웹 3D 기술은 과학, 의료, 공학 그리고 멀티미디어 가시화의 경험을 시뮬레이션하기 위해 사용될 수 있다. 웹 환경에서 3D 가상현실은 운영체제 등에 관계없이 사용될 수 있으며, 가상현실은 3차원 컴퓨터에 의해 생성된 현실적인 영상, 음향과 다른 감각을 표현하고 사람들과의 사용작용을 원활하게 하기 위해 사용될 수 있다. 특히 가상현실에 참여하는 사람들은 몰임하여 객체를 조작할 수도 있고, 원하는 목표를 위해 단계별 행동을 실행할 수 있다. 일반적으로 웹 환경에서 3D 상호작용 콘텐츠를 정의한 ISO 국제표준인 X3D를 이용하여 가상현실 공간을 생성한다. 본 논문에서는 X3D 가상현실 공간에서 스테레오 렌더링을 논의하고, HMD VR을 위한 새로운 X3D 노드를 제안한다. 제안한 노드들은 X3D 웹 브라우저인 X3DOM에 의해 가시화되었다.

Acrophobia is a symptom of feeling an abnormal fear of heights. Medications or cognitive-behavior methods have been mainly used to treat the acrophobia. In these days the virtua1 reality technology has been applied to treat such an anxiety disorders. In this thesis, an telemedicine assistant system for treatment of acrophobia using biomedical signals and virtual reality technique is proposed. I made two virtual reality simulations for treatment of acrophobia and telemedicine system for communication between doctor and patient using personal computer. A virtual environment provides patient with stimuli which arouses phobia, and exposition to such environment makes him have ability to overcome the fear. Recently, the patient can take diagnosis from a medical doctor in distance with the telemedicine system. Multimedia conference service, on-line questionary, signal transfer system are needed to configure such system. Virtual reality simulation system that composed of position sensor, head mount display, and audio system, is also included in this telemedicine system. I added virtual environment update system to this virtual reality telemedicine system for treatment of acrophobia. Former acrophobia treatment systems use only patient's score of the questionary to appraise. The new system developed in this thesis uses not only patient's score of the questionary but also biomedical signals such as HR, GSR amplitude, GSR RT to increase the objectivity and quantitativity. The experimental results show that HR and GSR amplitude are useful for decision of acrophobia. We will apply this system to the acrophobia patient in distance and be able to offer better medical treatment for mental illness in near future.

This study is to explain the importance and the necessity of virtual cyber-tour in a virtual reality environment, and to present a way of its realization as a mean to surmount the fundamental constraints in current tourism, arising mainly from the individual health, cost, leisure time, and the low perception on tourism culture. This virtual cyber-tour using virtual reality technology will not only provide various indirect tour experiences to the existing tour resources, but also develop a new type of tour system, leading to new worlds which have not been accessible to the Public because of various restrictions coming from the current technology, transportation means, and physical limit's of human body.

Visualized information platforms through building information modeling (BIM) such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) improves the efficiency of architectural information exchange. Despite that, less effort has been directed to evaluate the effectiveness of different BIM visualization platforms for architectural design review. This study fills these gaps and compares three BIM visualization tools for reviewing diverse architectural review factors and technology acceptance degree. Three main BIM visualization tools, which are desktop-based, virtual reality-based and augmented reality-based, were employed and different architectural review factors and user's technology acceptance degree was measured. As a result, VR and AR environment showed better visual presentation than desktop environment during design review. In terms of the technology acceptance level, VR and AR environments have received higher ratings compared to desktop environments. The detailed findings provide guidelines for participants and researchers involved in design review process to selectively adopt VR and AR system to various architectural design review components.

The concept of connector is introduced as mediator between virtual environment and real environment. A connector has interest on usefulness in real world while previous interfaces of virtual reality system have focus on virtual world. A functional connector among connectors gives solution if disorientation problem in virtual environment and helps user to take out the knowledge experienced through virtual reality system in real environment. An example of a functional connector is designed and developed. Evaluation of designed and developed. Evaluation of connector will be executed later.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate key user experience factors of interactions for Head Mounted Display (HMD) devices in the Virtual Reality Environment (VRE). Background: Virtual reality interaction research has been conducted steadily, while interaction methods and virtual reality devices have improved. Recently, all of the virtual reality devices are head mounted display based ones. Also, HMD-based interaction types include Remote Controller, Head Tracking, and Hand Gesture. However, there is few study on usability evaluation of virtual reality. Especially, the usability of HMD-based virtual reality was not investigated. Therefore, it is necessary to study the usability of HMD-based virtual reality. Method: HMD-based VR devices released recently have only three interaction types, 'Remote Controller', 'Head Tracking', and 'Hand Gesture'. We search 113 types of research to check the user experience factors or evaluation scales by interaction type. Finally, the key user experience factors or relevant evaluation scales are summarized considering the frequency used in the studies. Results: There are various key user experience factors by each interaction type. First, Remote controller's key user experience factors are 'Ease of learning', 'Ease of use', 'Satisfaction', 'Effectiveness', and 'Efficiency'. Also, Head tracking's key user experience factors are 'Sickness', 'Immersion', 'Intuitiveness', 'Stress', 'Fatigue', and 'Ease of learning'. Finally, Hand gesture's key user experience factors are 'Ease of learning', 'Ease of use', 'Feedback', 'Consistent', 'Simple', 'Natural', 'Efficiency', 'Responsiveness', 'Usefulness', 'Intuitiveness', and 'Adaptability'. Conclusion: We identified key user experience factors for each interaction type through literature review. However, we did not consider objective measures because each study adopted different performance factors. Application: The results of this study can be used when evaluating HMD-based interactions in virtual reality in terms of usability.

최근 4차 산업혁명 시대를 맞아 주목받고 있는 가상현실 기술이 사회 전반적으로 확산 및 보급됨에 따라 가상현실 산업에 대한 기대치는 점차 높아지고 있다. 이에 구글이나 페이스북 등 세계적인 대기업뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 삼성이나 LG 등 대기업들이 가상현실을 미래성장 동력으로 인식하여, R&D 및 초기 생태계 선점에 주력하고 있다. 그러나 국내에선 아직 글로벌 시장과 경쟁하기에는 환경이 제대로 갖추어져 있지 않고, 가상현실에 관련한 스타트업이나 중소기업이 생겨나고 있지만 성공한 기업의 사례가 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내외 가상현실 시장과 산업을 분석하고 활성화 방안을 제시한다. 거시적 관점으로는 PEST 분석과 미시적 관점으로는 SWOT(Strength, Weaknes, Opportunitiess, Threats)분석, 소비자 분석, 경쟁구조 분석 등을 실시하여 문제점을 도출하여 가상현실 산업이 발전하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 가상현실 생태계가 아직 형성되어 있지 않고 킬러콘텐츠와 국산 디바이스의 부재, 사업성의 불확실성이 문제점으로 도출되어 인력양성 프로그램 마련, 디바이스 구입 및 사용문제 개선 그리고 관련 사업에 관한 정부의 투자 확대 등을 해결방안으로 제시한다.

Numerous scholars have explored the modeling, control, and optimization of energy systems in buildings, offering new insights about technology and environments that can advance industry innovation. Eye trackers deliver objective eye-gaze data about visual and attentional processes. Due to its flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency in research, eye tracking has a control scheme that makes measuring rapid eye movement in three-dimensional space possible (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality). Because eye movement is an effective modality for digital interaction with a virtual environment, tracking how users scan a visual field and fix on various digital objects can help designers optimize building environments and materials. Although several scholars have conducted Virtual Reality studies in three-dimensional space, scholars have not agreed on a consistent way to analyze eye tracking data. We conducted eye tracking experiments using objects in three-dimensional space to find an objective way to process quantitative visual data. By applying a 12 × 12 grid framework for eye tracking analysis, we investigated how people gazed at objects in a virtual space wearing a headmounted display. The findings provide an empirical base for a standardized protocol for analyzing eye tracking data in the context of virtual environments.
