeling is done by requesting an offline interior contractor and then visually checking it in the final completion stage, so it is not easy to re-construct even if the customer is dissatisfied. Therefore, this study developed an immersive virtual reality-based Bathroom self-remodeling system that can visually check space and design from the design stage to the final stage by incorporating VR technology to feel realistic in virtual reality. The bathroom structure may select the basic structure of the predefined bathroom space or freely set the size of the bathroom space. For furniture items, you can choose the washbasin, toilet, bathtub, shower booth that are essential elements of the bathroom and others(mounting rack, trash bin, handle). The tile texture may change the texture of the selected tile at a desired wall position by selecting various textures. In particular,, the texture of the wall tile can be varied by selecting horizontal, vertical and inclined directions at the desired angle according to the needs of the user and the contractor. As a future research project, this system will enable indoor sharing between users who are physically far away in real-time, allowing direct experience in virtual spaces, connection to purchases, and request estimates.

This paper describes a novel and efficient algorithm, which extracts focused objects from still images with low depth-of-field (DOF). The algorithm unfolds into four modules. In the first module, a HOS map, in which the spatial distribution of the high-frequency components is represented, is obtained from an input low DOF image [1]. The second module finds OOI candidate by using characteristics of the HOS. Since it is possible to contain some holes in the region, the third module detects and fills them. In order to obtain an OOI, the last module gets rid of background pixels in the OOI candidate. The experimental results show that the proposed method is highly useful in various applications, such as image indexing for content-based retrieval from huge amounts of image database, image analysis for digital cameras, and video analysis for virtual reality, immersive video system, photo-realistic video scene generation and video indexing system.

The paper proposes a novel unsupervised video object segmentation algorithm for image sequences with low depth-of-field (DOF), which is a popular photographic technique enabling to represent the intention of photographer by giving a clear focus only on an object-of-interest (OOI). The proposed algorithm largely consists of two modules. The first module automatically extracts OOIs from the first frame by separating sharply focused OOIs from other out-of-focused foreground or background objects. The second module tracks OOIs for the rest of the video sequence, aimed at running the system in real-time, or at least, semi-real-time. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides an effective tool, which can be a basis of applications, such as video analysis for virtual reality, immersive video system, photo-realistic video scene generation and video indexing systems.

As the importance of online virtual space grows due to Corona Pandemic, interest in virtual space utilization technology is increasing, causing a boom in the growth of the untact technology and related content industry, and accelerating the transition to Metaverse era, a new virtual convergence platform based on virtual and reality. This study analyzed ZEPETO, a Metaverse platform and found that it provides a creative space through Built-it and ZEPETO Studio, and offers items and contents with active economic activity. This is the result of an analysis centered on ZEPETO, so it varies depending on the Metaverse platform. We look to find key items to activate a Metaverse platform and how to make best use of virtual assets crated in Metaverse in reality through Metaverse related technologies.
