  • Compared to the past, the number of disabled people in Korea is continuing to increase. As for the scope of the disability, it is expanding as well since it now includes all types of illnesses, car accidents, complications resulting from aging, industrial accidents and others accidents. Attempts are made in terms of applying sports game method that grafts IT technology in order to ensure that the disabled people participate continually in sports. While casting away the notion of play which was the role of a game in the past, new roles and domains were developed. In fact, serious game genre is what leads this change. Because serious game is leading the game industry fast, centered on education, sports, fitness and medical use, its market value can be considered very significant since it can be both fund and effective as it targets the disabled who cannot enjoy sports easily in reality. Accordingly, this research seeks to present the direction for the application of serious game for the disabled people by analyzing the current situation pertaining to the integrated and converged cases applied to the field of sports for the disabled when it comes to the serious game that uses contents based on the IT technology.

  • The purpose of this study is to find the characteristics of the blindness of Sim Bongsa, Sim Cheong's father, in Sim Cheong Jeon (the story of Sim Cheong). This is one of the representative works about the filial piety in Korea. This article regards the story as the process of restoring the sight of the father and tries to examine the cause and the timing of his blindness to make its diagnosis in the psychoanalytic perspective. The predominant characteristics of Sim Bongsa were very dependent and irresponsible. He was so unqualified to be a head of a family. He sought to close his eyes toward reality in his unconsciousness. His blindness can be diagnosed as a case of psychogenic hysteria, conversion disorder. The fact that he suddenly could see when the empress turned out to be his own daughter, Cheong, can be a meaningful proof for this diagnosis. It means that his symptom of blindness disappeared when he realized a new reality which ensures a comfortable and easy-going life for himself.

  • With the recent introduction of HMD devices, there is a growing interest in simulator games that are difficult to experience directly like a FPS, racing game. However, because these gaming require a large volume consol and a additive user manipulating devices for the more reality experience, most of these games are very expensive. Therefore, we propose the Arduino Air Mouse for a sniper simulator game, which maximizes realism and can be enjoyed with small volume and low cost devices. The implemented Arduino Air Mouse uses an acceleration sensor and gyro sensor. Specially, after this device was tested in the a sniper simulator game that is applied the ballistics in the Unity3D environment, the implemented game showed more reality.

  • Recently, the number of elderly people residing in nursing homes has increased rapidly due to the increase in the elderly population and the introduction of long-term care insurance. These long-term care patients suffer from chronic illnesses and dementia, and thus suffer from inconveniences or lack of cognitive ability. Thus, psychological and emotional support is urgent because they are depressed away from their families. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to provide a virtual experience of overseas trips by using VR and Photon networks for elderly patients with mobility difficulties. Existing VR-based travel experience service is doing alone, but the proposed contents can enjoy the scenery together with the view of the family member as well as the conversation during the travel experience. It is expected that the elderly patients with long - term care will be able to restore their psychological stability and improve their willingness to heal and improve their quality of life from the proposed application.

  • Although e-sports broadcasting market based on VR(Virtual Reality) is growing in these days, technology development for securing market competitiveness is quite inadequate in Korea. Global companies such as SLIVER and Facebook already developed and are trying to commercialize 360 VR broadcasting technology which is able to broadcast e-sports in 4K 30FPS VR video. However, 2D video is too poor to use for 360 VR video in that it brings less immersive experience and dizziness and has low resolution in the scene. this paper, we not only proposed and implemented virtual camera technology which is able to capture in-game space as 360 video with 4K 3D by 60FPS for e-sports VR broadcasting but also verified feasibleness of obtaining stereo 360 video up to 4K/60FPS by conducting experiment after setting up virtual camera in sample games from game engine and commercial games.

  • Cyber attacks on the aviation weapon system, a state-of-the-art asset, have become a reality and are approaching as a constant threat. However, due to the characteristics of embedded software of the current aviation weapon system, it is managed and operated without connection to the network in peacetime, so the response management to cyber attacks is relatively weak. Therefore, when a cyber attack becomes a reality, it is urgent to prepare and evaluate measures for the adverse effects that such attack will have on the execution of the Air Tasking Order(ATO). In this paper, we propose a framework for operational impact assessment in order to avoid confusion in ATO execution and systematic response to cyber attacks on aviation weapons systems. The proposed framework is designed to minimize the negative impact on operations against cyber attacks that may occur under no warning by analyzing the impact on air operations for each aviation weapon system and standardizing countermeasures for this. In addition, it supports the operational commander to make a quick decision to command for the execution of the operation even in a situation where a cyber attack occurs.

  • The utilization of virtual reality is increasing not only in games but also in medical care such as rehabilitation. Due to the convenience, the motion of the upper limb is detected using a non-contact method using video or a handheld type mouse, etc. In this paper, we implemented a glove which can measure finger movements and upper limb movements by using flex sensors whose resistance value changes according to the degree of folding and inertial sensors which can obtain direction information in space. We showed the upper arm movements including finger movements with signals obtained from the implemented glove on the open software platform, Processing. The sensitivity of each finger movement was 0.5deg, and the sensitivity of the upper limb motion was 0.6deg.

  • Recently, with the rapid development of eXtended Reality(XR) technology, the development and use of education and training systems using XR technology is increasing significantly. In particular, in areas that involve great risks and high costs such as military training and counter-terrorism training, the use of XR based simulators is preferred because they can improve training performance, reduce training costs, and minimize the risk of safety issues that may occur in actual training, by creating a training environment similar to actual training. In this paper, we propose a plan to build and evaluate an XR based hyper-realistic counter-terrorism education, training, and evaluation system to improve the ROK police's ability to respond to terrorist situations using the 5G and AR based Integrated Command and Control Platform previously developed by the Korea Military Academy. The proposed system is designed to improve counter-terrorism capabilities with virtual training for individual and team units based on hyper-realistic content and training scenarios. Futhermore, it can also be used as a on-site command and control post in connection with a simulation training site and an actual operation site.
