With the progress in virtual reality technology, various virtual objects can be displayed using head-mounted displays (HMD). However, force feedback sensations such as pushing against a virtual object are not possible with an HMD only. Focusing on force feedback, desktop-type devices are generally used, but the user cannot move in a virtual space because such devices are fixed on a desk. With a wearable force feedback device, users can move around while experiencing force feedback. Therefore, the authors have developed a wearable force feedback device using a magnetorheological fluid clutch and pneumatic rubber artificial muscle, aiming at presenting the elasticity, friction, and viscosity of an object. To date, we have developed a wearable four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) force feedback device and have quantitatively evaluated that it can present commanded elastic, frictional, and viscous forces to the end effector. However, sensory evaluation with a human has not been performed. In this paper, therefore, we conduct a sensory evaluation of the proposed method. In the experiment, frictional and viscous forces are rendered in a virtual space using a 4-DOF force feedback device. Subjects are asked to answer questions on a 1- to 7-point scale, from 1 (not at all) to 4 (neither) to 7 (strongly). The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for all data, and answer 4 (neither) was used as compared standard data. The experimental results confirmed that the user could feel the presence or absence of viscous and frictional forces. However, the magnitude of those forces was not sensed correctly.

As Internet services have spread centering on mobiles, diverse services used in everyday life have become mobile services. For humans, residential spaces have significant implications as physical and psychological environments. Therefore, being provided with accurate information on the room that must be sought to find out the residential space wanted by the user can be said to be an important element of real estate apps. However, when buying real estate, people prefer searching for information using mobiles and verifying the information by visiting the real estate firsthand due to increases in damage due to false offerings. This way approaches as inconvenience in cases where the buyer lives far away or if the conditions are not suitable. Therefore, in the present study, a 'room finding application using VR' was designed and implemented using virtual reality (VR) used for diverse purposes. VR is a technology that provides the user with the sense of presence as if the user is actually present in the space. It was used in the present study as a means to provide more accurate information. The use of the application designed and implemented in the present study is expected to reduce false offerings information at least slightly so that users can be provided with more accurate information on the real estate of interest.

Interaction technique in .3D virtual environment is a decisive factor that affects the immersion and presence felt by users in virtual space. Especially, in fields that require exquisite manipulation of objects such as electronic manuals in desktop environment, interaction technique that supports effective and natural manipulation of object is in demand. In this paper, 3D scene graph can be internally divided and reconstructed to a list defending on the users selection and through moving focus among the selection candidate objects list, the user can select 3D object more accurately Also, by providing various feedbacks for each manipulation stage, more effective manipulation is possible. The proposed technique can be used as 3D user interface in areas that require exquisite object manipulation.

In this paper, we will discuss planning and production of VR contents for effective racing drone steering training. In the real world, direct racing drone training training is obviously a space and economic limit. We propose through the production of VR-based drone infiltration action game as a solution to these limitations and try to improve effective drone handling ability. Especially, we designed the virtual reality contents in a similar environment by using the similarity of FPV goggles and HMD based VR, and designed virtual drones, maps and obstacles considering the characteristics of the structures used in racing drone and drone racing. Also, we tried to increase the user's immersion and presence by increasing difficulty level of obstacles.

The current study investigated the effect of emoji use and gender on job interview training within virtual environment (VE). A 2 (emoji use: use vs. no use) × 2 (interviewee gender) × 2 (interviewer gender) mixed design experiment (N = 80) was conducted. The result shows that emoji may be implemented within VE to promote positive affect. Intimacy predicted better mutual understanding and higher attention. Practical implication is provided as using emoji in virtual environment can be utilized as a practice tool for job interviews, or for other potentially stressful social contexts.

Intrusion detection techniques based on virtual machine introspection (VMI) provide high temper-resistance in comparison with traditional in-host anti-virus tools. However, the presence of semantic gap also leads to the performance and compatibility problems. In order to map raw bits of hardware to meaningful information of virtual machine, detailed knowledge of different guest OS is required. In this work, we present VDSM, a lightweight and general approach based on driver separation mechanism: divide semantic view reconstruction into online driver of view generation and offline driver of semantics extraction. We have developed a prototype of VDSM and used it to do intrusion detection on 13 operation systems. The evaluation results show VDSM is effective and practical with a small performance overhead.

The explosive growth of data traffic and services has created cost challenges for networks. Studies have attempted to effectively apply network slicing in fifth generation networks to provide high speed, low latency, and various compatible services. However, in network slicing using mixed-integer linear programming, the operation count increases exponentially with the number of physical servers and virtual network functions (VNFs) to be allocated. Therefore, we propose an efficient slice allocation method based on cluster technology, comprising the following three steps: i) clustering physical servers; ii) selecting an appropriate cluster to allocate a VNF; iii) selecting an appropriate physical server for VNF allocation. Solver runtimes of the existing and proposed methods are compared, under similar settings, with respect to intra-slice isolation. The results show that solver runtime decreases, by approximately 30% on average, with an increase in the number of physical servers within the cluster in the presence of intra-slice isolation.

This study investigates the effectiveness of foreign language learning through diverse treatments in virtual settings, particularly by differentiating virtual environments with three textual enhancement techniques. A 2 × 3 mixed-factorial design was used, treating virtual environments as within-subject factors and textual enhancement techniques as between-subject factors. Participants experienced two videos, each in different virtual learning environments with one of the random textual enhancement techniques. The results showed that the interaction between different virtual environments and textual enhancement techniques had a statistically significant impact on presence among groups. In examining main effects of virtual environments, significant differences were observed in flow and attitude toward pre-post learning. Also, main effects of textual enhancements notably influenced flow, intention to use, learning satisfaction, and learning confidence. This study highlights the potential of Metaverse in foreign language learning, suggesting that learner experiences and effects vary with different virtual environments.
