The purpose of this study was to develop prototype of virtual reality(VR) simulation with malocclusion models and evaluate its applicability. Task abilities, task completion time, and a satisfaction survey were compared between dentist trainees and dental students. Participants were instructed to observe virtual malocclusion models and then performed three tasks to diagnose the type of malocclusion, determine clinical findings and develop treatment plans. Their satisfaction with the simulation experience were evaluated using a questionnaire containing five questions. Task abilities of trainees related to clinical features and treatment plans were significantly higher than that of students(p < 0.01). In both groups, the task completion time for the second case was significantly reduced compared to that for the first case(p < 0.01). The satisfaction survey showed high scores and positive responses for this simulation in both groups. If the prototype of VR simulation is continuously advanced, it will be applicable for orthodontic education in pediatric dentistry.

For domestic urban railways, which have a 19.7% aging rate, a performance evaluation is necessary to establish capital improvement investment plans. The performance evaluation, which was recently enacted in the relevant law, points out the excessive time and effort for acquiring data and evaluation. This study developed a performance evaluation simulation prototype using a virtual reality (VR) method to use as training contents for railway performance evaluations. The practical use of the VR technique to reduce the working time under poor environment conditions was confirmed through a literature review. A survey and consultation were conducted for urban railway experts to determine the weight of the performance evaluation items and the facility breakdown structure. This information was utilized to develop performance evaluation sheets for simulation. Based on the evaluation sheet, a training content prototype that evaluates the performance of platform safety doors was developed using VR techniques with HTC VIVE equipment. VR simulation tests were conducted for six players, and the prototype was sufficiently advantageous for a visual confirmation of the facility information. The result is expected to be useful for engineers to understand the performance evaluation process efficiently before an actual performance evaluation of urban railway facilities.

In this paper, this objective is to obtain the mathematical model which describes the dynamic characteristics of variable reluctance(VR) step motor, the most important and most widely used motor in practice. In the development of the mathematical model for VR step motor, first the general nonlinear dynamic equations which describe the N-phase VR step motor are derived. These general equations are then applied to the multiple-step type of VR step motor in case, for simplicity, maynetic saturation and core lossess in the iron are neglected. These nonlinear dynamic equations are numerically analysed by the computer simulation, through which the performance characteristics of a step motor undertest are investigated under the various operating conditions.

The cameras generating 360 VR image are too expensive to be used publically. To overcome this problem, we propose a way to use smart phones instead of VR camera, where more than 100 pictures are taken by smart phone and are stitched into a 360 VR image. In this scenario, when moving objects are in some of the pictures, the stitched 360 VR image has various degradations, for example, ghost effect and mis-aligning. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to modify the seam finding algorithms, where the saliency map in ROI is generated to check whether the pixel belongs to visually salient objects or not. Various simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective to increase the quality of the generated 360 VR image.

In this paper, we present a simulation program to learn how to deal with crime situations by realizing a virtual environment using VR. Currently, education on various crimes is increasing year by year, but the crime prevention rate is not decreasing. It was developed to help prevent crime by using VR to experience these problems in an environment similar to reality, learn how to use various tools that have not been used directly, and experience virtual experiences through the metaverse.

본 논문은 노인의 외로움 해소를 위해 Unity 를 이용한 VR 멀티 시뮬레이션 게임 프로그램의 설계 및 개발 내용을 다루고 있다. 본 시뮬레이션은 주 타겟층인 노년층을 고려하여 최소한의 간단한 조작법을 지향하고 있으며 따라서 3D 1 인칭 어드벤처 시점, 바라보는 방향으로 이동하는 연속 이동방식을 채택하였다. 서버를 이용하여 2 인 이상의 멀티 시뮬레이션 환경을 지원하며 텍스트 채팅이 아닌 음성 채팅을 통하여 시뮬레이션 유저들 간의 소통을 지원해준다. 다른 유저들과 함께 GameObject 의 상호작용을 보며 대화를 이어가거나, 낚시, 채집 활동을 할 수 있다. 이로 하여금 노년층의 외로움 해소를 도울 수 있도록 개발하였다.

Recently, as indoor activities increase due to the spread of infectious diseases, the metaverse is attracting attention. Metaverse refers to content in which the virtual world and the real world are closely related, and its representative platform technology is VR(Virtual Reality). However, since VR hardware is difficult to access in terms of cost, the concept of streaming-based cloud VR has emerged. This study proposes a server configuration and deployment method in an edge network when metaverse content involving multiple users operates based on cloud VR. The proposed algorithm deploys the edge server in consideration of the network and computing resources and client location for cloud VR, which requires a high level of computing resources while at the same time is very sensitive to latency. Based on simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the total network traffic load regardless of the number of applications or the number of users through comparison with the existing deployment method.
