초록

최근 스마트폰의 대중화 및 저가형 헤드 마운트 디스플레이(head mounted display, HMD) 보급으로 가상현실(virtual reality, VR)이 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있다. VR HMD는 시각, 청각 등 인간의 감각기관을 통해 실제와 같은 체험을 가능케하는 인터페이스 기기이다. 양안 디스플레이, 360도 콘텐츠 구현, 깊이 정보에 의해 구현됨에 따라 인간의 여러 감각기능 중 시각과 관련이 있다. 기존의 연구는 주로 멀미, 시각피로와 같은 유해성 측면에 대한 감소 방안 연구가 주로 이루어졌으며, 시각 치료 등에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문은 VR HMD 에서의 비전 테라피 활용을 위한 기술 요소 도출 및 활용 가능 분야를 알아본다. 이를 위해 기존 사례연구 및 기술 요소를 분석하여 비전 테라피 16 분야를 도출하였고, VR HMD 시표 활용을 위한 광학적 파라미터를 도출하였다. 본 연구 결과는 VR HMD 기반을 둔 비전 테라피 시표 개발에 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.

Thanks to mass production and provision of smartphones and the HMD (head mounted display), VR (virtual reality) is now being applied to various areas. The VR HMD is the interface equipment which allows users to have realistic experiences through human sensory organs such as vision and auditory sense. Since the majority of VR equipment is operated by the display for both eyes, 360-degree video content and the depth information, the VR mechanism is closely related to human senses, especially vision. Previous studies have focused on how to minimize negative impact such as motion sickness or visual fatigue. Little attention has been paid on research about the visual treatment. Therefore, the focus of this study is to develop technical elements for utilization of vision therapy with the VR HMD and explore possible areas to apply it. To this end, we analyzed the past case studies and technical elements to identify 16 areas for vision therapy. We also developed the optical parameters for utilization of the VR HMD visual targets. The result of this study is expected to be utilized for development of visual targets for vision therapy based on the VR HMD.
