  • Good reviews that Half-Life: Alyx received created a turning point for the vitalization of the VR market with an uncertain future due to the absence of a revenue model together with the increased sales of VR equipment. Based on previous studies, this study categorized the characteristics of VR games according to graphs, first-person system, interface, controller, interaction technology, sound and stories. The analysis results show that the seven elements corresponded with "interactions" and "virtual images," which represent the completion level of games as part of VR components, and were connected to one another, which led to the proposal of an upper-rank concept "presence" to put them together. "Immersiveness," which represents users' emotions as part of VR components, was analyzed with the immersion theory to assign tasks of proper difficulty level for users' abilities. In the research process, the Delphi technique and FGI were administered to a panel of 15 experts to ensure objectivity. Finally, "presence" and "immersiveness" are characteristics in proportion to each other and can be valid concepts in future analysis of VR games as well as Half-Life: Alyx, which led to the proposal a new concept framework called 'presence effects' by combining the two words.

  • An augmented book is an application that augments such multimedia elements as virtual 3D objects generated by computer graphics, movie clips, or sound clips to a real book using AR technologies. It is intended to bring additional education and entertainment effects to users. For augmented books, this paper proposes an adaptive keyframe-based page tracking method to estimate the camera's 6 DOF pose in real-time after recognizing a page and performing wide-baseline keypoint matching. For a page tracking, proposed method in this paper chooses a proper keyframe and performs a tracking in two step of coarse-to-fine stage. As a result, the proposed method in this paper guarantees a robust tracking to view-point and illumination variations and real-time.

  • This study applied SONAR(Sound Navigation And Ranging) to the inspection and evaluation of underwater structures. Anactual river bridge was chosen for inspection and evaluation. SONAR and an optical camera were operated together to analyze the underwater image of the bridge. SONAR images were obtained by various methods to remove the environmental variables from the field experiment, and it was confirmed that the reliability of detecting damaged areas on piers was decreased when using SONAR alone. The SONAR equipment and the optical camera can be used simultaneously to overcome the limitations of SONAR in inspecting underwater structures.These results can be used as basic data for the development of similar technologies for underwater structure inspection.

  • This paper considers the performance of a dynamic priority control function (DPCF) of a threshold-based Bernoulli priority jump (TBPJ) scheme. Loss-sensitive and delay-sensitive traffics are applied to a system with a TBPJ scheme that is a general state-dependent Bernoulli scheduling scheme. Loss-sensitive and delay-sensitive traffics represent sound and data, respectively. Under the TBPJ scheme, the first packet of the loss-sensitive traffic buffer goes into the delay-sensitive traffic buffer with Bernoulli probability p according to system states which represent the buffer thresholds and the number of packets waiting for scheduling. Performance analysis shows that TBPJ scheme obtains large performance build-up for the delay-sensitive traffic without performance degradation for the loss-sensitive traffic. TBPJ scheme shows also better performance than that of HOL scheme.

  • Due to the concept of "full-strength capacity connection," the pushover analysis method became an issue in designing steel connections. It is difficult to apply practically, however, because engineers are unfamiliar with such method. Moreover, there have been insufficient representative studies on them because most of the past pertinent studies were performed based on high-rise and/or virtual structures. As such, for this study, an actual(now in process) steel structure, a medium-low-rise industrial building, was selected. To perform pushover analysis, it was suggested that lateral load patterns be used in a simple and clear manner for three- and two-dimensional analysis models. A new hinge property was also suggested to prevent erroneous connection design results that can occur in the design process. The suggested load patterns showed almost the same results regardless of the model that was used, from which the obtained load patterns were different. This result implies the validity of the suggested load patterns. As for the suggested hinge property, the structural analysis yielded sound and reasonable results, which confirmed the validity of the proposed hinge property.

  • CALS/EC is about doing business electronically. It is based on the electronic processing and transmission of data, including text, sound and video. It encompasses many diverse activities including electronic trading of goods and services, online delivery of digital content, electronic fund transfers, electronic share trading, electronic bills of lading, commercial auctions, collaborative design and engineering, online sourcing, public procuremet, direct consumer marketing, and after-sales service. It involves both products(e.g. consumer goods, specialised medical equipment) and services(e.g. information services, financial and legal services); traditional activities(e.g. healthcare, education) and new activities (e.g. virtual malls). CALS/EC will be emerging to replace and substitute the role of the conventional market. By changing and eliminating some processes of the transactions, the electronic market and the electronic commerce will redistribute the power and hence the benefits of the market activities. Traditional way of doing business may enter into the new electronic market because the role and function of trust and established reputation will be reinforced in the electronic market. The CALS/EC through the Internet has been in the spotlight in the shopping behavior of the consumers. Accordingly Corporates are trying to adapt themselves to those rapidly changing environments being affected by the Internet. Among others, particularly to be noted is the CALS/EC between corporations and consumers whose potential growth can be considered very substantial. This report, focusing on the introduction of CALS/EC for the logistics of SMEs, will allow us to prepare more efficiently for the coming 21st Century. It is obvious that CALS/EC is fast becoming the useful way of exchanging not only information but products in business between firm-to-firm and firm-to-customer.

  • Recently, the quantity of using information go on increasing geometric-progression. At the same time, the management of information is effected on the most organization's effective operation so that many user call for the powerful equipment which expound. access more information. As information searching technology is concentrated about the object of information based on a letter mainly, an effective searching technology for the object of multimedia such as a still image, a video and a sound must be studied. As a monitor of computer is 2-D, it difficult for one to grasp the whole aspect at a look glance like a library. Accordingly, some condition is necessary. First, it acquired the virtual video, turning a camera around by 30 degrees with a camera of 15mm lens, giving a warping and distortion. Second, it improved the books for user to search easily, adding to the video in existing books information system. The original text suggests some way which can embody the video searching technology under the base of personal computer.

  • This paper proposes a method for detecting faults in conveyor systems used for transportation of raw materials needed in the thermal power plant and cement industries. A small drone was designed in consideration of the difficulty in accessing the industrial site and the need to use it in wide industrial site. In order to apply the system to the embedded microprocessor, hardware and algorithms considering limited memory and execution time have been proposed. At this time, the failure determination method measures the peak frequency through the measurement, detects the continuity of the high frequency, and performs the failure diagnosis with the high frequency components of noise. The proposed system consists of experimental environment based on the data obtained from the actual thermal power plant, and it is confirmed that the proposed system is useful by conducting virtual environment experiments with the drone designed system. In the future, further research is needed to improve the drone's flight stability and to improve discrimination performance by using more intelligent methods of fault frequency.

  • In this paper, we implement an Android application for infant language education using marker-based augmented reality. Combining animal word markers (noun), size/color word markers (adjective), and action word markers (verb) in puzzle form to make a simple sentence, the application shows virtual contents related to the content of the sentence. For example, when an animal marker is showed up on a camera, the corresponding animal appears. Additionally, when the motion markers are combined, the animal's appearance changes into an animation in which it acts. When a user touched a marker, user can hear the sound of the word, which gives an auditory effect, and by adding the rotation function, user can see the animation in any direction. Our goal is to increase infants' interest in learning language and also increase the effectiveness of education on the meaning of words and the structure of simple sentences, by encouraging them to actively participate in language learning through visual and auditory stimuli.
