  • As for the implementation technology of virtual space, the experience method becomes multifunctional and it recognizes movement, sound, temperature and pressure and is expanding to the studies on the interaction possible intelligent interaction technology field between contents and users. The virtual reality technology is being studied to apply the 3D graphic technology and physical phenomena to virtual space to increase the sense of reality and use hardware devices to the virtual environment to increase immersive experience. The production of interactive contents about the virtual underwater environment needs bidirectional interface technology to connect hardware devices and ocean contents in order to increase the sense of a user to increase the sense of immersion. In this study, it tried to express the virtual underwater environment with the sense of actuality and reality from the analysis of the environmental factors according to changes in depth of water and from the application of the normalized underwater physical laws. Also it was to develop sensory contents having to experience the skin scuba without directly entering the water by connecting a sensory simulator about the skin scuba with the virtual underwater environment.

  • The $360^{\circ}$ video has a lot of image information and usefulness; however, the position of the audio source judged by hearing is different from the position on the screen. Therefore, human feels tired, the immersion decrease and user cant watch the video for Moreer time. In this paper, the concordance rate of the video and the audio localization is defined. The rate is expressed in a percentage. It means how much the system makes the sound localization real according to the position of the source on the screen. With this rate, the audio localization performance of immersive audio producing and playing system can be evaluated. It will be helpful for developers to make the higher performance system and expected to contribute to make makinguality system with reality.

  • Recently, audio systems are changing the configuration of conventional sound reinforcement (SR) systems and public address (PA) systems by using audio over IP (AoIP), a technology that can transmit and receive audio signals based on internet protocol (IP). With the advancement of IP technology, AoIP technologies are leading the audio market and various technologies are being released. In particular, audio networks and control hierarchy over peer-to-peer (Anchor) technology based on AoIP is a system that transmits and receives audio signals over a wide bandwidth without an audio mixer, creating a novel paradigm for existing audio system configurations. Anchor technology forms an audio system by connecting audio sources and output equipment with On-site audio center (OAC), a device that can transmit and receive IP. Anchor's receiving OAC is capable of receiving and mixing audio signals transmitted from different IPs, making it possible to configure a novel audio system by replacing the conventional audio mixer. However, Anchor technology does not have the ability to provide audio effects to input devices such as microphones and instruments in the audio system configuration. Due to this, when individual control of each audio source is required, there is a problem of not being able to control the input signal, and it is impossible to individually affect a specific input signal. In this paper, we implemented a tone control module that can individually control the tone of the audio source of the input device using the audio processor core in the audio system based on Anchor technology, tone control for audio sources is possible through a tone control module connected to the transmitting OAC. As a result of the study, we confirmed that OAC receives the signal from the audio source, adjusts the tone and outputs it on the tone control module. Based on this, it was possible to solve problems that occurred in Anchor technology through transmitting OAC and tone control modules. In the future, we hope that the audio system configuration using Anchor technology will become established as the standard for audio equipment.

  • Recently, Audio systems transform the configuration of conventional sound reinforcement and public address systems using audio over internet protocol (AoIP), whereby audio signals are transmitted and received based on internet protocol (IP). Currently, AoIP technologies are leading the audio market, and various technologies have been released. Audio networks and the control hierarchy over peer-to-peer (Anchor) technology based on AoIP transmit and receive audio signals over a wide bandwidth without an audio mixer. Audio system based on Anchor technology is constructed by connecting the on-site audio center (OAC), a device that can transmit and receive audio sources and output equipment over IP. Receiving OAC of the Anchor technology can receive and mix audio signals transmitted from different IPs; consequently, novel audio systems can be configured by replacing conventional audio mixers. However, the Anchor technology does not have an equalizer function for improving the quality of audio equipment. Therefore, tone distortion may occur owing to signal loss between equipment, poor audio-signal clarity, and howling due to audio deformation according to different architectural structures and environments. In this study, we implemented an audio effect device capable of tone control using the Audio Processor Core. Using Anchor technology, tone control was realized through an audio effect device in the receiving OAC. The output of the incoming OAC was received by the audio effect device, which adjusted the tone and then outputted it. Thus, the tone issues in Anchor technology were overcome by the receiving OAC and audio effect devices. In future, audio system configurations using Anchor technology could be the standard for audio equipment.

  • The technology of 'Virtual Reality' has placed in advanced tools for human beings' joy and anger together with sorrow and pleasure in our generation. It has recently tried in a variety ways to use as an implication for treatment in the field of Cognitive Psychology. Especially, it widely approaches to human in terms of that a sense of reality in a virtual world through the five senses should reinterpret the meaning of cognition in the real world. Based on this paradigm shift, it allows for new treatment using the technology of virtual reality. A typical example is a field of Therapy in order to overcome panic disorder. It has advantages that in particular development of flexible interaction technologies in a virtual space can lead patients to experience psychological environments rather than physical one. the interaction technology provides environments in which users' five senses can be actively stimulated, it is very useful that information from the experiences in the virtual world allows people to learn through real experiences by renewing potential energies, advantages of Virtual Reality Therapy can be customized treatment by depending on symptoms in patients with panic disorder and are capable of differentiate application for the cure at each stage. It is to treat by leading patients to get accustomed to environments and situations in real world through care process with each symptom and stage. It is helpful that based on A Human-Sensibility Ergonomics, technologies like immersive virtual reality equipment, force-relative feedback and stereophonic sound, and like stimulating the sense of smell make people to induce experiences by stimulating human's five senses. There are many advantages of immersion in virtual world in that the phenomenon such as challenge, interaction, reality, illusion, and cooperation is expanded. As an application for therapy by growing such augmented reality, virtual space and sharing of data through the Internet and also inexpensive its availability have recently expanded the base. There are other benefits of Virtual Reality Therapy offering active interaction environments for cognitive experience which can provide appropriately adjusted environments for patients who are hard to overcome the real situation because of phobia. In addition to that it is safe and economical and patients' confidentiality is assured. Moreover, due to the principles of applying real-time navigation the Virtual Reality Therapy makes modification and supplementation easier and also it can reduce cybersickness because of the supply of Lenticular allowing people to see stereoscopy without eyeglasses, which makes sense of presence clearer. On top of that due to the development of interactive technologies, it is becoming close to sense of reality similar to real world by leading users to navigate by themselves and to operate objects in a virtual space. This paper will therefore examine, although it is of limited, characteristics of application of virtual reality technology based on A Human-Sensibility Ergonomics used for treatment for a disorder. this paper will analyse a range of its application and problems and it will suggest the future possibilities.
