Exact optical characterization of virtual and augmented reality devices using conventional luminance measuring methods is a time-consuming process. A new measurement method is proposed to estimate in a relatively short time the boundary of ray trajectories emitting from a specific position on a virtual images. It is assumed that the virtual image can be modeled to be formed in front of one's eyes and seen through some optical aperture (field stop) that limits the field of view. Circular and rectangular shaped virtual images were investigated. From the estimated ray boundary, optical characteristics, such as the viewing direction and three dimensional range inside which a eye can observe the specified positions of the virtual image, were derived. The proposed method can provide useful data for avoiding the unnecessary measurements required for the previously reported method. Therefore, this method can be complementary to the previously reported method for reducing the whole measurement time of optical characteristics.

Recently, augmented reality and virtual reality in the ICT sector have been highlighted. So also interested in related HMD areas to facilitate contact with the VR content is being attend. This paper proposes a method for implementing to the virtual reality through the mobile HMD device with the real time 360 image. This system is required the real time 360 image streaming server configuration and image processing for augmented reality and virtual reality. The configuration of the streaming server is configured the DB server to store images and the relay server that can relay images to other devices. Augmented image processing module is composed based on markerless tracking, and there are four modules that are recognition, tracking, detecting and learning module. Also, the purpose of this paper is shown the augmented 360 image processing through the Mobile HMD.

디지털 미디어 환경의 상호작용 가능성은 인간의 표현 방식에 채택되어 디지털 기술의 역동적인 측면을 의미화구조와 통합함으로써 영상의 표현 범위는 물론 영상 수용의 패러다임을 전환하고 있다. 가상현실 영상은 얼마나 생생하게 현실을 모사하고 있는가와 같은 핍진성(verisimilitude)의 문제를 넘어 제작자-영상-관객으로 이어지는 영상의 제작과 수용의 일방향적 메커니즘을 변화시키고 있다는 점에서 중요한 의미를 지니고 있다. 무엇보다도 가상현실 영상은 일방적으로 제시되는 것이 아니라 이용자에 의해 구성되는 상호작용적 영상이다. 가상현실 영상을 본다는 것은 카메라가 비추는 것만을 보는 것이 아니라 마치 현실 세계에서와 같은 시야를 확보하게 된다. 따라서 프레이밍을 통해 통제되던 영상이 이용자에 의해 적극적으로 구성되는 것으로 변화한다. 이는 영상자체의 존재 양식의 변화는 물론 영상 수용 패러다임의 전환을 의미한다. 아울러 영상의 서술구조와 그 과정에서 구성되는 주체에 대해서도 새로운 논의를 요구하는 것이다. 가상현실 영상에서 이용자의 시선은 영상 안의 시선과 영상 밖의 시선이 융합된 것이다. 가상현실 영상에서 시선의 주체로서 이용자의 위치는 쇼트의 연결, 내레이션과 같은 담론의 장치에 의해 지속적으로 제한되기 때문이다. 가상현실 영상의 의의는 미학적으로 완성도 높은 영상을 보여주는 것을 넘어 이용자에 따라 영상이 재구성됨으로써 영상 속에 이용자의 존재를 적극적으로 반영하고 거기에 이용자를 참여시키는데 있다.

According to a survey published in an authoritative journal in January 2020, the globalincidence rate of mental illness is 8.3% for men and 10.6% for women, which indicates thatmental illness has become a globally recognized obstacle. Therefore, specific psychotherapy including mental illness will become an important research topic. It is very effective forpatients with special mental diseases, such as mental illness, to reduce their mental reaction byexposure therapy; the system uses the virtual reality system of medical images processed by learningalgorithm to reproduce the effect of virtual reality exposure method of the high scene of transparent ladder. Compared with the old invasive exposure scene, the results show that theimprovement of both conditions has obvious effect, and the effect of human treatment underthe two conditions is not good. There are obvious differences, which show that virtual reality model will gradually replace the on-the-spot feeling. Finally, with more and more researchers have put forward a variety of other virtual reality image processing models, the research of image processing has gradually become more and more interested.

In tangible augmented reality (AR) environments for virtual prototyping, the user interacts with virtual products by manipulating tangible objects with his or her hands, but the user often encounter awkward situations in which his or her hands are occluded by augmented virtual objects, which reduces both immersion and ease of interaction. In this paper, we present how to resolve such hand region occlusion in order to enhance natural interaction and immersive visualization. In the AR environment considered, we use two types (product-type and pointer-type) of tangible objects for tangible user interaction with a virtual product of interest. Holding the tangible objects with his or her hands, the user can create input events by touching specified regions of the product-type tangible object with the pointer-type tangible object. We developed a method for resolving hand region occlusion frequently arising during such user interaction, It first detect hand region in a real image and refines the rendered image of the virtual object by subtracting the hand region from the rendered image, Then, it superimposes the refined image onto the real image to obtain an image in which the occlusion is resolved. Incorporated into tangible AR interaction for virtual prototyping of handheld products such as cellular phones and MP3 players, the method has been found by a preliminary user study that it is not only useful to improve natural interaction and immersive visualization of virtual products, but also helpful for making the users experience the products' shapes and functions better.

Vehicle driving simulators can provide engineers with benefits on the development and modification of vehicle models. One of the most important factors to realistic simulations is the fidelity given by a motion system and a real-time visual image generation system. Virtual reality technology has been widely used to achieve high fidelity. In this paper the virtual environment including a visual system like a head-mounted display is developed for a vehicle driving simulator system by employing the virtual reality technique. virtual vehicle and environment models are constructed using the object-oriented analysis and design approach. Accordint to the object model a three dimensional graphic model is developed with CAD tools such as Rhino and Pro/E. For the real-time image generation the optimized IRIS Performer 3D graphics library is embedded with the multi-thread methodology. Compared with the single loop apprach the proposed methodology yields an acceptable image generation speed 20 frames/sec for the simulator.

The advancement of virtual reality technology offers various locomotion options that support users' navigation behaviors in a virtual reality environment. This study was aimed at examining the effects of two navigation methods-joystick-controlling and walking-around-on users' perceived usability, behavioral engagement, and virtual presence. Fifty South Korean college students were recruited in the study, and they were assigned randomly to one of the two navigation conditions. Participants from each group were asked to observe a 3D object and complete the surveys. They were then asked to repeat the procedure with a 2D image. Using repeated-measures ANOVAs and MANOVA, we found that users using joystick-controlling reported higher usability and showed superior performance to the walking-around group on two tasks. Participants reported a higher behavioral engagement when observing the 2D image. Besides, they perceived a significantly higher virtual presence when observing the 2D image. Finally, we discussed the implications of the findings for the navigation method design.

The augmented reality is the environment which consists of real-world view and information drawn by computer. Since the image which user can see through augmented reality device is a synthetic image composed by real-view and virtual image, it is important to make the virtual image generated by computer well harmonized with real-view image. In this paper, we present reviews of several works about computer vision and graphics methods which give user realistic augmented reality experience. To generate visually harmonized synthetic image which consists of a real and a virtual image, 3D geometry and environmental information such as lighting or material surface reflectivity should be known by the computer. There are lots of computer vision methods which aim to estimate those. We introduce some of the approaches related to acquiring geometric information, lighting environment and material surface properties using monocular or multi-view images. We expect that this paper gives reader's intuition of the computer vision methods for providing a realistic augmented reality experience.
