이전연구에서 가상현실에 몰입하는 동안 넓은 시야 (Field of view: 150$^{\circ}$)와 빠른 운행속도 (70 km/sec)가 사이버멀미를 심화시킨다는 결과를 얻었다: 피험자의 90%가 좁은 시야 (50$^{\circ}$)와 느린 운행속도 (30 km/sec)에서 사이버멀미 증상이 적었다. 본 실험에서는 피험자가 생리적인 동요를 경험할 때마다 바이오피드백 방법을 사용해서 사이버멀미 감소 가상환경 (cybersickness alleviating virtual environment, CAVE)을 제시한 후, 그 효과를 관찰하였다. 피부전도도, 말초체온, 말초혈류량, 심박률, 눈 깜박임, 뇌전위의 변수들을 입력으로 하는 인공신경망으로 구성된 실시간 멀미 탐지 시스템과 CAVE-제시 피드백 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 시스템은 생리적 측정치들이 사이버멀미의 출현을 신호할 때마다 피드백 출력으로 좁은 화면과 감소된 운행속도를 일시적으로 제공했다. 36명의 피험자를 대상으로 SSQ (simulator sickness questionnaires)와 자기보고를 이용하여 사이버멀미의 빈도와 심각도를 조사하였다. 모든 피험자는 한달 간격으로 CAVE 조건과 non-CAVE 조건에서 두 번 가상현실을 경험하였다. 사이버멀미의 빈도와 심각도는 non-CAVE 조건보다 CAVE 조건에서 유의미하게 감소하였다. 즉, 전기생리학적 특징들에 기반한 인공신경망에 의해 제공된 좁은 시야와 느린 운행의 가상환경은 사이버멀미 증상들을 의미있게 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 생체신호 피드백 시스템을 이용하여 인간 친화적 가상환경을 구축할 수 있는 가능성을 보인 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyse the opinions of tourists and local commercial residents for remodelling of Youngwol Gossi-cave area so that to find the way how to activate it. Therefore this study has been focused on the opinions of tourists to visit it, local merchants to sell goods and foods and officers to take charge of the control office. The present conditions of Gossi-cave area are stagnated since the service level is low by the excessive competition among the local merchants. As a result, the inner troubles have arisen among the local merchants. Therefore firstly the sustainable and future-oriented remodelling development of Youngwol Gossi-Cave area is required. And then the basic remodelling plan of participant type to be centered with tourists and local residents as the central figures through local residents' ability strengthening must be established. Lastly the basic remodelling plan through the connection of surrounding tour resources and the resource increase of local amenities must be established. Also it is necessary for the conversion as a tour place of sojourn by supplying with various shows through connections among surrounding tour resources worthy of seeing and the creation of concept to provide the excitement through the education and experience in a basic remodelling plan direction of Youngwol Gossi-cave area.

Baekasan Acheon cave located in Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do is a natural limestone cave only found in this province. In this study, the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of speleothems collected from Baekasan Acheon cave were identified and the capability of carbonate mineral formation by aerobic microorganisms enriched from the cave and the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of carbonate minerals formed by the microorganisms were investigated. The samples of sediments (clay) and speleothems (shelfstone and cave coral) were collected at three sites in the cave. The samples of shelfstone and cave coral were identified mainly as carbonate mineral, Mg-rich calcite, and clay minerals were composed of quartz, muscovite, and vermiculite by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. To cultivate the carbonate forming microorganisms, parts of the sediment and speleothems were placed in D-1 medium containing urea, respectively, and the growth of microorganisms was observed under the aerobic condition at room temperature. The capability of carbonate mineralization of the cultured Baekasan Acheon cave microorganisms was examined through adding 1% (v/v) of the cultured microorganisms and calcium sources, Ca-acetate or Ca-lactate, into the D-1 medium. XRD analysis showed that the microorganisms cultured in cave deposits formed calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) under all conditions, and these microbial carbonate minerals included calcite and vaterite. The morphological characteristics and chemical composition of biologically formed minerals were observed by SEM-EDS showed various crystal forms such as rhomboid, spherical, perforated surface with Ca, C, and O of major chemical components. The existence of such microorganisms in the cave can contribute the formation of carbonate minerals, and it is likely to affect the geochemical cycles of carbon and calcium in the cave.

The Kunang cave paleolithic site is located at Tanyang [$N37^{\circ}2'$, $128^{\circ}21'E$], Chungbuk Province, which is in the Central part of the Korean peninsula. The cave is developed at 312 amsl in a karstic mountainous area. The South Han River flows across this region and other caves can also be found near the river. The site was discovered in 1986 and excavated 3 times by the Chungbuk National University Museum until now. The cave was wellpreserved from modem human activities until the first discovery. The full length of the cave is estimated to be ca. 140 m. However, a spacious part up to 11 m from the entrance has been excavated. Eight lithological units are divided over the vertical profile at a depth of 5 m. Each unit is deposited in ascending order as follow: mud layer (Unit 9), lower complex (Unit 8) which is composed of angular blocks and fragments with a muddy matrix, lower travertine layer (Unit 7； flowstone), middle complex (Unit 6; cultural layer) which is composed of fragments with a muddy matrix, middle travertine layer (Unit 5； flowstone), yellowish muddy layer (Unit 4), upper complex (Unit 3； cultural layer) which has a similar composition to Unit 8. the upper travertine layer (Unit 2； flowstone), and finally surface soil layer (Unit 1). The most abundant vestiges in the cultural layers are the animal bones. They are small fractured pieces and mostly less than 3 cm in length. About 3,800 bone pieces from 25 animal species have been collected so far, 90 percent of them belonging to young deers. Previous archaeological study of these bone pieces shows thatprehistoric people occupied the cavenot for permanent dwelling but for temporary shelter during their seasonal hunting activity. More extensive studies of these bones together with pollen analysis are in progress to reconstruct the paleoenvironment of this cave. Only a single date (12,500 BP) obtained from a U-Th measurement of the upper travertine layer was previously available. In spite of the importance of the cave stratigraphy, there was no detail chronological investigation to establish the depositional process of the cultural layers and to understand the periodic structure of the cave strata, alternating travertine floor and complex layers. We have measured five 14C age dating (38900+/-1000, 36400+/-900, 40600+/-1600, more than 51000 and 52000 14C BP) using Seoul National University 14C AMS facility, conducted systematic process of the collagen extraction from bone fragments samples. From the result, we estimate that sedimentation rate of the cave earth is constant, and that the travertine layers, Unit 2 and Unit 3, was formed during MIS 5a(ca. 80 kBP) and MIS 5c (ca. 100 kBP) respectively. The Kunang Cave site is located at Yochonli of the region of Danyang in the mid-eastern part of Korea. This region is compased of limestones in which many caves were found and the Nam-han river flows meanderingly. The excavations were carried out three times in 1986, 1988, and 1998.

This study aims to validate the effectiveness of CAVE system with an Arm-Master in the evaluation of virtual prototypes. A virtual kitchen with a refrigerator was presented in the CAVE system. Subjects put in and pull out virtual objects by using the Arm-Master. Twelve subjects, six males and six females, participated in the six experimental conditions : three types of refrigerator door grips and two reaction forces. After each trial, subjects evaluated a door grip of the virtual refrigerator in terms of easiness of operation, similarity in force, presence etc. The results show the mean values of vortical-type door grips are greater than the horizontal pocket-type door grip. Also the subjects preferred 5N in the reaction force of the Arm-Master rather than 15 N when they open and close virtual door. Unexpectedly, female subjects significantly marked low scores in the evaluation terms compared ruth mali subjects. It explains the Arm-Master should be modified much more if it works effectively in design evaluation.
