This study compares the educational effect using real equipment, virtual reality, and video to improve the educational and training effect of the army and verifies which method of education is excellent. The Army has made a lot of efforts to realize the actual training environment, however, it is increasingly difficult to provide the actual training environment because of 1) restrictions on securing training sites and urbanization, 2) deepening conflicts with the people, and 3) difficulties in acquiring defense budget. To resolve these issues, the use of virtual reality(VR) has the advantage to experience actual battlefield indirectly and could save budget by training in a virtual battlefield environment. In particular, in the case of dangerous or expensive weapons systems, is further required. Hence this paper studies how effective virtual reality is compared to the actual weapons system. virtual reality(VR) education is less effective than actual equipment education, but it is higher than video education. Based on this research result, it will be used as a basic data for the analysis of educational effects based in virtual reality(VR).

The Republic of Korea Army (ROK Army) is trying to improve the effectiveness of education and training. On the other hand, there are many restrictions in actual training, limiting their practical education and training. Virtual reality technology is being used to overcome these limitations. Virtual reality technology is developing in various types, and the ROK Army needs to introduce a virtual reality training system for cost-effective education. The ROK Army mainly uses high-cost simulator-types that are similar to real equipment. Recently, a low-cost immersive-type virtual reality training system wearing an HMD is also being used. This study analyzed the cost education effectiveness of simulator-type and immersive-type virtual reality training systems in operation at the ROK Army air defense school. First, the research method used AHP to analyze the educational effects. Second, the cost was applied to the production cost of the virtual reality training system to analyze the cost-effectiveness of the education. The immersion-type was 3.4 times higher than the simulator-type in terms of cost effectiveness. These results can be used as basic data for analyzing the cost-effectiveness of a virtual reality training system.

Realistic content such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality is emerging as an innovative technology in the education field in that it allows people to safely and efficiently experience dangerous, expensive or impossible situations, such as disaster training or space travel. Recently, as government agencies have supported a lot for producing virtual augmented reality contents about education, various educational contents using virtual augmented reality technology have been developed through the Edutech industry. Many virtual augmented reality-based educational contents are being developed, but mixed reality-based educational contents are very limited which could be more effective for education. This study examines the basic method of producing mixed reality educational contents using Hololens and, on the basis of this, it proposes the method for producing scientific experiment contents. Hololens made it possible to share information in real time without a regular desktop PC, and it is effective for teachers to manage and evaluate students in real time.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of virtual reality (VR) based anatomy education program on nursing students' learning presence, technology acceptance, learning motivation, and knowledge. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The study participants included 113 nursing students (56 in the experimental group and 57 in the control group) from Ansan City. Data collection was conducted from June 1 through 23. Data were analyzed using χ²-test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test using SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The experimental group had a significant increase in learning presence, technology acceptance, and knowledge before and after the intervention compared to the control group. Conclusion: Virtual reality based anatomy education is an effective learner-centered educational program. From an educational perspective, VR anatomy education programs can improve anatomy knowledge by increasing students' acceptance of VR technology and increase their motivation to learn by increasing their sense of presence.

The purpose of this study was to examine effects of maker education program using the virtual reality content creation platform on the creative problem solving ability and learning flow of elementary school students. To achieve this purpose, we selected a virtual reality content creation platform that elementary school students can handle and share easily, and analyzed its effectiveness by applying the educational program in which the step-by-step activities of the TMSI model were reconstructed in relation to virtual reality content production education among existing maker education teaching and learning models. Through this study confirmed that the maker education program using the virtual reality content creation platform has a positive effect on the improvement of creative problem solving ability and learning flow of elementary school students.

Virtual Reality (VR) is one of the core components of the fourth industrial revolution as a technology that makes the virtual world feel as if it is real. VR is being used in various fields such as entertainment, advertisement, education, medical care, training, sports, and tourism, as well as providing contents for such things as games and videos. Libraries are already looking for ways to utilize VR from various angles, such as operating experiential programs. The purpose of this thesis is to develop and propose a VR-based library user education program. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, we analyzed previous studies from a theoretical perspective to find a way to construct a user education program, and also to derive possible implications based on examples of countries such as the United States and Korea that are already introducing and applying VR technology to library services. Therefore, the user education program proposed in this study can be used as a basic building block when many libraries want to develop VR-based programs in the future.

Virtual reality is a technology for enabling users to interact with a computer generated environment which can be similar to the real world. A multi-channel display is one of the virtual reality platform for creating a high resolution image. In this paper, we develop a multi-channel display system which allows users to immersively understand the 3D educating contents and furthermore, we construct 3D educating contents for describing a semiconductor concept and process.

This paper represent a method of constructing the improved virtual reality systems. The proposed method be able to decrease the difference between reality and virtual reality. For the future, the proposed improved virtual reality systems are applied to advanced education, for example U-Learning is mixed with virtual reality based on Ubiquitous computing that is important highly information technology(IT) at $21^{th}$ knowledge based on informational society. Also, we respect to The Control system which is embedded in mixed reality.

Disaster safety education that can respond when a disaster occurs is very important in Korea, where many human resources are generated due to safety insensitivity. Recently, with the development of virtual reality devices and manufacturing technology, the possibility of using a training system incorporating virtual reality technology in the field of safety education is attracting attention. The virtual training system is very effective for training and education because it has an excellent sense of immersion and allows you to experience various disaster situations without time and space limitations. In this study, cases of disaster safety virtual training contents in Korea are collected and investigated, and the current status of domestic disaster safety virtual training contents is identified and analyzed to identify problems and suggest improvement plans.
