Virtual reality is actively used in the medical field as a learning effectiveness that induces immersion, but research on the factors that induce learning immersion is insufficient. Therefore, this study extracted the usability and cognitive affordance evaluation elements of the interface through literature research and selected four types of virtual reality medical contents to conduct a Useability-Test for experts. Based on this, an interface design method according to virtual reality medical technology content was proposed. In summary, it can be seen that the information-providing interface affects immersion due to visibility, distance from the experience's gaze, color harmony, uniform visualization, feedback, reaction speed, and expected changes resulting from manipulation, and does not impair immersion. This study has limitations in generalization using limited content, so it is expected that continuous research will discuss the development of standardized guides in interface design and the precision of interface design research from a user perspective.

현대 영상산업에서 컴퓨터 그래픽스가 차지하는 비중은 크게 늘어나고 있다. 컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술의 발달로 인한 디지털 영화나 애니메이션이 점차 증가함에 따라 이러한 장면이 등장하는 가상캐릭터를 쉽게 접할 수 있다. 이런 가상 캐릭터를 이용하여 가상 해저 환경을 생성하기 위해서는 3D 모델링 및 애니메이션 기술을 개발해야 한다. 국내에서는 가상 해저 환경을 구축하여 실감 체험을 할 수 있는 VR 콘텐츠 기술 개발에 관련하여 군중 장면 처리 및 군중 행동 시스템의 설계 및 구현 등의 연구가 있었으나 군중 행동 모델러 기술 개발을 실용화 할 단계까지는 미치지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상 해저환경에 존재하는 다수의 캐릭터의 움직임을 수작업으로 제공하는 것이 시간과 비용이 많이 소요되기 때문에 이를 자동화하여 보다 사실적이고 효율적인 가상 해저환경 속에서 군중 행동 장면을 생성하기 위해서 Fish 군중 행동 모델러 기술을 개발한다.

뷰포트 예측은 360° VR(Virtual Reality) 영상 전송에서 사용자의 안정적인 콘텐츠 몰입을 위해 고안된 기법이다. 하지만 뷰포트 예측 모델의 정확도는 예측에 활용되는 데이터 또는 네트워크 상황에 따라 변동될 수 있다. 특히 사용자의 움직임은 뷰포트 예측 성능에 직접적인 영향을 주기 때문에 사용자의 움직임에 대한 정밀한 분석이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 뷰포트 적응적 전송의 효율적인 개선을 위하여 HMD(Head-Mounted Display)의 속도가 뷰포트 예측에 미치는 영향을 분석한다.

다중 객체 추적 기술은 스포츠, 문화 예술 공연, VR 등 여러 방송 콘텐츠에서 자주 사용되고 있다. 방송 영상 안에 등장하는 여러 객체들은 객체간 상호작용에 의해 가려짐, 사라짐 (Occlusion) 등의 현상이 빈번하게 발생하고, 이 경우 기존에 추적되어온 객체들의 ID 가 소실되거나 교환되는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서 더 강인한 다중 객체 추적을 위해, 주 개체 뿐만 아니라 주 개체에 종속되는 하위 개체 또한 함께 추적하는 개체-쌍-추적 기법을 제안한다. 한 쌍으로 묶인 주 개체와 종속 개체의 추적 정보와 매칭 정보는 상호보완적으로 사용되어, 소실 및 교환된 ID 도 복원할 수 있는 가능성을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 재인지 성능 향상을 위한 개체 쌍 추적 기법을 기술하였고, 성능 평가를 통해 제안 방법이 재인지 성능 향상에 기여할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

최근 COVID-19의 확산에 따라 비대면 학습의 중요성이 화두로 오르고 있다. 과학관과 같은 다중이용시설을 이용하는 방법에서 각 학교, 또는 가정에서 지도할 수 있는 교육 방법의 변화 또한 논의해야 할 때이다. 특히 천문학 교육의 장으로 활용되고 있는 천체투영관(Planetarium)은 다중이용시설로, 상황에 따라 여러 가지 제약을 가지므로 시·공간 제약을 받지 않는 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 천체시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 활용한 스크립트 제작 및 360° VR 영상 제작기술을 개발하고 온라인 플랫폼을 활용하여 천체투영관을 방문하지 않은 비대면 환경에서 도 참가자개인의 휴대기기등을 통한 몰입도 높은 천문학 교육을 구현할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하여 새로운 환경에 대한 적용 기회를 제공하고자 한다. 나아가 개발한 프로그램을 천체투영관에 적용하여 천체투영관 활용 천문학 교육프로그램과 교육과정과 연계한 교육콘텐츠 개발에 활용되기를 기대한다.

Due to the recent developments of attaining 3D contents by using devices such as 3D scanners, the diversity of the contents being used in AR(Augmented Reality)/VR(Virutal Reality) fields is significantly increasing. There are several ways to represent 3D data, and using point clouds is one of them. A point cloud is a cluster of points, having the advantage of being able to attain actual 3D data with high precision. However, in order to express 3D contents, much more data is required compared to that of 2D images. The size of data needed to represent dynamic 3D point cloud objects that consists of multiple frames is especially big, and that is why an efficient compression technology for this kind of data must be developed. In this paper, a motion estimation and compensation method for dynamic point cloud objects using 3D DCT is proposed. This will lead to switching the 3D video frames into I frames and P frames, which ensures higher compression ratio. Then, we confirm the compression efficiency of the proposed technology by comparing it with the anchor technology, an Intra-frame based compression method, and 2D-DCT based V-PCC.

In this paper, we present the web3D-based virtual reality(VR) system for the safety education of the hydrogen station. Currently, hydrogen is considered the next generation energy, and hydrogen station is a part of core infrastructure in hydrogen industry. However, the experience of safety equipment in the hydrogen station is limited to the non-experts, because it is a restricted area in general industry. Therefore, using the event driven method, we develop the VR system to transfer the information of hydrogen station to the non-experts. Using our system, user experiences the safety concerns in the hydrogen station, and also learn the informations of hydrogen energy.

The expansion of the performing arts market to include new genres of art that combine art and cutting-edge media technology has surpassed the limitations of traditional theatre art elements such as stage, costumes, lighting, sound, and props, allowing free expression of space-time and visual art. It is growing into a wide area with unlimited potential in the performing arts sector. In response to these changes and the demands of the time, there is an increasing demand for multi-talents who can plan and produce arts and technology-converged contents that will contribute to the development of the performing arts industry. As a result, university departments related to theatre art across the country feel that it is urgent to develop curricula that will enhance students' competency by incorporating the latest media technologies such as virtual reality, holography, and interactive motion sensors into the existing performance art visualization process. In this study, the author will examine the process of developing courses in technology-incorporated theatre art (design) through case studies of media technology-converged performances from the past 10 years. Based on the traditional concept of theatre art, the attempt to fuse stage art with media technology will be a cornerstone of attempts to foster a group of talented artists who transcend the limits of creative visual expression and creative value.

The purpose of this study is to propose the features of autonomous DRT UX design based on level 5 autonomous vehicle applicable in 2027. As the scope of the study, the system focused on the interaction between the elderly and the in/outside of the vehicle, and the level 5 autonomous vehicle was the subject of the study. As of 2021, the targets for application were set from 60s to 90s. This study is different from previous studies in that it is a study on the features of autonomous DRT UX design that derives practical insights through direct communication with the elderly. As a research method, autonomous vehicle and DRT were theoretically considered through literature research, and based on this, cases of autonomous vehicle and DRT were analyzed. As a case study, generalization was conducted through interviews with the elderly, test-drive of autonomous vehicle, video production, survey, and VR test-drive of autonomous vehicle for the elderly. Ten features of autonomous DRT UX design were derived through focus group interview(FGI), and the derived features were classified into reservation, get on, input, driving, emergency, and get off. Through this study, I hope that it will contribute to improving mobility of the elderly and further accelerate the practical use of autonomous DRT.
