In this paper, we implemented online real time strategy game using hand as the mouse in augmented reality. Also, we introduced the algorithm for detecting hand direction, finding fingertip of the index finger and counting the number of fingers for interaction between users and the virtual objects. The proposed method increases the reality of the game by combining the real world and the virtual objects. Retinex algorithm is used to remove the effect of illumination change. The implementation of the virtual reality in the online environment enables to extend the applicability of the proposed method to the areas such as online education, remote medical treatment, and mobile interactive games.

As mobile augmented reality technologies are spreading these days, many users want to produce augmented reality (AR) contents what they need by themselves. To keep pace with such needs, we have developed a mobile AR contents builder (hereafter referred to as MARB) that enables the user to easily connect a natural marker and a virtual object with various interaction events that are used to manipulate the virtual object in a mobile environment so that users can simply produce an AR content using natural photos and virtual objects that they select. MARB consists of five major modules-target manger, virtual object manager, AR accessory manager, AR content manager, and AR viewer. The target manager, virtual object manager and AR accessory manager register and manage natural target markers, various virtual objects and content accessories (such as various decorating images), respectively. The AR content manger defines a connection between a target and a virtual object with enabling various interactions for the desired functions such as translation/rotation/scaling of the virtual object, playing of a music, etc. AR viewer augments various virtual objects (such as 2D images, 3D models and video clips) on the pertinent target. MARB has been developed in a mobile application (app) format in order to create AR contents simply using mobile smart devices without switching to a PC environment for authoring the content. In this paper, we present the detail organizations and applications of MARB. It is expected that MARB will enable ordinary users to produce diverse mobile AR contents for various purposes with ease and contribute to expanding the mobile AR market based on spread of a variety of AR contents.

Ubiquitous computing is a vision of our future computing lifestyle in which computer systems seamlessly integrate into our everyday lives, providing services and information in anywhere and anytime fashion. Augmented reality (AR) can naturally complement ubiquitous computing by providing an intuitive and collaborative visualization and simulation interface to a three-dimensional information space embedded within physical reality. This paper presents a service framework and its applications for providing context-aware u-car maintenance services using augmented reality, which can support a rich set of ubiquitous services and collaboration. It realizes bi-augmentation between physical and virtual spaces using augmented reality. It also offers a context processing module to acquire, interpret and disseminate context information. In particular, the context processing module considers user's preferences and security profile for providing private and customer-oriented services. The prototype system has been implemented to support 3D animation, TTS (Text-to-Speech), augmented manual, annotation, and pre- and post-augmentation services in ubiquitous car service environments.

This study suggest the development and application of the Interactive Design Toolkit as a participatory design method for general customer with the application of the Augmented Reality. The Toolkit is based on a PC-based image perception system and user can make virtual models and navigate in the virtual space by manipulating physical objects directly in real world. The toolkit can be used in the field of participatory design in systematically modularized and customizable design area including model house of apartment and system kitchen furniture. More improved design toolkit for enhancing reality and providing various Interaction method Is needed hereafter.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, has a rich cultural heritage, and its historical tourist attractions well known around the world. Therefore, we designed and developed an interactive spatial augmented reality (iSAR) book on the cultural heritage of Myanmar. This iSAR book has total of 18 pages with rich media content including videos, animations, audio, and images featuring the cultural heritage of Myanmar in a digital format. In addition to virtual content, navigational features such as virtual buttons and touch-based hand gestures were implemented using Leap Motion and VVVV. Therefore, the developed iSAR book allows virtual content and navigational features to merge seamlessly into a physical book. Five participants were recruited to evaluate the prototype iSAR book, and interviews were conducted to gather their feedback based on its immersive qualities. Thus, the developed iSAR book on Myanmar effectively shares the cultural heritage of Myanmar, and ultimately allows users to explore and gain more insight into the country.

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies can interact intuitively using virtual 3D images. Information signs on buildings that are frequently used by the public play a very important role in conveying information. However, the current information sign has different understanding and interpretation, and it is difficult to communicate quickly and intuitively for interaction. The purpose of this study is to increase the efficiency of information signing through information provision using mobile augmented reality. The InfoAR app not only guides you to the destination of the building, but also acts as a marker for the logo image. The logo image created based on the feature points recognizes the information of the destination. It is converted to AR through a mobile app, allowing users to easily find their destination by obtaining specific information. In addition, it presents interactions that can enlarge, reduce, move, and rotate information about virtual objects augmented through a function called AR. In the future, if user convenience and usability of the interface are added, research is conducted, and the level of completion is improved, such as using VR contents and promotions and business cards, it is expected that highly useful contents will be produced.

Purpose To develop an educational program using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in oriental medicine education, this study investigated the status of programs currently being used mainly in the fields of medicine, nursing, and dentistry, and was the basis for developing an oriental medicine education program. We plan to use this for future research purposes. Methods To investigate medical simulation education using VR and AR technologies, 72 studies were searched using the ProQuest Central Database (period 1.1.2000 to 10.10.2023.) Of these, 22 were selected for analysis. Results Among the selected studies, the educational fields of the program were 59% (13 studies) in medicine, 32% (7 studies) in nursing, 9% (2 studies) in dentistry, 73% (16 studies) were VR in terms of applied technology, and 27% (6 studies) in AR. Conclusions Recently, research on VRand AR has increased in the medical field. As patient rights and medical environments change, clinical practice education programs using new technologies are needed, in addition to traditional face-to-face practice. Related research is expected to be active in the field of Oriental medicine in the future.

AR(Augmented Reality)는 일반적으로 VE(Virtual Environments) 혹은 VR(Virtual Reality)에서 파생한 것으로 실제 환경(real environment)에 컴퓨터 그래픽스 영상을 삽입하여 실제와 가상의 영상 혼합을 뜻한다[1]. 실세계는 컴퓨터로 만들기 힘든 많은 정보들이 존재한다. 그렇지만 그 정보들 중에 우리가 필요하지 않은 많은 정보도 있고, 때로는 우리가 필요 하는 정보가 부족할 수도 있다. 컴퓨터로 재생한 가상 환경을 이용하면, 필요하지 않은 정보들을 단순하게 만들거나 보이지 않는 정보들을 만들어 낼 수 있다.
