Hair styling has a significant influence on human social perception. An increasing number of people are learning hair styling and obtaining hair designer licenses. However, it takes a considerable amount of money and time to learn professional hairstyle and beauty techniques for hair styling. Since COVID-19, there has been a growing need for offline and video lectures due to the decline in onsite training opportunities. This study provides a field practice environment in which real hair beauty is performed in a virtual space. Further, the hairstyle that is most similar to the user's hair taken with a webcam or mobile phone is determined through an image matching system using the speeded up robust features (SURF) method. The matching hairstyle was created into a three-dimensional (3D) hair model. The created 3D hair model uses a head-mounted display (HMD) and a controller that enables finger tracking through mapping to reproduce the haircutting scissors' motion while providing a feeling of real hair beauty.

가상현실의 자연스러운 응용분야는 작업 훈련(Task Training) 분야이다. 이러한 작업 훈련 분야에서 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나는 각성 수준(Arousal Level)으로, 적절한 각성 수준은 과제 훈련의 효과를 결정짓는다. 본 연구는 VR 환경과 Desktop 환경의 자동차 운전 시뮬레이터에서 피험자가 실험을 위하여 설계된 2 개의 시나리오를 수행하는 동안 피험자의 생리 신호를 측정하고, 실험 후 각 환경에 대한 주관적인 실재감을 측정하여, 두 실험 환경 사이에 피험자의 주관적인 실재감이 유의한 차이가 있는지 알아보고, 피험자가 수행한 시나리오와 시나리오에 종속된 실험 태스크에 대하여, 각성 수준을 평가할 때 유용한 지표로 활용되는 피부전도도(GSR) 반응이 피험자의 주관적인 실재감의 결과와 어떠한 관계를 보이는지 살펴 보았다. 실험 결과 두 실험 환경 사이의 피험자의 주관적인 실재감은 유의한 차이가 있었고, VR 환경에서 더 높게 나왔다. 그러나 두 실험 환경 사이의 피험자의 생리적 각성 반응은 실재감의 결과처럼 유의한 차이를 보여주지 못했으며, 오히려 시나리오에 종속된 실험 태스크에 따라서 유의한 차이를 보여주었다. 따라서 실재감과 피부전도도 (GSR)측정에 의한 각성도 는 직접적인 관계가 적은 것으로 생각되며, 이는 피부전도도(GSR)를 실재감의 한 척도로 쓰기에는 적합하지 않을 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

Musculoskeletal disorders show symptoms of pain and dysfunction caused by accumulation of minute damage on nerves and blood vessels which are related to specific body parts. This is more likely to occur in the elderly. In Korea, 40.3% of the agricultural population is over 65 years old. In these cases, the portion of musculoskeletal disorders is more than 80% in acute/chronic diseases related to agricultural work. Therefore, measures for physical health care and safety prevention of elderly farmers are needed. In this study, we intend to propose a method to measure musculoskeletal health condition through the motion recognition device and VR contents. For this, we analyze the agricultural work causing musculoskeletal disorders of farmers, and suggest a motion analysis algorithm that can measure the health condition of the musculoskeletal system. In addition, we are going to propose a training method customized for farmers on the basis of VR contents in order to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.

Background: Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in the sports population or during usual daily life activities. The sprain can cause functional ankle instability (FAI), and it is very important to treat FAI. However, the optimum intervention method for FAI has yet to be determined. Objects: This study investigated the impact that virtual reality (VR) training program on balance with ankle kinesio taping for FAI. Methods: Twenty-two people were selected for the study and randomly divided into the experimental (n = 11) and the control group (n = 11). The experimental group had attached kinesio taping on the ankle and then implemented a virtual reality exercise program for 30 minutes a day. Nintendo Wii Fit Plus was used for the VR intervention three times a week for four weeks. The control group performed only two measurements without intervention. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in overall, anterior-posterior (AP), medial-lateral (ML) index of the static balance, and significant differences in overall, AP, ML index of the dynamic balance when taping and VR exercise were applied at the same time (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in overall and ML index of static and dynamic balance compared with before and after assessment between the experimental and the control group, and found differences in AP index of static and dynamic balance (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Kinesio taping may not influence the balance of FAI as great as people expected. VR approach does not affect the static balance of FAI, but it influences dynamic balance in overall, AP, ML index. The authors suggest that VR-based exercises can be used as an additional concept in clinicians for FAI or as part of a home program because the exercises still have limitations.

It is most desirable to build a crane training program in the same evvironment as the actual port, but it has problem such as time constraint and cost. To overcome these limitations, next-generation training programs based on AR/VR are receiving a lot of attention. In this paper, a prototype of a harbor crane training system based on virtual reality was designed and implemented. The system implemented in this paper consists of two elements: an Arduino-based IoT terminal and an HMD equipped with a Unity application program. The IoT terminal consists of 2 controllers, 2 toggle switches, and 8 button switches to process data generated according to the user's operation. The HMD uses Oculus Quest2 and is connected to the IoT terminal through wireless communication to provide user convenience. The training system implemented in this paper is expected to provide trainees with a training environment independent of time and place through virtual reality and to save time and money.

A conventional Design for Safety (DfS), introduced to eliminate potential hazards in the design phase proactively, has encountered persistent challenges, such as perfunctory risk assessments and hazard identifications based on 2D drawings and inefficient workflow processes. This study proposes a BIM-based approach to Design for Safety (DfS) to address the limitations of conventional methods, aiming to enhance efficiency and achieve practical safety management benefits. The proposed workflow process for BIM-based DfS has been refined and validated for on-site applicability through various case studies, including risk assessments during the design phase and field applications for safety management activities during the construction phase. Specifically, the critical process of risk assessment within the DfS methodology has also been transitioned to a BIM-based approach. This BIM-based risk assessment process has been evaluated through case studies, encompassing safety reviews for structural design, construction equipment operation, and construction methodology with sequence in design projects. Additionally, the proposed BIM-based DfS has demonstrated exceptional on-site applicability and efficiency, as validated by the application of a BIM deliverable embedded in DfS information for CDE-based daily activity briefing, VR-based safety training, AR-based mitigation measures inspections, and other safety management activities in the construction phase.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a virtual reality-based exercise program on the functional recovery of balance and gait in chronic stroke subjects. Methods: A total of 42 chronic stroke patients were enrolled in this study. The participants were allocated randomly to 2 groups: a VR (n=22) and control group (n=20). Both groups received treadmill training for 3 sessions (10 minutes each), 30 minutes per week over a 6 week period. The VR group practiced additional virtual reality programs consisting of 3 programs for 10 minutes each. The data was analyzed using a paired t-test and independent t-test to determine the statistical significance. Results: The virtual reality-based exercise group showed significant increases in gait velocity, cadence and stride length compared to the control group (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in static balance. Conclusion: These results support the perceived benefits of exercise programs that incorporate virtual reality to augment the balance and ambulation of stroke patients. Therefore, virtual reality is feasible and suitable for stroke patients

The reverberation effect on the sound when producing movies or VR contents is a very important factor in the realism and liveliness. The reverberation time depending the space is recommended in a standard called RT60(Reverberation Time 60 dB). In this paper, we propose a scene recognition technique for automatic reverberation editing. To this end, we devised a classification model that independently trains color images and predicted depth images in the same model. Indoor scene classification is limited only by training color information because of the similarity of internal structure. Deep learning based depth information extraction technology is used to use spatial depth information. Based on RT60, 10 scene classes were constructed and model training and evaluation were conducted. Finally, the proposed SCR + DNet (Scene Classification for Reverb + Depth Net) classifier achieves higher performance than conventional CNN classifiers with 92.4% accuracy.
