Purpose: This study aimed to establish effective training strategies and methods by comparing the effects of 360° virtual reality video and first-person video in non-face-to-face practical lectures. Methods: This crossover study, implemented May 18-31, 2020, included 27 participants. We compared 360° virtual reality video and first-person video. SPSS version 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: The 360° virtual reality video had a higher score of experience recognition (p=.039), vividness (p=.045), presence (p=.000), fantasy factor (p=.000) than the first-person video, but no significant difference was indicated for satisfaction (p=.348) or interest (p=.441). Conclusion: 360° virtual reality video and first-person video can be used as training alternatives to achieve the standard educational objectives in non-face-to-face practical lectures.

Purpose: This study simulates cardiac arrest situations in 360° virtual reality video clips and general video clips, and compares the correlations between educational media and experience recognition. Methods: Experimental research was carried out on a random control group (n=32) and experimental group (n=32) on March 20, 2019. Results: The groups where participants were trained with the 360° virtual reality video clips and a higher score of experience recognition (p=.047) than the group where participants were trained with the general video clips. Moreover, the subfactors of experience recognition including the sense of presence and vividness (p=.05), immersion (p<.05). experience (p<.01), fantasy factor (p<.05). and content satisfaction (p<.05) were positively correlated. Conclusion: Enhancing vividness and the sense of presence when developing virtual reality videos recorded with a 360° camera is thought to enable experience recognition without any direct interaction.

As non-face-to-face activities have become commonplace, online video conferencing platforms have become popular collaboration tools. However, existing video conferencing platforms have a structure in which one side unilaterally exchanges information, potentially increase the fatigue of meeting participants. In this study, we designed a video conferencing platform utilizing virtual reality (VR), a metaverse technology, to enable various interactions. A virtual conferencing space and realistic VR video conferencing content authoring tool support system were designed using Meta's Oculus Quest 2 hardware, the Unity engine, and 3D Max software. With the Photon software development kit, voice recognition was designed to perform automatic text translation with the Watson application programming interface, allowing the online video conferencing participants to communicate smoothly even if using different languages. It is expected that the proposed video conferencing platform will enable conference participants to interact and improve their work efficiency.

네트워크를 이용한 가상현실에 실시간 동영상이 도입되면서 가상공간은 더욱 현실감이 있게 되었다. 그러나 인터넷과 같이 자원을 예약할 수 없는 네트워크를 이용하여 가상현실을 제공하는 시스템에서 실시간 동영상을 처리하기 위해서 시스템의 확장성(scalability)을 고려하는 것은 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 동영상을 처리하는 가상현실 시스템을 위한 가상공간의 품질조정 방법을 제안하여 확장성을 고려한 네트워크형 가사연실 시스템을 설계 및 구현을 한다. 제안한 방법은 가상공간의 각 객체들의 중요도를 나타내는 IoP(Importance of Presence)를 제안하고, 가상현실 시스템에 과부하가 발생하면 제안된 IoP를 토대로 객체들의 품질을 제어함으로써 시스템의 확장성을 제공한다.

가상현실 기술은 인간이 현실세계에서 경험하는 것과 유사한 상호작용 행위를 가상의 공간을 통하여 체험할 수 있게 하는 기술이다. 가상현실 기술을 이용하여 3차인 가상공간에 참여한 사용자는 시간적 공간적 제약에 구애받지 않고 원하는 공간에서 다양한 경험을 할 수 있어서 영상산업, 오락, 시뮬레이션, 의료, 건축 및 설계분야 등 수많은 응용분야에서 그 기술이 활용되고 있다. 그 중 영상분야는 고 부가가치 산업으로 가장 각광을 받고 있는 분야라 할 수 있다. 이와 관련하여 본고에서는 영상산업의 영화, 방송, 광고, 인터넷 등 4가지로 분류하여 각각의 특징 및 적용사례와 발전 가능성을 관하여 살펴보고자 한다. 영상산업에서 가상현실 기술을 이용한 산업을 보면, 영화분야에서는 가상현실 기술을 이용하여 특수효과에 제작되고 있으며, 방송분야에서는 가상 스튜디오와 가상 캐릭터 도입으로 시청자에게 다양한 그래픽 가상세계를 제공하고 있다. 광고분야에서는 방송 생중계시 가상공간에 실시간으로 3차원적 광고 삽입하여 시청자에게 큰 시너지 효과를 줄 수가 있다. 또한, 가상현실 언어인 VRML의 등장으로 웹 상에서도 가상 박물관, 가상 모델하우스, 가상 홈쇼핑, 오락 등 3타원 가상현실 구현이 가능하게 되어 보다 다양한 엔터테인먼트 역할을 수행하고 있다. 이와 같이 본 고는 가상현실 기술을 이용하여 영상산업에 있어 활용방안을 모색하고자 하였다.

Owing to the environment in which it has become difficult to face people, on-tact communication has been activated, and online video conferencing platforms have become indispensable collaboration tools. Although costs have dropped and productivity has improved, communication remains poor. Recently, various companies, including existing online videoconferencing companies, have attempted to solve communication problems by establishing a videoconferencing platform within the virtual reality (Virtual Reality) space. Although the VR videoconference platform has only improved upon the benefits of existing video conferences, the problem of manually summarizing minutes because there is no function to summarize minute documents still remains. Therefore, this study proposes a method for establishing a meeting minute summary system without applying cases to a VR videoconference platform. This study aims to solve the problem of communication difficulties by combining VR, a metaverse technology, with an existing online video conferencing platform.

Virtual reality is being increasingly used for healing and therapy for mental health. In this study, we developed VR-based immersive content that enables virtual travel without the limitations of time and physical conditions. We aim to develop and produce VR content for relaxation and meditation using the beautiful natural scenery. To make realistic and immersive content, we took a video of natural sceneries with a small UAV connected to a VR camera. The content was developed through stitching, video editing and post-processing of the initially captured video data, and then the created VR video was inserted into the VR device. The produced content will be helpful for stress and used to heal the mind and body of exhausted modern people by providing the place with great scenery and sound in an immersive way at any time.

This study presents empirical evidence of the benefit of viewing narrative video clips on embedded virtual reality (VR) websites of hotels to relieve travel anxiety. As the effectiveness of using VR functions to relieve travel anxiety has been shown, we proposed that a VR website enhanced with narrative video clips could relieve travelers' anxiety about accommodations by showing the important aspects of a hotel. Thus, we created a website with a narrative video showing the escape route from a hotel room and another narrative video showing the surrounding neighborhood. We then conducted experiments by having human subjects explore the enhanced VR website and fill out a questionnaire. The results confirmed our hypothesis that there is a statistically significant relationship between relief from travel anxiety and the use of narrative videos on embedded VR websites of hotels.

Interest in virtual humans continues to increase due to the development of generative AI, extended reality, computer graphics technology, and the spread of a converged metaverse that goes beyond the boundaries between reality and virtuality. Despite the negative public opinion that virtual humans were just temporary form of entertainment event in the early days of their emergence, the reason they are showing continuous growth is due to the unique characteristics of virtual humans and the expansion of diverse usage from technological advancements. The production of video content using virtual humans is becoming vigorously active, but currently there is limitation and no exact process for the technology to apply virtual humans to video content for it to be produced accordingly to the characteristics or situations of virtual humans. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of virtual human production technology methods & processes, and identifying the impact of each production technology on the production environment through examples of virtual human content applied to domestic and international video contents. In conclusion, by proposing an appropriate production method for each content, we hope to develop and assist production practitioners so they can effectively use virtual humans in video content production.
