Recently, VR HMD (virtual reality head mounted display) has been utilized for virtual training, entertainment, vision therapy, and optometry. In particular, virtual reality contents are increasingly used for vision therapy and optometry. Accordingly, high-quality virtual reality contents such as a natural vision of life is required. Therefore, it is necessary to study the content production according to the optical characteristics of the VR HMD. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a proper FOV (field of view) of contents according to the distortion rate. We produced virtual reality contents and obtained distorted images by virtual camera. The distortion rate is calculated by using the distorted image. It is proved that the optimal FOV of the VR content with the minimum distortion is $90{\sim}100^{\circ}$. The results of this study are expected to be applied to the production of high quality contents.

Virtual Reality(VR) is a new technology which makes humans communicate with computer. It allows the user to see, hear, feel and interact in a three-dimensional virtual world created graphically. In this paper, we introduced VR into psychotherapy area and developed VR system for the exposure therapy of acrophobia. Acrophobia is an abnormal fear of heights. Medications or cognitive-behavior methods have been mainly used as a treatment. Lately the virtual reality technology has been applied to that kind of anxiety disorders. A virtual environment provides patient with stimuli which arouses phobia, and exposing to that environment makes him having ability to over come the fear. In this study, the elevator stimulator that composed with a position sensor, head mount display, and audio system, is suggested. To illustrate the physiological difference between a person who has a feel of phobia and without phobia, heart rate was measured during experiment. And also measured a person's HR after the virtual reality training. In this study, we demonstrated the subjective effectiveness of virtual reality psychotherapy through the clinical experiment.

가상현실 관련 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 기술의 빠른 성장과 함께 가상현실 영화는 새로운 영화의 가능성으로 주목받고 있다. 이미 세계 유수 영화제와 헐리우드를 중심으로 가상현실영화 제작이 활발히 이루어지고 있으나 아직 국내에서는 가상현실영화 관련 연구가 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 가상현실 영화를 전통영화의 리얼리즘과 포스트모더니즘 관점에서 영화의 프레임(미장센), 쇼트(몽타주) 그리고 시점, 그리고 상호작용성의 네 가지 측면에서 분석하였다. 또한 가상현실 영화 사례들을 통하여 리얼리즘과 포스트모더니즘적 특성 사이의 가상현실영화의 미학적 특징을 도출하였다. 이는 가상현실영화만이 가진 관객의 상호작용성의 특징과 가상현실 기술을 활용한 리얼리즘의 실현, 즉 디지털 리얼리즘이라고 볼 수 있다. 마지막으로 HMD 기반의 1인칭 가상현실 애니메이션 제작사례 'FLY'를 중심으로 가상현실영화의 디지털 리얼리즘적 특성을 논의 하였다.

Although research on Virtual Reality (VR) has uncovered numerous technical advantages of VR over traditional media, little is known about how individual VR users with varying prior experience respond to VR differently. This paper examines the effect of users' prior VR experience on their subsequent real-life behavior in the domain of charitable consumption. Specifically, we find that compared to experienced VR users, novice VR users are more likely to support a charitable cause in real life (e.g., ocean conservation) after experiencing this cause in VR. The increased support among novice VR users occurs because they perceive the use of VR to be more novel. We find a boundary of this effect such that when VR is used to promote a noncharitable cause, novice VR users no longer increase their real-life support after VR. This research offers new possibilities for future studies on the use of VR in societal marketing.

Specifically, focused on experience store of VR as a distribution retailer, user requirements were analyzed according to the results of previous research that the characteristics of Affordance, Presence, and Head Mounted Display (HMD) affect user satisfaction. Research, design, data, and methodology - Based on previous studies, in this study, we analyzed the importance of immerse, interaction, perception, and presence for the satisfaction of the user through the questionnaire, and the user experiences virtual reality (VR) The importance of HMD, Presence, Affordance, and experience satisfaction were analyzed. Based on this, we analyzed the user requirements and the developer requirements based on the questionnaires and interviews of the experts, starting from the user's desire or preference using QFD technique. Results - As a result of the analysis, the development factors that occupied a big part in the virtual reality field appeared to be visual. In detail, this showed that there was a lack of sense of presence for users. This should be improved. This paper shows that the requirements for visual, auditory, and tactile development are necessary. For the satisfaction of the users of virtual reality (VR) users, it is necessary to develop them according to their priority in consideration of importance and difficulty in the future. Conclusions - In this study, it was suggested that development according to priority should be considered, considering the difficulty level. Based on the results of this study, the following suggestions are made. First, we tried to search the list of user requirements as much as possible, but it is likely to change due to the development of VR technology. Therefore, it is necessary for developers to continually supplement user requirements with recent research literature. Second, development priorities according to difficulty level should be considered. This aspect should be considered in the actual VR development process, so if the numerical value of the difficulty is calculated, it should be presented in the research.

가상현실 속에서 실제와 같은 서비스를 제공하는 기술 VR(Virtual Reality)은 Head Mounted Display(HMD) 기기를 이용하여 실제와 유사한 체험을 제공한다. 최근 VR의 시장은 커졌으나 가상현실에서의 보안에 대한 연구는 다른 분야에 비해 미흡하다. 현재 VR을 활용한 많은 개인화된 서비스들이 진행되고 있는 만큼 안전한 사용자 인증이 중요하다. VR의 HMD 기기를 착용을 하면 주변 환경을 인식하지 못하기에 Personal Identification Number(PIN)입력 시에 Shoulder Surfing Attack (SSA)으로 사용자의 입력 패턴을 분석이 용이하다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 편의성은 그대로 유지하면서 해커가 입력 패턴을 분석하더라도 사용자의 비밀 번호를 안전하게 보호할 수 있는 방법에 대해 제안한다. VR 특성에 맞게 기존 직사각형 모양에서 벗어난 새로운 형태의 가상 키패드와 사용자와 직관적인 상호작용을 위해 자물쇠 오브젝트를 최초로 구현 하였다. 또한 VR의 기존 입력 장치들과 동일한 센서를 사용하는 스마트 글러브와 이에 적합한 회전방식의 PIN입력 방식을 구현하였다. 따라서 총 세 가지의 VR 상에서의 안전한 PIN 입력 방법에 대하여 제안하며 실험을 통해 SSA에 대한 안전성을 검증하였다.

The purpose of this study was to identity effects of virtual reality(VR) program related to standing postural control on balance, gait and brain activation patterns in chronic hemiplegic stroke patients. Subjects were assigned randomly to either VR group (n=12) or the control group (n=12) when the study began. Both groups received conventional physical therapy for 2 to 3 times per week. In addition to conventional physical therapies, VR group trained 3 types of virtual reality programs using IREX for standing postural control during 4 weeks (4 times/week, 30 minutes/time). Subjects were assessed for static and dynamic balance parameters using BPM, functional balance using Berg Balance Scale related to movement of paretic lower limb before and after 4 weeks of virtual reality training. The results of this study were as follows. 1. Following VR training, VR group demonstrated the marked improvement on dynamic mean balance, anteroposterior limits of stability (AP angle) and mediolateral limits of stability (ML angle). 2. Following VR training, both groups scored higher on Berg Balance Scale. However, a comparison of mean change revealed differences between groups. In conclusion, these data suggest that the postural control training using VR programs improve dynamic and functional balance performance in chronic hemiplegic stroke patients.
