Code and object reuse is big concern for fast and efficient Virtual Reality (VR) system development. Many VR packages offer reasonably nice abstractions for various functionalities. That is, software reuse at the functional level is well practiced. Many geometry models are rarely used for main \"characters\" but mostly for incidental and decorative objects. This is because the main \"character\" objects usually exhibit certain behavior incompatible with the way the geometric model is organized. Kim has made a clear distinction between form, function and behavior[1]. This naturally lends to a reuse method at the level form, function and behavior.nction and behavior.

This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) technology to identify and label key segments of the golf swing. To address the limitations of existing VR devices, we developed a platform to collect kinematic data from various VR devices using the OpenVR SDK (Software Development Kit) and SteamVR, and developed a semi-automated labeling technique to identify and label temporal changes in kinematic behavior through LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory)-based time series data analysis. The experiment consisted of 80 participants, 20 from each of the following age groups: teenage, young-adult, middle-aged, and elderly, collecting data from five swings each to build a total of 400 kinematic datasets. The proposed technique achieved consistently high accuracy (≥0.94) and F1 Score (≥0.95) across all age groups for the seven main phases of the golf swing. This work aims to lay the groundwork for segmenting exercise data and precisely assessing athletic performance on a segment-by-segment basis, thereby providing personalized feedback to individual users during future education and training.

Petroglyphs is an essential part of the worldwide cultural heritage since it plays a key role for the comprehension of prehistoric communities previous to writing. nowadays 3D data are a critical component to permanently record the form of important cultural heritage so that they might be passed down to future generations. Recent 3D scanning technologies allow the generation of very realistic 3D model that can be used for multimedia museum exhibitions to attract the users into the 3D world. In this paper, we develop the 3D petroglyph VR contents based on a novel gesture recognition method. The proposed gesture recognition method can recognizes the movements of the user using 3D depth sensor by comparing with the pre-defined movements. Also this paper presents new approaches for 3D petroglyphs data recording using 3D scanning technology as accurate and non-destructive tools.

Construction industry has a relatively higher industrial accident rate than other domestic industries. Thus, to reduce the accident rate, researches on the methodology of worker's safety education combined with new technologies like IT technology have increased. In the light of workers' safety information provision, this study develops a VR(Virtual Reality)-based construction site using the BIM(Building Information Modeling) data. The target structures and geographical features are included in the VR-based construction site where the construction machinery model and worker model are also created using a game engine. For highly effective provision of safety information, video clips with suitable captions corresponding to working processes were made with proper screen directing. They should be appropriately connected to correct worker's operations to improve the work commitment level, sense of reality and inducement of interest. From this scenario, the 3D VR-based construction site, which can be experienced through a VR equipment, was created and in the same platform, the safety information was provided by the video clip combined with the suitable captions. Although the real construction site involves various requirements depending on field situation and the expertness and experience of workers are not consistent, the developed safety information provision based on the VR construction site is expected to effectively reduce the incomplete factors leading to construction accidents by improving the worker's perception of workplace safety.

This study developed an English conversation learning program in immersive virtual reality (VR) environments and compared its effects with non-immersive VR environment using a computer monitor. The effects of the program was assessed using language anxiety and learning achievement. The results indicated that students' language anxiety decreased significantly after learning English conversation in VR environment, but there was no difference between immersive and non-immersive VR. The two VR conditions also produced similar learning outcomes. Future research on immersive VR need to address cyber sickness problems and develop effective learning contents in order to realize its potential for learning.

The presence-feeling enhancement method of a Virtual Reality (VR) simulator is proposed in this paper. The method is to increase realistic human feeling by mutual synergy effect between stereoscopic image and three-dimensional (3D) sound. In order to test the influence of mutual synergy effect, subject assessment with five university students is carried out using VR ship simulator having PC monitor and LCD shutter glasses. It I found that the averaged scale value of image naturalness is increased by 0.5 from $I_{nat}$=3.1 to 3.6 when blending stereoscopic images with 3D sound, and the averaged score value of sound localization is increased by 10% from $A_{SL}$ = 70~75% to $A_{SL}$ = 80~85% when blending 3D sound with stereoscopic image. In conclusion, the results show that the proposed method is able to increase the presence feeling in the VR simulator.

This paper presents the design of a JPEG-LS codec for lossless image compression from AR/VR device. The proposed JPEG-LS(: LosSless) codec is mainly composed of a context modeling block, a context update block, a pixel prediction block, a prediction error coding block, a data packetizer block, and a memory block. All operations are organized in a fully pipelined architecture for real time image processing and the LOCO-I compression algorithm using improved 2D approach to compliant with the SBT coding. Compared with a similar study in JPEG-LS, the Block-RAM size of proposed STB-FLC architecture is reduced to 1/3 compact and the parallel design of the predication block could improved the processing speed.

This paper presents a method to generate three-dimensional AR/VR models using the information in Isogen data files (IDFs). An IDF is an output file produced by ISOGEN that contains piping isometric drawings. A piping isometric drawing is used for pipeline installation in the shipyard; therefore, the drawing describes assembly information with symbolic features, not with detailed geometric features. An IDF specifies relationships between piping routes and components with three-dimensional points and tag information as well as the bill of the materials of a pipeline. The key idea of this paper is that AR/VR models can be generated with the piping route points data and piping components tag information in real time, without any conversion of standard data exchange file formats, such as STP, IGES, and SAT. This paper describes IDF data structure and suggests the geometry generation process with IDF data and parametric functions.

With the fast improvement of software and hardware technology of Virtual Reality, VR(Virtual Reality) film get attention for the new possibility of future film. Already, the production of virtual reality film festivals and Hollywood films is highly active, but it is still poorly related to virtual reality films in Korea. Due to this, this research analyze VR film with Realism films and Post-modernism films in four aspects that are film's frame(Mise-en-$Sc{\grave{e}}ne$), shot(montage), vew point and interactivity to deduct characteristics of VR film. Moreover, we also deduct an esthetical characteristic of VR films beyond the Realism films and Post-modern Films through analysing various VR films. This can be said as 'Digital Realism' that is come from the viewers' positive interaction and realization of Realism through Virtual Reality technology. There will be a successful development of VR film based on this research that analyse suitable directing method for Virtual Reality environment. At last, this research focused on characteristics of digital realism aspect for HMD based first person view VR animation .

Recently, in the Game industries, they are increasing to use of game engines to reduce the development cost of 3D content and software. In particular, Unreal Engine provides a blueprint visual scripting function that enables software production without programming (coding). Although High-end video content can be produced, the problem is that content development is complicated and requires advanced manpower. To solve this problem, we propose an optimized VR game context process. This is because 1) a Blueprint visual script is used, 2) VR games with various interactions can be produced, 3) Non-majors in the software field (or groups) can develop advanced content. In various related industries such as defense, medical care, manufacturing, and construction, we may easily develop any game content without programming with our refined VR rhythm action game development process. We expect to reduce the development cost with the process advantages in the game industries.
