Abstract

Augmented reality systems are widely used in the fields of entertainment, shopping, education, and training, and the augmented reality technology is gradually increasing in importance. When augmented reality technology is used for education or training, it must be possible to represent different virtual objects depending on the work stage even for the same marker. Also, since the training content varies depending on the situation, it is necessary to describe it using a training scenario. In order to solve this problem, we propose a scenario markup language for an augmented reality system that can create training content based on a scenario and connect it with an augmented reality system. The scenario markup language for augmented reality provides functions such as a method for connecting a scene, a marker and a virtual object, a method for grasping the state of equipment or sensor value, and a method for moving a scene according to conditions. The augmented reality scenario markup language can flexibly increase the usefulness and expandability of the augmented reality system usage method and content usage.

증강현실 시스템이 엔터테인먼트, 쇼핑, 교육 및 훈련 등의 영역에서 널리 사용되고 있으며, 증강현실 기술의 점차 중요성이 커지고 있다. 증강현실 기술을 교육이나 훈련에 사용할 때 동일한 마커에 대해서도 작업 단계에 따라 다른 가상 객체를 표현할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 훈련 내용은 상황에 따라 달라지기 때문에 훈련 시나리오를 이용해서 기술할 필요가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 훈련 내용을 시나리오를 기반으로 작성할 수 있으며, 이를 증강현실 시스템과 연계할 수 있는 증강현실 시스템을 위한 시나리오 마크업 언어를 제안한다. 증강현실을 위한 시나리오 마크업 언어는 장면, 마커와 가상 객체를 연결하는 방법, 장비의 상태 혹은 센서 값을 파악하기 위한 방법, 조건에 따른 장면 이동 방법 등의 기능을 제공한다. 증강현실 시나리오 마크업 언어는 유연하게 증강현실 시스템의 사용 방법과 콘텐츠 사용의 유용성과 확장성을 높일 수 있다.
