Virtual reality technology is recognized as a next-generation technology and can create realistic environments like the real world and reproduce sensory experiences. And it is a cutting-edge technology that allows humans to experience the same real-world experience in a virtual world by computing the five senses with computers. Also Virtual reality is a technology that has the advantage of experiencing reality in cyberspace and is applied to content such as movies and games. However, many users who use virtual reality can feel cybersickness. And it especially in virtual reality games. This is an important issue for the virtual reality game industry to be resolved. Main symptoms of cyberscickness include dizziness, headache, and vomiting. Existing motion sickness and symptoms are similar, but the cause of cybersickness is different from traditional sickness. Therefore, this study uses virtual reality games and data from various organizations to determine the causes of cybersickness. Also, it intends to contribute to the development of the virtual reality game industry by presenting methods to supplement these problems.

The virtual reality(VR) technology can provide various stimuli, including, visual and auditory stimuli, simultaneously in the virtual environment and encourage the user to interact. Virtual reality is a set of computer technologies, which when combined, provide an interactive interface to a computer generated world. In this world the subject can see, hear and navigate in a dynamically changing environment in which he participates as an active player, by modifying the environment according to his will. Moreover, the subject can get a feeling for the virtual environment in much the same way as one feels real life situations. In the real world, a plethora of information from various modalities may be in conflict, and modulate each other to form an illusion. In this study we investigated whether a tactile illusion on a real hand could be evoked by a virtual stimulus, the time required to generate this illusion and its duration. This study shows that the illusion occurred, and that was correlated with presence score in the virtual environment.

In this paper, we design and implement a virtual environment which forms the basis of constructing a virtual world in a systematic fashion. Though virtual environments have been developed in several systems using the virtual reality, they are designed without a systematic method of constructing. In our framework, a virtual environment is structured in six layers according to their functions and ranges based on a classification of environmental factors of which the real world is composed. These layers compose a universal environment in our virtual world by operating independently and exchanging information with one another periodically. The designed environment shows that it Can provide diverse real life situations and is easily extensible to enhance its functionalities. We present effective design schemes for several important environmental factors. We demonstrate viability of our framework through implementing a plausible virtual world based on the proposed schemes.

Metaverse is a three-dimensional virtual space where virtual and reality interact and co-evolutionize, and social, cultural, and economic activities are carried out in it to create value. Among the types of metaverse, the virtual world metaverse is expected to bring innovation beyond time and space in all areas of industry and society following the Internet. This study empirically analyzed factors affecting consumer's intention to use the virtual world metaverse by an innovation diffusion perspective. It was analyzed as an expanded technology acceptance model by setting relative advantages, ease of use, and visibility among the attributes of the innovation diffusion, and social presence, telepresence, and interactivity among the characteristics of the virtual worlds as factors. The proposed research model and hypothesis were verified through a PLS structural equation analysis based on a survey of 216 people. Studies have shown that relative advantage, telepresence, and interactivity have a significant effect on perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment, but visibility does not have a significant effect on perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment. It was found that ease of use had a positive effect on perceived enjoyment, social presence had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, and perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment had a positive effect on the intention to use, respectively. This study is meaningful in that it empirically analyzed the factors affecting the intention to use the virtual world metaverse by dividing the psychological characteristics that induce consumer behavior into perceived usefulness which is an extrinsic motivation and perceived enjoyment which is an intrinsic motivation.

Mixed and augmented reality technique deals with mixing content between real world and virtual world containing augmented reality and augmented virtuality excluding of pure real and pure virtual world. In mixed and augmented reality, if a live actor and entity moving in real world can be embedded more naturally in 3D virtual world, various advanced applications such 3D tele-presence, 3D virtual experience education and etc can be serviced. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a standard model which is supporting to embed the live actor and entity into 3D virtual space, and to interact with each other. And also the natural embedding and interaction of live actor and entity can be performed based on the proposed model.

As changes in social and economic paradigms are accelerating, and non-contact has become the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic, metaverse services that build societies in online activities and virtual reality are spreading rapidly. This study analyzes the perception and trend of metaverse fashion using big data. TEXTOM was used to extract metaverse and fashion-related words from Naver and Google and analyze their frequency and importance. Additionally, structural equivalence analysis based on the derived main words was conducted to identify the perception and trend of metaverse fashion. The following results were obtained: First, term frequency(TF) analysis revealed the most frequently appearing words were "metaverse," "fashion," "virtual," "brand," "platform," "digital," "world," "Zepeto," "company," and "game." After analyzing TF-inverse document frequency(TF-IDF), "virtual" was the most important, followed by "brand," "platform," "Zepeto," "digital," "world," "industry," "game," "fashion show," and "industry." "Metaverse" and "fashion" were found to have a high TF but low TF-IDF. Further, words such as "virtual," "brand," "platform," "Zepeto," and "digital" had a higher TF-IDF ranking than TF, indicating that they had high importance in the text. Second, convergence of iterated correlations analysis using UNICET revealed four clusters, classified as "virtual world," "metaverse distribution platform," "fashion contents technology investment," and "metaverse fashion week." Fashion brands are hosting virtual fashion shows and stores on metaverse platforms where the virtual and real worlds coexist, and investment in developing metaverse-related technologies is under way.

Most of virtual reality systems ask users to control 3D objects or to navigate 3D world using 3D controllers. To maximize the human performance in the control, the design of virtual reality system and its input and output devices should be optimized. In this study, an experiment was designed to investigate the effects of three resolution factors of a virtual reality system on the human performance. Six subjects conducted the experiment for the factors; two frame rates, three spatial resolutions, and three pictorial contents. The result showed that the greater the spatial resolution was, the higher the human performance was. For the temporal resolution, fixed frame rate at 18 Hz was better than the varied maximized frame rate. For the pictorial contents, the virtual space with orientation cues marked the greatest performance than the other two conditions; the virtual space without any orientation cue and the virtual space like real world. These results could be applied for the design of virtual reality systems.

Virtual Reality is a set of computer technologies which, when combined, provide an interface to a computer-generated world, and in particular, provide such a convincing interface that the user believes he is actually in a three dimensional computer-generated world. This computer generated world may be a model of a real-world object, such as a house; it might be an world that does not exist in a real sense but is understood by humans, such as a chemical molecule or a representation of a set of data; or it might be in a completely imaginary science fiction world. this paper describes the application of boiler digital control system MMI for power plant using virtual reality
