In this study, we reviewed recent trends for enhancing human cognitive accessibility to social VR platform. We also proposed a practical method to predict VR sickness and improve the cognitive accessibility. In doing so, we investigated subtle changes in human body sway unconsciously made before, during, and after being exposed to extreme VR experience. The scientific assumption that VR sickness would be correlated with the subtle changes in body sway was validated. We found that participants who showed sensitive changes in the body sway before VR experience, felt more severe VR sickness than others. The findings can be practically applied in predicting susceptibility to VR sickness prior to VR experiences.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the continuous usage intention of head-mounted display-based virtual reality (HMD-based VR) content among college students. The study also sought to understand how this intention is influenced by factors related to personal cognition, social aspects, VR content, and HMD-related elements. Methods: This descriptive correlational study used a self-report questionnaire to survey 217 students from two universities in Korea who had prior experience with HMD-based VR content. Results: The mean score for continuous usage intention of HMD-based VR content was 2.59±0.57 points (range, 1-5 points). Regarding the average frequency of HMD-based VR content usage, 64.5% of participants reported using it 1 to 2 times, while 91.7% indicated a total HMD-based VR usage period of less than 6 months. Factors such as personal cognition, VR content, social aspects, and HMD-related elements had explanatory power of 35.1%, 10.7%, 4.4%, and 2.5%, respectively, for the continuous usage intention of HMD-based VR content. Additionally, engagement (β=.45, p<.001), influential others (β=.37, p<.001), environmental support (β=-.18, p=.030), and cyber sickness (β=-.21, p=.001) were identified as having a significant influence. Conclusion: When developing HMD-based VR content, strategies to improve users' personal cognition should be included. Additionally, it is necessary to develop strategies that enhance enjoyment and interest in the content, while also facilitating ongoing social support. Furthermore, coping strategies should be devised that take into account cyber sickness, a potential side effect of these devices.

Age related decrease of muscle strength, balance, and gait abilities bring about physical inactivity in the elderly. Virtual reality (VR) training has been used successfully to rehabilitate functional balance and mobility in elderly subjects. This study was aimed at determining the effect of VR-based exercise programs by using a video game on the muscle strength, balance, and gait abilities in the elderly. 48 old people were randomly divided into two groups; VR-group (men: 11, women: 14, age: 68.42yrs) and control group (men: 10, women: 13, age: 67.58yrs). VR-group performed an exercise program twice a week for 8 weeks and control group had no intervention. The VR-based exercise program was composed of warm up(10 mins), VR-program(40 mins), and cool down(10mins). It was performed by playstation eyetoy play that provided visual and auditory feedback as well as movements of the upper and lower extremities. Muscle strengths of the knee and ankle were measured using manual muscle tester. Static balance was estimated using computerized posturography. Dynamic balance was measured by Timed up and go test (TUG), Functional reach test (FRT). 10m walk test and 6-min walk test were used to assess gait abilities. After the completion of the VR-exercise program, muscle strength, balance, and gait abilities were improved significantly (p<0.05). In conclusion, the VR-based exercise program showed improvement on the muscle strength, balance, and gait ability in the elderly. This exercise program is both effective and interesting for this age group.

While only the experts could create the contents in the existing VR contents business, in the proposed "Untact Social VR Video-Based Tour Scheduling", the GUI (Graphic User Interface) allows anyone to easily and quickly share the information taken through VR camera after creating. It is intended to serve as a variety of SNS-based media by developing a structure that can be shared in html format after creating with the GUI menus. In particular, it is applied to companies that operate the SNS-type publicity projects including experience facilities and viewing facilities, and the various SNS-type publicity businesses that create the VR contents. Communication is clear compared to the existing homepage-based information delivery method, and It aims to provide universality that anyone can easily edit in an environment where only experts can edit VR video contents of.

In this paper, we propose the positive effects of Virtual Reality(VR) sports classes and the foundation for VR sports to become the basis of lifelong sports education through the application of physical education classes in sports virtual reality programs are to be provided. For this purpose, the effect of VR sports experience on sports satisfaction, sports immersion, and sports attitude factors was investigated for 281 elementary school students in Busan. Results It was found that VR sports experience had a significant effect on sports satisfaction, sports satisfaction had a significant effect on sports immersion and sports attitude, and sports immersion had a significant effect on sports attitude. The great advantage of sports virtual reality is that sports activities for items that are difficult to deal with in physical education classes and unpopular items will be easily performed. In addition, by using a program that links physical education classes with English and mathematics, physical education will be recognized as a convergence subject by elementary school students, and at the same time, it will become an integrated subject that can acquire fun elements and learning elements at the same time through play or games.

The government has defined domestic violence as one of the four major social evils and tried to prepare laws and systems to prevent it. Nevertheless, domestic violence has emerged as a serious social issue, and compare to the number of domestic violence cases that are constantly increasing, the report rate of domestic violence is significantly lower. This suggests the need to improve citizens' perception of domestic violence as the issue to solve it together in society, not as a private matter at home. Most of existing contents for preventing domestic violence and improving awareness are simple viewing forms of video contents, which have little effect on recognition. We aim to confirm the possibility of improving social awareness about domestic violence by producing Virtual Reality (VR) contents that have great features of user's immersion and empathy. In this VR content, the user can interact with various objects in the virtual reality of domestic violence and directly or indirectly experience the victim's position. Users who view the violent environment from the victim's point of view can have a subjective empathy for the problem, which is expected to induce more active awareness about domestic violence.

This study analyzed the contents of KOSS-SF and PWI-SF by using ICF-VR core set and IPC framework for value judgment. The two instruments are self-report questionnaires commonly used for presenteeism in order to suggest vocational rehabilitation factors to predict presenteeism. The study was conducted from Dec 2018 to Feb 2019. For the analysis, the researchers independently linked the scales using the connection rules of ICF and IPC framework. The average agreement between the researchers was 90%. KOSS-SF was linked with 60 ICF-VR codes and PWI-SF with 34 ICF-VR codes, and mainly measured activities and participation, and body function domains. According to the IPC framework, the instruments were found to measure the Rational-Social, and Emotional-Psychological aspects. As a result, the two instruments did not adequately reflect the presenteeism (30% matched) and were particularly limited in ICF-VR environmental domains. Based on the results, questions of ICF body structure, environmental, and personal domains should be added to improve the validity of the presenteeism scale, and references and guidelines should be developed for collecting clearer data. Further study and discussion were provided.
