This paper presents an attempt to develop a visual programming language-based 3D virtual reality authoring tool intended to compose virtual interior space. The rapid development of digital technology and the wide spread of the Intenet have expanded the different uses of virtual reality in a number of applications ranging from interior design to building maintenance. In particular, the construction of cyber spaces based on existing interior spaces is becoming increasingly important. Current research, however, remains at the level of converting 3D models into virtual reality models, despite practitioners' needs for structural space models. Moreover, commercial tools to build virtual reality space have the disadvantage of targeting people who have professional knowledge of computer programs and computer graphics. Accordingly, the 3D virtual reality authoring tool developed in this research - called the VESL system - enables virtual and structural space to be easily composed using intuitive and interactive visual interfaces, which are based on visual programming techniques. The VESL system also provides an XML based semantic description of interior space, to be used to describe interior space information. We anticipate that the virtual reality spaces composed by this system will be of considerable use in the fields of architecture and interior design. Further research issues identified at the end of the research include developing a converter/filter for transforming Internet virtual reality standard language, or VRML, and evaluating the application of the system for practical use.

In this paper to cope with the reduction of products life-cycle as the variety of products along with the various demands of consumers, a virtual simulator is developed to make the changeover of manufacturing line efficient to embody a virtual simulation similar to a real manufacturing line. The developed virtual simulator can design a layout of a factory and make the time scheduling. Every factory has one simulator so that one product can be manufactured in the factories to use them as virtual factories. We suggest a scheme that heightens the ability to the diversity of manufacturing models by making the information of manufacturing lines and products models to be shared. The developed system embodies a virtual manufacturing line on the simulation using various manipulators and work cells as manufacturing components. we develop a virtual simulator system on Window 98/NT environment of Microsoft, operating system using of the greater part of PC user. Window program have a merit making GUI environment that programmer can use without the expert knowledge about hardware. A suer with the simulator can utilize an interface that makes one to manage the separate task process for each manufacturing module, change operator components and work cells, and easily teach tasks of each task module.

A virtual laboratory for measurement and instrumentation must aim to realize an integrated environment. To achieve this goal, we designed and implemented a client/server distributed environment and developed a web-based virtual laboratory system for electronic circuits. The proposed virtual laboratory system is composed of four important components : Principle Classroom, Virtual Experiment Classroom, Evaluation Classroom and Overall Management System. Through our virtual laboratory, the learners will be capable of learning the concepts and theories related to electronic circuit experiments and how to operate the experimental equipments. Also, every activity occurred in our virtual laboratory is recorded on database and printed out on the preliminary report form. All of these can be achieved by the aid of the Management System. The database connectivity is made by PHP and the virtual laboratory environment is set up slightly differently for each learner. Finally, we have obtained several affirmative effects such as reducing the total experimental hours and the damage rate for experimental equipments and increasing learning efficiencies as well as faculty productivity.

As CNC machine tool is one of core elements of manufacturing system, it is much important that it remains without troubleshoots. As a virtual machine is a recent alternative using IT for optimal utilization of CNC machine tool, it is a computer model that represents a CNC machine tool. But a virtual machine is still conceptual. So, in this paper, it is proposed that a virtual machine be a realistic model in the fault diagnosis module. For this purpose, the fault diagnosis system of machine tool using CORBA and fault diagnosis expert system has been implemented. Using this system, we have expections to diagnose exactly and prompty without the restriction of time or location, to reduce MTTR(Mean Time To Repair) and finally to increase the availability of manufacturing system.

Recently. internet applications for efficient cyber education have drawn much interests. The world-wide web provides new opportunities for cyber education over the internet. This paper presents a virtual lab system which can be used on the world-wide web. The proposed virtual lab system provides the improved learning methods which can enhance the educational efficiency in electrical engineering experiments. If the students enter the virtual lab system on the web. they can make experiments on basic electrical and electronic principles through simple mouse manipulation. Since proposed virtual lab system is implemented to describe the actual lab system. the students can obtain similar experimental data through it. Several sample Java applets are illustrated as examples.

Nowadays, manufacturing industries undergo constantly growing pressures for global competitions, and they must shorten time and cost in product development and production to response varied customers' requirements. Digital virtual manufacturing is a technology that can facilitate effective product development and agile production by using digital models representing the physical and logical schema and the behavior of real manufacturing systems including products, processes, manufacturing resources and plants. For successful applications of this technology, a digital virtual factory as a well-designed and integrated environment is essential. In this paper, we developed a new classification and coding system for effective managements of digital virtual factory objects, and implement a supporting application to verify and apply it. Furthermore, a digital virtual factory layout management system based on the classification and coding system has developed using XML, Visual Basic.NET and FactoryCAD. By some case studies for automotive general assembly shops of a Korean automotive company, efficient management of factory objects and reduction of time and cost in digital virtual factory constructions are possible.

Most of virtual reality systems ask users to control 3D objects or to navigate 3D world using 3D controllers. To maximize the human performance in the control, the design of virtual reality system and its input and output devices should be optimized. In this study, an experiment was designed to investigate the effects of three resolution factors of a virtual reality system on the human performance. Six subjects conducted the experiment for the factors; two frame rates, three spatial resolutions, and three pictorial contents. The result showed that the greater the spatial resolution was, the higher the human performance was. For the temporal resolution, fixed frame rate at 18 Hz was better than the varied maximized frame rate. For the pictorial contents, the virtual space with orientation cues marked the greatest performance than the other two conditions; the virtual space without any orientation cue and the virtual space like real world. These results could be applied for the design of virtual reality systems.

Recently, the importance of simulation validation in a virtual environment for autonomous driving system validation is increasing. At the same time, interest in the advancement of the virtual driving environment is also increasing. To develop autonomous driving technology, a simulation environment similar to the real-world environment is needed. For this reason, not only the road model is configured in the virtual driving environment, but also the driving environment configuration that includes the surrounding environments -traffic, object, etc- is necessary. In this article, FMTC, which is a test bed for autonomous vehicles, is implemented in a virtual environment and advanced to form a virtual driving environment similar to that of real FMTC. In addition, the similarity of the virtual driving environment is verified through comparative analysis with the real FMTC.
