Abstract

With the spread of various digital devices, devices have become commonplace in modern society. Moreover, due to the increase in device usage and online learning while staying indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic, symptoms such as an increase in myopia in children due to eye fatigue, an increase in young presbyopia, and dry eye syndrome are increasing, and now people are paying attention to eye health. This is different from before. There are various prescriptions for eye health, but in this paper, we would like to propose a training method for enhancing visual function using VR contents. The analog methods of the existing teaching aids for visual function reinforcement training were planned and produced as digital contents, and VR-based training contents were selected from among the various methods carried out with teaching aids at the visual function training center, which can be made into contents. was developed with In the training process for each content, it was proposed to apply eye tracking to the VR device in order to give the user feedback on their participation in the training so that the management and concentration of the training process could be analyzed.

각종 디지털 기기의 보급으로 현대사회는 기기들이 일상화되었다. 더욱이 COVID-19라는 팬데믹 동안 실내에 머무르면서 기기 사용량의 증가와 온라인 학습의 증가로 눈 피로도에 따른 어린이들의 근시 증가, 젊은 노안 증가, 안구 건조증과 같은 증상이 증가하고 있고, 이제는 눈 건강에 대한 관심이 예전과 다르다. 눈 건강에 대한 처방은 여러 가지가 있지만 본 논문에서는 VR 콘텐츠를 활용한 시기능 강화 훈련 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 시기능 강화 훈련에 관한 기존의 교구에 의한 아날로그 방법들을 디지털 콘텐츠로 기획 및 제작하였으며, 일반 시기능 훈련센터에서 교구를 가지고 진행하는 다양한 방법 중 콘텐츠화가 가능한 7가지의 방법을 선택하여 VR 기반의 훈련콘텐츠로 개발하였다. 각 콘텐츠의 훈련 과정에서 사용자에게 훈련의 참여에 대한 피드백을 주기 위해 VR 기기에 아이트래킹을 적용하여 훈련 과정에 대한 관리와 집중도를 분석할 수 있도록 제안하였다.
