최근 국내에서 가상현실 시장을 확보하기 위해 국가 및 대기업들이 적극적인 노력을 하고 있다. 이는 가상현실 시장의 확대가 전세계적으로 급속하게 커져가고 있기 때문이다. 대부분의 콘텐츠들은 가상현실 콘텐츠로 전환 될 것을 예측하고 있으며, 이에 발 맞춰 국외 대기업들은 서로 가지고 있는 가상현실 기술제휴를 통해 새로운 기술들을 개발하고 매년 출시하고 있다. 이러한 VR, AR, MR (virtual, augmented, mixed Reality) 기술 및 콘텐츠 제작 기술의 보유는 앞으로의 중요한 핵심 경제를 주도할 원동력이 될 것이다. 따라서 국내에서도 최적화된 콘텐츠와 사용자의 경험 제공을 위해 소프트웨어 플랫폼 개발과 소프트웨어 탑재를 위한 하드웨어 개발에 적극적인 노력이 필요한 때이다. 이에 본고에서는 국내외 가상현실 기술 기반의 콘텐츠 동향에 대해 다룬다.

시대가 변화됨에 따라 다양한 비대면 방송들이 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 가상현실(VR)을 이용한 쇼케이스부터 실시간 쌍방향 소통을 활용한 무대까지 멀티뷰를 활용한 방송들이 여러 방향으로 활용되고 있으며. 이러한 환경 속에 관객과 조금 더 밀접한 방송을 진행하기 위한 여러 방법이 시도되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 현장에서 녹화되고 있는 모든 카메라 소스들을 썸네일 사이즈로 만들어 한눈에 알아볼 수 있는 플랫폼을 구성하여 시청자가 원하는 카메라를 선택해 보고 싶은 장면을 선택할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다.

We are suggesting an authoring tool can be used for prototyping in the augmented reality based product design environment. This tool is for authors without an engineering background to use. Our authoring tool can adjust the properties of visual, sound, and haptic feedback at the same time for more practical prototyping. Also the proposed modulated architecture can be applied flexibly to changes of platforms or hardware. Also user interfaces can be dynamically updated by changing just description files. finally, the suggested authoring methods exploit the advantages of both graphical and tangible user interfaces. Authors can intuitively make adjustments to many parameters using the TUI, and then they can do the same thing precisely using the GVI. The proposed authoring methods can be used for exhibition and entertainment contents using multi-sensory feedback in AR environment. As a future work, qualitative and quantitative usability test will be conducted.

In online exhibitions, the artist's differentiated exhibition composition is important because the exhibition immersion decreases compared to offline exhibitions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new online exhibition platform by developing a PC APP service that exhibits the work production process led by the artist. To this end, literature surveys, visitor surveys, and in-depth interviews were conducted. Based on this, a prototype was implemented with Figma and Unity. As a result of the study, visitors answered that online exhibition planning needs to be improved, and the artist said that if the artist's autonomy is guaranteed in the composition of the exhibition hall, the understanding of the work can be improved. By applying this, a system was developed that allows artists to display their own production process data. The significance of this paper is to help visitors improve their understanding of the work and improve the delivery of the artist's work.

In this paper, we propose a Mixed Reality based rehabilitation exercise solution with the goal of mitigating one of the most common chronic conditions among the elderly, musculoskeletal disorders. In modern society, as the number of elderly increases, more people engage in office work and engage in more sedentary activities. Due to repetitive work in the office, muscle strength decreases and this causes many difficulties in daily life. In this study, we developed a mixed reality based exercise platform to solve these chronic musculoskeletal diseases. VR is not appropriate for elderly because of dizziness. In addition, we developed a wearable sensor based on IMU and attached it to important parts of the upper body to motion tracking. We developed a algorithm synchronize to raw data from wearable sensor with in a vr avatar. Ederly can check in real time whether rehabilitation exercises are being performed accurately through the avatar.

Recently, due to COVID-19, non-face-to-face online lectures are being held all over the world. In higher education in the post-corona era, distance learning has become the main teaching and learning method. At this time, Metaverse is being proposed as a new alternative. Metaverse has basic elements such as avatars, 3D space, and activities accompanied by interaction, which can be seen as a difference compared to existing VR (Virtual Reality) contents. This study designed and built an educational metaverse platform that can be applied to actual lectures by reflecting the three elements of the metaverse.In addition, we implemented a cross-device-platform that supports various devices such as HMDs, smartphones, tablets, and PCs by reflecting user requirements through usability tests such as middle school, high school, college students, and parents, so that anyone can easily participate in Metaverse lectures. Currently, the metaverse platform is being developed and serviced in various ways, but there are hardly any services designed for education. Just as services such as Zoom, the existing video conferencing solution, were used for non-face-to-face education, some functions of the currently serviced metaverse are utilized for education and used in the form of a one-time event. The educational metaverse platform developed through this study is expected to be a reference in constructing the metaverse for education in the future.

Edutech is a compound word of education and technology, and is an educational paradigm in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. This refers to next-generation education using information and communication technology (ICT) such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), robots, and virtual reality (VR) of the 4th industrial revolution. e-Learning is being used as an online lecture for education in ICT, but edutech is attracting attention along with e-learning as the feeding of non-face-to-face education has rapidly increased due to COVID-19. Therefore, this paper summarizes the reviewed papers on the blockchain-based badge service platform, simulation-based collaborative e-Learning system, video English dictionary, and blockchain-based access control audit system.

Creating a virtual reality ecosystem is more important than anything else for virtual reality, which has recently been drawing attention as a sector of the fourth industrial revolution. Virtual reality ecosystem consists of content (C), device (D), platform (P), and network (N). While content is key among these, virtual reality depends on input and output devices, so device utilization is very important. Recently, hands-on devices are being developed for realistic experiences. This study presents examples of contents development using VirZOOM, an experienced device, to reduce immersion and motion sickness of VR contents. We look forward to further promoting the development of virtual reality content in the future through this study.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, games played an important role in people's lives. Numerous online users flocked to the game platform, and brand companies started using online games to promote their products. Medical institutions have also implemented policies for healthy physical activity through online games. In order to attract more global game users, research on immersion in games is also very important to prevent users from leaving the platform. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the common immersion elements of popular games by country and study them from the perspective of changing devices. In this paper, representative popular games of Korea, China, and Japan, which are recently called the dark horse of the game industry, are classified by devices of mobile, online PCs, and VR games and analyzed using immersion analysis tools proposed by researcher. Next, the representative metaverse games of the Web 3.0 era were analyzed, and their characteristics were compared with the results of the immersion analysis between Korea, China, and Japan, and proposed as game immersion elements suitable for metabus games.

In this paper, MPEG-I Immersive Audio Standardization and related trends are presented. MPEG-I Immersive Audio, which is under the development of standard documents at the exploration stage, can make a user interact with a virtual scene in 6 DoF manner and perceive sounds realistic and matching the user's spatial audio experience in the real world, in VR/AR environments that are expected as killer applications in hyper-connected environments such as 5G/6G. In order to do this, MPEG Audio Working Group has discussed the system architecture and related requirements for the spatial audio experience in VR/AR, audio evaluation platform (AEP) and encoder input format (EIF) for assessing the performance of submitted proponent technologies, and evaluation procedures.
