This study intends to propose an evaluation tool for analyzing the sense of immersion of realistic VR game contents in the metabus game industry, which is rapidly increasing recently. This paper presents an analysis tool to measure the degree of immersion after selecting three types VR games for research, and analyzing the immersion way method of the game. The research method analyzes how the user and the sense of immersion formed in the storytelling in the game can have an effect. Based on the results, we present an sense of immersion analysis and measurement method for evaluating the usability of VR game contents, which is a key element in the metaverse era. Furthermore, it expands the immersion element that appears in storytelling to the game industry and seeks a new direction of development through connection with the VR game industry.

With the spread of various digital devices, devices have become commonplace in modern society. Moreover, due to the increase in device usage and online learning while staying indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic, symptoms such as an increase in myopia in children due to eye fatigue, an increase in young presbyopia, and dry eye syndrome are increasing, and now people are paying attention to eye health. This is different from before. There are various prescriptions for eye health, but in this paper, we would like to propose a training method for enhancing visual function using VR contents. The analog methods of the existing teaching aids for visual function reinforcement training were planned and produced as digital contents, and VR-based training contents were selected from among the various methods carried out with teaching aids at the visual function training center, which can be made into contents. was developed with In the training process for each content, it was proposed to apply eye tracking to the VR device in order to give the user feedback on their participation in the training so that the management and concentration of the training process could be analyzed.

Immersion is a features of VR technology, and the most important condition for evaluating VR experience. With the improvement of VR technology, including the presentation accuracy of VR content, the degree of interaction is diversified, the user's immersion in VR equipment should not only be improved technically, but researched from the user's perception level. The paper defines two important factors, immersion and presence, in a participant's experience with a VR device. Although the current technology can already simulate the real environment information visually and audibly, the content of the VR environment is not enough for us to achieve a completely real experience. Based on the Flow theory of Csikszentmihalyi and the sensory immersion achieved by current technology, this paper proposes the key factors of how to achieve conscious immersion for users in VR media. We prove that immersion is an indicator of the true degree of sensory simulation of VR equipment and is the basis for the realization of flow experience. What really makes the participant feel a perfect experience is the content provided by the VR environment and gave participants a sense of presence, it is not limited to video or games. On the premise of the Multi-Sensory, Immersion, Interactivity and Imagination experience achieved by using virtual reality technology, combined with the content creation of flow theory, the interactive immersion achieved by users is an important method to realize the awareness immersion of VR equipment.

The virtual reality (VR) cartoon is a format of VR contents that leverage the characteristics of webtoons that provides the simple story line and graphical storytelling tools to strategically surmount limitations of VR contents design. The VR cartoon enables people to experience the imaginary three-dimensional space in the webtoon as a real space by the transformation of webtoon contents through VR prototyping. The VR cartoon successfully presents focused environment where people can readily pay attention to the contents without notable motion sickness. People have been familiar with the storytelling strategy in the context of published cartoons and webtoons, likely we've understood the narrative of a movie through the continuous scenes projected in the screen. Indeed, it has been recognized as a popular toolset of communication, where visual images are sequentially delivered by replacing multiple planar spaces to tell a story narrative. While there are discrete panels with the time and space resolution in the graphical cartoons, people can distill a commit closure based on their past experiences. This is a typical "grammar" of the cartoon, which can be extrapolated to the VR cartoon that provides a seminal storytelling strategy. In this article, we review how the storytelling strategy in webtoons has been transformed into that in VR cartoons, and analyze the key components of VR cartoons. We envision that our research can potentially create keystones to produce variety of new VR contents by reflecting various narrative media including cartoon as a 'sequential art'.

This study aims to explore the understanding of and the interest in realistic digital contents and examine their effectiveness, by implementing and applying VR around the science subject in middle schools. It organized each group of two for cooperative activities, in order to implement VR for 52 middle school students located at Y-county, who understood study contents and agreed to participate in the study. Then, it implemented and applied realistic digital contents regarding a change in the science geosphere and many kinds of forces, by extracting and designing them. As they implemented and applied VR around contents interest in science subject. VR assisted lessons made statistically significant differences in understanding and effectiveness of realistic digital contents. It will provide basic data used to cultivate future talents who can prepare for a change in the educational paradigms along with the fourth industrial revolution and adapt to the future knowledge-based society.

In this paper, we review curriculum of VR related Departments in 2-3 years colleges. We gather the educational requirements from the current and future VR industry, and we survey the VR short education courses and the curriculum. The demand for VR content is expected to more than triple by 2020 compared to the equipment industry. Therefore, a VR course at a practical two-year college should have a lot of contents-oriented curriculum.

본 논문에서는 교통약자들의 이동제한 및 한계와 코로나 19로 인한 관광산업의 손실을 해결할 VR/360도 가상현실을 통한 웹 플랫폼 개발을 제안한다. 이 연구는 활용될 자원인 계절과 날씨자료를 효율적으로 촬영 및 준비하여 기존의 VR/360도의 가상현실을 최대화하고, 기존의 로드뷰 API 및 VR기기의 응용을 다양화한다. 또한, 이 연구는 '관광지를 방문한다'라는 개념을 실외뿐만이 아니라 실내에서도 사실적으로 체험할 수 있음을 제시한다. 이때 사실적인 체험을 더욱 극대화하기 위하여 VR/360도에 접목된 계절과 날씨의 콘텐츠를 구매할 수 있게 하여 소비자에게 선택지 내에서의 다양성을 주고, 단순 체험이 아닌 관광산업의 경제적 이윤으로 연결한다. 본 논문에서는 예상결과를 통하여 기존의 단순 VR/360도 체험을 통한 가상현실에 비해 좀 더 다양한 환경 조성을 통한 콘텐츠와 관광산업의 개선 및 경제성 면에서 발전성을 보인다.

This study aims to analyze through empirical experiments for the effects of a 360 degree's VR travel contents on stress in the era of COVID-19, as stress has emerged as social problems due to restrictions on freedom of movement. For the empirical experiment, the hypothesis (Happiness level or Depression level or Arousal level will affect the level of stress after watching VR travel contents) was established. As a result, the depression level was adopted while the others were rejected. In order to relieve stress, it is necessary to be careful not to feel depressed, and it was found that even if we can't travel freely, we can reduce stress somewhat with VR travel contents in the untact era. In other words, the emotional state after watching VR travel contents has changed positively. It is hoped that the results of this study will be of some help to the tourism industry and VR production industry, which have been contracted.

리얼리티를 추구하는 영상기술의 발달은 가상현실을 구현하는 하드웨어의 발달을 불러왔다. 최근의 가상현실 콘텐츠들은 프로토타입이나 게임에의 시험 적용을 넘어 영화시장에도 문을 두드리고 있다. VR 콘텐츠가 보급되기 위해서는 하드웨어 뿐 아니라 콘텐츠의 제작방식에도 기존과 다른 접근 방식이 필요하다는 내용들이 제작 사례들을 통해 알려지고 있다. 본문에서는 VR 단편 영화의 카메라 설정과 관객들의 청취에 방해요소들을 사전에 줄여나가기 위해 모션캡쳐를 통해 사전영상제작을 수행한 사례를 통해 필요한 사전제작의 작업공정을 분석해 보았다.

Thanks to the 4th Industrial Revolution, interest in virtual reality increased and many improvements of VR devices were made. Among the VR devices, the simulator plays an important role in improving the real feeling of virtual presence. In this paper, we analyze the case of existing simulator and control method for efficient interlocking of motion simulator and VR contents, and classify motion control elements in VR contents into four types. Based on this preliminary study, this paper proposes a modular motion control method to help the contents and simulator work more effectively in the production of VR contents.
