초록

본 연구의 목적은 완전몰입 가상현실이 자율신경계에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 있다. 본 연구의 대상자는 가상현실 장비를 접하지 않은 17명의 20대 남성으로 하였다. 대상자에게 완전몰입 가상현실 콘텐츠를 제공받았고, 적용 전과 후에 5분 동안의 심전도 신호를 측정하였다. 획득한 심전도 신호는 교감신경계의 활성을 반영하는 LF, 부교감신경계의 활성을 반영하는 HF, 자율신경계의 전반적인 활성을 반영하는 TP, 그리고 자율신경계의 활성 균형을 반영하는 LF/HF로 분석하여 자율신경계를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 완전몰입 가상현실을 적용한 후 대상자의 HF와 TP는 적용 전에 비해 유의하게 감소하였고, LF/HF는 유의하게 증가하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 완전몰입 가상현실은 자율신경계에 스트레스를 제공하지만, 그 변화는 건강한 성인의 정상범위 내에 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 완전몰입 가상현실은 건강한 성인에게 안전하게 적용될 수 있다.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of full immersion virtual reality (VR) on the autonomic nervous system. The study was conducted with 17 men in their 20s. The subjects were given full immersion VR content, and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were measured for five minutes before and after the application of the full immersion VR. The autonomic nervous system was evaluated by analyzing the LF, HF, TP, and LF/HF ratio of the ECG signal. The obtained data was analyzed by conducting a paired sample t-test. After applying full immersion VR, the subjects' HF and TP decreased significantly, while their LF/HF ratio increased significantly. According to the results of this study, Full immersion VR provided stress to the autonomic nervous system, but the changes were within the normal range of healthy adults. Therefore, full immersion VR can be safely applied to healthy adults.
