Immersive media, also known as spatial media, has become essential with the decrease in face-to-face activities in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Teleconference, metaverse, and digital twin have been developed with high expectations as immersive media services, and the demand for hyper-realistic media is increasing. Under these circumstances, MPEG-I Immersive Media is being standardized as a technologies of navigable virtual reality, which is expected to be launched in the first half of 2024, and the Audio Group is working to standardize the immersive audio technology. Following this trend, this article introduces the trend in MPEG-I immersive audio standardization. Further, it describes the features of the immersive audio rendering technology, focusing on the structure and function of the RM0 base technology, which was chosen after evaluating all the technologies proposed in the January 2022 "MPEG Audio Meeting."

The Republic of Korea (ROK) Army is developing the Army Synthetic Battlefield Training System and plans divisional-level Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) integrated training. This study proposes a plan to apply VR/AR/MR (Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality) technology to LVC integrated training systems to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of future LVC integrated training. The study investigated immersive military training systems in the ROK and advanced countries. As a result, we confirm that immersive technology can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of military training. Accordingly, we review the key technologies required for building a defense training system with immersive features and propose training subjects that can be enhanced in effectiveness and efficiency when built with an immersive approach. We also propose a plan to apply immersive technology to the Live, Virtual, and Constructive systems for the development of future LVC integrated training system.

The aim of this study was to examine the trends (e.g., the distribution of the studies by year, country, research methods, and participants' education level) and fundamental findings [e.g., interaction in Virtual Reality (VR) environments, educational content through VR and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, learning environment in AR, etc.] regarding immersive learning technologies such as VR and AR in English Language Teaching (ELT) between 2010 and 2019. Employing a systematic review research methodology, data was gathered from 59 academic articles published in the following databases: EBSCOhost, ERIC, Web of Science, and Taylor & Francis. The studies were analyzed using a content analysis approach, and findings demonstrated that immersive learning technologies in ELT came to prominence in 2017. Mixed methods research was the most widely employed research method. The most studied language skill was vocabulary for AR and speaking for VR. The results also revealed advantages and challenges with regards to the use of immersive learning technologies in ELT. Further analysis illustrated the findings related to characteristics of immersive learning technologies in ELT. Based on this review, research and design implications for researchers and practitioners are presented.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of immersive environments in the design domain by analyzing students' design process in immersive environments from cognitive and experiential aspects. To do this, we reviewed major concepts and theories such as users' immersion, participation, presence, and awareness and developed a comprehensive conceptual framework of immersive shared environments. In three different visualization systems of HIVE, teams consisting two students were assigned to design tasks and the design process was analyzed by a customized framework. The characteristics of the immersive environment related to the performance of the design task were different from those of the previous studies. The perception of the relationship between the spaces is very important, and the perception of the surrounding objects is interested in the shape or the material such as whether the object is flat or inclined. Also, it is found that the multi-technology of immersive environments is very useful for creative collaboration. In the future, a more comprehensive analysis of the effects on design decisions in a more diverse visual interface condition and the effects on more diverse design areas should be added.

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.

4차 산업의 주요 기술로 주목받고 있는 실감형 360 동영상 콘텐츠의 시장 규모는 매년 증가하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 영상이 DRM 해제 후 토렌트 등의 불법 유통망을 통해 유통되고 있어 불법복제로 인한 피해 또한 증가하고 있다. 이러한 이슈에 대응하는 기술로 필터링 기술을 사용하고 있으나 대부분의 불법 저작물 필터링 기술은 2D 영상의 불법 복제 여부를 판단하는 기술에 국한되고 있으며, 이를 실감형 360 동영상에 적용하기 위해서는 4K UHD 이상의 초고화질에 따른 특징 데이터량 증가와 이에 따른 처리 속도 문제와 같은 기술적 한계를 극복해야 하는 과제가 남는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 딥 러닝 기술을 이용한 실감형 360도 동영상 내 특징 데이터 인식률 개선 방법을 제안한다.

Although virtual reality technology may not be deemed as having a satisfactory quality for all users, it tends to incite interest because of the expectation that the technology can allow one to experience something that they may never experience in real life. The most important aspect of this indirect experience is the provision of immersive 3D audio and video, which interacts naturally with every action of the user. The immersive audio faithfully reproduces an acoustic scene in a space corresponding to the position and movement of the listener, and this technology is also called spatial audio. In this paper, we briefly introduce the trend of spatial audio technology in view of acquisition, analysis, reproduction, and the concept of MPEG-I audio standard technology, which is being promoted for spatial audio services.
