초록

최근 가상현실 콘텐츠는 게임, 교육, 의료, 전시, 영화, SNS 등 여러 영역에서 실험되고 있으며 도입되고 있다. 하지만 가상현실에 대한 연구는 주로 산업적, 기술적 관점에 치우쳐 있어, 콘텐츠 중심 또는 콘텐츠 관점에서의 가상현실에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 가상현실의 미래를 제대로 준비하기 위해서는 기술 중심의 연구에서 벗어나 콘텐츠 중심의 연구가 매우 절실하다. 이에 본 연구는 콘텐츠 관점에서의 가상현실 연구의 필요성을 제기하였으며, 그 구체적인 대상으로 테마파크에 적용된 가상현실 콘텐츠의 유형과 특성 그리고 가능성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 가상현실 기반 테마파크 콘텐츠 유형의 분류를 시도하였고, 유형 분류의 기준으로는 플레이어의 위치 이동 가능성 및 이동 방식에 따라 '고정형', '연속적 이동형', '분절적 이동형'으로 나누고 여기에 촉각, 미각, 후각, 균형감 등의 감각이 결합되는 방식에 따른 분류법을 제시하였다.

Recently, virtual reality contents are being experimented and introduced in various fields such as game, education, medical, exhibition, movie, SNS. However, research on virtual reality is mainly focused on industrial and technological perspectives, so contents-centric or contents-oriented research is on virtual reality is very rare. In order to prepare for the future of virtual reality properly, content-oriented research is very much needed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the types, characteristics, and possibilities of virtual reality contents applied to theme parks. For this purpose, we tried to classify the contents type of virtual reality based theme park. The criteria of type classification are divided into 'fixed type', 'continuous moving type', and 'segmented moving type' according to the player's position movement possibility and movement type, here we combine the senses such as tactile, taste, smell, balance etc.
