VR (Virtual reality) technologies have given engineers the ability to design, test, and evaluate engineering systems in a virtual environment. The virtual plant is the highlight of the application of the VR technology to plant engineering. Plant design, maintenance, control, management, operation are integrated in the virtual plant. The VR monitoring system including the concept of the virtual plant is developed to replace a current control room that has number of gages and warning lamps in two-dimensional panels which shows the operating status of a plant. The operating status of the plant is displayed in the VR monitoring system through the realistic computer graphics. Sophisticated, realistic and prompt control becomes possible. The VR monitoring system consists of advanced visualization, walk-through simulation and navigation. In the virtual environment, a user can navigate and interact with each component of a plant. In addition, the user can access the information by just clicking interesting component. The VR monitoring system is operated with various modules, such as (1) virtual plant constructed with Graphic Management System (GMS), (2) Touch & Tell System, and (3) Equipment DB System of Part. In order to confirm the usefulness of the VR monitoring system, a pilot gas plant which is currently being used for plant operator training is taken as application. The end of the paper gives an outlook on the future work and a brief conclusion.

Recently, with the rapid development of virtual reality technology, there have been more and more applications of virtual reality technology in various fields. In order to realize a virtual reality, a method of implementing a visualization environment through an HMD (Head Mounted Display) is widely used. However, in the current visualization environment through the HMD, the user feels dizziness when worn, It has the disadvantage of imposing restrictions on. In this study, it is aimed to realize virtual reality visualization environment through multi-screen environment which improves the experience effect of virtual environment by using existing screen instead of visualization through HMD, and compensates for shortcomings of HMD method. In order to realize a multi-screen environment as a highly visualized environment, a technique for matching the spatial position of the multi-screen with the spatial position of the virtual environment is required. To do this, we need an efficient method to precisely measure the position of the space, and we propose a spatial position compensation methodology that can efficiently and precisely measure the position of the real space and reflect it in the virtual environment.

가상 환경에서의 학습 시스템은 기존 E-Learning 시스템에서 부족했던 몰입감을 주고 사용자의 흥미 유발을 촉진할 수 있고 위험하거나 비용이 많이 드는 교육 컨텐츠를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 학습 유형을 실시간 강의, 상시 학습, 실습 교육, 그리고 스터디 그룹 활동으로 구분하였다. 혼합 현실을 제공하는 가상 세계인 Second Life를 이용하여 이들 학습 유형을 지원하는 온라인 강의 시스템을 구축하였다. 구축된 온라인 강의 시스템을 운영함으로써 가상 학습 환경을 제공하였다.

Virtual Reality(VR) is a new technology which makes humans communicate with computer. It allows the user to see, hear, feel and interact in a three-dimensional virtual world created graphically. In this paper, we introduced VR into psychotherapy area and developed VR system for the exposure therapy of acrophobia. Acrophobia is an abnormal fear of heights. Medications or cognitive-behavior methods have been mainly used as a treatment. Lately the virtual reality technology has been applied to that kind of anxiety disorders. A virtual environment provides patient with stimuli which arouses phobia, and exposing to that environment makes him having ability to over come the fear. In this study, the elevator stimulator that composed with a position sensor, head mount display, and audio system, is suggested. To illustrate the physiological difference between a person who has a feel of phobia and without phobia, heart rate was measured during experiment. And also measured a person's HR after the virtual reality training. In this study, we demonstrated the subjective effectiveness of virtual reality psychotherapy through the clinical experiment.

Vehicle driving simulators can provide engineers with benefits on the development and modification of vehicle models. One of the most important factors to realistic simulations is the fidelity given by a motion system and a real-time visual image generation system. Virtual reality technology has been widely used to achieve high fidelity. In this paper the virtual environment including a visual system like a head-mounted display is developed for a vehicle driving simulator system by employing the virtual reality technique. virtual vehicle and environment models are constructed using the object-oriented analysis and design approach. Accordint to the object model a three dimensional graphic model is developed with CAD tools such as Rhino and Pro/E. For the real-time image generation the optimized IRIS Performer 3D graphics library is embedded with the multi-thread methodology. Compared with the single loop apprach the proposed methodology yields an acceptable image generation speed 20 frames/sec for the simulator.

본 논문은 인간과 VR환경과의 상호작용을 지원하는 중요한 요소 중 하나인 이동의 문제점 및 해 결 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 이 논문에서 제시된 Intelligent Cruise-Control Navigation (ICCN)은 다중 사용자 환경의 가상공간을 이동할 때, 실세계와 유사한 이동방법을 제공하여 사용자로 하여금 가상공간에 대한 현장감 및 현실감의 제고에 초점을 두었다. ICCN은 사용자들이 가상공간에서 이동시 부가적인 입력이 없이도 일정한 속도로 이동을 지원하는 Constant Velocity Navigation, 이동 중 장애물 및 다른 사용자(아바타)와의 충돌현상을 감지 및 회피하는 Collision Detection and Avoidance, 그리고 충돌회피후 기존 방향으로의 계속된 이동을 지원하는 Path Adjustment등의 기능을 제공한다. ICCN은 사용자의 부가적인 노력의 감소 및 병행작업을 보장, 현실과 유사한 사용자 중심의 navigation 기 법 을 제공, 가상공간과 현실과의 괴리를 줄임으로써 가상현실이 추구하는 현실감 및 현장감을 높일 수 있도록 하였다. 실험을 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 ICCN이 사용자중심의 매우 자연스럽고, 쉽고 편리한 가상공간 navigation 인터페이스라는 평가를 얻었다.

The research of combining virtual reality technology with the design elements of children's picture book education is a relatively new topic in virtual reality technology in recent years. Based on the combination of picture book design elements with virtual reality technology and the development of a children's picture book teaching game, this article analyzes the effectiveness of the application of virtual reality technology in children's teaching, and explores the usability of picture book design elements in teaching [1]. Through literature research methods, practical research methods and investigation research methods, this paper lucubrates the application of virtual reality technology in the design elements of children's picture book education so as to provide adequate theoretical and practical support for the research theme. The spatial positioning, vision, sound, and functional requirements of children's picture book games play a leading role in teaching. Practical statistics have proved that it is easier to promote children's mastery of teaching knowledge in a virtual environment. Moreover, use VR's game management function and setting function to solve the boringness of traditional education methods and the limitations of the teaching environment. The feasibility of game operation provides a virtual teaching platform system for children's education, and the teaching effect is remarkable.
