This research presents a method for Augmented Reality (AR) object superimposition leveraging reinforcement learning techniques to significantly reduce manual input during the exploration of digital information on construction sites. A distinctive feature of this approach is the application of a reinforcement learning neural network, trained with pairs of real and virtual view images, for AR superimposition. This approach enables the precise adjustment of the virtual camera's position and orientation within a virtual scene, aiming to seamlessly integrate AR objects into real-world views. This research initially focuses on simpler scenarios involving 2 and 3 degrees of freedom for orientation and position adjustments. The purpose is to explore the feasibility of the application through those experiments, with the expectation that the results would be interpreted positively. These initial findings highlight the promise of the suggested method in improving AR applications, especially within the construction sector, by enabling more natural and precise merging of virtual and physical objects, without requiring user intervention.

The augmented reality (AR) has recently became an attractive technology in construction industry, which can play a critical role in realizing smart construction concepts. The AR has a great potential to help construction workers access digitalized information about design and construction more flexibly and efficiently. Though several AR applications have been introduced for on-site made to enhance on-site and off-site tasks, few are utilized in actual construction fields. This paper proposes a new AR framework that provides on-site managers with an opportunity to easily access the information about construction resources such as workers and equipment. The framework records videos with the camera installed on a wearable AR device and streams the video in a server equipped with high-performance processors, which runs an object detection algorithm on the streamed video in real time. The detection results are sent back to the AR device so that menu buttons are visualized on the detected objects in the user's view. A user is allowed to access the information about a worker or equipment appeared in one's view, by touching the menu button visualized on the resource. This paper details implementing parts of the framework, which requires the data transmission between the AR device and the server. It also discusses thoroughly about accompanied issues and the feasibility of the proposed framework.

Purpose: This study aims to comprehensively assess the characteristics and effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) in nursing education among nursing students and nurses. Methods: A thorough search was conducted in seven databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, RISS, KMbase, and KoreaMed) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English or Korean before February 20, 2024. The quality of the included RCTs was assessed using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool for randomized trials. A random-effects model was applied for the meta-analysis using Review Manager 5.4. Results: Out of the 15,840 studies extracted, ten were selected. Of those ten, the majority (six, 60%) were conducted on education dealing with specific nursing situations. In addition to the use of immersive VR or AR during nursing education, lectures, debriefing, and discussion processes were applied together, and device usage orientation was also provided. The meta-analyses showed that immersive VR or AR in nursing education significantly improved knowledge (standardized mean difference, SMD=2.64; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI=1.10~4.17) and skills (SMD=0.58, 95% CI=0.02~1.15). Conclusion: Immersive VR or AR in nursing education can effectively enhance knowledge and skills. However, for their development and implementation, various factors should be considered, and these findings are expected to provide valuable evidence regarding that concern.

A hologram projects a 3 dimensional video as same as a real subject and it is made by principles of holography. Many researches about holographic technology have been developed. Studies for visualization of 3D videos, holographic storages, and optical media have proceeded mostly in engineering. It is hard to find any researches about the convergent system from the viewpoint of interactive elements and motion graphic design such as this paper's concept. Most studies of augmented reality have been developed in the domain of technology and education but the field of content production. AR has been convergent with various fields and media, so it is time to make an active progress in the study of convergent content development. The goal of this study is to develop cultural contents and create new values through the convergence of holography and AR. The purpose of this paper is to propose the way of developing the convergent type of cultural contents and construct the production system by the new approach to users using the convergence technology of holography and augmented reality.

Coding education and algorithm education are essential in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Text-oriented algorithm textbooks are perceived as difficult by students who are new to coding and algorithms. There is a need to develop educational content so that students can easily understand the principles of complex algorithms. This paper has implemented basic sorting algorithms as augmented reality contents for students who are new to algorithm education. To make it easier to understand the concept and principles of sorting algorithms, sorting data was expressed as a 3D box and the comparison of values according to the algorithms and the movement of values were produced as augmented reality contents in the form of 3D animations. In order to help with the understanding of sorting algorithms in C language, the change of variable values and the exchange of data were shown as animations according to the execution order of the code and the flow of the loop. Students can conveniently use contents through a smart phone without special equipment by being produced in a marker-based manner. Interest and immersion, as well as understanding of classes of sorting algorithms can be increased through educational augmented reality-based educational contents.

Digilog book using augmented reality is a form that augmented reality is implemented by illuminating the camera embedded in the mobile image on the page registered as an image marker after downloading the application, which shows a fragmentary limitation in the content implementation method. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a pop-up multi-tracking method that enables two-way interaction in a digit log book using augmented reality technology. Through this, we commissioned an authorized agency to test the technical differentiation of augmented reality content for two prototypes of existing book-type Digilog Book and Pop-up-type Digilog Book. A test report was issued. The pop-up type digit log book suggested in this study enables the user to implement the interactive contents according to the user's action (movement). This can induce the interaction between the virtual image and the printed picture book and give the learner an interest and immersion, so that it is possible to express the interaction of the digital log book.

This study identified the impact of augmented reality advertising on attitude toward advertising and memory according to the type of presence and flow level. The presence (cognitive, emotional, media) and flow level (high vs. low) of the augmented reality(AR) advertising were set as independent variables and analyzed by Two-Way MANOVA. As a result of the research, first, the augmented reality advertising attitude was positive when the emotional presence and flow level were high. Second, when the flow level is high, the ARM such as product attribute information increases, but when the flow level is low, the evaluation-oriented GRM increases. Third, emotional presence increases GRM when the flow level is high, but ARM increases when the flow level is low. Fourth, the memory effect was low regardless of the flow level. In the future research, it would be desirable to produce augmented reality advertisements through virtual brands in the generalization of research.
