Virtual reality, which is attracting attention due to the 4th Industrial Revolution and commercialization of 5G technology, is expanding its scope from gaming to tourism, leisure, and education, and the VR market is expected to expand continuously. As the VR market scales up in Korea, theme parks combining virtual reality contents are spreading around the city center. Unlike the existing theme parks, VR Theme Park is a small amusement culture space that is organized indoors, and you can enjoy attractions (ride) that can be enjoyed in an amusement park with virtual reality contents. Virtual reality content, which has the same characteristics as a theme park whose purpose is to experience extraordinary experiences, provides high immersion and presence in combination with the physical stimulus of attraction. The virtual reality content combined with the attraction cannot be classified accurately with the existing classification method, so a new classification method is proposed according to the experience type and the installation type. The contents were categorized through the case of the domestic VR theme park, and the planning direction for the creation of the virtual reality attraction contents that was going on was sought.

최근 중소 테마파크들은 방문객의 감소로 인한 운영의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 새로운 어트랙션의 도입 및 테마파크의 리뉴얼을 통해 방문객 증가를 유도하기에는 천문학적인 비용이 소요된다. 이런 비용 소모는 운영 업체의 입장에서 부담하기 쉽지 않은 구조로 새로운 방법으로 방문객의 재방문률을 높일 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 대표적인 방안으로 최근 높은 관심으로 인해 관련 기술 및 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 VR 시스템의 어트랙션 적용이 있다. 많은 움직임이 없고 안정적인 속도로 운영되는 어트랙션에 VR의 콘텐츠를 적용하여 사용자의 탑승률을 높이고 이로 인해 재방문률 또한 증가 시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료되어 많은 접근이 시도되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 어트랙션의 탑승자에게 몰입감 높은 VR 콘텐츠 제공을 위해 탑승한 어트랙션의 움직임과 VR영상을 동기화 하는 매칭 모듈에 대해 제안한다. 제안하는 모듈은 가속도 센서의 움직임에 따라 1차 적분하여 속도를 산출하고 이를 2차 적분하여 거리를 산출한다. 기존의 가속도 센서를 통한 이동거리 판단에는 칼만 필터를 적용한 오차 보정, 다분화 사다리꼴 적분 등의 연산이 필요하지만 본 논문의 고정 어트랙션에서는 탑승체의 방향이 결정되어 있어 최소화된 연산으로 정확한 이동거리를 판단할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

VR and AR technologies are recognized as one of important technologies during 4th Industrial Revolution Era. Also, the market size of VR/AR are anticipated to grow up to $150 billion by 2020. These technologies are used in theme parks as well as in other industries including games and films. The purpose of this study is to recognize the trend of VR/AR application in theme park attractions and recommend optimal ways for the future applications. The trends were studied from number of publications while future model was developed after visiting theme parks and interviewing the industry experts. As a result, number of theme parks and LBCs(Location Based Center) are using VR/AR in many of their attractions already, but still holds a number of issues. These issues could be overcome if Fun, Efficiency and Technology are considered holistic ways in the future. Further, conformity of the technologies and theme park concept should also be examined.

Recently, VR and AR are emerging as an area of interest in ICT. In virtual reality to feel like a real, many people are looking for them because of its charm. However, the motion of the VR image and the moving object are not synchronized exactly, and a problem of feeling nausea is also occurring. The problem should be solved by the application of Attraction in the VR system. In this paper, we propose a module that minimizes delay time by synchronizing movement of VR image and moving object. The proposed module calculates the moving distance using the direction and the acceleration sensor that the user views through the VR device. The module proposed in this paper will pay attention to the fact that the movement of the attraction moves along a fixed path, so that the accurate travel distance can be calculated.

Visual Reality technology is becoming more and more interesting as it attracts people's interest. VR technology is used in various markets such as games, animation, and education. However, there were many people experiencing motion sickness such as dizziness and headache due to the delay time between hardware such as a device for sending a video after experiencing a VR image and an HMD for reproducing an image. The system proposed in this paper focuses on the environment rather than the movement of the attraction and detects the dividing line existing on the path by the proximity sensor and accurately calculates the position on the path according to the user 's motion. Since the position of the user is synchronized with the VR image, the position error of the user is improved to 0.2%.

As the theme of a theme park space with limited space emerged as a keyword, many experiments and research were conducted in the field. In the domestic market, not only the creation of new spaces, but also the need to develop marginalized spaces and seek complementary points through new interpretations of actual spaces, but they show physical limitations. This study newly redefined and analyzed the concept of space by approaching and interpreting virtual space as a new space. By exploring real-world examples and analyzing the results, we also derive the results that the possibility of realistic media in the virtual world is an exemplary alternative to complementing the expansion and limitations of the space. Realistic media has a wide range of content provision in selective development such as AR and VR, and the theme park's characteristic of providing various contents for quarterly concepts even if the development budget and time are small, which has a significant impact on the development of realistic media. Currently, theme parks are attracting countless majors and officials related to realistic media through metaverse. As it is attracting attention in such a new market, we look forward to seeing a lot of research and experiments in the project.
