본 연구는 육군 교육훈련 효과를 향상시키기 위해 실장비, 가상현실, 동영상을 이용한 교육효과를 비교하여 어떤 방식의 교육이 우수한지를 검증하는데 있다. 육군은 실전적 훈련환경을 구현하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울였지만 1) 도시화에 따른 훈련장 부지확보의 제한, 2) 민원제기에 따른 대민갈등 심화, 3) 국방예산 확보에 어려움으로 인해 실전적 훈련환경을 제공하는 것은 점차 어려워지고 있다. 가상현실을 활용하면 실제 전장을 간접적으로 체험하고 비용을 절감할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 특히, 위험하거나 고가의 무기체계의 경우에는 가상현실을 적용한 훈련이 더욱 요구된다. 본 논문은 가상현실이 실제 무기체계에 비해 얼마나 효과적인지 연구한다. 연구결과, 가상현실 교육은 실장비 교육보다 효과가 다소 낮지만 동영상 교육보다는 효과가 높았다. 앞으로 이번 연구결과를 바탕으로 가상현실 기반의 교육효과 분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것이다.

The usage of virtual reality (VR) in healthcare field has been gaining attention lately. The main use cases revolve around medical imaging and clinical skill training. Healthcare professionals have found great benefits in these cases when done in VR. While medical imaging on the desktop has lots of available software with various tools, VR versions are mostly stripped-down with only basic tools. One of the many tool groups significantly missing is annotation. In this paper, we survey the current situation of medical imaging software both on the desktop and in the VR environment. We will discuss general information on medical imaging and provide examples of both desktop and VR applications. We will also discuss the current status of annotation in VR, the problems that need to be overcome and possible solutions for them. The findings of this paper should help developers of future medical image annotation tools in choosing which problem they want to tackle and possible methods. The findings will be used to help in our future work of developing annotation tools.

A construction site is a highly complex and constantly changing environment, where hazardous areas are difficult to detect if workers lack sufficient knowledge and awareness. Thus, frequent worker safety training is required. Numerous studies on using virtual reality (VR) for safety training were published. While they demonstrate the potential for improving the skills necessary to avoid accidents in the construction industry, they remain difficult to apply at actual construction sites. VR requires specialized hardware and software, limiting workers' access and restricting workers' participation in training sessions. As a result, this paper proposes multiple platforms for immersive virtual reality safety training (VRMP) based on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and web technologies such as immersive web (WebXR). The VRMP is compatible with mobile and desktop devices currently by workers and demonstrates scenario models familiar to workers. Also, it reduces development time by utilizing Building Information Models (BIM). Additionally, The VRMP collects data from workers in a virtual environment to assess each worker's safety level, assisting workers in effectively and comfortably gaining a better understanding and raising their awareness. This paper develops a case study based on the VRPM in order to assess its effectiveness.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) programs based on motion capture camera are the most convenient and cost-effective approaches for remote rehabilitation. Assessment of physical function is critical for providing optimal VR rehabilitation training; however, direct muscle strength measurement using camera-based kinematic data is impracticable. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method to indirectly estimate the muscle strength of users from the value obtained using a motion capture camera. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the pedaling speed converted using the VR engine from the captured foot position data in the VR environment can be used as an indirect way to evaluate knee muscle strength, and to investigate the validity and reliability of a camera-based VR program. Methods: Thirty healthy adults were included in this study. Each subject performed a 15-second maximum pedaling test in the VR and built-in speedometer modes. In the VR speedometer mode, a motion capture camera was used to detect the position of the ankle joints and automatically calculate the pedaling speed. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to assess the isometric and isokinetic peak torques of knee flexion and extension. Results: The pedaling speeds in VR and built-in speedometer modes revealed a significantly high positive correlation (r = 0.922). In addition, the intra-rater reliability of the pedaling speed in the VR speedometer mode was good (ICC [intraclass correlation coefficient] = 0.685). The results of the Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant moderate positive correlation between the pedaling speed of the VR speedometer and the peak torque of knee isokinetic flexion (r = 0.639) and extension (r = 0.598). Conclusion: This study suggests the potential benefits of measuring the maximum pedaling speed using 3D depth camera in a VR environment as an indirect assessment of muscle strength. However, technological improvements must be followed to obtain more accurate estimation of muscle strength from the VR cycling test.

최근, 가상현실(VR) 기술을 이용하여 다양한 산업 분야의 훈련 시스템을 제작하여 교육에 널리 활용하고 있다. 가상현실 기반 훈련 시스템은 안전할 뿐만 아니라 재료의 낭비도 없고, 언제 어디서든 실습을 해 볼 수가 있어서 여러 가지 장점이 있다. 예를 들면, 가상현실 용접 훈련 시뮬레이션 시스템은 몰입형 환경에서 철판 모재의 접합을 실제와 같이 수행할 수 있어서 현장 작업자 및 신입 교육 훈련에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 이 때 철판 모재 접합을 사실적으로 표현하는 것이 훈련의 효과를 극대화하기 위해 중요하지만 기존의 기술로는 접합의 효과를 자연스럽게 표현하기에는 한계가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 용접 훈련 시스템을 구축하기 위해 접합 효과를 쉐이더 기반으로 표현하는 방법을 경험 DB와 수학적 모델 기반으로 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구 논문의 결과를 용접 훈련 시스템에 적용하면 철판 모재의 접합 가시화를 사용자에게 정밀도 높게 제공하여 용접 훈련 효과를 보다 향상하는데 도움을 줄 수 있겠다.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) is a childhood syndrome characterized by short attention span. impulsiveness, and hyperactivity, which often leadㄴ to learning disabilities and various behavioral problems. For the treatment of ADHD, medication and cognitive-behavior therapy is applied in recent yearn Although psycho-stimulant medication has been widely used for many rears. current findings suggest that, as the sole treatment for ADHD, it is an inadequate form of intervention in that parents don't want their child to use drug and the effects are limited to the period in which the drugs are physiologically active. On the other hand, EEG biofeedback treatment studies for ADHD have reported promising results not only in significant reductions in hyperactive, inattentive, and disruptive behaviors, but also improvements in academic performance and IQ scores. However it is too boring for children to finish the whole treatment. The recent increase in computer usage in medicine and rehabilitation has changed the way health care is delivered. Virtual Reality technology provides specific stimuli that can be used in removing distractions and providing environments that get the subjects'attention and increasing their ability to concentrate. VR technology can hold a patient's attention for a longer period of time than other methods can, because VR is immersive, interactive and imaginal. Based on these aspects, we developed Attention Enhancement System (AES) using VR technology, EEG biofeedback, and cognitive training method for enhancing attention and made a clinical trial to people who have attention difficulty and behavioral problems.
