Metaverse refers to a digitally expanded world by combining real and virtual spaces. As reality expands into the digital world, various things that were not possible before are possible with the aid of the system, and its usefulness is spreading metaverse rapidly regardless of industry. In particular, it is relatively easier to display information from the virtual world over the real world than to bring information from the real world into the virtual world, which is why most industries are pursuing a metaverse using AR(Augmented Reality). The construction industry also tried to introduce the AR metaverse except in certain fields such as education, but it is being used only limitedly due to the limitations of AR devices. The disadvantages of AR devices, which are sensitive to afterimage effects, narrow viewing angles, and environmental influences, are the main reasons that make AR challenging to use in actual workplaces, not only in the construction industry but also in other industries. So as the technological maturity of VR(Virtual Reality) devices increases, VR will gradually replace AR. Therefore, in response to future changes, the construction industry should plan metaverse technology development using VR devices.

With the advancement in modern information technology, virtual reality (VR) is being increasingly used for the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of mental disorders. Recently, a VR-based cognitive behavioral therapy for social phobia has been recognized as a new medical technology in South Korea. This might lead to an increase in the use of VR in the field of psychiatry. The present review provides an overview of the status of VR therapies in various psychiatric conditions such as anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, addiction, and eating disorder. Besides, it summarizes the role of VR therapy in the management of disorders associated with child and adolescence psychiatry as well as various other clinical applications. Additionally, we discuss the merits and limitations of VR therapy, which might serve as a useful reference for researchers. In the current environment wherein novel medical models consisting of a combination of digital devices and medicine are being developed; understanding new technologies such as VR could open new doors to mental health treatments.

To augment emotion and immersion in virtual reality (VR), technological research based on scent displays have increased in recent years. The results of extensive studies have enabled the development of methods to interface head mounted displays (HMDs) with scent devices, and the possibility of VR applications of this development was identified via several demonstrations in actual VR environments. Despite all these efforts, more practical methods and conditions for scent display in VR environments are yet to be developed. To efficiently interface VR and scent, this study proposes three ways to set the position for scent display and scent conditions. The first is scent display using local positioning in the VR engine, the second is scent display using the relative distance and orientation between user and object in VR environments, and the third is scent display using time setting. In this study, we developed scent devices using a piezo actuator to validate the proposed method and successfully conducted demonstrations and experiments.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of health interventions using virtual reality (VR) on improving knowledge, attitudes, and skills; and inducing behavioral change among adolescents. Methods: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. We searched Cochrane, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Korean databases between database inception and April 10, 2021. Based on heterogeneity, a random- or fixed-effects model was used, as appropriate, to calculate effect sizes in terms of the standardized mean difference (SMD) and odds ratio (OR). Studies were selected if they verified the effects of health education using VR on adolescents; there was an appropriate control group; and if the effects of education were reported in terms of changes in knowledge, attitudes, skills, or behaviors. Results: This analysis included six studies (n = 1,086). The intervention groups showed greater responses in knowledge and attitudes (SMD = 0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.12 to 1.02]), skills related to health behavior (SMD = - 0.45, 95% CI [- 0.71 to - 0.19]), and behavioral change after 12 months (OR = 2.36, 95% CI [1.03 to 5.41]). Conclusion: The results confirm the effectiveness of health interventions using virtual reality (VR). Although the analysis include a small number of studies, a case can be made for health interventions using VR to be utilized as educational methods and strategies to prevent risky behaviors among adolescents.

This study developed education contents of measuring spatial dose with virtual reality simulation and applied to students majoring radiological science. The virtual reality(VR) contents with measuring spatial dose rate in the radiation controlled area was developed based on the simulation from pilot study. In this simulation, the tube voltage and tube current can be set from 60 to 120 kVp in 10 kVp steps and 10 to 40 mAs in 10 mAs increments, and the distance from source can be set from 30 to 400 cm continuously. Iron and lead shields can be placed between the source and the detector, and shielding thickness can be set by 1 mm increments ranging from 1 to 20 mm. We surveyed to students for evaluating improvement of understanding spatial dose rate between before and after education by VR simulation. The survey was conducted with 5 questions(X-ray exposure factors, effects by distance from the source, effects from using shield, depending on material and thickness of shield, concept and measuring of spatial dose rate) and all answers showed significant improvement. Therefore, this VR simulation content will be well used in education for spatial dose rate and radiation safety environments.

With the development of media technology, virtual reality (VR) technology is widely used in education, medical care, aerospace, entertainment and other fields. Among them, application in teaching courseware is a relatively new topic. Compared with traditional coursewares, virtual games visualized and extruded abstract teaching contents. Thus it strengthened teaching effects and expanded dimensions of learning. We hypothesized that virtual coursewares could increase users'sense of presence and enhance their focus. In this study, virtual courseswares were compared with traditional coursewares. At the same time, its feasibility and advantages of application were analyzed through literature researching, practical researching and statistical analysis from questionnaires. Furthermore, we designed a teaching system for VR coursewares and explored its performance in multidimensional and contextual teaching situations. It was found that Virtual coursewares have changed the boring traditional teaching methods. The teaching content was displayed in the form of three-dimensional images, videos and sounds through VR equipment, which effectively improved teaching efficiency. In addition, the feasibility of virtual courseware was demonstrated through factor analysis in questionnaires. Compared with traditional teaching courseware, VR coursewares can attract students' attention and improve learning efficiency. It provides a good example and is valuable for the research of virtual realities in education.

최근 VR(Virtual Reality) 게임 장르가 점점 더 대중화되고, 시장에서는 자체적인 독립 게임 장르로 자리 매김하고 있습니다. VR의 주요 장점은 플레이어와 가상세계 간의 장벽을 낮추어 몰입 형 경험을 제공한다는 것이다. 제안방법은 플레이어가 VR의 고유한 특성을 사용하여 시각적으로 몰입하고, 새로운 가상세계를 경험할 수 있는 게임을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 제안게임의 특징은 캐릭터가 제한된 범위의 시야만을 제공한다는 것이다. 이를 위해 윤곽선(Outline)을 이용하며, 이는 실루엣 윤곽선을 사용하여 만들게 된다. 이러한 제한적인 시야를 VR에 접목하고, 이를 통해 플레이어는 매우 몰입적인 방식으로 가상세계를 경험하게 된다. 또한 파티클 시스템과 함께 실루엣 윤곽을 만들기 위해 오큘러스 리프트(Oculus Rift)와 유니티(Unity 3D) 게임 엔진을 기본으로 하여 개발한다. 또한 객체 사이의 경계선 제거에 대해 자세히 설명을 하며 게임 개발 과정에 대해 소개한다.
