CVE(Collaborative Virtual Environment)는 물리적으로 함께 모이지 못하는 사람들이 서로 의논하고, 공동으로 일할 수 있는 가상공간의 공유된 장(場)을 말한다. CVE에서 참여자들은 가상적으로 그들이 존재할 수 있게 하는 사람의 형상을 닮은 체현(體現), 즉 아바타를 통해 대표된다. 그러나 현재 가상환경에서 볼 수 있는 대부분의 아바타들은 그 아바타의 행동과 사용자간에 일어나고 있는 대화 사이의 자연스러운 관계를 나타내지 못하고 있다. 사람과 사람간의 대화에 있어서 교환되는 정보의 65% 이상이 비언어적 기호에 의해 전달된다는 점을 감안할 때, 비언어적 커뮤니케이션 채널을 CVE 시스템의 아바타에서 제공하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 아바타 제스츄어 디자인에 적용될 수 있는 비언어커뮤니케이션의 전달양식을 도출하고 사람과 사람간의 커뮤니케이션 과정에서 발생하는 대표적인 신체언어들을 언어와의 관련성에 따라 유형을 분류한 후 머리에서 발까지 신체부위별로 흔히 사용되는 동작과 그에 부합하는 언어표현들을 정리하여 제시하는 방법으로 CVE에서 사용자들이 적절한 커뮤니케이션 활동을 할 수 있도록 지원하는 아바타의 동작표현을 제안하고 있다.

Recently, remote work has arisen due to the social atmosphere and advancement of digital technology. Although effective in premeditated communications such as conferences or meetings, the current technology such as messengers and video chats insufficiently supports impromptu communications like a chance encounter, daily conversation with colleagues, or brief instant meetings. This causes various problems such as a decrease in social belonging and an increase in social isolation. The virtual workplace, which emerged as an alternative to this technology, is merely replicating the workplace layouts in reality with an absence of the proper design guideline. Therefore, this paper aims to establish the foundation for the better design of the virtual workplace for remote-work employees. The research compared 12 current workplace cases with the analysis with 5 categories(Spatial Composition, Scale, Individual & Collaboration Workplace, Socializing Space), and discovered the following results: 1) some design principles of the real workplace can be applied on the virtual workplace design, 2) the architectural components of the virtual workplace can differ from them of the real. Based on the results, the research suggests both the appropriate design methodologies of the virtual workplace considering the design principles of the real office layouts, and the design direction for the future of the virtual workplace. This research will be the foundation for the future design of the virtual workplace.

Space in the past had characteristics of place which are required for specific behavior to be done as we recognized it easily. However, for space in modern times, the purpose, forms and behavior space has, have changed as tools comprising the space have changed. 'Virtual space' which has been a conversation topic recently is unspecific and changeable space whose forms and geological location are not defined clearly. In addition, behaviors caused by this virtual space in combination with real space are taking place. The nature of Flash Mob which is one of the typical behaviors which take place starting from virtual space to be connected with real space, is that it is intangible game culture whose forms and behaviors are not fixed, and it is not limited to a specific place. Besides, Flash Mob is characteristic of representing game culture in modern society, and its nature can be summarized as temporariness, non-placeness, anonymity, double-sidedness and so forth. Since events generally take place in every place when man is involved in space, it's possible to generally think events derived from interpersonal relationships between man and man. We are to study spatial characteristics of Flash Mob by analyzing features and cases of the Flash Mob by means of them.

What's the direction of INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN in 21 Century High Tech\ulcorner The purpose of this research is to show not only practical use of Computer Graphic(CG) as simple tool function, but offering conversation with computer and other ways of method. When we consider poor CG market, investment on the research of VR(Virtual Reality) is the most urgent. The investment on VR will solve various problems. Firstly. It will solve the problems drived from Interior design process by making spatial images like reality. Secondly, It will solve high wages and financial difficulties caused by raise cost funds. Thirdly, It prevents in a road from foreign company that will bring enormous program, caused by opening the domestic market. Also, It help interior designer check in advance the problems in constructure through showing him a supposed imagination including the system and location of equipments. But it is reality that even ordinary American can't offer VR(Virtual Reality) System. We should have noted that it is normal to spend 10 billion won for such presentation as Model House in the large corporation. We must acknowledge that it is such a waist of money nationally. Therefore, investment on CG & VR System is essential in order to save cost more effective presentation & interior design. We will see great result within a year. As we can see, there is huge area we have make develop. One of them is specific technical plan on VR System and study of flow chart. We close with simple methodological way to use VR System and will study Computer System. Which is fitting to CG that we have to solve the link of hardware and software on VR System\ulcorner We know from the cases in other countries that continuous research on this subject has great value for Interior Architectural Design and its effective use. When we try hard not only for methodological use but practical use, the purpose of CG and VR System will be a factor to contribute on this subject for better Interior design & presentation.

In Korea, the military has been conducting counseling forthe preemptive detection of psychologically unstable soldiers to prevent unexpected accidents and to help them adapt to military life. However, several soldiers feel anxious about face-to-face counseling with military officers and they have difficulty expressing themselves. Video See-Through HMD is a state-of-the-art mixed reality device that converts the user's real view into a digital view, which leads users to feel the actual situation as the virtual. To validate its usefulness as a new psychological counseling aid, we investigated 11 army soldiers who are under the counseling program in barracks. During the counseling conversation, participants were asked to wear or take off the Video See-Through HMD repeatedly. All conversations were recorded for behavioral observation. As a result, 80% of the soldiers showed a relatively stable state of mind when wearing the Video See-Through HMD, which leads them to be innocent and frank about their concerns. This method could improve the effectiveness of counseling to prevent unexpected accidents caused by unnoticeable psychological instabilities of the clients.

This study investigates the characteristic traits of architectural design of Toyo Ito, who has been acclaimed as one of the most famous present-day Japanese architects. Ito' architecture is generally known as media architecture for its specific natures such as lightness, dematerialization, extensive use of shiny glass, etc. In this respect, Ito's architecture is a radical departure from the tradition of the architectural modernism mostly represented by Le Corbusier. In this study, the architectural world of Toyo Ito is divided into four main section: the conversation between architecture and nature, the architecture of the wind, simulation, and virtual reality, Each of these categories is given full investigation together with appropriate architectural model fit into them.

가상현실은 감각기관에 전달하는 정보를 조작하여 가상의 경험을 피험자에게 제공하고, 사람은 가상현실에서 제공하는 감각적인 정보를 뇌에서 통합하여 상황을 판단한다. 그러한 판단을 통해 가상현실이 얼마나 실제와 같은지 아닌지 지각하고 판단하게 된다. 이렇게 어떤 특정한 또는 이해할 수 있는 장소에 존재한다고 생각하는 인간의 지각상태를 나타내는 요소를 '현존감'이라고 한다. 가상의 환경을 사용자가 실제처럼 느끼고 그 내용을 받아들이도록 하는 것은 중요한 목표이다. 또한 현존감은 가상현실에서 경험하게 되는 여러 가지 감각적인 정보들을 통하여 느끼는 종합적인 느낌을 반영한다. 따라서 여러 가지 감각적인 정보들을 통합하는 과정에서 현존감과 관련된 뇌의 메커니즘이 존재할 것이다. 현존감은 매체를 통한 정보전달 시, 매체에서 전달되는 여러 가지 정보나 자극에 대한 사용자의 지각 및 인식과 중요한 관련이 있기 때문에 현존감의 정도는 개인이 지각하는 정보의 명확성에 영향을 준다. 이를 알아보기 위해서 사회적인 상황에서의 명확성의 차이를 가지는 내용을 아바타를 통해 전달하고 피험자가 그 내용을 바탕으로 추론해보는 가상현실을 구성하였다. 그리고 피험자가 전달받은 내용을 바탕으로 추론하는 동안 뇌 영역 활성화의 차이와 가상현실에 대한 현존감 점수가 관련된 뇌 영역을 알아보았다. 실험 결과 우측 혀이랑, 우측 쐐기소엽, 좌측 혀이랑, 우측 방추상이랑, 좌측 하측두이랑, 전대상피질 그리고 우측 후대상피질에서 유의미한 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 본 연구는 가상현실을 통한 정보의 전달 시 현존감의 영향을 뇌 기능영상 촬영을 통해서 내부 메커니즘의 측면에서 살펴보았다는 것에 의의가 있다.
