VR and AR are widely used in many applications to provide more immersive visualization and natural interaction for learning and experiencing virtual but realistic tasks. Energy saving is considered as one of the most important issues throughout the world in order to overcome global warming and energy crisis. In particular, the awareness of home energy saving is regarded as a first step to deal with this issue. In this paper, we suggest a new learning environment using virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) for home energy saving experience. In particular, it presents a comparative study of the user experience in home energy awareness using immersive virtual reality and mobile augmented reality. The first person user experience using immersive VR wearing head mounted display (HMD) and the third person user experience using mobile AR are implemented and systematically compared with each other in terms of the learning effect of energy saving and qualitative usability. Implementation results will be given to show the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Most of the computer to implement a Augmented reality 3-D, or a graphic or visual means through the virtual space. The participants in the Augmented reality immersive virtual reality and virtual reality, the process proceeds to change the world. In particular, the field of children's games and Augmented reality fits well with the technical characteristics of the children that may lead to more interesting and creative sector is pointing to. In this study, children's games in order to maximize learning effectiveness of board games and Augmented reality technology, take a look at the characteristics of the children's educational program is to propose a new model proposal.

This paper presents first results of an interdisciplinary research project for the development of an "intelligent" welding helmet. Contrary to conventional welding helmets the system allows a detailed observation both of the welding process and the environment. By methods of virtual and augmented reality additional information can be supplied to the welder. The system can be used for welding preparation, welding process observation and quality assurance.

Due to the problem of matching between virtual world space and real-world space, the reality of augmented reality content is rather low. There are many reasons for this result, firstly virtual object is rendered without considering relation between real-world space and virtual world space. Secondly, virtual objects rely too much on the marker to reduce reality. We propose two schemes to improve the reality of augmented reality, one is people occlusion, the other is to reduce the dependence of virtual objects on the marker.

21세기 현대사회는 다양한 가상현실 미디어에 둘러싸여있다. 영화, 드라마, 광고 등 대부분의 영상에 거의 필수적으로 컴퓨터 그래픽 작업이 들어가며, 가상현실의 대표적인 콘텐츠인 게임의 경우 100억 달러 규모의 거대 시장이 형성되어있다. 단순히 오락적 요소로만 여겨지던 이 가상현실이, 최근에는 교육과 연계되어 연구되기 시작했다. 한국인의 교육열은 세계적으로 유명하고, 특히 영어교육에는 한 해 평균 19조원을 투자할 정도로 영어 교육에 관심이 많다. 그러나 대부분의 한국인들은 여전히 영어를 어려워한다. 본 논문에서는 가상현실의 몰입감과 체험이라는 특징을 영어교육과 접목하여 교육의 효과를 높이기 위한 콘텐츠를 기획하고 Eon Studio툴을 이용하여 개발한 영어교육게임을 제안한다.

Conventional Augmented Reality has used data gloves or markers for smooth interaction between objects and background. This causes inconvenience of use and lower immersion. To build up immersion in Augmented Reality, additional input devices must be removed. For this purpose, accurate recognition of space coordinates is needed even with no attachment of markers. This paper proposes a method to create virtual space coordinates for interaction without wearing additional input devices so as to improve immersion in Augmented Reality. The acquired image was projected to 2D space and vanishing lines were extracted to calculate the virtual space coordinates. Then the sizes of the inserted objects were varied in accordance with the size of the virtual coordinates area based on the image projected onto the 2D coordinates. This resulted in improved immersion. This method can increase the efficiency of object creation by excluding the use of a 3D modeler for creation of 3D objects.

This paper suggests a collision techniques for a higher reality in augmented reality by processing collision between a real object obtained through video frame input and a marker-based virtual object or a virtual object from Opengl. Augmented reality system is providing the visual information containing a virtual object added to the real environment and interactive interface between objects and between user and objects becomes a more concerning interest. But the collision problem is essential to the interactive interface and has to be solved first. Therefore, the proposed system suggests a solution for it to increase the realism and the immersion by validating the collision among a marker-based object, a virtual object from Opengl, and a real object obtained through web camera, that is, video frame.

문화콘텐츠가 우리나라를 세계에 알리고 위상을 높이는데 중요한 역할을 하면서 그 근본이 되는 문화유산에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 우리의 문화유산을 보존하고 알리기 위하여 과학기술을 융합하여, 활용하는 다양한 연구가 진행 되고 있지만, 우리나라의 문화유산 콘텐츠 개발은 아직 초보 단계에 머물고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최근 화두가 되고 있는 4차 산업혁명에서 주목 받고 있는 가상증강현실(Virtual Augmented Reality : VR/AR) 기술을 통해 문화유산의 활용 보존 계승에 도움을 주는 방안을 탐색하고자 한다.

The augmented reality is the environment which consists of real-world view and information drawn by computer. Since the image which user can see through augmented reality device is a synthetic image composed by real-view and virtual image, it is important to make the virtual image generated by computer well harmonized with real-view image. In this paper, we present reviews of several works about computer vision and graphics methods which give user realistic augmented reality experience. To generate visually harmonized synthetic image which consists of a real and a virtual image, 3D geometry and environmental information such as lighting or material surface reflectivity should be known by the computer. There are lots of computer vision methods which aim to estimate those. We introduce some of the approaches related to acquiring geometric information, lighting environment and material surface properties using monocular or multi-view images. We expect that this paper gives reader's intuition of the computer vision methods for providing a realistic augmented reality experience.

In this paper, we proposed a design of interactive augmented reality coloring book. The proposed method improves user's participation and interest by using real space, augmented reality space, and virtual reality space all together. According to the proposed method, we implemented the PlayingHouse, an interactive augmented reality coloring book. In the future, we expect that AR coloring book could be the category of the library.
