In Korea, safety accidents are continuously occurring due to the aging of underground facilities and lack of systematic management. Moreover, although the underground space is continuously being developed, the current status information is not clearly recorded and managed, so there is a limit to the systematic management of underground facilities. Therefore, this study developed an augmented reality-based system that can effectively maintain and manage underground facilities that are difficult to manage because they are located underground. In order to develop an augmented reality-based underground facility management system, three essential requirements, 'precise localization', 'use of BIM information', and 'ensure usability' were derived and reflected in the system. By utilizing Broadcast-RTK, the positional precision was secured to cm level, and the configuration and attribute information of the BIM was converted into the IFC format to construct a system that could be implemented in augmented reality. It developed an application that can optimize usability. Finally, through simulation, the configuration and attribute information of structures and mechanical systems constituting underground facilities were implemented in augmented reality. In addition, it was confirmed that the accurate and highly consistent augmented reality system works even in harsh environment (near high-rise building).

Recently, with the popularization of smartphones, augmented reality has become even more familiar to the public as an application that can provide realistic images as a tool for location-based services. Therefore, as a location-based application for smartphones that is appropriate for the application of augmented reality technology, the study develops a golf information system. Golf is the sport for which we should exactly know the accurate shape or distance to the destinations or obstacles, so the sport is suitable for applying the augmented reality technology. Even though the sport of golf has constantly increasing population to play it with the popularization of it, presently released golf-related smartphone apps are established as 2D images or in GPS basis; thus, they lack a sense of realism unfortunately. Thereupon, this study develops a golf information system by modifying and complementing usefully Mixare, the open source for augmented reality, for the sport of golf into an augmented reality-based system that can provide various information according to the actual environment of the golf course and describes how to apply it actually to the golf course.

The commemorative AR postage stamps which are the world first presented at The YEOSU EXPO 2012 has had meaning of communicating with future in this present from a convergence that the most analog medium is using now and that the AR is cutting edge of digital technology. The AR stamps printed 10 kind out of 33 commemorative stamps. These have great significance that is artistic value than that is world first. The applied AR images are not only expressed 3D real images but also artic represented and signifying each stamp images from visualized creativity process, and build 'new art space' that is new concept between on real(analog) and virtual(digital). This study analyzes meaning of images and then makes concept of AR contents design. The processing is designed and considered the meaning of architectures and environments, and the regional specific feature of the Yeosu with surrealistic graphic concept. The 10 of deducted images were expressed after AR coding such as visual arts. This study realized markerless 3D image tracking AR stamps and deducted research result are; the first, it was able to figure out how to realize AR in the process of registering the reference images, coordinating transformation, and hybriding AR on the stamps for the mobile devices. The second, it was able to be seeked a possibility of new virtual exhibition space. The third, it was able to know possibility of satisfaction of immersing with visual formativeness and usability with informativity.

With the introduction of smart phones, the augmented reality became popular and is increasingly drawing attention. The augmented reality in the mobile devices is becoming an individual area to study. Many applications of the augmented reality have been studied, but there are just a few studies on its combination with artificial intelligence in games. In this study, an artificial intelligence algorithm was proposed, which dynamically converts the state of the 3D agent in the augmented reality environment using the 3-Axis acceleration sensor in the smart phone. To control the state of the agent to which the artificial intelligence is applied, users used to directly enter the data or use markers to detect them. The critical values, which were determined via test, were given to the acceleration sensor to ensure accurate state conversion. In this paper, makerless tracking technology was used to implement the augmented reality, and the state of the agent was dynamically converted using the 3-Axis acceleration seonsor.

Using various types of educational media plays an important role in educating students with disabilities. In recent years, augmented reality has emerged as an important technology that can increase the effectiveness of special education programs. This study developed augmented reality contents focusing on the theme 'Weather and Life' in the 'Na' unit of the Basic Special School Curriculum, and explored the possibility of applying the contents to the science education. The contents design instructions and educational programs for this study were developed based on a focus-group interview conducted with five special school teachers and two developers. To explore the possibility of applying the augmented reality contents, a usability evaluation was conducted with 23 special school teachers and 18 students with intellectual disability. The results showed that the augmented reality contents had a high level of usability as the special school teachers received 4.73 and the students with intellectual disability received 4.75 out of 5. As a result of this study, we can draw a conclusion that there is a high possibility of applying augmented reality contents to science education for students with intellectual disability.

After the Pokemon game became popular, the popularity of the Augmented Reality game is higher than ever. Therefore, it is an important choice to use an engine to create an augmented reality game. It explains how to create an augmented reality game using Unity engine, which is one of the most used game engines in game development. We describe a method for implementing augmented reality optimized for games by selecting a MARKERLESS method that does not require a marker among the augmented reality techniques. In this paper, we propose a technique to create MARKERLESS augmented reality game using KUDAN AR engine which supports Unity engine and unity through 'Our Hero' project.

Recently, augmented reality (AR) technology has been widely used in a variety of fields such as defense, medical, education, and entertainment. In the augmented reality environment, a user can interact a virtual object by the user 's specific behaviors. Also, it is necessary to use a technique to automatically interacts among the generated virtual objects. In this paper, we propose an authoring model to apply augmented reality environments based on quantum computing inspired entanglement and overlapping phenomenon. For example, it is possible to allow the user to automatically increase and decrease the number of the object with the characteristics of the virtual object without user intervention. As a tested platform for this purpose, this paper provide an augmented reality eco-system environment with automatic interaction among virtual animals.

JPEG 표준화 기구에서 표준화 중인 JPEG AR 표준은 증강 현실 응용을 구성하는 요소간의 인터페이스를 표준화하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 증강 현실 기술을 기반으로 기존 미디어에 새롭게 가상 정보를 추가한 증강 미디어 서비스(개인화 서비스, 증강 방송, 사물 인터넷과 결합한 증강 미디어 서비스)를 JPEG AR 표준 측면에서 고찰하고, 이들 서비스를 위한 JPEG AR 표준의 추가 요소를 살펴본다. 세 가지 서비스를 구체적으로 살펴본바, JPEG AR 표준은 기존의 증강 현실 표준보다 유연한 시스템 구조를 갖고 있어 다른 분야 또는 시스템과의 연결이 용이하고, 이에 따라 증강 미디어 서비스뿐 아니라 새로운 융 복합 기술을 창출하는데 일조할 것으로 기대된다.

최근에 TV 방송에서 가상스튜디오나 가상캐릭터와 같은 가상현실(VR:Vinual Reality) 기술이 자주 사용되고 있으며, 증강현실(Ah: Augmented Reality) 기술에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 증강현실 기술을 방송에 응용한 가상스크린 시스템에 대해 소개한다. 가상스크린 시스템은 움직이는 색상패턴 패널을 추적하여 실시간으로 그 위에 동영상을 합성하는 증강 영상 시스템이다. KBS 기술연구소에서는 가상스크린 시스템을 개발하고 'K-비전'이라 이름지었다. 이 시스템은 사용자가 들고 움직이는 패널에 동영상이나 그래픽 영상 등을 보여줄 수 있는데, 보여지는 모든 영상은 카메라의 움직임과 패널의 움직임에 따라 정확하게 입혀진다. 패널 추적을 위하여 블럽분석(blob analysis)이나 특징추적(feature tracking)과 같은 영상처리 기술을 이용한다. K-비전은 모든 타입의 카메라와 사용 가능하며, 특별한 부가장치가 필요하지 않다. 센서를 부착하지 않아도 되고, 캘리브레이션(calibration) 과정 또한 필요하지 않다. K-비전은 선거개표방송, 다큐멘터리, 오락 프로그램 등 생방송 프로그램에서 활용한다.
