Abstract

As the 4th industrial revolution emerged, the latest technologies such as IoT, AI, Big data, AR/VR/XR are emerging. However, in the field of virtual reality (VR) technology platform services, there is no standardization and systematic support. In addition, various platform technologies related to virtual reality have been presented, making it difficult to select an API that should be selected for development. In this study, we analyzed the method for virtual reality development and the virtual reality (VR) technology that is being serviced by users. In addition, by presenting the advantages and disadvantages of each development platform, we intend to present a reference point for developers to select an efficient platform. In addition, it will help the developer to select an effective equipment and software platform in comparison with the advantages and disadvantages of various HMD devices used in virtual reality. The virtual reality (VR) development environment test used products from Oculus, and the software development environment was tested with two types: WebBased VR and HMD embedded.

4차 산업혁명이 대두되면서 IoT, AI, Big Data, AR/VR/XR등 최신 기술이 나오고 있다. 하지만, 가상현실(VR) 기술 플랫폼 서비스 분야는 표준화 및 체계적인 지원이 없는 상태이다. 또한, 가상현실 관련 다양한 플랫폼 기술이 제시되어 개발에 선택해야 하는 API 선정에서 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상현실 개발을 위한 방법과 사용자 서비스되고 있는 가상현실(VR) 기술에 대하여 분석했다. 또한, 개발플랫폼별 장점 및 단점을 제시해 개발자가 효율적인 플랫폼을 선정할 수 있도록 기준점을 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 가상현실에 사용되는 각종 HMD 기기에 대한 장점 및 단점을 비교에서 개발자 관점에서 효과적인 장비와 소프트웨어 플랫폼을 선정할 수 있도록 도와줄 것이다. 가상현실(VR) 개발환경시험은 Oculus 사의 제품을 사용했으며, 소프트웨어 개발환경으로 WebBased VR과 HMD 임베디드형의 두 가지 유형으로 시험을 했다.
