This paper proposes how to develop a multi-sensory virtual reality system based on realistic media that can improve the sense of immersion and reality experienced by the user. We suggest four types of multi-sensory virtual reality system; a realistic media experience system which provides sensory experiences to user by interlocking the media file with the sensory informations and reproducing the sensory information suitable for the scene, a real image-based panorama experience system which maximizes the sense of reality, an experience ball system in which users engage themselves into the system environment to lead the story and immersion of the content through interaction with the system, and a cultural heritage experience system based on hand movement recognition. The suggested systems can be applied in a various area such as education, advertisement, culture and arts, performance, exhibition, sports, game, 4D Experience Center, and so on. We supposed that it can contribute to create a variety of sensible contents services in the realistic media industry through the convergence of media, contents, and devices.

Physically interactive sports games are expanding to be training forms to replace real sports. Previous Physically interactive sports games are mostly technical studies for reality and immersion, and there is a few research related to sports movements for exercise. In this paper, we implement the physically interactive spinning game by applying the functional movement of spinning so that it can't only replace the real spinning but also an individual can play. Sports functional movement is expected to be an appropriate way to create physically interactive sports games.

SporTainment is a compound of the words 'Sports' and 'Entertainment' and it possesses the meaning of doing sports and entertainment simultaneously. In addition, in the immersive media technology field, researches, which increase the feeling of existence and immersion through the stimulation of the consumer's emotional feedback technology, have been actively conducted. Such, emotional feedback technologies are based on fun and excitement and are activities, in which learning effects are included such as games, education, national defense etc. In addition, the emotional feedback technology is expanding in applied services, which maximize the feeling of existence and immersion of the consumers by adding reality effects in the virtual environment. In this research, the presence of the user was increased by developing a realistic bike simulation for the use of SporTainment, which combine emotional effects and reappearance devices in the bike simulation.

The method of operating a game could determine the psychological distance between the player and the game character, and thus, in the Virtual Reality, players' control methodologies are important to enhance their immersion. This study has the objective of examining the difference in games according to the method of operation based on the player's movements. This study researched the effect of the method of operating movement conforming to the movement of the character and the physical operation of the body on forming game experiences for the player. The result of performing an experiment increased reality for the game player through a controller in the shape of the actual control, to increase focus in the game. As so, game play through movements, including actual movements by the player displayed to enhance game satisfaction. In the part of media remediation field, Game can be defined as media which has their own unique hypermediacy. Especially, in the motion based game, players' movement mediates players and the game, therefore, players' movement could make players' experience augmented or immediate in accordance with the characteristics of movements. Even though sports and dances genres of motion-based games are common, RPG or adventure genres are rare. It can be explained that the characteristics of the action have been explained in the immediacy. In a game of fantasy, which is difficult to experience in real-life situations, the nature of the player's motion can increase the immersion of the game, which can contribute to utilization of players' motion and experience design in the various genres and suggestion of grounds theory. In addition, through this study, it is able to design motion-based games of various genres.

Recently many studies has been conducted for interactive game to contents immersion through visual stimuli. Among them, Multi-Plane Image tech is suitable for projecting video in wide views, but it is difficult to perform calibration and mapping tasks for viewing separately. In this paper, we developed a calibration mapping applies to the field archery game space in the form of CAVE. As a result, we maintained the resolution confirmed the space through the video without distortion and expect to be applicable to the fields requiring presence, such as training contents.
