This research examined the effects of user experience in driving simulation game between using general monitor and 3D virtual reality device, Oculus Rift DK2. We compared the difference of user experience such as presence, flow and arousal by gaming environment. We also tested the effects of virtual reality on driving attitude, emotional pleasure and satisfaction. 100 beginner drivers with a driver's license participated in the experiment of two modes of gaming environment. As a result, all the three user experiences were proved to be significantly higher in VR game play than general monitor game. Also driving attitude, emotional pleasure and satisfaction showed a significant difference in virtual reality. This study makes a theoretical and practical contribution to the application of the next virtual reality game with a special function.

With recent development of virtual reality technology, coupled with the growth of the marine industry, virtual underwater simulation systems are under development in various studies, for educational purposes and to simulate virtual reality experiences. Current literature indicates many underwater simulation systems to date have focused on the quality of visual stimulus delivered through three-dimensional graphics user interface, limiting the reality of the experience. In order to improve the quality of the reality delivered by such virtual simulations, it is crucial to develop multi-sensory technology rather than focus on the conventional audio-visual interaction, which limits experiencer from the sense of underwater immersion and existence within the simulation. This work proposes the immersive multi-sensory effector system, delivering the users with a more realistic underwater experience. The sense of reality perceived was evaluated, as the main factor of the virtual reality system.

Although a hand haptic interaction which provides direct and natural sensation is the most natural way of interacting with VR environment, the hand haptic interaction has still limitations with respect to the complexity of articulated hand and related hardware capabilities. Particularly, virtual assembly simulation which refers to the verification process of digital mockup in product development lifecycle is one of the most challenging topics in virtual reality applications. However, hand haptic interaction is considered as a big obstacle, because difficulty initial grasping and non-dextrous manipulation remain as unsolved problems. In this paper, we propose that common hand haptic interactions involves two separate stages with different aspects. We present the hand haptic interaction method enables us to stably grasp a virtual object at initial grasping and delicately manipulate an object at task operating by one's intention. Therefore, proposed method provides the robustness using grasping quality and dextrous manipulation using physically simulation. We conducted experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method under different display environments -monoscopic and stereoscopic. From 2-way ANOVA test, we show that the proposed method satisfies two aspects of hand haptic interaction. Finally, we demonstrated an actual application of various assembly simulation for relatively complex models.

가상현실에서 에이전트에게 많은 영향을 주지 않는 객체의 움직임은 일정한 패턴을 가지고 동작하거나 시각적인 것에 중점을 두고 모델링을 한다. 가상현실에서 불을 현실세계와 유사하게 구현하기 위해서는 가상현실 내에 존재하는 환경과 상호작용을 하며 일정한 패턴을 가지지 않는 다양한 이벤트들이 전개되어야 한다. 그러기 위해서 인과관계에 의한 이벤트 전개 방식을 사용한다. 인과관계에 의한 이벤트전개를 위해서 이벤트를 전제조건, 절차, 결과로 나누어 설계하고 이벤트의 결과와 다른 이벤트 사이에 인관관계를 정의한다. 본 논문에서는 가상현실 내에서 burn에 의한 발생하는 이벤트가 현실세계에서 burn과 유사하게 모델링하기 위한 방법을 제시한다.

ICT 기술발전으로 웨어러블 디바이스(wearable device)와 증강현실(augmented reality: AR) 및 가상현실(virtual reality: VR)등은 차세대 게임 산업에 새로운 재미와 가치를 부여할 기술로 주목받고 있다. 특히 가상현실 기술은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 창출된 3차원 가상공간으로 사용자가 현실 세계에서는 직접 경험하지 못하는 상황을 간접 체험할 수 있어 실재감과 몰입감을 경험하게 한다. 게임에서의 몰입과 실재감은 게임이용과 만족도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상현실을 이용하여 유저와 상호작용하고, 사용자에게 현실과 유사한 긴장감을 줄 수 있는 극한 도망 게임을 개발하였다.

타워크레인은 조선, 건설 등 산업 현장에서 중량물 운반 운전을 위한 도구로 사람이 수동 작업으로 대부분 수행된다. 이러한 타워크레인 운전 훈련 과정은 훈련 실습자에게 장시간 교육하기에 비효율적 뿐 아니라 위험한 작업이므로 최근에는 가상 훈련 시뮬레이션을 통해 이루어 지고 있다. 이러한 가상 타워크레인 시뮬레이션을 구현하기 위해서는 기후환경, 중량물, 줄걸이와 같은 외부적 요인도 중요하지만 타워크레인의 운반 중량물과 직접적으로 연결이되는 로프를 정밀하게 표현하는 것이 중요하다. 하지만, 현재 개발된 대다수의 로프는 단면이 원통형을 띄고 있어 물리적인 요인이 작용하였을 때, 회전축이나 물리적인 형태를 가늠하기가 어렵다. 그러므로, 가상의 타워크레인 시뮬레이션 로프를 실제 타워크레인 슬링벨트와 유사한 면의 형태를 가지고 구축하여 실 환경과 유사한 환경에서 숙련된 타워크레인 시뮬레이션을 훈련하기 위한 로프 시뮬레이션이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 로프 시뮬레이션이 실제와 동일한 형태의 슬링벨트를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 로프의 면 형태 구현하고, 물리시뮬레이션을 통해 로프의 사실적인 움직임을 나타낼 수 있는 가상현실(VR) 기반 훈련 로프 시뮬레이션을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a user experience evaluation method for virtual reality living space contents and apply it to prototype simulations to measure user experience. The user evaluation method proposed in this paper is based on the existing user evaluation methodology, but it is established by changing the experience and evaluation factors to match the characteristics of the virtual reality living space. The generated virtual reality living space simulation is configured similar to real space and is placed real objects that the user actually uses in each space, so that users can feel reality. The subjects performed the tasks according to the given scenarios and then evaluated the simulation. As a result of the evaluation, the main goal of the simulation, the items that make the users feel realistic, were lower than our expectations. This means that future simulations need to be modified in a way that adds or expands elements that enhance the realism. In this way, the UX evaluation method proposed in this paper is expected to provide a more objective indicator to the content developer or designer in order to grasp the user's demand in the virtual reality living space.

In this paper, we propose a physics simulation for augmented reality (AR) billiards content. The characteristics of the physics simulation for the proposed AR billiards content are as follows. First, physical equations are derived by calculating the force and moment of inertia applied to the billiards ball to realize the motion of the billiards ball similar to the real one in the AR environment. Then, we determine the velocity and angular velocity of the virtual billiards ball associated with the rotation of the virtual billiards ball with respect to the impact point. Second, using some vectors such as incidnet vector, normal vector, reflection vector, the trajectory of the virtual billiards ball would be implement. these equations are applied to AR environment so that AR billiards content could be implement. This physics simulation allows users to feel like the real world using a virtual pool table and induce them to interact with the real environment. As a result of the experiment, the accuracy range between the path of the real billiards ball and the path of the virtual billiards ball was calculated to be 97.75% to 99.11%. Therefore, it was determined that the performance of the physics simulation for the AR billiards content proposed in this paper performs similarly to the path of the real billiards ball.

As the computer is popularized in individual and society, it is using in a many of area. In particular, there are many materials to learn a science knowledge using multimedia through computer. Many of them are web-based learning materials, which are developed by Java or Flash. Since the technology of the representation, storage, com-putation and communication in computer make progress, the environment of education is also developed. Especially, the internet and VR technology will cause the education to change. A key feature of VR is real-time interactivity, in that the computer is able to detect student input and instantaneously modify the virtual world. It is reported that using the VR simulation in chemistry education can increase student engagement in class, promote understanding of basic chem-ical principles, and augment laboratory experience. In this study, application way of the virtual reality technology in chemistry education is examined.

몰입형 가상현실 시스템의 발전은 더욱 현실감 있는 가상 현실의 구현을 가능케 했으며, 이런 몰입형 가상 현실의 현실감으로 인해 자동차 설계나 시뮬레이션 실험 등의 공학 분야에서부터 의료 분야에 이르기까지, 가상 현실은 그 실용 범위를 꾸준히 넓힐 수 있었다. 최근에는 문화재 복원 분야에 몰입형 가상현실 시스템을 사용하는 연구가 활발하게 이뤄지고 있으며, 가상현실과 네트워크 환경을 접목해서 원거리에 있는 시스템 사용자들 간에 컨텐츠를 공유하고 상호작용을 교류하는 가상 협업 시스템도 실용화 단계에 이르렀다. 본 논문에서는 가상협업환경에 가상 문화재 복원이라는 컨텐츠를 접목시킨 소프트웨어의 설계와 구현에 관해 논한다. 복원에 사용된 컨텐츠는 1868 년 흥선대원군이 중건했을 당시의 경복궁이며, 경복궁의 3D 모델링 데이터를 몰입형 가상 현실 시스템인 CAVE 환경에서 가시화하고 협업 환경을 구축하는데 구현의 초점을 맞추었다. 몰입형 가상 현실을 사용한 협업 시스템은 협업환경을 필요로 하는 모든 응용 분야를 확장해서 사용자의 이해도와 체험도를 최대로 이끌어낼 수 있으므로, 향수 다양한 분야로 그 범위를 확장해서 적용할 수 있다.
