In order to realize foreign language education, various existing educational media have been provided, but there are disadvantages in that the cost of the parish and the media program is high and the real-time responsiveness is poor. In this paper, we propose an artificial intelligence English conversation system based on VR and speech recognition. We used Google CardBoard VR and Google Speech API to build the system and developed artificial intelligence algorithms for providing virtual reality environment and talking. In the proposed speech recognition server system, the sentences spoken by the user can be divided into word units and compared with the data words stored in the database to provide the highest probability. Users can communicate with and respond to people in virtual reality. The function provided by the conversation is independent of the contextual conversations and themes, and the conversations with the AI assistant are implemented in real time so that the user system can be checked in real time. It is expected to contribute to the expansion of virtual education contents service related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution through the system combining the virtual reality and the voice recognition function proposed in this paper.

Computer game addiction generally signifies excessive or unhealthy inclination for computer games. Game addicts spend great amount of their time engrossed in playing games while neglecting the real world. They have the tendency to neglect important responsibilities and isolate themselves from others. Instead, they place greater importance on their status, performance, and achievement in games. Virtual stores, virtual libraries, virtual cinema, virtual trade shows, virtual schools, virtual characters have been emerging due to the popularity of the internet. An ambiguous term virtual reality has appeared in addition to the word virtual. There also appeared alien and UFO syndrome. Such social phenomenon has brought about confusion of reality and virtual world in which things that do not exist are mistakenly believed to exist. This study focuses on virtual reality games and provides an assessment of the causes and the side effects of game addiction and proposes countermeasures.
