  • Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify whether virtual reality-based exercise could improve on balance, gait and fall efficacy in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods : Ten patients with Parkinson's disease were randomly divided into either an experimental or control group. The experimental subjects performed vertual reality-based exercise, whereas the control subjects performed conventional physical therapy for 4 weeks. The balance, gait and fall efficacy of all subjects were assessed by using the Measurement Training and Documentation (MTD) balance system, force platform system, Korean version of Berg Balance scale (K-BBS), 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and Korean version of Fall efficacy scale (K-FES) at pre training and post training. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze change before and after intervention in intra-group. Mann Whitney U test was used to analyze changes of all variables in inter-groups. Results : Subjects in the experimental group showed significant improvements in difference of weight distribution, K-BBS scores, antero-posterior and medio-lateral sway length, ground reaction force (GRF), 6MWT, and step length following training. The changes of difference of weight distribution, K-BBS scores, AP Sway Length, GRF, 6MWT, step length and K-FES scores in the experimental group were significantly more than them of the control group. Conclusion : The result of this study suggest that virtual reality-based exercise training is an intervention to improve on balance, gait, and falls efficacy in patients with Parkinson's disease.

  • 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.

  • The virtual reality technology is currently used classifying functional types such as the observation operation type, the experimental activity type, the learning information type, the field problem-solving type, and other different types, based on the media's characteristics implementing 3D form of multi-sensory information. Using Virtual Reality, the restoration of the 'Doksu Palace' has been grafted onto J. Keller's ARCS model, suggesting a field restoration concept that reenacts the lives of the people that had been in the field with the cultural heritage and history based on a scenario based scene direction. This paper also summarizes 3 different types of implementation of the field restoration assorting multi-scene direction. Certain limitations exist, due to the fact that a completed prototype hasn't been suggested and that a detailed notion of the housing and 3D audio connection has been omitted.
