There exist a variety of VR(Virtual Reality) contents that have been developed by the use of the latest VR technologies. Unlike the rapid advances in the recent VR devices however, the development of VR based game contents that fully utilize such cutting-edge devices has been lackluster. Using more accessible form of smartphone-based HMDs(Head-Mounted Displays), we compare two popular VR presentation methods(a realistic 3D VR karaoke room and a 360 degree video karaoke room) and analyze their users' immersion and realistic perception. We expect that our study can be utilized as a supporting guideline for future smartphone-based VR content developments.

Virtual reality is a technology for enabling users to interact with a computer generated environment which can be similar to the real world. A multi-channel display is one of the virtual reality platform for creating a high resolution image. In this paper, we develop a multi-channel display system which allows users to immersively understand the 3D educating contents and furthermore, we construct 3D educating contents for describing a semiconductor concept and process.

The purpose of the study was to explore whether the Cyber Motion sickness used VR causes a change in the dynamic balance and fall. For 39 people who voluntarily participated in this study, this study measured the motion sickness questionnaires, the heart rate and stability of limit test in BioRescue. The study used Samsung Gear VR and applied the games to the To the homeland. The game proceeded 20minutes. Although the value of the stability after a VR application is slightly reduced, it did not reach statistical significance. The motion sickness questionnaires increased, and it had a statistical significant impact. Also Heart rate increased and it had a statistically significant impact. A virtual reality game affect for getting motion sickness but it did not affect the dynamic balance. So, cyber motion sickness caused by virtual reality wear does not result in decreased balance and falls.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an immersive virtual reality-based simulation learning program(IVR-SLP) on the communication competence and learning attitude of students with intellectual disabilities. To do this, 23 participants with intellectual disabilities were selected from 2 special schools. 11 students were placed in an experimental group and 12 students in a control group. An IVR-SLP, focusing on possible situations in a convenience store, was implemented within the experimental group and a traditional intervention program was implemented within the control group. The programs were conducted 5 times per week for 4 weeks and each session lasted approximately 40 minutes. Evaluations were carried out by using a pre- and post- test, and the results of the evaluation were analyzed using the independent t-test. The results of this study indicated that the communication competence of the experimental group showed greater improvement than that of the control group. In addition, the learning attitude of the experimental group became more positive than that of the control group. This implies that the immersive virtual reality-based simulation learning program can be a very effective tool for teaching language and communication skills to students with intellectual disabilities.

최근 영상처리 및 컴퓨터비전 등 많은 분야에서 딥러닝 기술이 빠르게 발전하면서 다양한 문제들을 높은 성능으로 해결하고 있다. 이에 MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) 표준에서도 딥러닝 기반의 미디어 기술이 활발히 제안 및 논의되고 있다. 특히, 몰입형 입체영상 압축을 위한 MPEG-I (MPEG Immersive) 표준은 메타버스 산업으로 크게 관심받고 있는 가상현실, 증강현실, 그리고 혼합현실 등에 대응하기 위해 현재 활발히 연구 중이다. 입체영상은 일반적으로 복수 시점의 컬러영상과 깊이영상으로 구성되어 있어 데이터의 양이 크기 때문에, MPEG-I 표준은 시점 간의 중복된 영역들을 제거하는 프루닝 과정을 통해 효율적인 압축을 수행한다. 하지만, 프루닝 과정에서 정반사 영역이 함께 제거되는 문제로 정확한 입체영상 복원에 한계가 있다. 본 학회지에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 MPEG-I 표준에 기고된 딥러닝 기반의 정반사 영역 검출을 통한 몰입형 입체영상 압축에 대해 소개한다.

This presents an English conversation training system with which learners train their conversation skills in English, which makes them converse with native speaker characters in a virtual reality environment with voice. The proposed system allows the learners to talk with multiple native speaker characters in varous scenarios in the virtual reality environment. It recongizes voices spoken by the learners and generates voices by a speech synthesis method. The interaction with characters in the virtual reality environment in voice makes the learners immerged in the conversation situations. The scoring system which evaluates the learner's pronunciation provides the positive feedback for the learners to get engaged in the learning context.

This study investigates the effectiveness of virtual reality agents as foreign language instructors with focus on the impact of different native language backgrounds and instructional roles. The agents were first distinguished as native or non-native speakers treated as a between-subject factor, and then assigned roles as either teachers or salespersons considered within-subject factors. An immersive virtual environment was developed for this experiment, and a 2×2 mixed factorial design was carried out. In an experimental group of 72 university students, statistically significant interactions were found in learning satisfaction, memory, and recall between the native/non-native status of the agents and their roles. With regard to learning confidence and presence, however, no statistically significant differences were observed in both interaction effects and main effects. Contextual learning in a virtual environment was found to enhance learning effectiveness and satisfaction, with the nativeness and the role of agents influencing learners' memory; thus highlighting the effectiveness of using virtual reality agents in foreign language learning. This suggests that varied approaches can have positive cognitive and emotional impacts on learners, thereby providing valuable theoretical and empirical implications.
