Many limitations arise when using washout algorithms to calibrate input values in VR content-making environments using VR HMD and motion platforms. Thus, in this study, we designed a new fabrication method using a control object that turns acceleration into a rotational motion. A total of 30 people were tested to see if the improved method was better than the existing one. The results showed significant differences that the improved method is better for realism, immersion and ride comfort.

With the development of science and technology, virtual reality (VR) has become increasingly popular, being widely used in various fields such as aviation, education, medical science, culture, art, and entertainment. This technology with great potential has changed the way of human-computer interaction and the way people live and entertain. In the field of animation, virtual reality also brings a new viewing form and immersive experience. The paper demonstrates the production of VR animation and then discusses camera's position in VR animation. Where to place the VR camera to bring a comfortable viewing experience. The paper, with the proxemics as its theoretical framework, proposes the hypothesis about the camera position. Then the hypothesis is verified by a series of experiments in animation to discuss the correlation between camera position and proxemics theory.

In this paper, we planned to see the positive effects of the immersive virtual environment. In particular, the positive effect of presence on physical performance was explored. A total of 25 participants were recruited for this experiment and his/her physical performance was measured by Electromyography (EMG) while they were exercising (rowing), and presence was measured by a self-reported measure. The participants were randomly assigned to experience either a) Virtual Reality (VR) or b) non-VR (2D screen) condition when they played the exergame. The result showed that 1) there was a positive relationship between representation mode and presence and 2) the higher level of presence reinforced the user's physical performance. The limitation of the study and future study were also discussed.

This study aims to explore the problems of the VR content industry, which is the core of the newly emerging fourth industrial revolution and convergence new industry, and to find alternatives to solve them. Through in-depth interviews with experts, we collected elements that impeded the development of VR content industry. As a result, the simplification of the VR simulator's content changes, the regulation of the VR simulator was newly established within the Game Industry Act, and the diversification of the input amount were the reasons. Simplification of deliberation provides the basis for new platform business. The new law is to reflect the characteristics of VR content properly and to avoid unnecessary regulation by existing laws. The adoption of various input methods is intended to actively expand the market for new industries. This study is expected to contribute the safe ecosystem by reviewing the factors that impede the development of the new industry as suggesting alternatives.

With the development of game technology, the realistic game graphics, interface technology, and various content services with immersion are being required in the content area. NUI has been developed through CLI and GUI. Unlike the conventional methods, it is an interface that could be the intuitive and realistic interface for human as a natural action realized. we propose a boxing simulation game using leap motion of it. Providing a realistic 3D experimental environment through VR headsets game, we also propose a method that can be calculated the scores if the user-controlled interface (fist) could be to punch the target (sandbag) of the internal in accordance with changes of the angle of target impact with the physical characteristics.

In this paper, we propose a new framework to control VR(Virtual reality) contents in real time using user's mouth-wind and acceleration sensor of mobile device. In VR, user interaction technology is important, but various user interface methods is still lacking. Most of the interaction technologies are hand touch screen touch or motion recognition. We propose a new interface technology that can interact with VR contents in real time using user's mouth-wind method with acceleration sensor. The direction of the mouth-wind is determined using the angle and position between the user and the mobile device, and the control position is adjusted using the acceleration sensor of the mobile device. Noise included in the size of the mouth wind is refined using a simple average filter. In order to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed technology, we show the result of interacting with contents in game and simulation in real time by applying control position and mouth-wind external force to the game.

일상 속에서 발생하는 화학 반응과 실제로 실험하기에는 위험한 화학 반응을 안전하게 체험해보며 게임을 하면서 부가적으로 화학 반응에 대한 지식을 얻어갈 수 있는 가상현실(VR) 게임 콘텐츠를 구현하고자 하였다. VR 이라는 장르를 적극적으로 활용하여 기존 PC 및 모바일 등의 게임 장르에서는 부족할 수 있는 공간감과 임장감을 채움으로써 현장감을 극대화할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study is about the VR controller that can provide an enhanced experience in VR by augmenting the sense of weight. In this study, the method of changing the center of gravity of the controller was used as a means of transmitting the sense of weight. The experiment was carried out with a device that could change the center of gravity to find the minimum distance at which people can perceive the difference in weight. The results showed that the weight difference between the two stimuli can be perceived at a distance of about 5 cm regardless of the position of the starting stimulus.

Currently, virtual reality technology is actively applied in the entertainment and game fields, and development of professional programs is gradually increasing due to the rapid development of Internet and web technologies. As the current paradigm for healthcare changes from treatment to prevention, it is more important to take good care of it in advance so it doesn't get sick. This paper allows users to monitor the amount of exercise directly after using VR sports games. By using this system, users can exercise more interestingly and manage their own fitness by receiving an analyzed amount of exercise.

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.
