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.

As computer related technologies are developed, interests in augmented reality technologies are greatly increasing. Augmented reality is a technology that composes digital contents from the real input images through camera and it enables interaction with users. This study designed a directional marker using LED light that emits infrared ray, then, provided a detection algorithm and a marker information extraction method that can realize various virtual objects as augmented reality from one marker. The newly designed method provides a solution to settle the problems in existing marker technologies such as decrease of immersiveness and read rate and single information expression, and at the same time it can minimize the cost or time consumption in marker information storage.

Although unmanned aerial vehicles have been used to overcome the limited accessibility of human-based visual inspection, unresolved issues still remain. Onsite inspectors face difficulty finding previously detected damage locations and tracking their status onsite. For example, an inspector still marks the damage location on a target structure with chalk or drawings while comparing the current status of existing damages to their previous status, as documented onsite. In this study, an augmented-reality-based structural inspection system with onsite damage information marking was developed to enhance the convenience of inspectors. The developed system detects structural damage, creates a holographic marker with damage information on the actual physical damage, and displays the marker onsite via an augmented reality headset. Because inspectors can view a marker with damage information in real time on the display, they can easily identify where the previous damage has occurred and whether the size of the damage is increasing. The performance of the developed system was validated through a field test, demonstrating that the system can enhance convenience by accelerating the inspector's essential tasks such as detecting damages, measuring their size, manually recording their information, and locating previous damages.

The representative branch of ICT education is Arduino. However, there are various problems when teaching using Arduino. Arduino requires a complex understanding of hardware and software, and this can be perceived as a difficult course, especially for beginners who are not familiar with programming or electronics. Additionally, the process of connecting the pins of the Arduino board and components must be accurate, and even small mistakes can lead to project failure, which can reduce the learner's concentration and interest in learning Arduino. Existing Arduino learning content consists of text and images in 2D format, which has limitations in increasing student understanding and immersion. Therefore, in this paper analyzes the necessary conditions for sprouting 'growing kidney beans' in the first semester of the fourth grade of elementary school, and builds an automated experimental environment using Arduino. Augmented reality of the pin connection process was designed and produced to solve the difficulties when building an automation system using Arduino. After 3D modeling Arduino and components using 3D Max, animation was set, and augmented reality (AR) content was produced using Unity to provide learners with more intuitive and immersive learning content when learning Arduino. Augmented reality (AR)-based Arduino learning content production is expected to increase educational effects by improving the understanding and immersion of classes in ICT education using Arduino and inducing fun and interest in physical computing coding education.

As the number of augmented reality games using augmented reality technology increases, the demands of users are also increasing. Game technologies used in augmented reality games are mainly games using MARKER, MARKERLESS, GPS, etc. Games using this technology can augment the background and other objects. To solve this problem, we want to help develop augmented reality games by analyzing objects in the background, which is an important element of augmented reality. To analyze the background in the augmented reality game, the background object was analyzed by applying a deep learning model using TensorFlow Lite in the UNITY engine. Using this result, we obtained the result that augmented objects can be placed in the game according to the types of objects analyzed in the background. By utilizing this research, it will be possible to develop advanced augmented reality games by augmenting objects that fit the background.

Recently, interest in flight simulators based on HMD and mixed reality is increasing. However, they have limitations in providing various interactions and a sense of presence to pilot wearing HMD. To overcome these limitations, a mixed reality image corresponding to the interaction under the actual cockpit environment must be generated in real time and provided to the pilot. For this purpose, we proposed a mixed reality image generation method, in which the cockpit area including the pilot's body could be extracted from real image obtained from the camera attached to the HMD and then composed with virtual image to generate a high-resolution mixed reality image. Simulation results showed that the proposed method could provide mixed reality images to HMD at 30 Hz frame rate with 99% image composition accuracy.

As augmented reality technology has developed, various augmented reality contents can be seen in real life, and the performance of mobile device is improved, so augmented reality technology can be used even without special device. As a result, a training system, guidance system and a museum art guide system based on augmented reality technology are emerging, and interest in augmented reality is also increasing. However, the existing guidance systems using a single mobile device have limitations in terms of the user experience (UX) because the camera of the device limits the field of view or the two hands are not free and the user input is difficult. In this paper, we compare augmented reality based guidance systems for Rubik's Cube using tablet and HMD to improve the constraint of user experience of such a single mobile device, and find elements that positively improve user experience. After that, we evaluate whether the user experience is actually improved through the user experience comparison test and the questionnaire.
