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.

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.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate key user experience factors of interactions for Head Mounted Display (HMD) devices in the Virtual Reality Environment (VRE). Background: Virtual reality interaction research has been conducted steadily, while interaction methods and virtual reality devices have improved. Recently, all of the virtual reality devices are head mounted display based ones. Also, HMD-based interaction types include Remote Controller, Head Tracking, and Hand Gesture. However, there is few study on usability evaluation of virtual reality. Especially, the usability of HMD-based virtual reality was not investigated. Therefore, it is necessary to study the usability of HMD-based virtual reality. Method: HMD-based VR devices released recently have only three interaction types, 'Remote Controller', 'Head Tracking', and 'Hand Gesture'. We search 113 types of research to check the user experience factors or evaluation scales by interaction type. Finally, the key user experience factors or relevant evaluation scales are summarized considering the frequency used in the studies. Results: There are various key user experience factors by each interaction type. First, Remote controller's key user experience factors are 'Ease of learning', 'Ease of use', 'Satisfaction', 'Effectiveness', and 'Efficiency'. Also, Head tracking's key user experience factors are 'Sickness', 'Immersion', 'Intuitiveness', 'Stress', 'Fatigue', and 'Ease of learning'. Finally, Hand gesture's key user experience factors are 'Ease of learning', 'Ease of use', 'Feedback', 'Consistent', 'Simple', 'Natural', 'Efficiency', 'Responsiveness', 'Usefulness', 'Intuitiveness', and 'Adaptability'. Conclusion: We identified key user experience factors for each interaction type through literature review. However, we did not consider objective measures because each study adopted different performance factors. Application: The results of this study can be used when evaluating HMD-based interactions in virtual reality in terms of usability.

현대사회는 정보화 사회로 모든 사람들이 빠르고 정확한 정보를 필요로 하고 있으며 이러한 정보를 신속히 받아들여 생활에 활용하기를 원한다. 또한 현실의 한정된 공간과 시간에 구애받지 않고 보다 자유로이 상상의 세계를 현실과 같이 경험하고자 한다. 디자인은 '무'에서 '유'를 만들어내는 창조적인 행위로써 '가상'(Virtual)적인 의미를 내포하고 있다. 따라서 디자인은 상상 속에 존재하는 형태나 이미지를 실제로 재현하기 위한 '가상의 현실화'(Reality of Virtuality)작업이라 말할 수 있다. 디자인 분야는 과거로부터 현재까지 컴퓨터 응용 방법들이 많이 활용되었다. 컴퓨터의 발전과 함께 디자인 과정 또한 시간적으로나 방법적으로 간편화되었고 또한 효율적으로 발전하였는데 이러한 의미에서 컴퓨터는 디자인에 지대한 영향을 미치는 하드웨어임에는 틀림이 없다. 이번 연구는 환경디자인(Environmental Design)에 적용되고 있는 컴퓨터 활용 방법에 대해 알아보고 단순한 활용에서 적극적이고 체계적인 방법으로의 모색을 통해 현실감(Presence)을 극대화하여 이를 설계에 적극적으로 도입하는 방안에 대하여 연구하고자 한다. 현재 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 가상현실 시스템(Virtual Reality System)을 환경디자인(Environmental Design)분야에 폭 넓게 활용하여 수준 높은 설계를 제공하고 모의실험을 통한 현실감의 극대화를 도출하고자 하며 앞으로 가상현실 시스템(Virtual Reality System)과 같은 다양한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 기법들이 환경디자인에 적극적으로 도입될 전망이다.
