Since the VR market is expected to have a high growth, this study aimed to investigate the human factor-related determinants of user satisfaction with mobile VR headsets. A pre-study of customer reviews was conducted with the help of semantic network analysis to identify the core keywords for understanding negative and positive predictors of mobile VR headset experiences. Through laboratory testing with three different commercial models, the main study measured and identified the predictors of user satisfaction. From the results, five factors were extracted as valid predictor variables and used for regression analysis. These factors were immersion, VR sickness, usability, wear-ability and menu navigation interface. All the five predictors were proved to be significant determinants of the perceived user satisfaction with mobile VR headsets. Usability was the strongest predictor, followed by VR sickness and wear-ability. Practical and theoretical implications of the results were discussed.

본 연구는 VR기기를 중심으로 VR기기 수용을 결정하는 다양한 요인들을 제출하고 이러한 요인들과 소비자들의 수용의도와의 관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 목적을 위해 VR기기를 사용해 본 중국 소비자 238명의 설문조사 데이터를 수집하여 AMOS 23.O를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 콘텐츠 다양성과 자기효능감이 지각된 용이성, 지각된 유희성과 지각된 유용성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 지각된 용이성은 지각된 유희성을 경유하여 지각된 유용성에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마케팅커뮤니케이션은 수용의도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤지만 지각된 가격은 수용의도에 유의하게 나타나지 않았다. 지각된 유용성, 지각된 용이성, 지각된 유희성은 모두 VR기기의 수용의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 VR기기에 주목하고 있는 기업이 타겟으로 하는 소비자들을 위해 고려해야 하는 요소들을 이해할 수 있는 유용한 마케팅 전략을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study developed evaluation indicators for the comfort experience of virtual reality (VR) headsets by classifying, defining, and weighting cybersickness-causing factors using the Delphi research method and analytic hierarchical process (AHP) approach. Four surveys were conducted with 20 experts on VR motion sickness. The expert surveys involved the 1) classification and definition of cybersickness-causing dimensions, classification of sub-factors for each dimension, and selection of evaluation indicators, 2) self-reassessment of the results of each step, 3) validity revaluation, and 4) final weighting calculation. Based on the surveys, the evaluation indicators for the comfort experience of VR headsets were classified into eight sub-factors: field of view (FoV)-device FoV, latency-device latency, framerate-device framerate, V-sync-device V-sync, rig-camera angle view, rig-no-parallax point, resolution-device resolution, and resolution-pixels per inch (PPI). A total of six dimensions and eight sub-factors were identified; sub-factor-based evaluation indicators were also developed.

Recent improvements in technology have increased the consumption of virtual reality (VR) contents on immersive displays. The VR experience depends on the type of displays as well as the quality of VR contents. However, research on the impacts of VR content quality on VR experience and comparisons among different types of immersive display devices are lacking. In this study, VR contents created with our VR framework, are provided to participants on conventional two-dimensional (2D) immersive displays and VR headset. The geometric alignment of VR contents is improved with the addition of two calibration modes (i.e. preprocessing and straightening). The subjective feelings of presence and cybersickness experienced by participants while consuming VR contents created by our framework and commercial solutions are recorded in the form of questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that the improvements in VR quality lead to a better presence and less cybersickness in both conventional 2D displays and VR headset. Furthermore, the level of presence and cybersickness increases in VR headsets as compared to conventional 2D displays. Finally, the VR content quality improvements lead to a better VR experience for our VR framework as compared to commercial solutions.

게임기술의 발전에 따라 콘텐츠 분야에서 현실적인 그래픽 기술과 자유로운 인터페이스와 실감형 콘텐츠 서비스가 요구되고 있다. 인터페이스 방식은 CLI에서 GUI로 GUI을 지나 NUI로 발전되고 있다. NUI는 기존의 인터페이스와는 달리 인간의 자연스런 행동을 직관적이고 실감적으로 이용할 수 있는 인터페이스이다. 본 논문에서는 NUI 인터페이스 가운데 립 모션을 이용한 권투 시뮬레이션 게임을 제안하고자 한다. 개발된 VR 헤드셋 게임을 통하여 실감형 3D 실험환경을 제공하여 사용자가 제어하는 인터페이스 (주먹)가 내부의 목표물 (샌드백)을 타격하게 되면, 물리적 특성인 목표물의 충격 각도의 변화에 따라 점수를 계산하는 방법을 적용하였다.

가상현실 경험에서 높은 감각적 몰입으로 시각으로 지각되는 정보와 전정기관, 체성감각 등 감각기가 지각하는 정보 간에 불일치가 생기면서 가상현실 멀미가 일어나 기기의 보급에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 감각의 충돌 이론에 착안하여 모션 컨트롤러로 대표되는 새로운 전반적인 신체의 움직임이 각성 정도와 현존감에 영향을 끼치며, 가상현실 멀미를 촉발할 수 있고 각성 정도는 감각적 몰입, 현존감과 깊은 관계가 있다는 가설을 세우고 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 특히 컨트롤을 위한 전체적인 신체의 움직임에 집중하여, 몸-머리 움직임과 대조하여 연구하였다. 실험의 결과로 신체 움직임과 각성 정도 간에 유의한 상관관계를 확인할 수 있었고, 현존감에 대해서도 일정 정도 유의한 상관 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또, 신체의 움직임이 있을 때, 안경의 착용 유무가 관측되는 가상현실 멀미에 중재변수로 역할을 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Virtual and augmented reality technologies provide access to learning materials and improve the organization of a modern library's media space. This article aims to identify the significance and role of virtual and augmented reality technologies in the modern library's media space organization. Methodology. The research uses a university library case study methodology to empirically investigate virtual and augmented reality technologies. Results. Virtual and augmented reality technologies provide research and improve learning outcomes by engaging students and learners with significant interest in such technologies. Libraries offer users the opportunity to create their VR content through available software. Students can test their VR content in the libraries' labs. Libraries support access to a variety of virtual and augmented reality content. The content is accessed using "virtual reality headsets" for viewing and workstations with "authoring software and loanable 360 cameras" for creating. The library lab is a space to support students' digital creativity and research through virtual and augmented reality. There are 3D Design Labs within the libraries as a medium to large group design learning spaces with virtual reality technology. Libraries form a media space where users can create videos, podcasts, portfolios, edit media, and book tours, and students and researchers can explore different scientific knowledge. In this way, technology ensures that risks in learning are minimized as opposed to hands-on seminars and classes.

Providing safety training to construction workers is essential to reduce safety accidents at the construction site. With the prosperity of visualization technologies, Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has been adopted for construction safety training by providing interactive learning experiences in a virtual environment. Previous research efforts on IVR-based training have found that the level of fidelity of interaction between real and virtual worlds is one of the important factors contributing to the sense of presence that would affect training performance. Various interactive devices that link activities between real and virtual worlds have been applied in IVR-based training, ranging from existing computer input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.) to specially designed devices such as high-end VR simulators. However, the need for high-fidelity interactive devices may hinder the applicability of IVR-based training as they would be more expensive than IVR headsets. In this regard, this study aims to understand the impact of the level of fidelity of interactive devices in the sense of presence in a virtual environment and the training performance during IVR-based forklift safety training. We conducted a comparative study by recruiting sixty participants, splitting them into two groups, and then providing different interactive devices such as a keyboard for a low fidelity group and a steering wheel and pedals for a high-fidelity group. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the sense of presence and task performance. These results indicate that the use of low-fidelity interactive devices would be acceptable for IVR-based safety training as safety training focuses on delivering safety knowledge, and thus would be different from skill transferring training that may need more realistic interaction between real and virtual worlds.
