원격 3차원 디자인 협업 환경이란 원거리에 있는 디자이너들이 3차원 모델을 함께 동시적으로 다루는 협업 환경으로서, 제품 개발 프로세스의 비용과 시간을 단축하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 이에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이며 기존의 연구들도 2차원 데스크탑 환경에 제한된 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 새로운 협업 환경의 제안을 통해 지리적으로 떨어진 디자이너들간의 3D 모델에 관한 원활한 협업을 촉진하는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 증강현실 기반의 원격 3차원 디자인 협업 환경은 3D 모델의 공유를 위한 회전 원반(turntable)과 상대의 위치 및 제스처 정보를 제공하는 가상 그림자(virtual shadows)로 구성된다. 동시적으로 회전하는 회전원반은 물리적인 매개체로서 가상물체와 실제 세계를 자연스럽게 연결하는 동시에 상대의 실재감을 높인다. 가상그림자는 가상물체 주위로 보여지는 사람들의 손과 팔의 움직임을 시각화하여 공유하는 것으로, 상대의 위치뿐 아니라 지시, 제스처 등 행동에 대한 인식이 지속적으로 이루어지게 한다. 프로토타입을 제작하고 사용자 평가 실험을 실시하여 3차원 모델을 검토하는 단계에 그 유용성이 있음을 확인하였다. 데스크탑 환경의 모델링 툴에 익숙한 사용자들은 실제 공간에서 가상물체를 조작할 수 있음에 긍정적인 반응을 보였고 회전원반과 가상그림자의 제공은 태스크 수행의 정확도를 높이며 협업을 촉진하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 환경적 제약으로 원활하게 이루어지지 못했던 3D 모델에 관한 원격 협업에 의사소통의 장을 마련하고 이를 촉진시킨다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다. 본 환경에서 제시한 상대방과 협업대상물에 대한 심리적, 물리적 공유 감을 증대시키는 방법들은 3D 모델에 관한 디자인 협업에서 확장되어 다른 원격 협업을 지원하는 데도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

최근 코로나 19로 인해 비대면 활동이 늘어나고 있다. 비대면 회의, 비대면 강의, 비대면 과제 등이 이에 해당한다. 그에 따라 가상공간을 활용한 활동 또한 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 가상공간에서 인물들 사이 원활한 소통 및 현실감을 위해서는 실사적인 인물묘사가 필요하다. 따라서 실제 인물의 헤어스타일과 유사한 헤어스타일을 자연스럽게 증강시켜주는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 실사적인 아바타 생성을 위한 헤어스타일의 분류 및 탐색방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 우선 PCA(Principal Component Analysis) 와 K-means clustering 을 통해 헤어스타일에 대한 군집화를 진행한다. 그리고 Shape Indexed features를 이용하여 군집화 된 결과로부터 제일 유사한 헤어스타일 탐색방법을 제안하고 그 효용을 입증하였다.

In this paper, MPEG-I Immersive Audio Standardization and related trends are presented. MPEG-I Immersive Audio, which is under the development of standard documents at the exploration stage, can make a user interact with a virtual scene in 6 DoF manner and perceive sounds realistic and matching the user's spatial audio experience in the real world, in VR/AR environments that are expected as killer applications in hyper-connected environments such as 5G/6G. In order to do this, MPEG Audio Working Group has discussed the system architecture and related requirements for the spatial audio experience in VR/AR, audio evaluation platform (AEP) and encoder input format (EIF) for assessing the performance of submitted proponent technologies, and evaluation procedures.

Augmented reality is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data, where computer graphics objects are blended into real footage in real time and it has tremendous potential in visualizing geospatial information. However, to utilize augmented reality in mobile system, many researches have undergone with GPS or marker based approaches. Localization and tracking of current position become more complex problem when it is used in indoor environments. Many proposed RF based tracking and localization. However, it does cause deployment problems of large sensors and readers. In this paper, we present a noble markerless AR approach for indoor navigation system only using a camera. We will apply this work to mobile seamless indoor/outdoor u-GIS system.

The study considers the meaning of the composite images created when users capture present images over past images tagged location data in using the mobile augmented reality technology. The composite image through the location-based augmented reality technology is the result of matching the same location data between present images users are capturing and past images captured already. It is the new composite images that contain two different narratives-current and past in the same space and in real-time. We developed the mobile application implemented augmented reality technology and analysed the process that users create multi-layered narrative in the middle of capturing present image through augmented reality module. In addition, through the comparison with similar studies and applications of the augmented reality, we found that the key to give the multi-narrative in the composite images is the user's participation to put its personal intentions in real-time capturing process. In further development, we'll be able to utilize the application in order that users easily create multi-layered narrative composite image using cultural and personal records.

In this paper, we present binocular augmented reality system with smartphones. With improvements of performance and resolution of recent smartphones, various virtual reality devices using smartphones and applications are appearing in the market. But the augmented reality system with smartphones are not that popular because of the lack of required technologies. In our work, we discuss about 3D mapping and tracking using computer vision. Also, we provide hybrid tracking using sensors in the smartphone which can handle the computer vision failure cases. Bare hand 3D interaction method in our system will be also presented.

With the development of digital technologies, CAID became an essential part in the industrial design process. Creating photo-realistic images from a virtual scene with 3D models is one of the specialized task for CAID users. This task requires a complex interface of setting the positions and the parameters of camera and lights for optimal rendering results. However, the user interface of existing CAID tools are not simple for designers because the task is mostly accomplished in a parameter setting dialogue window. This research address this interface issues, in particular the issues related to lighting, by developing and evaluating TLS(Tangible Lighting Studio) that uses Augmented Reality and Tangible User Interface. The interface of positioning objects and setting parameters become tangible and distributed in the workspace to support more intuitive rendering task. TLS consists of markers, and physical controller, and a see-through HMD(Head Mounted Display). The user can directly control the lighting parameters in the AR workspace. In the evaluation experiment, TLS provide higher effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction compared to existing GUI(Graphic User Interface) method. It is expected that the application of TLS can be expanded to photography education and architecture simulation.

The sand table training is one of the most effective training method in military operations which can accomplish missions such as simulation and rehearsal without limitations related to time, space, money and so on. Previous sand table training has many problems like that the sand table cannot represent real field condition because of its physical properties. So, it is hard to be preserved and impossible to include much of information into them. In this paper, we make an approach based on Augmented Reality(AR) to solve these problems and propose an efficient military training briefing tool with virtual sand table environment described as actual battle field Virtual Tactical Map(VTM) can realize a virtual military training with simple action like moving marker or tangible interface by hand. Real-time state information of VTM gives us more organic intelligence for entire situation. Tangible AR interface provides users with a contents authoring tool that is natural, intuitive and easy to deal with as interaction between user in real world and system that augmented real world with virtual object. VTM is a newly designed military training briefing tools. A military training content can be reproduced and it is possible that user uses this content later. Thus, it shows us potential possibilities of AR applications on military leaning field.

This study examines the application of data visualization technology using a clustered data algorithm called 'Tamed Cloud' to virtual spaces and seeks the possibility of implementing it in various types of realistic exhibition contents. To this end, we first attempt to classify virtual reality (VR) exhibition contents starting with COVID-19, and summarize technologies applied. Also, various realistic exhibition contents provide visitors with an opportunity to appreciate the artworks through online and virtual exhibitions. In this trend, virtual reality and augmented reality (AR) technologies have been introduced, allowing visitors to enjoy the artwork more immersively, and the possibility of realistic exhibition content with interaction between the artwork and the user is also being demonstrated. Based on this background, this study examines the history of exhibition contents by dividing them before and after the advent of virtual reality technology, and examines how the clustered algorithm technology called Tamed Cloud was applied to virtual space and implemented as a realistic exhibition content in <70mK> project. By synthesizing all of this, we propose a convergence method of data visualization, virtual reality, and realistic content, and propose it as a new alternative to realistic exhibition content in virtual space.
