We propose a remote controlled robot manipulator using force feedback joystick. User can control easily 5 d.o.f robot manipulator in 3 demensional space using general joystick. A force sensor attached in developed gripper sends signal to main robot controller so as to know gripper grasp the object. The signal also sent to user through force feedback joystick. We designed a dexterous 5 d.o.f robot manipulator analysis the kinematics and inverse kinematics. The robot was simply developed using serial RC motor. As a main robot controller, we use 32bit MPU(AT91SAM7256) and micro C/OS. To show the validity of our developed robot, a several experiments were demonstrated.

The market of digital avatar with internet and digital technology is increasing rapidly. The users want to express any free-formed motion of their avatars in the cyber space. The user s motion capturing method as the avatar's motion can express any free-formed motion of the avatar in real-time but the methods are expensive and inconvenient. In this paper, we proposed a new method of expressing any free-formed motion of the avatar in real-time. The proposed method is an algorithm for real-time control of a 3D avatar in symmetry-formed free motion. Specially, the algorithm aims at the motion control of a 3D avatar for online dancing games. The proposed algorithm uses the skeleton character model and controls any one of two hands of the character model by a joystick with two sticks. In the symmetry-formed motion, the position and orientation of one hand can determine the position and orientation of the other hand. And the position and orientation of a hand as an end-effector can determine the pose of the arm by Inverse Kinematics. So the algorithm can control the symmetry-formed free motions of two arms by one joystick with two sticks. In the dance game, the algorithm controls the arm motion by the joystick and the other motion by the motion captured DB.

The advancement of virtual reality technology offers various locomotion options that support users' navigation behaviors in a virtual reality environment. This study was aimed at examining the effects of two navigation methods-joystick-controlling and walking-around-on users' perceived usability, behavioral engagement, and virtual presence. Fifty South Korean college students were recruited in the study, and they were assigned randomly to one of the two navigation conditions. Participants from each group were asked to observe a 3D object and complete the surveys. They were then asked to repeat the procedure with a 2D image. Using repeated-measures ANOVAs and MANOVA, we found that users using joystick-controlling reported higher usability and showed superior performance to the walking-around group on two tasks. Participants reported a higher behavioral engagement when observing the 2D image. Besides, they perceived a significantly higher virtual presence when observing the 2D image. Finally, we discussed the implications of the findings for the navigation method design.

비행시뮬레이터는 ICT 및 SW 응용분야에 속하는 기술로 항공기의 환경을 재현하는 시뮬레이션 환경을 제공한다. 시뮬레이터의 조종 장치인 일반적인 조이스틱을 대체한 기존 VR장비의 컨트롤러는 허공에 들고 조종하므로 정확하고 정교한 실제 항공기 조종에 사용하기에는 많은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 비행시뮬레이터와 VR분야에서 사용될 수 있는 가속도 센서와 진동 센서를 적용한 3D 조이스틱을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 3축 센싱과 정보를 표시하는 디스플레이 및 와이파이 통신을 위한 보드를 설계하고 유니티 기반의 가상 환경을 구현하여 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 정상적으로 통신 인터페이스를 통하여 조종 장치가 동작하였고 게임 및 구현된 보드에서 확인한 센싱값이 일치함을 확인하였다. 연구의 결과물은 비행시뮬레이터 외에도 VR 및 다양한 메타버스 관련 콘텐츠에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

In this paper, we propose a WiFi-based joystick with an acceleration sensor and a vibration sensor that can be used in flight simulators and VR fields. The flight simulator is a technology belonging to the ICT and SW application field and provides a simulation environment that reproduces the aircraft environment. Existing flight simulator control devices are fixed to a specific device and the user's activity area is limited. In this paper, a 3D space manipulation device was implemented for the user's free use of space. In addition, the proposed control device is designed as a WiFi communication board and display that displays information and performs 3-axis sensing for accurate and sophisticated control compared to existing VR equipment controllers. And the applicability was confirmed by implementing a Unity-based virtual environment. As a result of the implementation device verification, it was confirmed that the control device operates normally through the communication interface, It was confirmed that the sensing values in the game and the sensing values measured on the implemented board matched each other. The results of this study can be used for VR and various metaverse related contents in addition to flight simulators.

The flight simulator should be made like a actual flight. For the scene of sight, instrument should show the condition of flight and the pilot should catch the altitude, speed, pose and rate of lift of the airplane. The paper describes 3D flight visual training program of driving airplane in practice. It is for beginners using joystick in PC, implements airplane physical equations. And it uses rendering technology to implement vision parts of flying object.

Recently, Virtual reality parts is applied in various fields of industry. In this paper we got under control motion of reality robot from interface manipulation in the virtual world. This paper created virtual robot using of 3D Graphic Tool. And we reappeared a similar image with reality robot put on texture the use of components of Direct 3D Graphic. Also a reality robot and a virtual robot is controlled by joystick. The developed robot consists of robot controller with vision system and host PC program. The robot and camera can move with 2 degree of freedom by independent remote controlling a user friendly designed joystick. An environment is recognized by the vision system and ultra sonic sensors. The visual mage and command data translated through 900MHz and 447MHz RF controller, respectively. If user send robot control command the use of simulator to control the reality robot, the transmitter/recever got under control until 500miter outdoor at the rate of 4800bps a second in Hlaf Duplex method via radio frequency module useing 447MHz frequency.

The survival game is characterized by the ability to survive until the item is collected and the game is completed at the specified time, and the inventory function to store the item is the core of the game. Typical survival games include 'Don't Starve', 'H1Z1', and 'Lust'. The purpose of this paper is to design a 2.5D survival game that can be enjoyed by the smart device using Unity 3D engine. Because it is designed as a mobile platform, designing light inventory function using two lists rather than existing inventory function makes it easier to design than existing inventory and light design suitable for mobile. In general, it is characterized by designing a mobile game so that it does not depend on the place of the survival game.

A low cost PC based simulator for excavator manipulation has been developed using virtual reality technology. The simulator consists of two joystick input devices, server and client PCs, an excavator kinematics module, and a graphic rendering program Open Inventor. In order to use two joysticks in the PC window environment multi-thread programing with network protocol TCP/IP has been used. To provide realistic view to the operator, CAD program Pro/Engineer and 3D modeller have been employed to create 3D part geometry of tile manipulator and virtual environmental geometries. Those geometries also have been transformed and imported to the Open Inventor. The Simulator developed is to be improved for more realistic excavator operational training.
