Currently, virtual reality contents using VR images are spotlighted since they can be easily created and utilized. But because VR images are in a state of lack of interaction, there are limitations in their applications and usability.In order to overcome this problem, we propose a new method in which 360 degree panorama image and game engine are utilized to develop a high resolution of interactive VR service in real time. In particular, since the background image, which is represented by a form of panorama image, is pre-generated through a heavy rendering computation, it can be used to provide a immersive VR service with a relatively small amount of computation in run time on a low performance device. In order to show the effectiveness of our proposed method, an interactive game of a virtual zoo environment was implemented and illustrated showing that it can improve user interaction and immersion experience in a pretty good way.

Respectful Recognition of Life is a broad concept that includes a mindset that values oneself, others, animals and plants, does not harm them, and protects the environment. Prior research examined the relationship between companion animals and the perception of respect for life. In this study, we investigated and analyzed whether the development of interactive game content with virtual pets in augmented reality has the effect of improving the perception of respect for life. To this end, six contents were developed by referring to the daily routine of a panda keeper, an endangered species. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the effect of recognizing respect for life is similarly applied to the interaction with virtual pets, and it is expected that it will be able to satisfy the needs of users who want to keep endangered species as pets.

In this paper, a VR-based cyber hiking system was designed to provide virtual reality for famous mountains that can offer the real senses and feelings of hiking in supporting environmental factors of actual mountains such as the temperature, air, sound, echoes, etc., of the mountain the user wants to climb. The VR-based cyber hiking system that reflects real-time site conditions is largely consisted of the data collection module that collects data from the live site, multiple drive modules that enables the user to feel real senses using data from the sites, and sensor module to detect the stimuli provided by the drive modules and the user's physical body transition. Unlike existing VR-based hiking systems, the proposed cyber hiking system not only provides simple virtual reality for the wanted mountain, but can also provide the natural conditions of real mountains and implement the uphill and downhill of hiking routes. In particular, it has the effect of providing fun and game elements to users by excluding unnecessary conditions and risks that may arise in actual hiking and instead supporting augmented realities such as squirrels on actual hiking paths. In addition, in providing users with the changes in their body before and after hiking, it is expected to be effective in providing diverse feedback such as the height, gradient, and speed of mountain hiking.

Virtual reality, which is attracting attention due to the 4th Industrial Revolution and commercialization of 5G technology, is expanding its scope from gaming to tourism, leisure, and education, and the VR market is expected to expand continuously. As the VR market scales up in Korea, theme parks combining virtual reality contents are spreading around the city center. Unlike the existing theme parks, VR Theme Park is a small amusement culture space that is organized indoors, and you can enjoy attractions (ride) that can be enjoyed in an amusement park with virtual reality contents. Virtual reality content, which has the same characteristics as a theme park whose purpose is to experience extraordinary experiences, provides high immersion and presence in combination with the physical stimulus of attraction. The virtual reality content combined with the attraction cannot be classified accurately with the existing classification method, so a new classification method is proposed according to the experience type and the installation type. The contents were categorized through the case of the domestic VR theme park, and the planning direction for the creation of the virtual reality attraction contents that was going on was sought.

This paper introduces a Statecharts-based progressive behavior LOD model for computer games and virtual reality systems. In order to use computing resources efficiently and generate an LOD model having arbitrary complexity, we defined a progressive behavior LOD model which including a Statecharts-based specification process, refinement operations, a switching policy, and an LOD selection policy. Additionally, in order to show the possibility of the proposed approach, we demonstrate an example of progressive LOD models by illustrating a step-by-step design of a virtual vehicle.

3D에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 3D 애니메이션, 가상 현실, 3D 게임 등의 다양한 응용 분야에서 3D 컨텐츠에 대한 기술이 급격히 증가하였다. 그러나 3D 컨텐츠를 개발하기 위하여 특별한 3D 컨텐츠 개발 소프트웨어를 배워야 하고, 그에 따른 시간을 필요로 한다. 또한 여러 가지 상이한 개발 소프트웨어를 사용하여 개발하기 때문에 개발 소프트웨어마다 다른 방식으로 결과물들이 나온다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 XML 기반의 시나리오를 제안하였다. 그리고 XML 기반의 시나리오에 맞게 컨텐츠를 제작할 수 있는 시나리오 작성모듈과 XPlayer를 개발하였다. 그 결과 XML의 특징인 유연성과 확장성을 이용하여 개발 소프트웨어에 의존하지 않는 3D 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 제작을 가능하게 하였고, 제작된 3D 객체들은 XML을 통해 모든 객체들을 요소(element)화하여 객체의 재사용을 가능하게 하였다.

지금가지 컴퓨터를 기반으로 하는 가상 공간에 관한 연구는 게임, 교육 시스템 가상 현실(VR) 등의 분야에서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다 그러나 기존의 연구분야는 그래픽스에 치중해오고, 가상 공간에서 다양한 변화에 관한 연구는 미흡하다. 그래픽스에 치우친 응용 프로그램은 처음에는 사용자의 몰입감을 높이지만, 가상 공간에서 정해진 변화로 인해 사용자의 흥미 유발을 감소시킨다. 그래서 가상 공간에서 다양한 변화를 나타내기 위한 연구가 있어 왔는데, 이들도 여러 가지 문제점으로 제한된 범위의 응용에서만 사용이 가능하다 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 존재성과 논리성을 가지는 physicalentity의 기본 구조와 Message Model에 기반하여 다양하고, 예측할 수 없는 상황을 전개해 나가는 방법을 제시한다.

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.

The purpose of this review was to investigate feasibility of intensive virtual reality training to improve upper extremity function with brain plasticity of individuals with stroke through the literature. The recovery of the paretic upper extremity depends on regularity and intensity of training as use-dependent plasticity. In resent, virtual reality program has been widely used in the occupational therapy field of augmented stroke rehabilitation. There is a growing body of evidence that virtual reality training of the paretic extremity induces brain plasticity associated with motor improvement. In terms of therapeutic feasibility to improve paretic upper extremity, recent research has explored several important factors of virtual reality training for recovery of upper extremity motor function. These factors include high repetition intensity, high motivation like type of game, enhanced multisensory feedback regarding performance, and interactive task-oriented training. Therefore, occupational therapy combined with intensive and repetitive virtual reality training will enhance recovery of upper extremity motor function after stroke.
