Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of treadmill training with real optic flow scene on functional recovery of balance and balance self-efficacy in stroke patients. Design: Single blind, Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Nine patients following stroke were divided randomly into the treadmill with optic flow group (n=3), treadmill with virtual reality group (n=3), and control group (n=3). Subjects in the treadmill with optic flow group wore a head-mounted display in order to receive a speed modulated real optic flow scene during treadmill training for 30 minutes, while those in the treadmill with virtual reality group and control group received treadmill training with virtual reality and regular therapy for the same amount of time, five times per week for a period of three weeks. Timed up and go test (TUG) and activities-specific balance confidence scale (ABC scale) were evaluated before and after the intervention. Results: TUG in the treadmill training with optic flow group showed significantly greater improvement, compared with the treadmill training with virtual reality group and control group (p<0.05). Significantly greater improvement in the ABC scale was observed in the treadmill training with optic flow group and the tread mill training with virtual reality group, compared with the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: Findings of this study demonstrate that treadmill training with real optic flow scene can be helpful in improving balance and balance self-efficacy of patients with chronic stroke and may be used as a practical adjunct to routine rehabilitation therapy.

최근, 가상현실(VR) 기술을 이용하여 다양한 산업 분야의 훈련 시스템을 제작하여 교육에 널리 활용하고 있다. 가상현실 기반 훈련 시스템은 안전할 뿐만 아니라 재료의 낭비도 없고, 언제 어디서든 실습을 해 볼 수가 있어서 여러 가지 장점이 있다. 예를 들면, 가상현실 용접 훈련 시뮬레이션 시스템은 몰입형 환경에서 철판 모재의 접합을 실제와 같이 수행할 수 있어서 현장 작업자 및 신입 교육 훈련에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 이 때 철판 모재 접합을 사실적으로 표현하는 것이 훈련의 효과를 극대화하기 위해 중요하지만 기존의 기술로는 접합의 효과를 자연스럽게 표현하기에는 한계가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 용접 훈련 시스템을 구축하기 위해 접합 효과를 쉐이더 기반으로 표현하는 방법을 경험 DB와 수학적 모델 기반으로 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구 논문의 결과를 용접 훈련 시스템에 적용하면 철판 모재의 접합 가시화를 사용자에게 정밀도 높게 제공하여 용접 훈련 효과를 보다 향상하는데 도움을 줄 수 있겠다.

국방부에서는 "국방개혁 2.0"의 과학화 훈련체계 확대에 따라 가상현실·증강현실 기반의 실감형 전투 모의 훈련체계를 구축하기로 하였다. 실감형 전투 모의 훈련체계는 훈련자간 교전을 통해 실전과 같은 긴장감 조성과 훈련효과를 극대화 할 수 있어야 한다. 또한, 엄폐훈련을 통해 실전과 유사한 사격훈련과 동시에 생존훈련 효과 배가가 가능해야 한다. 선행 연구들은 훈련자의 사격 정밀도를 향상 시키기에는 적합한 기술이지만 실전과 같이 쌍방 교전을 연습하기는 어려우며 특히 엄폐물을 활용한 전투사격 훈련을 하기에는 부족한 점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상 사격 훈련자의 스크린에 상대 훈련자의 사격 자세를 인식하여 가상의 아바타를 생성하기 위해 Depth센서를 통해 취득된 깊이 정보를 토대로 훈련자와 엄폐물을 인지하고 훈련자의 자세를 추정할 수 있는 S/W 알고리즘을 제시한다.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate the effectiveness of an 8-week virtual reality exercise program designed around the Nintendo Wii (Wii), in improving balance among patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: The study included 16 patients with MS (10 female, 6 male) who were assigned randomly to experimental (n=8) or control group (n=8). Experimental group performed three 40-minute Wii balance-training sessions per week, for 8 weeks. The control group did not perform any of the training programs. A computerized dynamic posturography (Sensory Organizing Test, SOT) was used to evaluate all patients at baseline and at the end of the treatment protocol. Statistical significance was tested in between the patients before and after treatment by t-test. Results: After 24 training sessions, SOT showed significant difference on condition 5, 6, and vestibular ratios within the experimental group from baseline to post-intervention. By contrast, no significant difference was observed within the control groups. Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that the virtual reality training program could improve the outcomes in terms of balance in the MS population. Long term follow ups and the development of more efficient virtual reality training programs are needed.

Purpose: The study aims to establish an effective training strategy and methods by comparing the effects of educational interest, satisfaction, and achievements of virtual reality and videos education before simulation training. Methods: The randomized control study was implemented on May 31, 2018, by randomly selecting 36 participants to compare educational virtual reality and videos. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The participants were divided into an intervention group of 17(47.2%) and a control group of 19(52.8%). Regarding the levels of satisfaction, a significant difference (p= .010) was noted between the control (3.88 points) and the intervention groups (4.45 points). A significant difference (p= .001) was also noted between the intervention (80.3 points) and control (63.3 points) in terms of total simulation practical skills. Conclusion: Educational virtual reality can be an alternative training method to achieve the standard educational objectives by raising levels of educational interest and of achievement with practical skills.

This research examined the difference in cognitive load and the virtual presence depending on auditory feedback and task difficulty in haptic-based dental simulation. In the field of dental education, practice-centered training using handpiece has been crucial because a practitioner's psychomotor experience has a significant impact on the mastery of treatment skills. For the novice, it is necessary to reduce errors in dental treatment to enhancing skill acquisition in the haptic practice. In the training process, the force-feedback is crucial to elaborate subtle movement to guide what to do and how it should be hard or soft. However, It is not easy to add force-feedback to generate kinetic experience training. As an alternative method, we examined that auditory feedback can help learners' skill training. In this study, we analyzed how the presence/absence of auditory feedback at the different levels of task difficulty impacts learners' psychological demand and virtual presence in the virtual reality simulation. For this study, 29 dental college students participated in a dental simulation. The participants were grouped into two conditions that are with and without auditory feedback. Additionally, two consecutive tooth preparation tasks with different levels of difficulty were used in the simulation. The auditory feedback condition gives alarms to a learner when he treats a non-targeted tooth with a virtual handpiece. The user's cognitive load and virtual presence were measured to examine the effects of auditory feedback. The results revealed that the main effect was found in cognitive loads. Also, a significant interaction effect was shown in the virtual presence. We discussed the effective design methods for the virtual reality-based dental simulation through the result of this study.

In the real environment, it is very limited for the trainees to participate the effective training using actual training equipments by themselves and also to simulate several hazard situations for safety because of the direct exposure to the hazards of the actual system. But the virtual environment(VE) can help the trainees to get the effective training participating by themselves and to simulate all kind of possible situation without the exposure to the hazards of the actual system. In this paper, the new idea is proposed for developing the virtual driving system to provide a realistic driving experience for safety driving. The proposed idea contains the contents of a virtual driving system.

In this study, an electronic parts assembly training system using Leap Motion was developed in consideration of the processes actually operated in the assembly process of electronic products. Based on Leap Motion and Oculus VR equipment, the system was developed to transfer user's hand movement data in real time and convert it into hand movement in virtual space so that electronic parts assembly simulation can be performed step by step. Through this, it was confirmed that the user can obtain an experience similar to the actual electronic parts assembly work, prevent errors that may occur during the assembly process, and improve proficiency. It is expected that this thesis will provide directions for the quality improvement and development of various education and training programs for virtual reality-based manufacturing processes.

가상현실 훈련은 신체 기능을 개선하기 위한 중재로 제안되었다. 그러나 급성 뇌졸중 환자의 ADL 개선에 초점을 둔 가상현실 훈련의 효과는 명확하지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 급성 뇌졸중 환자의 손 기능 및 일상생활활동(ADL)에 대한 가상 현실 훈련의 효과를 조사하는 것이다. 급성 뇌졸중 환자 16명이 본 연구에 포함되었다. 실험 군(VRA군)은 각 세션마다 ADL에 중점을 둔 30분의 가상현실 훈련을 받았으며, 통제군은 30분의 보편적인 가상현실 훈련을 받았다. 피험자의 손기능과 ADL을 조사하기 위해 JTHFT(Jebsen-Tylor Hand Function Test)와 K-MBI (Korean Modified Barthel Index)를 각각 사용했다. 두 그룹 모두 중재 후 마비측과 비마비측의 손기능 및 K-MBI 총점에서 유의미한 개선을 보였다. 실험군은 통제군보다 중재 후 K-MBI의 자가관리 영역에서 유의하게 큰 향상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 급성 뇌졸중 환자에서 ADL에 중점을 둔 가상 현실 훈련이 기존의 가상 현실 훈련보다 자기관리에 더 나은 영향을 줄 수 있음을 시사한다.
