The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of full immersion virtual reality (VR) on the autonomic nervous system. The study was conducted with 17 men in their 20s. The subjects were given full immersion VR content, and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were measured for five minutes before and after the application of the full immersion VR. The autonomic nervous system was evaluated by analyzing the LF, HF, TP, and LF/HF ratio of the ECG signal. The obtained data was analyzed by conducting a paired sample t-test. After applying full immersion VR, the subjects' HF and TP decreased significantly, while their LF/HF ratio increased significantly. According to the results of this study, Full immersion VR provided stress to the autonomic nervous system, but the changes were within the normal range of healthy adults. Therefore, full immersion VR can be safely applied to healthy adults.

Recently, culture technology (CT), which combines cultural contents and IT technology, is being watched as a new growth engine, and IT technology is actively utilized in preserving, inheriting and utilizing cultural heritage. For this, new areas of convergence of IT technology and cultural heritage are attracting attention. In particular, virtual reality is a representative area of IT convergence in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Although some studies have been conducted to utilize virtual reality technology to preserve and inform cultural heritage, it is mainly limited to tangible cultural properties. In this study, we propose a methodology to develop contents of intangible cultural heritage using virtual reality technology in intangible cultural properties. To do this, we classify the types of intangible cultural properties to apply the technology to each type of intangible cultural property. Next, virtual reality, augmented reality, and $360^{\circ}VR$ video technology are applied to the intangible cultural properties classified.

Military training is being carried out to win the combats through the quick and accurate response exercise for changeable engagement situations on battle fields. However, practically, it is really difficult to do actual fight training. Even though ROK Army is doing effort for practical training in KCTC(Korea army advanced Combat Training Center) supplying such as MILES equipments but a single platoon is able to use KCTC facilities or MILES equipments only 10 days a year. In order to find solution on this problem many researches suggesting AR or VR technology are still on the way. Nevertheless these are not fully covered the training done in the real field. In this regard, this paper proposes how the AR technology algorithm to apply on small units during field training exercise.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of simulation program using virtual reality (VR). Examination of databases resulted in identification of 1,415 studies of which 3 satisfied the inclusion data. Data analysis was performed using R version 4.0.2 to calculate the effect sizes, explore possible causes of heterogeneity, and check for publication bias, using a funnel plot. The mean effect size of the simulation program was medium (g=0.35), along with the skill performance (g=0.59), satisfaction (g=0.38), knowledge (g=0.21). Finally a funnel plot was produced to check for publication bias, but no significant bias was detected. Based on these findings, the simulation program using VR affects nursing education.

As augmented reality technology has developed, various augmented reality contents can be seen in real life, and the performance of mobile device is improved, so augmented reality technology can be used even without special device. As a result, a training system, guidance system and a museum art guide system based on augmented reality technology are emerging, and interest in augmented reality is also increasing. However, the existing guidance systems using a single mobile device have limitations in terms of the user experience (UX) because the camera of the device limits the field of view or the two hands are not free and the user input is difficult. In this paper, we compare augmented reality based guidance systems for Rubik's Cube using tablet and HMD to improve the constraint of user experience of such a single mobile device, and find elements that positively improve user experience. After that, we evaluate whether the user experience is actually improved through the user experience comparison test and the questionnaire.

The latest convergence of broadcasting and communication makes the boundary between medias be ambiguous. It pursues the new type of culture that the unspecified many participants seek the satisfaction for the same target in an realtime environment. ARG(Alternative Reality Game) is a new alternate real game created by media convergence and it processes the more realistic interactivity between users through ARS, SMS, BLOG, Cafe and Messages. This paper analyzes the implementation, design, and construction schemes of ARG in the side of the human thinking and media. We also propose the evolution and role of the broadcasting by combining broadcasting for the activation of ARG.

Recent advancements in virtual reality (VR) and robotics have increased interest in integrating physical and virtual environments. Point cloud data from cameras and LiDAR are essential for capturing 3D environmental details. This study proposes a ray-casting-based method for generating real-time point cloud data, enabling efficient virtual environment exploration. The agent prioritizes unexplored regions by analyzing point cloud density, separates ground and obstacles using RANSAC, and plans paths with the A^* algorithm and Catmull-Rom splines. Implemented in Unity, the method supports real-time processing without complex preprocessing. Experiments confirm its effectiveness, highlighting its potential for various applications.

증강현실은 1960년대 중반부터 시작된 기술이지만 그동안은 제한된 범위의 응용을 중심으로 고성능 고정 단말 상에서 기능을 구현하여 왔다. 그러나 최근 5년 사이 카메라와 GPS 등의 다양한 센서를 내장한 모바일 단말과 스마트폰의 보급이 확산이 되고, 빠른 모바일 인터넷을 이용한 인터넷서비스들과 융합된 다양한 기능들이 선보이면서, 모바일 증강현실 분야는 급속히 확산되고 있다. 초기의 증강현실 서비스는 가상객체를 효과적으로 보여주기 위한 관점이었다면, 최근의 모바일 증강현실 서비스들은 다양한 인터넷 서비스와 정보들을 효과적으로 브라우징하거나 센서 정보 등을 기반으로 모바일 단말을 이용해 편리한 증강 인터페이스를 사용하도록 하는 것에 보다 많은 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 모바일 증강현실 기술 동향과 관련 표준화 동향을 고찰함으로써 미래 모바일 증강현실 기술의 진화 방향과 그 의미를 살피고자 하였다.

사물인터넷, 인공지능, 로봇공학, 증강현실, 가상현실과 같은 고급 기술의 융합과 사용자 행동의 변화가 미래 사업의 모습을 다시 만들고 있다. 기업이 어떻게 잠재적 변화, 작업 공간의 설계, 업무의 정의, 업무 절차를 인식하느냐가 기업이 경쟁 우위를 갖게 하는 데 도움이 되는 중요한 요인이다. Frost & Sullivan은 사회적 진화, 미래에도 견고한 사업 모델, 기술 혁신 등 미래 사업의 모습을 만들어갈 3개의 중요한 동인을 찾아냈다. 실제 작업 공간에서 작업자와 기계의 융합, 사람과 공간의 융합과 같은 트랜드가 사이버 작업 공간에 일어날 것으로, 이를 통해 점진적으로 사업과 업무의 미래 모습을 만들 것이다. 하지만 디지털 전환을 받아들이는 와중에 기업은 숙련된 인력의 부족, 기술의 정렬, 직원 반발, 사이버 보안, 조직 구조와 사고 방식 등과 같은 문제를 해결해야만 한다. 이런 문제들을 해결하기 위해 SHARED 방법론이 기술 수용과 업무 절차 개선에 관심이 있는 기업을 위한 가이드라인 역할을 할 수 있다. 시장에서 성공하기 위해 기술 솔루션 제공자(Technology Solution Provider)는 서비스 제공자로서 역할을 계속하는 동시에, 고객에게 인력 관리 솔루션의 필요성을 교육해야 한다. 기술 솔루션 제공자는 디지털 전환 과정에서 기업과 동반할 믿음직한 조언자이자 장기적 파트너에 기초한 사업 관계를 구축해야만 한다.
