The application of Augmented Reality(AR) technology is visible in medical procedures, education, marketing, and journalism. By experimenting, this study examines how the evaluation of the three elements of augmented reality news contents(visual image, storytelling, interactivity) affects immersion and information acquisition. Specifically, a 2 (video technology: AR vs. general) × 2 (news type: disaster vs. sports) between-subject design was examined. Results showed that the evaluation of all three elements was higher when viewing AR news than when viewing general news. The level of immersion was higher when viewing AR news, and the evaluation of storytelling and interactivity had positive effect on the level of immersion regardless of the news types. However, the evaluation of visual images did not affect the level of immersion. Information acquisition was higher after viewing AR news, yet the effect of the evaluation of the three elements on information acquisition had not been found. Implication and discussion of the study were added in the end.

The $360^{\circ}$ video has a lot of image information and usefulness; however, the position of the audio source judged by hearing is different from the position on the screen. Therefore, human feels tired, the immersion decrease and user cant watch the video for Moreer time. In this paper, the concordance rate of the video and the audio localization is defined. The rate is expressed in a percentage. It means how much the system makes the sound localization real according to the position of the source on the screen. With this rate, the audio localization performance of immersive audio producing and playing system can be evaluated. It will be helpful for developers to make the higher performance system and expected to contribute to make makinguality system with reality.

The MPEG immersive video (MIV) coding standard achieved high compression efficiency by removing inter-view redundancy and merging the residuals of immersive video which consists of multiple texture (color) and geometry (depth) pairs. Grouping of views that represent similar spaces enables quality improvement and implementation of selective streaming, but this has not been actively discussed recently. This paper introduces an implementation of group-based encoding into the recent version of MIV reference software, provides experimental results on optimal views and videos per group, and proposes a decision method for optimal number of videos for global immersive video representation by using portion of residual videos.

A technique is described for producing a virtual object with realistic motion. A 3-D human motion model is obtained by applying a developed motion capturing technique to a real human in motion. Factorization method is a technique for recovering 3-D shape of a rigid object from a single video image stream without using camera parameters. The technique is extended for recovering 3-D human motions. The proposed system is composed of three fixed cameras which take video images of a human motion. Three obtained image sequences are analyzed to yield measurement matrices at individual sampling times, and they are merged into a single measurement matrix to which the factorization is applied and the 3-D human motion is recovered ...

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the planning of adolescents preferred space, and fur the purpose of the study analyzed the spaces made by them in the web site where 3-dimension space manipulating is possible and captured their consciousness of space. The study was to interview 60 adolescents in the web-site by video chatting and observation by video ethnography. The results are as follows. 1) Three-dimension space is where adolescents express their present preference for spaces of residence, leisure and outer activities, and where they reveal their desire to be realized in the future. 2) Adolescents foster friendship in the cyberspace, where they meet friends and enjoy talking and share their desire for space creation which is hardly come true in reality. 3) It is possible to grasp their latent preference of space, and actualization of the cyber preference would give them more satisfaction.

360 도 VR (Virtual Reality) 영상을 기존의 비디오처럼 재생하고 전송하기 위해서는 아직까지도 논의 되어야할 많은 문제들이 존재한다. 특히 보는 장면에 비하여 전방위의 영상을 보내야하는 VR 영상은 매우 큰 용량을 가질 수 밖에 없다. 그럼에도 불구하고 사용자의 불편함을 덜기 위해서는 HMD (Head-Mounted Displays) 의 빠른 반응 속도가 필요하다. 따라서 QER (Quality Emphasized Region)기반의 전송 기법은 영역별로 차별화된 화질의 영상을 전송하여 실감미디어의 몰입감을 유지하고 대역폭의 낭비를 줄이는 뷰포트 적응적 360 도 비디오 스트리밍 시스템 (Viewport-Adaptive 360-Degree Video Streaming System)의 일종으로 제안되었다. 그러나, 사용자의 시점 정보를 계산하기 위해서는 매 프레임마다 차원 변환을 위한 복잡하고 많은 계산이 필요하고, 이러한 중복된 계산은 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 요인이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차원 변환에 따른 자원낭비를 줄이기 위하여 QER 선택을 위한 개선 방법을 제안한다.

최근 360 도 가상현실을 지원하기 위한 비디오 시스템은 다양한 프로젝션에 대한 처리를 필요로 한다. 이를 위해 Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 비디오 표준화 기술은 비디오에 대한 추가적인 정보들로 프로젝션을 처리하는 기술을 표준 채택하였다. 즉, 다양한 프로젝션의 비디오에 대응하는 비디오 메타데이터 처리를 H.265/HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)에서 제안된 Supplemental Enhancement Information(SEI) 메세지를 사용하여 지원한다. 본 논문은 비디오의 인코딩, 디코딩 시에 비디오 프로젝션 타입에 따라 다르게 처리하는 시스템의 구현 기술을 소개한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 SEI 메시지 구문 분석기를 구현 시 HEVC Test Model(HM)을 이용하고, 디코더 구현 시 FFmpeg 라이브러리를 이용한다. 최종적으로 구현된 시스템은, 본 기관의 또 다른 구현 물인 실시간 360 비디오 플레이어에 통합되어 실시간 디코딩 및 다양한 프로젝션의 전/후처리를 문제 없이 지원하였다.

The possibility of interactivity of digital media environment is adopted in human expression system and integrates the dynamic aspect of digital technology with expressive structure, thereby transforming the paradigm of image acceptance as well as image expression range. Virtual reality images have an important meaning in that they are changing the one-way mechanism of production and acceptance of images that lead to producers-video-audiences beyond the problem of verisimilitude such as how vividly they simulate reality. First of all, the virtual reality image is not one-sided but interactive image composed by the user. Viewing a virtual reality image does not just see the camera shine, but it gets the same view as in the real world. Therefore, the image that was controlled through framing changes to be configured positively by the user. This implies a change in the paradigm of image acceptance as well as a change in the existing form of the image itself. In addition, the narrative structure of the image and the subjects that are formed in the process are also required to be discussed. In the virtual reality image, the user 's gaze is a fusion of the gaze inside the image and the gaze outside the image. This is because the position of the user as the subject of the gaze in the virtual reality image is continuously restricted by the device of the discourse such as the editing and the narration of the shot. The significance of the virtual reality image is not aesthetically perfect but it is reconstructed according to the user to reflect the existence of the user positively and engage the user in the image.

This paper describes two user studies in remote collaboration between two users with a video conferencing system where a remote user can draw annotations on the live video of the local user's workspace. In these two studies, the local user had the control of the view when sharing the first-person view, but our interfaces provided instant control of the shared view to the remote users. The first study investigates methods for assisting drawing annotations. The auto-freeze method, a novel solution for drawing annotations, is compared to a prior solution (manual freeze method) and a baseline (non-freeze) condition. Results show that both local and remote users preferred the auto-freeze method, which is easy to use and allows users to quickly draw annotations. The manual-freeze method supported precise drawing, but was less preferred because of the need for manual input. The second study explores visual notification for better local user awareness. We propose two designs: the red-box and both-freeze notifications, and compare these to the baseline, no notification condition. Users preferred the less obtrusive red-box notification that improved awareness of when annotations were made by remote users, and had a significantly lower level of interruption compared to the both-freeze condition.

The moving picture experts group (MPEG) developed the MPEG immersive video (MIV) standard for efficient compression of multiple immersive videos representing natural contents and computer graphics. The MIV compresses multiple immersive videos and generates multiple output videos which are defined as atlases. However, there is a synchronization issue of multiple decoders in a legacy device when decoding multiple encoded atlases. This paper proposes and implements the geometry packing method for adaptive control of decoder instances for low-end and high-end devices. The proposed method on the recent version of the MIV reference software worked correctly.
