The paper deals with the design and implementation of Navigational Aids Training Simulator (VR-NATS) by Virtual Reality (VR). To gave interaction and immersible training situation to the user, prototype VR-NATS was developed based on the object-oriented operating system with 3D objects of navigational aids. Using the VR-NATS we created virtual navigational aids. As results from the assessment tests, students can obtain IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) rules of the navigational aids exactly and quickly comparing with conventional education methods. Thus, we found that he proposed VR-NAT is very effective for the next-generation simulation system.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to apply exercise learning effect to various subjects through training effect and information accumulation based on verification of the effect on dumbbell curl exercises applied with virtual reality. Method: To analyze the effect on the dumbbell curl exercise in the virtual environment, a total of 20 persons with 10 males and 10 females who does not have orthopedics diseases were selected. The dumbbell weight of the subjects was set to a weight of 70% strength of 1RM. At this time, the virtual environment situation was set to four types; presence/absence of virtual environment, preferred colors, and unfavorable colors to perform dumbbell curl exercise. The anaysis of muscle activity was conducted by adhering four surface electrodes (Biceps Brachii, Triceps Brachii, Brachioradialis Muscle, Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Muscle) on the right upper limbs. Independent sample t-test using SPSS (24.0) program was carried out to analyze average values and standard deviations for each variable depending on the presence/absence of virtual environments and changes in color (preferred colors, unfavorable colors) and the level of significance was set to a=.05. Results: In the eccentric contraction, males showed high muscle activity in the Biceps Brachii under virtual reality. On the other hand, females had high muscle activity in the Biceps Brachii in the absence of virtual reality. Also, in case of a change of colors in the virtual environment, females had the high muscle activity in the unfavorable color in the eccentric contraction. Conclusion: During the dumbbell curl exercise, results of different exercises present depending on gender. When males put VR on and performs a basic dumbbell curl exercise, the effect of Biceps presents Brachii for them while exercising in unfavorable colors. However, since it is the basic research data of muscle exercise using virtual reality, it is necessary to verify whether or not it is effective for myopachynsis through long-term training rather than unity.

시간, 공간, 금전적인 문제 때문에 실습이 쉽지 않은 학문들이 있다. 특히 의료교육은 장소와 시간의 제약이 특히 심하며 cadaver(카드버:인체해부 실습용 시체)를 통해 이루어지기 때문에 어려움이 많다. 그 대안으로 다양한 가상 수술방법이 존재하지만 장비가 고가이거나 구하기 쉽지 않기 때문에 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제점의 해결 방법으로 3D-Virtual Reality(3D가상현실)를 활용하여 실제와 유사한 환경을 제공하고자 한다. 일반적으로 컴퓨터의 Interface(인터페이스)로 키보드와 마우스를 사용하지 않고 Oculus Rift(오큘러스 리프트)와 Leap Motion(립 모션)를 사용함으로써 더욱더 현실감을 느낄 수 있어 실습교육비용을 절감함으로써 실습교육에 대한 효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 두개의 Device(디바이스)인 Oculus Rift(오큘러스 리프트)와 Leap Motion(립 모션)를 이용하여 3D가상 수술 시스템을 구축하고 실습할 수 있는 제안으로 의료교육인 수술교육에 대치하여 효율성을 높이는 방식을 제안하였고, 이는, 다른 Simulation(시뮬레이션)이 활용 가능한 학문분야에 까지 확장할 수 있을 것으로 사려된다.

Background: Occupational workers at altitudes are more prone to falls, leading to catastrophic outcomes. Acrophobia, height-related anxiety, and affected executive functions lead to postural instabilities, causing falls. This study investigated the effects of repeated virtual height exposure and training on cognitive processing and height-related anxiety. Methods: Twenty-eight healthy volunteers (age 20.48 ± 1.26 years; mass 69.52 ± 13.78 kg) were recruited and tested in seven virtual environments (VE) [ground (G), 2-story altitude (A1), 2-story edge (E1), 4-story altitude (A2), 4-story edge (E2), 6-story altitude (A3), and 6-story edge (E3)] over three days. At each VE, participants identified occupational hazards present in the VE and completed an Attitude Towards Heights Questionnaire (ATHQ) and a modified State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Questionnaire (mSTAIQ). The number of hazards identified and the ATHQ and mSTAIQ scores were analyzed using a 7 (VE; G, A1, A2, A3, E1, E2, E3) x 3 (DAY; DAY 1, DAY 2, DAY 3) factorial repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The participants identified the lowest number of hazards at A3 and E3 VEs and on DAY 1 compared to other VEs and DAYs. ATHQ scores were lowest at G, A1, and E1 VEs. Conclusion: Cognitive processing is negatively affected by virtual altitudes, while it improves with short-term training. The features of virtual reality, such as higher involvement, engagement, and reliability, make it a better training tool to be considered in ergonomic settings. The findings of this study will provide insights into cognitive dual-tasking at altitude and its challenges, which will aid in minimizing occupational falls.

Virtual community is a social aggregation to attain some goals in an IT-supported virtual space (Lee et al., 2002). As lots of virtual communities generate robust and reliable outputs with low control and low incentive, previous researchers was interested in the questions, "why do they participate?" or "how are they controlled?". But. as Katz (1964) said, the most important part of the high-performing organization is the behaviors of members in the organization. Therefore, this research is to examine the relationship between the performance and the behaviors of participants in the virtual community. First, we propose 6 types of behaviors related to high performance in the virtual community: 'Continuous Attendance', 'Complying with the organizational value, policies, and regulations', 'Protection', 'Suggestion for the improving', 'Self-training', and 'Favorable behavior'. The six types of behaviors are extracted from the framework of Katz (1964) and Brief and Motowidlo (1986). The reason why each behavior is positively related with high-performance is that those who continuously attend have more responsibility than temporary participants do; complying with the rules of a virtual community means that they may make more reliable outcome; 'Protection' is one of the prosocial-behaviors and those who protect the community may concern the benefit of the virtual community when they participate: those who suggest some ideas for improvement may contribute to the virtual community; 'Self-training' behavior means that participants really want to have high quality in their contribution: those who have 'Favorable attitude' consider other members in the virtual community when they participate. Then, we perform an empirical analysis with the survey from participants in the Knowledge service of Naver.com, to show those behaviors are associated with the high-performance. To make the measurement for the six behaviors, we use CVR (content validity ratio) method (Lawshe, 1975), interviewing 12 experts. The dependent variable, performance of participation, is measured by 'ratio of selected answer' given by the Naver.com. We use email survey. We sent 1200 emails to randomly selected participants in the knowledge service and received 282 responses. The results of our empirical analysis show that 4('Continuous Attendance', 'Suggestion for the improving', 'Self-training', 'Favorable attitude') are positively related to the performance, but 2('Complying with the organizational value, policies, and regulations' and 'Protection') are not significant. In line with Fitzgerald (2006), we expect that participants in the virtual community may behave similarly to employees in the off-line firms for the high performance. But 2 behaviors have different results. The reason that the 'Complying with the organizational value' behavior is not sufficiently related to performance is that the motivation of participants is more related to intrinsic pleasure or altruism than external reward. Also, the 'Protection' behavior has no significant relationship with performance, which means that the high-performing participants have little concern about the problems in the community.

증가하는 기관 손상으로 발생하는 해양사고를 예방하기 위해 기관 정비에 대한 교육 및 훈련의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 하지만 장비의 크기 및 장소의 제약 등으로 실제 장비를 통한 실습교육은 현실적으로 어렵다. 이러한 해결책으로 가상현실(VR)을 이용한 선박주기관 교육훈련 시스템 개발의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 기존의 VR 프로그램과 장비를 이용하여 선박주기관 교육과 훈련에 최적화된 시스템을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 수업용으로 적합한 선박주기관과 교육대상을 선정하여 모델링하고 VR 개발 소프트웨어를 사용하여 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 VR 교육·훈련 시스템은 교육과정에서 훈련이나 실습하기 어려운 내용들을 가상현실을 통해 실제와 유사하게 체험할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 VR 교육 장비를 활용하여 한국해양대학교 4학년 학생들을 대상으로 주기관 교육을 실시하였으며, 적은 표본 수이긴 하지만 교육 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 향 후 기관분야에서 VR를 활용한 교육·훈련 시스템이 도입된다면 선박주기관에 대한 유지·보수 능력이 향상되고 해양사고 저감에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

현재 우리 군은 과학과 기술의 발달, 2000년대 들어 급격히 심해진 저 출산율, 병 복무기간 단축 등으로 병력위주에서 장비위주로 첨단화, 고속화, 복잡화 되어가고 있다. 즉, 한 번의 실수로 많은 인명피해가 발생할 수 있는 실정이다. 선진국과 민간 안전교육 체계 및 교육성과 등을 분석해보면 군 안전 및 자살사고를 예방하기 위해서는 체험교육이 중요하며, 체계적이고 효율적인 체험교육을 위해서는 안전체험훈련장 건립이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 지금 입대하고 있는 장병들은 일명 인터넷세대로 태어나면서부터 인터넷을 접하면서 성장하여 가상·증강현실(VR / AR)을 자유롭게 활용하고 있으며, 지금의 과학 기술 수준은 국민안전체험관의 체험실 대부분을 가상·증강현실로 대체할 수 있을 정도의 수준까지 발전하였다. 따라서 군 안전체험훈련장은 설치공간, 건립비, 유지비, 사용자 특성, 교육효과 등을 고려하여 '응급처치'처럼 모형이 효과적인 체험실 몇 개를 제외한 많은 체험실을 가상·증강현실로 건립할 필요성이 있다. 가상·증강현실(VR / AR) 기술의 발전, 국민안전체험관 운용실태, 군 부대 특성, 설치비 및 유지비 등을 고려하여 체험훈련 소요를 도출하였다. 그리고, 국민안전체험관 대비 저비용으로 효과적인 훈련성과를 달성할 수 있는 안전체험훈련장 구축방안과 부대별 교육인원 및 주변 여건에 부합한 안전체험훈련장 규모와 체험실 구성에 대해 제시하였다. 향후 이를 기반으로 안전체험훈련장을 구축하여 체험교육을 한다면 군 안전 및 자살사고를 예방하는데 기여하게 될 것이다.

컴퓨터를 이용한 가상훈련체계를 구현하는데 있어, 청각적인 요소는 시각적인 요소 다음으로 인간의 중요한 인지 능력을 담당한다. 특히 청각 능력의 향상은 훈련 시의 성과와 밀접한 관련을 가지고 있으며, 훈련 효과 향상에 기여하는 바가 높다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 가상훈련체계를 구축하는데 있어 반드시 필요한 음향시스템을 기존에 단순한 재생이 아닌 사용자 혹은 개발자가 필요로 하는 음원을 직접 저작할 수 있는가에 초점을 두었으며, 머리전달함수(HRTF: Head Related Transfer Function)를 이용한 음원을 수정 및 편집하고 사용할 수 있는 시험체계를 개발하였다. 체계 성능 평가를 위하여 기능 및 청감 테스트를 실시하였다.
