We proposed a new system for the postural balance rehabilitation training. For the purpose, we used the virtual hiking system using virtual reality technology. We evaluated the system by measuring the parameters such as path deviation, path deviation velocity, cycling time, and head movement. From our results, we verified the usefulness of virtual reality technology in rehabilitation. Our results showed that this system was effective postural balance rehabilitation training device and might be useful as the clinical equipment.

육군은 교육훈련 효과를 향상시키기 위해 노력을 경주하고 있다. 그러나 실제 훈련 시 많은 제한사항으로 인해 실전적인 교육훈련이 제한된다. 이러한 제한사항을 극복하기 위해 가상현실 기술을 활용하고 있다. 가상현실 기술은 다양한 유형으로 발전하고 있으며, 육군은 비용 대 교육효과를 고려하여 가상현실 훈련체계를 도입할 필요가 있다. 육군은 실제 장비와 유사하게 제작된 고비용의 시뮬레이터형을 주로 사용하고 있다. 최근에는 HMD(Head Mounted Display, 이하 HMD)를 착용한 저비용의 몰입형 가상현실 훈련체계도 사용 중이다. 본 연구는 육군 방공학교에서 운영중인 시뮬레이터형과 몰입형 가상현실 훈련체계에 대한 비용 대 교육효과를 분석한다. 연구 방법은 첫 번째, 계층적 분석기법(AHP : Analytic Hierarchy Process, 이하 AHP)으로 교육효과를 분석한다. 두 번째, 비용은 가상현실 훈련체계의 제작 비용을 적용하여 비용 대 교육효과를 분석한다. 분석결과, 비용 대 교육효과는 몰입형이 시뮬레이터형보다 3.4배 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이번 연구결과를 통해 가상현실 훈련체계의 비용 대 교육효과 분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능 할 것이다.

This paper will introduce the development case study about virtual-reality-based operation training system for steel making process. Steel making process consist iron making process to create liquid steel, pig iron, by reduction process, steel making process to make molten steel by refining, continuous casting process to make slab, and rolling process to make final product like coil, plate. This steel making process deals with liquid and solid products, so facilities of steel making process are very various and complicated. In addition, according to various customer requirements, the recycle of facilities and recipes changing have been fast. So the training for skilled operators is very important point. In this paper, we develop steel making training system based virtual reality for training skilled operator. This system consists of virtual machine, virtual HMI, and virtual control panel. And for fitting the characteristics of each process and increasing the education effectiveness, we develop dynamic methods like the method of dynamic education system configuration, initial facilities setup operation education system, and etc.

Training is one of the representative application fields of virtual reality technology where users can have virtual experience in a training task and working environment. Widely used in the medical and military fields, virtual-reality-based training systems are also useful in industrial fields, such as the aerospace industry, since they show superiority over real training environments in terms of accessibility, safety, and cost. The shipbuilding industry is known as a labor-intensive industry that demands a lot of skilled workers. In particular, painting jobs in the shipbuilding industry require a continuous supplement of human resources since many workers leave due to the poor working environment. In this paper, the authors present a virtual-reality-based training system for spray painting tasks in the shipbuilding industry. The design issues and implementation details of the training system are described, and also its advantages and shortcomings are discussed based on use cases in actual work fields.

An experience based training system concerning various fire situations which may result many casualties has been required to make rapid decision and improve the responsiveness. Recently, the necessity of virtual reality (VR) based training system which can replace a dangerous full-scale fire training and be easily adopted to the training or evaluation process is increasing. This study constructed tile virtual environment according to pre-defined scenarios, utilized the FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator), three dimensional computational fire analysis program, to derive numerically simulated data on the propagation of fire. Finally, by visualizing the realistic fire and smoke behavior through virtual reality technique and implementing real-time interaction, we developed a VR-based fire training simulator. Also, in order to ensure the sense for tile real of a virtual world and reaI-time performance at the same time, we proposed appropriate data processing and space search algorithms, demonstrate d the value of proposed method through experiments.

Background: Previous robot-mediated gait training has been proven several limitations such as pointless repeated motion training, decreased presence, etc. In this research, adult stroke patients were participated in robot-mediated gait training accompanied with or without virtual reality program. Objectives: Exploring whether the results indicated virtual reality system has contribution to muscle strength and balance ability. Design: A case series research, cross-over trial. Methods: Eleven participants (male 4, female 7) with adults diagnosed as stroke from medical doctor ware engaged. The participants received 2 treatment sessions of identical duration, robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality and robot-assisted gait training with screen-off randomly crossed over include 1-day for each person of wash-out period. The parameter was muscle activity, the researchers assessed sEMG (surface electromyography). Results: The result showed less muscle activities during training in robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality circumstances, and these indicated muscles were gluteus medius muscle, vastus medialis muscle, vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis muscle, semimembranosus muscle, gastrocnemius-lateral head, and soleus muscle (P<.05). Conclusion: In this study, we analyzed the outcome of muscle activity for clinical inference of robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality (VR). Less muscle activity was measured in the treatment accompanied by VR, therefore, a more systematic, in-depth and well-founded level of follow-up research is needed.

Purpose: This study was examined the effect of training using a Virtual Reality System on the sitting balance and Activities of Daily Living for patients with a spinal cord injury. Methods: The subjects were divided into an experimental (6 persons) and control group (5 persons). The experimental group trained the 5 programs, three times per week for 6 weeks using the Virtual Reality System and five days for week using conventional physical therapy. The control group trained five days for a week using conventional physical therapy. Results: The difference in the mean Spinal Cord Independence Measurement (SCIM) score in the experimental and control groups was increased to 8.33 and 6.60 (p=0.79), respectively. The difference in the mean functional reaching test in experimental and control group increased to 4.21 and 1.09 (p=0.25), respectively. The difference in the mean sitting time in experimental and control group increased to 41.05 and 10.33 (p=0.66), respectively. There was a difference in the mean of all variances but these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: These results suggest that training using the Virtual Reality System increased the SCIM, functional reaching test and sitting time in people with a spinal cord injury.
