Recently, the GPU computing method has been utilized to improve the performance of the physics simulation field. In particular, in the case of a deformed object simulation requiring a large amount of computation, a GPU-based parallel processing algorithm is required to guarantee real-time performance. We have studied the parallel structure design method to improve the performance of the mass spring simulation method which is one of the methods of implementing the deformation object simulation. We used OpenGL's GLSL, a graphics library that allows direct access to the GPU, and implemented the GPGPU environment using an independent pipeline, the compute shader. In order to verify the effectiveness of the parallel structure design method, the mass - spring system was implemented based on CPU and GPU. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves computation speed by about 6,000% compared to the CPU Environment. It is expected that the lightweight simulation technology can be effectively applied to the augmented reality and the virtual reality field by using the design method proposed later in this research.

As the advancement of technologies on indoor positioning systems and measuring devices such as LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and cameras, the demands on analyzing and searching indoor spaces and visualization services via virtual and augmented reality have rapidly increasing. To this end, it is necessary to model 3D objects from measured data from real-world structures. In addition, it is important to store these structured data in standardized formats to improve the applicability and interoperability. In this paper, we propose a method to construct IndoorGML data, which is an international standard for indoor modeling, from point cloud data acquired from LiDAR sensors. After examining considerations that should be addressed in IndoorGML data, we present a construction method, which consists of free space extraction and connectivity detection processes. With experimental results, we demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively reconstruct the 3D model from point cloud.

This paper presents a method to generate three-dimensional AR/VR models using the information in Isogen data files (IDFs). An IDF is an output file produced by ISOGEN that contains piping isometric drawings. A piping isometric drawing is used for pipeline installation in the shipyard; therefore, the drawing describes assembly information with symbolic features, not with detailed geometric features. An IDF specifies relationships between piping routes and components with three-dimensional points and tag information as well as the bill of the materials of a pipeline. The key idea of this paper is that AR/VR models can be generated with the piping route points data and piping components tag information in real time, without any conversion of standard data exchange file formats, such as STP, IGES, and SAT. This paper describes IDF data structure and suggests the geometry generation process with IDF data and parametric functions.

In the case of safety training where practical training is impossible due to risk problems, training contents using realistic media such as virtual reality or augmented reality are becoming a new alternative. In this paper, we propose a smoke modeling method that can be applied to safety-training contents implemented with realistic media technology. When an accident occurs in a hazardous area such as a petrochemical plant, visibility is not secured due to gas leakage and fire. In order to create such a situation, it is important to realistically express smoke. The proposed method is a smoke model implementation technique that can be effectively applied to the background of complex passages and devices such as petrochemical plants. In the proposed method, the smoke is expressed using volumetric rendering in the post-processing stage for the resulting image of scene rendering. Implementation results in the background of the factory show that the proposed method produces models that can express the smoke realistically.

In this study, real-time character navigation using AR lens developed by Nreal is developed. Real-time character navigation is not possible with general marker-based AR because NPC characters must guide while moving in an unspecified space. To replace this, a markerless AR system was developed using Digital Twin technology. Existing markerless AR is operated based on hardware such as GPS, gyroscope, and magnetic sensor, so location accuracy is low and processing time in the system is long, which results low reliability in real-time AR environment. In order to solve this problem, using the SLAM technique to construct a space into a 3D object and to construct a markerless AR based on point location, AR can be implemented without any hardware intervention in a real-time AR environment. This real-time AR environment configuration made it possible to implement a navigation system using characters in tourist attractions such as Suncheon Bay Garden and Suncheon Drama Filming Site.

One of critical issues in the housing area is what strategies should be adopted for revitalizing contemporary communities in housing complex. It is expected that those strategies could encourage neighbourship and recover the existing community spaces. Based on the assumption that contemporary communities might have different characteristics from those of the traditional communities and spaces, this research aims to explore the possibility of new communities in a current context. With the development of the information communication technologies (ICT) and hardware systems, the environment would be capable of anticipating people's needs and then provide them with customization options to tailor the environment to their requirements. By incorporating the 'smart' paradigm, this paper introduces the concept of a smart community and space with the potential of mobile Augmented Reality(AR) as alternative strategies for activating the communities. The residents believe that existing common spaces need to be extendable and augmented by combining new technologies. The smart communities and spaces are expected to extend people's interaction to virtual world in aj real context, further combined with social network, it enables sustainable relationships among residents, contributina to a new type of community.

Augmented reality (AR), which is a live direct or indirect view of a real-world environment combined with virtual objects, has grown rapidly owing to its wide application potential. Despite the growth of AR technology and its increased attraction, however, little attention has been paid to identifying sub-technologies of this technology and their evolving trends based on the data encompassing industrial competition. In the present study, therefore we collect AR-related patents granted until 2015 and then identify technology topics constituting AR technology by applying topic modeling to the patents' textual data. Subsequently, this study determines dynamic evolving trends with respect to those identified technology topics using indicators and maps based on the technology topics' patents and citations. The contributions of this study are twofold; it provides an overall understanding of AR technology's evolving trends based on text mining of AR patents and will assist technology experts in academia and industry in determining further R&D in the near future.

메타버스 개발을 위한 세계 각국의 행보가 빨라지고 있다. 미국의 <세컨드라이프>를 시작으로 MS와 구글이 차세대 메타버스 개발을 서두르고 있고, 일본에서도 , , 등이 이미 출시되었거나 출시를 앞두고 있다. 이에 발맞춰 메타버스에 관한 연구도 한창인데, 2006년 5월 미국 캘리포니아에서 열린 제1회 메타버스 로드맵 서alt(Metaverse Roadmap Summit)이 대표적이다. 미국미래학협회(ASF)주최로 열린 이 행사에는 미국의 저명한 IT전문가, 게임제작자들이 대거 참가했고, 조직위측은 이날 햇사에서 진행된 수십 시간 분량의 토론을 인터넷에 고시해서 1년동안 각계각층의 의견을 수렴했다. 그리고 1년 후인 2007년 6월 <메타버스 로드맵 3D웹으로 가는길>을 발표됐다. 뿐만 아니라 비슷한 시기에 일본의 <노무라연구소>에서도 IT로드맵을 발표하고 메타버스의 발전전망을 제시했다. 이에 반해 세계최고의 IT기술력을 자랑하는 국내에서는 메타버스에 관한 개발과 연구가 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 고에서는 미국의 <메타버스 로드맵>과 일본의 을 중심으로 메타버스의 개념과 발전전망을 살펴보고, 현존하는 가상세계 중 메타버스 개념에 가장 근접했다고 평가받는 린든랩의 <세컨드라이프>의 의의와 한계를 짚어보았다. 또한 제2, 제3의 <세컨드라이프>를 노리고 있는 세계 각 국의 메타버스 개발동향을 분석하고 이를 통해서 차세대 메타버스 개발의 성공조건으로서 풍부한 콘텐츠 제공과 SNS기능의 강화, 미러월드의 발전가능성등에 주목해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 90년대 온라인게임의 성공 이후 장기간 침체 현상을 보이고 있는 우리의 가상세계 개발연구에 유의미한 시사점을 지닌다고 하겠다.
