최근에 우리는 가상현실과 IMAX 극장의 장점을 결합하기 위한 시도로 경주에 가상현실(Virtual Reality) 극장을 구축하였다. 이 가상현실 극장은 1명 내지 소규모 사용자를 대상으로 하는 가상현실 시스템과는 다르게 수백 명의 관객을 대상으로 가상환경을 구축해주는 시스템이다. 이 가상현실 극장은 하나의 커다란 공용 스크린과 관객 각각으로부터 입력을 받을 수 있는 여러개의 입력장치를 가지고 있다. 이러한 경우에 Multi-user 인터랙션(Interaction)은 지금까지 널리 연구되어왔던 networked VR 시스템에서의 인터랙션과는 다르게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이렇게 다수의 사용자가 들어가는 가상현실 극장에서 사용자 인터랙션을 관객 인터랙션(Audience Interaction)이라 정의하고, 이를 구현할 때 고려해야할 문제에 대해서 논한다. 또한, 경주 가상현실 극장의 구현 사례를 제시한다.

This paper presents a prototype visualization system of mixed reality for a VR flight simulator. The chroma key technique is used to build the mixed reality model for a VR flight simulator. The Daedeok science town can be visualized in real time according to the rider control. He can also see his own hand/foot operating the control stick/rudder as well as virtual environment projected to the blue-screen using a video-see-through HMD.

In the era of noble technology, virtual reality (VR) has been adopted in various fields, with the advantages of VR in education being confirmed through numerous studies. In skill development training education, humans or equipment that interact with the trainee are crucial and currently VR is more preferred. In this study, six projects were selected and reviewed in-depth visualizing the use of VR in training and its potential. Comparison between the learning actions of training in the virtual and real environments were conducted. Training through VR is location-dependent, time-dependent, safe, and reversible. VR application is also determined by the preps and feedback-providing functionality which must be emphasized. All the advantages of VR in skill development training make it an opportunity provider. This article can be used by those developing VR projects for skill development training.

In these days, a vehicle simulator has been developed with a VR(Virtual Reality) system. A VR system must provide a vehicle simulator with natural interaction, sufficient immersion and realistic images. In addition, a VR system must present a driver with the realistic driving situation. To achieve these, it is important to obtain a fast and uniform rendering performance regardless of the complexity of virtual worlds. In this paper, the factors to improve the reality for the VR based vehicle simulator have been investigated. For the purpose, the modeling and the rendering methods which offer an improved performance for complex VR applications as the 3D road model have been implemented and verified. Then, we experiment on the influence of graphic and sound factors to the driver, and analyze each result for improving the reality such as the driver's viewport, the form of texture, the lateral distance of the side object, and the sound effect. These factors are evaluated on the driving system which is constructed for qualitative analysis. The research results could be used for improving the reality of the VR based vehicle simulator.

본 연구에서는 초등학교 교과 단원 '우리 몸의 소화와 순환'을 주제로 한 가상현실 기반 수업 프로그램의 개발과 적용을 통해 학생들의 인지적·정의적 측면의 향상 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이 연구를 위해 서울 소재 초등학교 6학년 105명의 학생을 대상으로 3차시에 걸쳐 가상현실 프로그램을 투입하고 사전 사후 모형 수행 수준 평가지를 수집하였으며, 21명의 학생들의 인터뷰 자료를 통해서 인지적·정의적 효과에 대한 학생들의 인식을 알아보았다. 이에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가상현실의 특성을 반영한 VR 프로그램을 개발함으로써 VR 콘텐츠의 학교 수업 적용 가능성을 보였다. 투입된 가상현실 프로그램 자료는 선행연구에 기반을 둔 가상현실 특성인 '조작', '감각화', '상호작용'을 반영하여 개발되었으며, 수업 시간에 프로그램의 이러한 특성들을 반영한 수업 활동을 하였다. 둘째, 가상현실 기반 생물 수업이 학생들의 '공간적 사고', '추상적 사고', 반영적 사고'와 같은 인지적 측면에 효과가 있음을 검증하였다. 인지적인 측면의 효과를 측정하기 위한 분석틀로 '구조', '기능', '시스템 표상화', '시각화', '표지' 요인으로 구성된 과학적 모형 수행 수준 분석틀을 사용하였으며, 모형 수행 수준의 변화를 비교한 결과 모든 영역에서 실험집단과 통제집단의 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 또한 학생들의 인터뷰를 통해서 어떤 가상현실의 특성이 반영되어 인지적 효과에 영향을 주었는지에 대한 학생들의 인식을 알아보았다. 셋째, 가상현실 기반 생물 수업이 '행위유발성', '현존감', '몰입감'을 높임으로써 정의적 측면에 효과가 있음을 인터뷰 자료를 통해서 확인하였다. 본 연구는 향후 가상현실 기반 생물 수업이 교실에 효과적으로 적용될 방향을 제시하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This is an integrative review paper of Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) simulation programs in the mental health area including the analysis of the general characteristics, contents, and the impact of the interventions studies. The keywords used to search the studies were "AR/VR" and "medical/nursing students". The author and a postdoctoral research fellow searched four electronic databases: Web of Science, PubMed, EmBase, and CINHA, and as a result nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Among the selected studies AR/VR simulation programs in the mental health area for healthcare professionals were found to be effective in clinical skills as well as for the interpersonal relationship and the stigma of mentally ill patients. Providing an opportunity to experience a safe and effective tool is important when educating health professionals and AR/VR simulation programs are safe and effective. Thus, standardized AR/VR simulation programs are needed to be developed for health professionals.

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.

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.

We examined the psychophysiological effects of navigation in a virtual reality (VR). Subjects were exposed to the VR, and required to detect specific objects. Ten electrophysiological signals were recorded before, during, and after navigation in the VR. Six questionnaires on the VR experience were acquired from 45 healthy subjects. There were significant changes between the VR period and the pre-VR control period in several psychophysiological measurements. During the VR period, eye blink, skin conductance level, and alpha frequency of EEG were decreased but gamma wave were increased. Physiological changes associated with cybersickness included increased heart rate, eye blink, skin conductance response, and gamma wave and decreased photoplethysmogram and skin temperature. These results suggest an attentional change during VR navigation and activation of the autonomic nervous system for cybersickness. These findings would enhance our understanding for the psychophysiological changes during VR navigation and cybersickness.
