As the IT technology evolves, virtual reality technology has been developed so fast. Studies of virtual reality technology in various fields have been conducted. There are lots of applications of virtual reality such as education, military, medical, arts, entertainment, and so on. In this research, we applied virtual reality technology to the technical education, and developed various kinds of educational contents using virtual reality. We classified virtual contents into several categories and analyzed the properties and effects, and verified the educational effects of virtual training through the case analysis.

Realistic content such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality is emerging as an innovative technology in the education field in that it allows people to safely and efficiently experience dangerous, expensive or impossible situations, such as disaster training or space travel. Recently, as government agencies have supported a lot for producing virtual augmented reality contents about education, various educational contents using virtual augmented reality technology have been developed through the Edutech industry. Many virtual augmented reality-based educational contents are being developed, but mixed reality-based educational contents are very limited which could be more effective for education. This study examines the basic method of producing mixed reality educational contents using Hololens and, on the basis of this, it proposes the method for producing scientific experiment contents. Hololens made it possible to share information in real time without a regular desktop PC, and it is effective for teachers to manage and evaluate students in real time.

This study developed radiation therapy contents based on virtual reality technology and applied them to radiation students. A survey was conducted to analyze the relationship between learning effects and learning satisfaction to students who used virtual reality education videos to analyze their learning performance. 71 students radiology department were classified into two groups one that experienced virtual reality and the other that did not experienced virtual reality. We surveyed between the two groups analyzed self-directed learning, self-learning efficacy and learning satisfaction. As a result, the comparison between the two groups showed no difference between self-directed learning and self-learning efficacy. But the learning satisfaction was significant from 2.64±0.83 to 3.20±0.88 in the problem solving process for groups applying virtual reality contents. Therefore, learning satisfaction has improved experienced group virtual reality content and the materials for virtual reality education can be applied more efficiently in non-face-to-face lectures.

As the software education which utilizes the virtual reality in the education field becomes more interested in the teachers and the students, researches are being conducted for the education of virtual reality contents production. The purpose of this study is to analyze the curriculum, outcomes, and evaluation results of virtual reality contents production for educational students, elementary school students, and middle school students. As a result of analysis on each group, there was no difference in adaptability to specific tools, differences in ability of object production in production, and self-confidence and interest in production and utilization of virtual reality in learning attitude.

The purpose of this study is to discover the nature of users' flow experience in virtual reality education services. To this end, we analyzed the factors that affect the user's immersion in virtual reality by applying grounded theory, which is one of the qualitative research method. An experiment was conducted on 11 subjects who were interested in conducting virtual reality education, and conducted interviews after experiments. All of the interviews were documented and configured to construct a paradigm model through the steps of opening coding, axial coding, selective coding. Based on the results, it presents suggestions for future virtual reality education services.

Disaster safety education that can respond when a disaster occurs is very important in Korea, where many human resources are generated due to safety insensitivity. Recently, with the development of virtual reality devices and manufacturing technology, the possibility of using a training system incorporating virtual reality technology in the field of safety education is attracting attention. The virtual training system is very effective for training and education because it has an excellent sense of immersion and allows you to experience various disaster situations without time and space limitations. In this study, cases of disaster safety virtual training contents in Korea are collected and investigated, and the current status of domestic disaster safety virtual training contents is identified and analyzed to identify problems and suggest improvement plans.

Virtual reality is a technology for enabling users to interact with a computer generated environment which can be similar to the real world. A multi-channel display is one of the virtual reality platform for creating a high resolution image. In this paper, we develop a multi-channel display system which allows users to immersively understand the 3D educating contents and furthermore, we construct 3D educating contents for describing a semiconductor concept and process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the features of inquiry activities using technology in the 2015 revised elementary science digital textbooks. For this, we analyzed the features of inquiry context and inquiry method presented in inquiry activities using three kinds of technology: Virtual experiment, virtual reality and augmented reality. As a result, firstly, the most common types of 77 inquiry activities were realistic type which shows the phenomenon actually and vividly as possible and realistic-abstract type which shows the phenomena with the abstract concepts. Second, the ways of using three technologies were different depending on the processes of inquiry and the sub-domains of science. For example, virtual experiment technologies were mostly used in the contents of physics and chemistry with the inquiry context of realistic-abstract type for investigating the relationship between variables of experiments and describing the phenomena mechanically. On the other hand, virtual reality and augmented reality techniques tended to be used more frequently in biology and earth science contents with the inquiry context of realistic type for observing and describing the phenomena. Finally, we discussed educational implications in terms of developing and applying technology-based inquiry activities.

The purpose of this study is to analyze elementary school students' interest in virtual reality(VR) technology, usability, and the possibility of learning media. In particular, it is intended to be used for content creation for artificial intelligence(AI) education in the future. The effectiveness of elementary education using virtual reality technology was confirmed through the analysis of overseas research, and the applicability to elementary school students in Korea was analyzed. To proceed with the analysis, various virtual reality contents were provided to 5th grader of elementary school, and then, interest, usability, usefulness, and possibility of use in class and learning were surveyed. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that students' interest in virtual reality contents was very high, and that it could be used sufficiently as a learning medium. It suggests that it can be used in artificial intelligence education and data science education, which have recently been emphasized in importance. In particular, virtual reality can be used to simulate abstract data and artificial intelligence.

Learning system on virtual environment gives the immersive feeling that lacks in existing E-Learning system, excites user's interest, and offers dangerous and expensive education contents. In this paper, we classified the learning categories into four classes: realtime lecture, anytime study, practice education, and the activity of study group. We built the on-line lecture system using Second Life that supports 3D virtual world and mixed reality. We provided virtual learning environment as running developed virtual world on-line lecture system.
