가상 혼합현실은 현재 가장 큰 관심을 받고 있는 연구 분야 중 하나이다. 하지만 아직 가상 혼합현실에 대한 정형화된 표준이 없는 상태에서 여러 가지 가상 혼합현실 기기들이 나오고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이미 상용화되었거나 곧 상용화 될 기기들에 대한 비교 분석을 수행한다. 그리고 정리한 내용을 토대로 가상 혼합현실 기기들의 동향 및 발전 전망을 살펴본다.

As the demand for high-quality rendering for mixed reality, videogame, and simulation has increased, global illumination has been actively researched. Monte Carlo path tracing can realize global illumination and produce photorealistic scenes that include critical effects such as color bleeding, caustics, multiple light, and shadows. If the sampling rate is insufficient, however, the rendered results have a large amount of noise. The most successful approach to eliminating or reducing Monte Carlo noise uses a feature-based filter. It exploits the scene characteristics such as a position within a world coordinate and a shading normal. In general, the techniques are based on the denoised pixel or sample and are computationally expensive. However, the main challenge for all of them is to find the appropriate weights for every feature while preserving the details of the scene. In this paper, we compare the recent algorithms for removing Monte Carlo noise in terms of their performance and quality. We also describe their advantages and disadvantages. As far as we know, this study is the first in the world to compare the artificial intelligence-based denoising methods for Monte Carlo rendering.

실제공간체감을 극대화하기 위해 실제 물리적인 공간과 가상현실 공간을 융합하는 인터랙티브 아키텍쳐 기반 적응형 혼합현실 기술이 최근 연구되고 있다. 이러한 혼합현실 공간에서 동적인 사용자 위치에 따라 물리공간적 몰입감 증대를 위한 오디오 Sweet Spot 최적화 기술을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 주파수 대역 별 소리의 물리적 감쇠현상을 활용하여 주파수 별 오디오 신호 보상 전처리를 통해 동적인 사용자 위치에 원음과 동일한 음색의 오디오 Sweet Spot이 형성이 가능한지 실험한 결과 주파수 별 감쇠의 차이를 보정함으로써 원음 그대로의 음색이 재현될 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 혼합현실 기반의 다양한 콘텐츠의 생산이 활성화 되고 있다. 이러한 콘텐츠는 실세계의 촬영 영상과 가상의 영상을 합성하는 기법으로 이를 위해서는 실세계의 촬영 영상과 마커 또는 생체 정보등의 객체를 이용하여 영상 합성을 통하여 구현되는 것이 일반적이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 혼합영상에서의 가상영상 합성을 위해 스테레오 카메라를 이용, 영상의 객체 깊이를 측정하는 시스템을 구현한다.

Recently, immersive VR/AR contents have actively increased, and various services related to VR/AR allow users to experience remote places. For example, if failure situations occur frequently in factory of the remote site, mixed reality (MR) with a synthetic virtual human expert in reconstructed remote location can help immediate maintenance task with interaction between the operator and the virtual expert. In this paper, we present a technique for synthesizing the virtual human after capturing a 360-degree panorama of a remote environment, and analyze the effects to apply a method of guiding virtual human by interaction types. According to this paper, it was shown that co-presence level significantly increased when verbal, facial expression, and non-verbal animation of the virtual human was all expressed.

This paper explored the effect of using eye gaze pointer in addition to the hand gesture visual communication cue in remote collaboration. We recruited 24 participants and conducted a user study comparing two conditions: (1) only hand gesture visual communication cue, and (2) eye gaze pointer with hand gesture visual cue. The results showed that the added eye gaze pointer cue reduced the workload and increased the co-presence when using it together with hand gesture cue.

The use of holographic standardized patient (HSP) with mixed reality can provide students with the opportunity to enhance clinical reasoning skills. This is still relatively new, so there is a lack of guidelines for educators. Thus, we aimed to develop the instructional model of HSP-based education, for enhancing clinical reasoning skills in undergraduate healthcare education, which could systematically guide educators in designing and implementing HSP-based teaching and learning activities appropriately. Using a design and development research, a theoretically constructed initial mode in this study was iteratively improved and underwent validation through expert review and model usability test. Features of the model were discussed, along with theoretical and practical implications and suggestions for further research.

A good story persuades people to act. The mobilizing power of a story, however, does not necessarily rely on informational fidelity. During political unrests, word-of-mouth can intermix facts with unverified claims and emotional outrage, often transforming reality into convincing rumor stories. This rapid communication article discusses how rumor publics (dis)approve and participate in 2019 Hong Kong Protests. This survey study finds that police injustice and brutality were the predominant themes of the collected rumor stories, although some stories contained mixed views or anti-protest claims. Rumors of police injustice and brutality were associated with less negative attitudes toward the protests, especially when respondents believed the story. The relationship between rumor stories and protest participation was less obvious, except for rumors about an individual protester's whereabout. This study discusses the ways in which rumor is embedded in contentious political processes.

TOLED(Transparent, Organic Light Emitting Diodes) based edutainment system has been studied to solve the actual feeling training and educational experience problem of e-learning. However, edutainment system using TOLED has a problem for the non-detection of multi marker array and rotate marker array, and it has problem for the dissonance phenomena caused by Illumination Environment between real world and virtual object. It also has a do not provide services through a variety of devices problem. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a system that provides a realistic actual feeling edutainment contents by recognizes the marker array rotation and a plurality of marker arrangement via an improved marker detection technique. And to unify the real space and virtual space of the lighting environment through a nested block layer.
