Since the introduction of CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) in the 1950s, display technologies have been developed continuously. Flat panel displays such as PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) were commercialized in the late 1990s, and OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diodes) and Micro-LED(Micro-Light Emitting Diodes) are now being developed and are becoming widespread. In the future, we expect to develop ultra-realistic, flexible, embedded sensor displays. Ultra-realistic display can be applied to AR/VR(Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) devices and spatial light modulators for holography. The sensor-embedded display can be applied to robots; electronic skin; and security devices, including iris recognition sensors, fingerprint recognition sensors, and tactile sensors. AR/VR technology must be developed to meet technical requirements such as viewing angle, resolution, and refresh rate. Holography requires optical modulation technology that can significantly improve resolution, viewing angle, and modulation method to enable wide-view and high-quality hologram stereoscopic images. For electronic skin, stable mass production technology, large-area arrays, and system integration technologies should be developed.

This study empirically analyzed the effects of immersion and self-efficacy on the intention to continuously use realistic media. To this end, we used an extended technology acceptance model that includes not only the perceived ease of use and usefulness, but also the perceived joy as important factors. We collected data from 595 participants through an online questionnaire survey and tested the research model using a covariance-based SEM. As a result, we found that a user's immersion significantly increased perceived usefulness, ease of use, and joy of realistic media; and self-efficacy increased perceived usefulness and ease of use. Although the effect of perceived usefulness was relatively stronger than that of perceived joy, we found that the effect of perceived joy on the intention to use was also quite large. The effect of perceived ease of use on intention to use was found to be completely mediated by perceived usefulness and joy. In addition, the differences according to the types of media were tested by comparing two groups: augmented reality and virtual reality. The effects of perceived ease, usefulness, and joy on the intention to use were very similar regardless of the type of immersive media. However, it was found that self-efficacy increases usefulness only in augmented reality. Based on our findings, we have discussed the implications of our study, as well as the scope for future research.

Eight out of the top ten the largest technology companies in the world are involved in some way with the coming mobile VR revolution since Facebook acquired Oculus. This trend has allowed the technology related with mobile VR to achieve remarkable growth in both academic and industry. Therefore, the importance of reproducing the acoustic expression for users to experience more realistic is increasing because auditory cues can enhance the perception of the complicated surrounding environment without the visual system in VR. This paper presents a audio downmixing system for auralization based on hardware, a stage of sound rendering pipelines that can reproduce realiy-like sound but requires high computation costs. The proposed system is verified through an FPGA platform with the special focus on hardware architectural designs for low power and real-time. The results show that the proposed system on an FPGA can downmix maximum 5 sources in real-time rate (52 FPS), with 382 mW low power consumptions. Furthermore, the generated 3D sound with the proposed system was verified with satisfactory results of sound quality via the user evaluation.

기후변화, 도시화 등 다양한 요인에 의하여 도시 침수 위험성은 더욱 커지고 있다. 높은 인구밀도와 더불어 학교, 병원 등 인프라가 집중된 도시지역의 경우 대규모 홍수가 발생할 경우 수많은 인적, 경제적 피해로 이어지게 된다. 도시지역 내 침수 위험성을 최소화하기 위해 정확하고 빠른 도시침수모형의 개발과 더불어 사전에 이를 최소화하기 위한 방재교육의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 가상현실 (Virtual Reality, VR) 기술은 높은 몰입감을 통해 사용자의 자발적 참여를 유도하여 기존의 교육매체 대비 높은 교육적 효과를 보이고 있다. 특히 침수 등 인명피해 위험성을 내재한 재해에의 VR 적용은 위험성을 동반하지 않아 더욱 효과적이다. 종래의 VR 기반 침수 방재교육은 침수의 동수역학적 거동과 대상 지역의 지리적 특성을 적절히 고려하지 못하여 방재교육에는 효과적이나 방재시스템으로의 활용엔 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 몰입형 파랑해석모형인 Celeris Base를 토대로 몰입형 도시 침수 수치모형을 개발하였다. Unity3D로 개발된 Celeris Base는 가상현실 장비인 HMD (Head Mounted Display) 기술을 이용하여 실시간 모의결과를 360도 가상현실 공간 내에 가시화할 수 있다. 도시지역 내 강우에 의한 침수를 모의하기 위해 연속방정식 내에 강우, 침투 항을 고려하였다. 침투모형으로는 도시지역 내 침수모의에 일반적으로 사용되는 NRCS-CN 방법을 사용하였다. 본 연구는 개발모형을 이용하여 2022년 8월 발생한 집중호우에 의한 강남역 일대 침수 사상을 수치적으로 재현하고, 이를 가상현실 모의환경 내에 가시화하였다. 모의결과는 집중호우 발생 시 지형적 특성에 따라 강남역과 역삼역 인근에서 집중적으로 침수피해가 발생하였음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 가상현실에서 헤드 마운티드 디스플레이(Head mounted display, HMD) 사용자와 Non-HMD 사용자에게 사용자의 걷기, 뛰기, 절름발이 움직임을 몰입감 있게 표현하기 위한 새로운 가상현실(VR, Virtual Reality) 인터페이스를 제안한다. 가상현실에서는 몰입감을 높이기 위해 시각적 감각을 활용한 HMD와 사용자의 자세나 움직임을 추적하는 장비를 활용하지만, 일반적인 사용자들에게 HMD 보급은 많이 이루어져 있지 않으며, 비용적인 측면과 멀미로 인해 가상현실 콘텐츠에 몰입하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 효율적으로 몰입도를 높이고 비용적인 부담을 줄여주기 위해 아두이노를 활용한 새로운 보행 인터페이스 장치를 제안한다. 보행 인터페이스 장치는 사용자의 다리 가속도 정보를 기반으로 사용자의 상태 변화에 맞게 패턴을 설정하여 사용자의 걷기, 뛰기, 절름발이 움직임을 통해 사용자 캐릭터의 움직임을 제어하고 표현할 수 있는 새로운 결과를 보여준다.

Although e-sports broadcasting market based on VR(Virtual Reality) is growing in these days, technology development for securing market competitiveness is quite inadequate in Korea. Global companies such as SLIVER and Facebook already developed and are trying to commercialize 360 VR broadcasting technology which is able to broadcast e-sports in 4K 30FPS VR video. However, 2D video is too poor to use for 360 VR video in that it brings less immersive experience and dizziness and has low resolution in the scene. this paper, we not only proposed and implemented virtual camera technology which is able to capture in-game space as 360 video with 4K 3D by 60FPS for e-sports VR broadcasting but also verified feasibleness of obtaining stereo 360 video up to 4K/60FPS by conducting experiment after setting up virtual camera in sample games from game engine and commercial games.

The project of China initiative Accelerator Driven Subcritical (CiADS) system has been started to construct in southeast China's Guangdong province since 2019, which is expected to be checked and accepted in the year 2025. In order to make the students in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) better understand the main characteristic and the operation condition in the subcritical nuclear facility, the training platform for CiADS has been developed based on the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) in the Institute of Modern Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMPCAS). The CAVE platform is a kind of non-head mounted virtual reality display system, which can provide the immersive experience and the alternative training platform to substitute the dangerous operation experiments with strong radioactivity. In this paper, the CAVE platform for the training scenarios in CiADS system has been presented with real-time simulation feature, where the required devices to generate the auditory and visual senses with the interactive mode have been detailed. Moreover, the three dimensional modeling database has been created for the different operation conditions, which can bring more freedom for the teachers to generate the appropriate training courses for the students. All the user-friendly features will offer a deep realistic impression to the students for the purpose of getting the required knowledge and experience without the large costs in the traditional experimental nuclear reactor.
