Metaverse refers to a digitally expanded world by combining real and virtual spaces. As reality expands into the digital world, various things that were not possible before are possible with the aid of the system, and its usefulness is spreading metaverse rapidly regardless of industry. In particular, it is relatively easier to display information from the virtual world over the real world than to bring information from the real world into the virtual world, which is why most industries are pursuing a metaverse using AR(Augmented Reality). The construction industry also tried to introduce the AR metaverse except in certain fields such as education, but it is being used only limitedly due to the limitations of AR devices. The disadvantages of AR devices, which are sensitive to afterimage effects, narrow viewing angles, and environmental influences, are the main reasons that make AR challenging to use in actual workplaces, not only in the construction industry but also in other industries. So as the technological maturity of VR(Virtual Reality) devices increases, VR will gradually replace AR. Therefore, in response to future changes, the construction industry should plan metaverse technology development using VR devices.

With the recent emergence of VR contents, a lot of attention has been drawn on actual image based VR 360° video production using photography system. It was very complicated and difficult to make conventional VR contents. Therefore, such making was performed only in a research level. These days, as cameras have been made smaller, VR live-action has become more common in contents makers. In the circumstance, this study tries to compare a variety of contents making equipment based on action-cam that is mainly used for producing VR contents, and suggest their problems. To solve the problems, this study uses a cinema grade camera to do VR filming. As a result, it is revealed that, in order to make VR contents with quality, it is necessary to use a cinema grade camera, rather than an action cam, and to conduct technical research for standard lens based contents.

Recently, as indoor activities increase due to the spread of infectious diseases, the metaverse is attracting attention. Metaverse refers to content in which the virtual world and the real world are closely related, and its representative platform technology is VR(Virtual Reality). However, since VR hardware is difficult to access in terms of cost, the concept of streaming-based cloud VR has emerged. This study proposes a server configuration and deployment method in an edge network when metaverse content involving multiple users operates based on cloud VR. The proposed algorithm deploys the edge server in consideration of the network and computing resources and client location for cloud VR, which requires a high level of computing resources while at the same time is very sensitive to latency. Based on simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the total network traffic load regardless of the number of applications or the number of users through comparison with the existing deployment method.

Purpose : Today's retailers are integrating new VR technology into their new marketing strategies. Thus, this research aims to understand the role of virtual experiences in the circumstance of sales channels. Research design, data and methodology : Our model hypothesizes that five key factors determine the consumer experience of VR in the virtual retailing context: smartness, vividness, interactivity, playfulness, escape. Information access and flow are mediating variables that connect key drivers and VR satisfaction. Information access and flow then give influence to satisfaction towards VR. Satisfaction serves as a mediator that determines changes in consumer's dual intention: intention to revisit VR and intention to visit the real site. Results : According to the test results, every path except the relationship between information access and satisfaction of VR is accepted as expected at the significance level of 0.05. Conclusions : This research emphasizes the potential importance of VR and continue VR marketing research as an advent research area. Through the dual-path model, this study found that the primary function of VR is information access and flow experience. This result shows that most VR users value emotional benefits rather than rational benefits provided by VR. Finally, the satisfaction of VR can stimulate both the intention to use the VR and the intention to visit real mall.

In this paper, we present a VR-based interface method which provides users more natural, realistic, and interactive communication and collaboration tool. Since most services in the communication systems matches with the services in the real world, the best understanding would be achieved when the communication services are represented in accordance with the services in the real world. However, conventional text-based interface and 2D GUI cannot provide such reality to the users. In this paper, we discuss VR-based interface to overcome such difficulty and introduce one instance of communication system using the VR-based realistic, what we call Virtual Village, which we are currently developing. This application might be applied to education in virtual space, desktop conferencing system, and entertainment such as MUD or the games in the distributed environment, etc.

Virtual Reality technology is divided two parts Panorama technology to imbody VR on space and Object technology to embody VR of things. About Object VR technology until present, they provided a cube access way, then observer can see object up, down, left, right side and zoom-in, zoom-out, but there is a fact that up-and-down expression is distorted or shows shortcoming that is not expressed by limited situation of manufacture way in Panorama VR's expression. Therefore, in this research, we examine the shortcoming that do not become top-and-bottom expression through basic concept of Panorama and Panorama VR manufacture process and do to propose cube type of new data format that permit up-and-down expression as a real world and compose Panorama VR space.

Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the core components of the fourth industrial revolution as a technology that makes the virtual world feel as if it is real. VR is being used in various fields such as entertainment, advertisement, education, medical care, training, sports, and tourism, as well as providing contents for such things as games and videos. Libraries are already looking for ways to utilize VR from various angles, such as operating experiential programs. The purpose of this thesis is to develop and propose a VR-based library user education program. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, we analyzed previous studies from a theoretical perspective to find a way to construct a user education program, and also to derive possible implications based on examples of countries such as the United States and Korea that are already introducing and applying VR technology to library services. Therefore, the user education program proposed in this study can be used as a basic building block when many libraries want to develop VR-based programs in the future.

An experience based training system concerning various fire situations which may result many casualties has been required to make rapid decision and improve the responsiveness. Recently, the necessity of virtual reality (VR) based training system which can replace a dangerous full-scale fire training and be easily adopted to the training or evaluation process is increasing. This study constructed tile virtual environment according to pre-defined scenarios, utilized the FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator), three dimensional computational fire analysis program, to derive numerically simulated data on the propagation of fire. Finally, by visualizing the realistic fire and smoke behavior through virtual reality technique and implementing real-time interaction, we developed a VR-based fire training simulator. Also, in order to ensure the sense for tile real of a virtual world and reaI-time performance at the same time, we proposed appropriate data processing and space search algorithms, demonstrate d the value of proposed method through experiments.
