The purpose of this study was to identify the intention to use of virtual reality-based cognitive training system for the elderly residing in community based on extended technology acceptance model. The data were collected 100 elderly residing in community from January 2 to January 31, 2020. As a result, the influence the intent to use a virtual reality-based cognitive training system for the elderly is social influence, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, age. The explaining 54.4% of the variance, it is considered that technology development these factors will be necessary for elderly in the community to promote the intent to use of virtual reality-based cognitive training systems. This study is meaningful in that it has identified the degree of intent to use and influencing factors of virtual reality devices for the elderly in the community. This study could be used as basic data for the development of technologies for virtual reality-based cognitive training systems in the future.

De-manufacturing is an entire process of collecting, disassembling, reusing, refurbishing, recycling, and/or disposing products that are obsolete or un-repairable. Designing the products for inexpensive and efficient disassembly enhances the ease of de-manufacturing. Virtual disassembly addresses the difficulty and the methods to disassemble a product in design stage rather than really disassemble a product at the end of its life cycle. Based on the virtual disassembly analysis results, design will be improved for better assembling/disassembling. This paper presents a systematic virtual disassembly methodology such as disassembly relation modeling, path/sequence automatic generation and evaluation. This paper also presents a new virtual disassembly interface paradigm via virtual reality technology for disassembly simulation in virtual environment.

Augmented reality/virtual reality(AR/VR) technology has a very long research history, beginning in the 1860s. As of the CES of 2016, the expectations regarding the commercialization of AR/VR technology have increased, incurring the interest of many people. AR/VR technologies will be established as a part of our everyday life, such as smartphones, by combining the breakthrough developments of displays, semiconductors, sensors, and various content development technologies. However, until recently, the results of innovative technological developments and market growth had not been reported. In this article, we analyze these trends by focusing on display technologies, and discuss future directions.

Numerous wearable technology companies have recently developed several headmounted display (HMD) products for virtual reality (VR) services. 5G wireless networks aim at providing high-quality 3D multimedia services such as VR, augmented reality, and mixed reality. In this study, we examine the application of millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology to realize low-latency wireless communication between an HMD and its content server. However, the propagation characteristics of mmWave present several challenges such as the deafness, blockage, and beam alignment problems, and interference among content servers. In this study, we focus on an environment that provides VR services in the mmWave band and introduce existing techniques for addressing such challenges. In addition, we employ a commercialized IEEE 802.11ad VR dongle to measure the actual data rate of an mmWave VR application and identify the degree to which the performance deteriorates when the above problems occur. Finally, we verify the feasibility of the proposed solutions through a simulation of several VR scenarios in the mmWave band.

In this paper we propose ubiquitous virtual reality framework and its application for fostering a sustainable content ecosystem in the convergence space of virtual reality and real space. The ubiquitous virtual reality framework supports fundamental infrastructure which consists of platforms for end-users and service providers and dual space management. The platform for the service provider allows experts to generate contents related to real objects while the platform for the end-users allows to consume, share and regenerate the contents contextually augmented over real objects. The dual space management stores, visualizes and provides the contents generated and extended by them for connecting different users and service providers. The proposed framework allows users to continuously generate, share and extend the contents and thus contribute to making multimedia service environment. We also implemented and evaluated the framework consisting of a desktop authoring platform, mobile authoring platform and a dual space management server. We then introduced a promising application scenario to show how the content ecosystem is empowered by ubiquitous virtual reality framework and is realized in our life. Consequently, we are expecting that the ubiquitous virtual reality technology will play a vital role in building continuously evolving multimedia service environment for the future computing environment.

Building construction education requires training and experience. While there have been many means of education, virtual reality (VR) can be applied as a complement for building construction education. Considering the characteristics of building construction education, interactive content based on VR technology is expected to raise the effectiveness of traditional education. This research conducted a survey to examine the applicability of VR technology to building construction education and provided basic information by prioritizing work types for educational content.

가상환경에서의 실재감을 증대시키는 방법 중에 하나는 상호작용을 이용하는 방법이다. 즉, 사용자가 가상환경에 변화를 줄 수 있게 하여, 사용자와 가상환경 사이의 결속감을 통해, 사용자가 가상환경 속에 있는 듯한 느낌을 주는 것이다. 그러나, Architectural Walkthrough 혹은 Navigation 시스템은 기능적으로 가상객체와에 affordance 와 그 밖의 interactivity cue를 적용하여 사용자로 하여금 시각적으로만 상호작용감을 유발하게 하여, 사용자의 실재감을 높이기 위한 방법에 대한 것이다. 두 개의 가상환경에 대하여 아무런 visual cue가 없는 경우, 텍스트를 이용한 직접 표현 방법, 객체가 simulation 된 trace 그리고 affordance cue 등 총 4가지 방법들, 즉 총 8가지 실험 조합에서 사용자가 느끼는 상호작용성과 실재감을 측정하였는데 interactivity유도를 위한 간접적인 visual cue가 쓰였을 경우 통계적으로 유의하게 상호작용성 및 실재감이 증대하는 결과를 보여주었다. 이는 적은 모델링만의 노력으로, 실제 인터액션에 대한 구현 없이 가상환경에서 어느 정도의 실재감을 높일 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 있다.

A virtual reality technology for multipurpose numerical simulation is developed to reproduce and investigate a variety of ocean environmental problems in a 3D-Numerical Wave Tank. The governing equations for solving incompressible fluid motion are Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation, and the Marker-Density function technique is adopted to implement the fully-nonlinear free-surface kinematic condition. The marine environmental situations, i.e. waves, currents, wind, etc., are reproduced by use of multi-segmented wavemaker on the basis of the so-called "snake-principle". In this paper, some numerical reproduction techniques for regular and irregular waves, multi-directional waves, Bull's-eye wave, wave-current, and solitary wave are presented, and a model test in motion with large amplitude of roll angle is conducted in the developed 3D-NWT, using a overlaid grid system.

This paper compares VR cinema with interactive cinema from an interactive perspective to examine cinemas as a new medium. Rather than revealing the difference through this, the focus is on presenting a methodology that understands the cinema in a new environment that is now standing at the starting point. The development of video technology is changing not only the external elements of content but also the internal storytelling method, but the lack of killer content has always been pointed out as a problem compared to the remarkable development of technology. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the characteristics and types of interactions represented by VR (virtual reality) and new media represented by interactive media and to present directions. Therefore, the types and characteristics of interactions were compared with VR film produced in line with the new phenomenon and interactive film . Through this, we would like to present the meaning and value of the new film format from a media perspective.
