The simulator 2000 may be configured to provide an experienced person with an image and a movement received from the producer (not shown).

In detail, the simulator 2000 may control an image device 2100 that provides an image to an experienced person, a vehicle 2200 that provides a motion to an experienced person, and controls the image device 2100 and the vehicle 2200. It may include a controller (not shown).

The imaging device 2100 is intended to enable an experienced person to experience as if exposed to the first space through vision, and may include an image display unit (display liquid crystal) through which an image is emitted.

The boarding device 2200 is for enabling the experiencer to experience the same experience as being exposed to the first space through physical movement, and provides a boarding unit 2220 and a boarding unit 2220 that provide a space in which the experienced person can ride. It may include a driver 2240 for generating a movement by generating a movement in the).

The boarding unit 2220 may include a chair 2221 in which an experienced person can sit, a seat belt (not shown) that prevents the experienced person from being separated from the chair 2221, and a handle 2223 that can be gripped by the experienced person to psychologically stabilize the experienced person. ) May be included.

In addition, the boarding unit 2220 prevents the cradle (not shown) from which the imaging device 2100 is detachably mounted, and the imaging device 2100 prevents the imaging device 2100 from moving away from a predetermined distance from the cradle (not shown). The separation prevention means (not shown), a power cable (not shown) for supplying power from the holder (not shown) to the image device 2100 side may be further included.

The driving unit 2240 may be formed to provide a physical movement to the experienced person as if the experienced person rides on a real device while being relatively limited in space. That is, the operation displayed in the experience image may not be provided through the actual mechanism, but may be provided by the driving unit 2240 operated in a predetermined limited space narrower than the space in which the actual apparatus is operated.

The driving unit 2240 may be formed in various configurations to move the boarding unit 2220 in three dimensions, but in the present embodiment, the space required for installation of the driving unit 2240 is minimized, but in the space In order to maximize the degree of freedom of movement in the vehicle 2220 may be formed to generate pitching (Yawing), rolling (Rolling) and reciprocating motion.

Specifically, the driving unit 2240 is a track 2244 extending in one linear direction on a support (for example, the ground) that supports the driving unit 2240, the reciprocating along the track (2244) A tracker 2245 formed to be movable, a first mechanism 2241 supported by the tracker 2245 and rotatably formed about a first axis, and supported by the first mechanism 2241 and the first A second mechanism 2242 that is rotatably formed with respect to a second axis perpendicular to one axis, and a second mechanism 2242 supported by the second mechanism 2242 and rotatably formed with respect to a third axis perpendicular to the second axis; It may include a third mechanism 2243 coupled to the vehicle 2220.

The track 2244 may be extended by a predetermined distance range (eg, 0 (zero) or more and 10 m or less) along one straight line direction to provide the experienced person with sufficient reciprocating motion. Here, the track 2244 may be formed longer than 10m, in which case the installation cost is increased due to the increased space required to install the track 2244, but the effect (movement effect to the experienced person) compared to the cost (installation cost increase) Increase) is not large, so it may be desirable to form less than 10 m.

In addition, the track 2244 may extend in a direction perpendicular to gravity in order to save energy required for reciprocating motion. That is, when the track 2244 is formed to be inclined with the ground, the tracker 2245 takes considerable energy to overcome the gravity and climb the incline, so that the track 2244 of the present embodiment is grounded to prevent an increase in required energy caused by gravity. It may be formed extending parallel to.

The tracker 2245 may include a fourth actuator (not shown) that is formed in a vehicle shape that is movable along the track 2244 and generates a driving force necessary for reciprocating movement of the tracker 2245.

The first mechanism 2241 is armed from a first mechanism first portion 2241a and the first mechanism first portion 2241a that is rotatably supported on the tracker 2245 about the first axis. And a first portion of the second portion 2241b extending in the form of and supporting the second portion 2242.

A first actuator (not shown) may be formed between the tracker 2245 and the first mechanism first portion 2241a to generate a driving force required to rotate the first mechanism 2241.

The second mechanism 2242 is a second mechanism first portion (not shown) and the second mechanism first portion (not shown) that are rotatably supported on the first mechanism second portion 2241b with respect to the second axis. And a second appliance second portion 2242b extending annularly from the back surface. Here, the second mechanism first portion (not shown) may extend from the outer circumference of the second mechanism second portion 2242b radially outward of the second mechanism second portion 2242b.

A second actuator (not shown) may be formed between the first mechanism second portion 2241b and the second mechanism first portion (not shown) to generate a driving force required to rotate the second mechanism 2242. have.

The third mechanism 2243 is formed in an annular shape accommodated in the second mechanism second portion 2242b and is rotatably supported on the second mechanism second portion 2242b about the third axis. A third mechanism second portion 2243b extending radially inward of the third instrument first portion 2243a from the inner circumference of the instrument first portion 2243a and the third instrument first portion 2243a. It may include.

A third actuator (not shown) may be formed between the second mechanism second portion 2242b and the third mechanism first portion 2243a to generate a driving force required for rotation of the third mechanism 2243. .

Here, the third actuator (2243) is the third actuator (not shown) with the entire outer circumferential surface of the third mechanism first portion (2243a) facing the entire inner circumferential surface of the second mechanism second portion (2242b). It can be formed so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the second portion (2222b) of the second mechanism.

The boarding unit 2220 (or more accurately, the chair 2221) may be fastened to the second portion 2243b of the third mechanism.

Here, in the present embodiment, the degrees of freedom of movement that the driving unit 2240 exerts on the boarding unit 2220 are 4 degrees of freedom (reciprocating motion in the pitching, yawing, rolling and track extension directions). The degree of freedom of movement perceived by the experienced person may be formed to be, for example, six degrees of freedom (pitching, yawing, rolling, experienced reciprocating motion of the experienced person, lateral reciprocating motion of the experienced person, and up and down reciprocating motion of the experienced person). That is, the driver 2240 may have more degrees of freedom of movement perceived by the experienced person than degrees of freedom of movement applied to the experienced person.

Specifically, as a result of the experiment, the experiencer perceives the movement of the experiencer through visual stimulation and physical stimulation. When the physical stimulus is received at a speed higher than a predetermined speed while the visual field is obscured, the experiencer recognizes the physical stimulus, When a physical stimulus was received at a rate lower than the determined rate, it was found that the physical stimulus was not recognized.

By using this, in the present embodiment, the video device 2100 is formed so that an experienced person can only view an image provided by the video device 2100, and the boarding unit 2220 is one of at least one of pitching, yawing and rolling. Rotated and arranged in a predetermined position (a position parallel to the direction of extension of the track 2244 and the linear movement direction to be provided to the experienced person) (hereinafter referred to as positioning) and then in one linear direction along the track 2244. The vehicle 2220 is reciprocated, and is smaller than a predetermined angular velocity (the smallest angular velocity of the angular velocity at which the experienced person can feel the rotation of the vehicle 2220 with a physical stimulus applied to the experienced person) when positioned. Rotated at an angular velocity, the image device 2100 provides an image in which the rotation of the vehicle 2220 is excluded, so that the experienced person does not recognize the positioning. Game 2220 may be formed to cause the illusion that only in the extending direction of the track (2244), but the reciprocating motion, and who experience movement in the extending direction and the other linear direction of the track (2244).

For example, in order to give the experienced person a stimulus that seems to move forward, first, the boarding unit 2220 is rotated at an angular speed smaller than the predetermined angular speed so that the front and rear direction of the experienced person extends the track 2244. Parallel to the direction, but the front of the experiencer is positioned toward one end (2244a) of the track (2244), the image device does not provide an image corresponding to the positioning. After the positioning is completed, the boarding unit 2220 is moved along the track 2244 toward one end 2244a of the track 2244, and the image device is provided with a forward moving image, thereby forwarding to the experienced person. It can provide a moving stimulus.

In addition, in order to give a stimulus as if it moves to the left side, first, the boarding unit 2220 is rotated at an angular velocity smaller than the predetermined angular velocity so that the left and right directions of the experienced person extend the track 2244. Parallel to the direction, but the left side of the experiencer is positioned toward one end (2244a) of the track (2244), the image device does not provide an image corresponding to the positioning. After the positioning is completed, the boarding unit 2220 is moved along the track 2244 toward one end 2244a of the track 2244, and the imaging apparatus provides an image moving to the left. It can provide a stimulus that seems to move in the left direction.

And, in order to give a stimulus that seems to move upward to the experienced person, first, the boarding unit 2220 is rotated at an angular velocity smaller than the predetermined angular velocity, so that the up and down direction of the experienced person and the extension direction of the track (2244). In parallel, the upper part of the experiencer is positioned to face one end 2244a of the track 2244, and the image apparatus does not provide an image corresponding to the positioning. After the positioning is completed, the boarding unit 2220 is moved along the track 2244 to one end 2244a of the track 2244, and the imaging apparatus provides an image moving upward. It can provide a stimulus that seems to move upward.

In addition, depending on positioning, the boarding portion 2220 is reciprocated along the track 2244, but the stimulus appears to move to the experienced person in any axial direction as well as backward movement, rightward movement, downward movement. Can be provided.

On the other hand, as the boarding unit 2220 is reciprocated within the predetermined range, there may be a limit to the stimulus that the experiencer is likely to move beyond the predetermined range. However, in the experience apparatus according to the present embodiment, similar to the principle of increasing the degree of freedom described above, although the boarding unit 2220 reciprocates within the predetermined range, the experienced person moves beyond the predetermined range. It can be formed to be stimulated.

Specifically, as described above, the imaging device 2100 is formed such that an experienced person can only view an image provided by the imaging device 2100, and the boarding unit 2220 reciprocates within the predetermined distance range. When exercised, the boarding unit 2220 may be configured to provide an image of moving a farther distance than the predetermined distance range. In addition, the boarding unit 2220 may experience a reciprocating motion only by a physical stimulus with a physical stimulus, in which the visual field is blocked by a predetermined speed (a visual device 2100) within a predetermined distance range only in an acceleration state or a deceleration state. And the smallest of the speeds). Thereby, although the boarding portion 2220 is reciprocated within the predetermined distance range, the experienced person may be stimulated to move a distance farther than the predetermined distance.

For example, in a situation of ski jumping, the video device 2100 advances 80 m in the x-axis direction (direction perpendicular to gravity) and descends by 50 m in the z-axis direction (gravity direction) during the driving period. To provide an image that moves forward by 100m in the x-axis and rises by 30m in the z-axis during the leap period, and advances by 120m in the x-axis and descends by 70m in the z-axis during the flight. It is possible to provide an image which advances by 60 m in the x-axis direction and descends by 10 m in the z-axis direction in the landing period.

On the other hand, in the case of the boarding portion 2220, the direction between the front and the lower part of the experienced person is positioned parallel to the extension direction of the track 2244 while facing the one end 2244a of the track 2244 during the beginning of the driving period. In a state, it may be moved along the track 2244 toward one end 2244a of the track 2244 at a speed above the predetermined speed. During the mid to late half of the driving period, the upper part of the experienced person on the one end portion 2244a side of the track 2244 is positioned in parallel with the extension direction of the track 2244 and toward the other end 2244b of the track 2244. Can be. And, during the beginning of the hopping period, it may be moved along the track 2244 to the other end 2244b side of the track 2244 at a speed above the predetermined speed. During the mid to late half of the hopping period, the lower part of the experienced person on the other end 2244b side of the track 2244 is positioned to be parallel to the extending direction of the track 2244 and toward the one end 2244a of the track 2244. Can be. And, during the early stage of the flight, it may be moved along the track 2244 to one end 2244a of the track 2244 at a speed above the predetermined speed. Then, during the mid to late half of the flight period, the rear end and the lower direction of the experienced person on one end 2244a side of the track 2244 is parallel to the direction of extension of the track 2244, but the other end 2244b of the track 2244. Can be positioned facing. And, during the early landing period, the track 2244 may be moved toward the other end 2244b of the track 2244 at a speed higher than the predetermined speed. And, during the middle and the second half of the landing period, positioning for the getting off of the experienced person on the other end 2244b side of the track 2244 may be made.

However, the experiencer is provided with a movement that moves forward by 80m in the x-axis direction and descends by 50m in the z-axis direction throughout the driving period, and moves forward by 100m in the x-axis direction and ascends 30m in the z-axis direction throughout the leap period. Receive a movement of 120m in the x-axis and 70m in the z-axis during flight, and a movement of 60m in the x-axis and 10m in the z-axis during landing. It can be recognized.

The controller (not shown) is formed of a server or a computer electrically connected to the producer (not shown), the imaging device 2100, and the vehicle 2200, and controls an image device 2100. The controller may include a controller configured to control the driver 2240 and an integrated controller configured to control the image controller and the driver controller.

Here, the experience apparatus according to the present embodiment is an image (experimental person) corresponding to the field of view of the experiencer among the images surrounding the experiencer (hereinafter referred to as omnidirectional image) so that the experiencer can actually see the same image as actually entering the first space. It may be formed in a manner (hereinafter, the field corresponding image providing method) to provide an image in the direction that the eyes of the () direction (hereinafter, the field corresponding image).

In detail, the producer (not shown) forms the first to n-th images as omnidirectional images, and the simulator 2000 includes a specific portion (experimental eye) of each omnidirectional image formed by the producer (not shown).

More specifically, the imaging device 2100 may be formed of, for example, a head mount display (HMD) mounted on the head of an experienced person, and may include a first detection unit that detects movement of the imaging device 2100. Not shown) may be further included. Here, the first detection unit (not shown) may be formed of, for example, a gyro sensor or an acceleration sensor.

The controller (not shown) periodically receives a measurement value of the first detector (not shown) (movement of the imaging device 2100 detected through the first detector (not shown)), 1 to calculate the field of view of the experience person based on the measured value of the detection unit (not shown), and to send an image corresponding to the field of view of the experienced person among the omnidirectional images stored in the controller (not shown) to the image display unit ( The image display unit may be formed to reproduce an image received from a controller (not shown).

However, in this case, the movement of the imaging device 2100 detected through the first detection unit (not shown) may be changed not only by changing the gaze of the experienced person but also by the movement of the vehicle 2200 (exactly, the boarding unit 2220). May be affected. For example, even when the passenger device 2200 moves upward but the experiencer keeps the gaze forward, the first detector (not shown) may detect that the imaging device 2100 is moved upward. have. As a result, when the experienced person changes the gaze while the vehicle 2200 is not moving, the movement of the imaging device 2100 detected through the first detector (not shown) is changed by the experienced person's gaze. In accordance with the movement of the device 2100, the field of view of the experience person calculated from the measured value of the first detection unit (not shown) may match the field of view of the actual experience person. However, when the vehicle 2200 moves, the movement of the imaging device 2100 detected through the first detection unit (not shown) does not coincide with the movement of the imaging device 2100 due to the change of the gaze of the experienced person. The visual field of the experienced person calculated from the measured value of the first detector (not shown) may not coincide with the actual visual field.

In consideration of this, the experience apparatus according to the present embodiment is formed in a manner of excluding the movement of the imaging device 2100 due to the movement of the vehicle 2200 during the field of view calculation of the experience person (hereinafter, referred to as a field correction method). Can be. That is, the vehicle 2200 includes a second detector (not shown) that detects movement of the vehicle 2200, and the controller (not shown) is a measured value of the first detector (not shown). Subtracts the measured value of the second detection unit (not shown) (movement of the image unit according to the movement of the boarding device 2200) and subtracts the view of the experienced person from the subtracted value (movement of the image unit according to the change of the field of view of the user). Can be configured to compute.

That is, the angle from the reference vector (for example, the vector toward the experiencer at the start of the experience) α to the vector β in the visual direction viewed by the experiencer is referred to as the first angle θ1, When the angle from the vector α to the vector γ that is forward toward the experienced person is referred to as the second angle θ2, the first detector (not shown) detects the first angle θ1. To the controller (not shown), and the second detector (not shown) detects the second angle θ2 and sends it to the controller (not shown), and the controller (not shown) The second angle θ2 may be subtracted from the first angle θ1, and the visual field of the experience person may be calculated from the subtracted values θ1-θ2. As a result, an image corresponding to a field of view of an actual user may be provided.

Here, the second detection unit (not shown) may be formed of a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, or the like installed in the boarding unit 2220, or may sense movement of each actuator of the driving unit 2240 to move the boarding unit 2220. It may be formed by a sensor interface method that can be calculated.

On the other hand, when the image shown in the imaging device 2100 and the movement provided by the vehicle 2200 do not correspond to each other, the experiencer may feel heterogeneity, immersion may decrease, and as a result, the reality may decrease. .

In consideration of this, the experience apparatus according to the present embodiment may be formed such that the image shown by the imaging device 2100 and the movement provided by the vehicle 2200 correspond to each other. That is, the visual movement and the physical movement may be formed to be synchronized with each other.

Specifically, the image and the motion through the producer (not shown) to first correspond to the image and the movement, and the image and the motion through the simulator 2000 to correspond to the image and the movement secondary to each other Can be formed.

More specifically, the producer (not shown) defines the timeline as described above, defines the first to nth images (first database) based on the timeline, and refers to the timeline. It can be formed to define the first to n-th movement (second database).

In addition, the simulator 2000 may provide an image to the experienced person based on the timeline by the video device 2100 based on the timeline, the first database, and the second database. The device 2200 may be configured to provide a user with a movement based on the timeline.

That is, the integrated control unit may be configured to sequentially send the first to nth time stamps to the image control unit and the driving control unit at a predetermined time interval (for example, 10 ms) based on the time line. have.

The image controller selects an image corresponding to the time stamp received from the integrated controller from among the first to nth images by substituting the time stamp received from the integrated controller into the first database and selecting the selected image. The image may be configured to send an image corresponding to a field of view to the image display unit.

The driving control unit substitutes the time stamp received from the integrated control unit into the second database, selects a movement corresponding to the time stamp received from the integrated control unit among the first to nth movements, and drives the driving unit. And may be configured to send to 2240.

In addition, the simulator 2000 advances the target image (the image to be provided by the image device 2100) and the actual image (the image provided by the image device 2100) in order to continuously synchronize the image and the movement during the experience. Compare and match at a predetermined frequency (eg, 60 Hz) at intervals, and determine a predetermined time between the target movement (movement that should be provided by the boarding machine 2200) and the actual movement (movement provided by the boarding machine 2200) It may be configured to compare and match at intervals (eg, 12 ms).

In order to describe this in more detail, hereinafter, a time stamp corresponding to the target image and the target movement among the first to nth time stamps (a time stamp sent from an integrated control unit) is called a target time stamp, and the actual The time stamp corresponding to the image (time stamp sent to the image display unit) is called an actual image time stamp, and the time stamp corresponding to the actual movement (time stamp sent to the driver 2240) is called an actual movement time stamp.

In this case, the simulator 2000 may be configured to compare the target time stamp with the actual image time stamp to compare whether the target image matches the actual image. In addition, when the actual image time stamp is earlier than the target time stamp, the simulator 2000 may be configured to provide the image at a speed higher than a predetermined speed. And, if the actual image time stamp is later than the target time stamp, the simulator 2000 may be configured to provide the image at a speed slower than a predetermined speed.

In addition, the simulator 2000 may be configured to compare the target time stamp with the actual motion time stamp to compare whether the target image matches the actual motion. In addition, when the actual motion time stamp is earlier than the target time stamp, the simulator 2000 may be formed such that the driver 2240 provides the motion at a speed higher than a predetermined speed. The simulator 2000 may be configured such that the driver 2240 provides the motion at a slower speed than a predetermined speed when the actual motion time stamp is later than the target time stamp.

Here, the actual motion time stamp may be formed to be calculated from the second database. That is, the measured value of the second detector (not shown) detected at a predetermined time interval (for example, 12 ms) is inserted into the second database and corresponds to the measured value of the second detector (not shown). The time stamp may be configured to be calculated as the actual motion time stamp. In this case, the burden applied to the controller (not shown) is somewhat increased, but it is not necessary to add a separate device for calculating the actual motion time stamp can be reduced costs.

Alternatively, the actual motion time stamp may be formed to be calculated from a separate timer that counts the time when the driving unit 2240 is operated. That is, the time of the timer extracted at a predetermined time interval (for example, 12 ms) may be formed to be calculated as the actual motion time stamp. In this case, the cost increases slightly as a separate device (timer) for calculating the actual motion time stamp is added, but the burden applied to the controller (not shown) can be reduced.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the experience apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described.

That is, when the timeline, the first database, and the second database, which are previously formed in the producer (not shown), are stored in the simulator 2000, and the experiencer rides on the simulator 2000, the experience is Can be started.

When the experience begins, the simulator 2000 may be configured to experience the first space through the imaging device 2100, the vehicle 2200, and the controller (not shown) according to the following control method. Movement may be provided to the experiencer.

In detail, in the first step S1, the integrated controller may store the first time stamp, which is the first time stamp, as the target time stamp.

Next, in the second step S2, the integrated control unit may simultaneously send the target time stamp stored in the integrated control unit to the image control unit and the driving control unit.

Next, in step 3-1-1, the image control unit substitutes the target time stamp received through the second step S2 into the first database so that the first to nth images ( Among the omnidirectional images, an image corresponding to the target time stamp may be selected.

Next, in step 3-1-2 (S312), the first detector (not shown) sends the measured value of the first detector (not shown) to the image controller, and the second detector (not shown). ) May send the measured value of the second detector (not shown) to the image controller.

Next, in step 3-1-3 (S313), the image controller calculates the visual field of the experience person based on the measured value of the first detector (not shown) and the measured value of the second detector (not shown). can do.

Next, in step 3-1-4 (S314), the image control unit performs step 3-1-3 (S313) of the image (front-directional image) selected in step 3-1-1 (S311). An image corresponding to the calculated visual field of the experienced person may be selected and sent to the image display unit.

Next, in step 3-1-5 (S315), the image display unit may play back the images received through the step 3-1-4 (S314), respectively.

On the other hand, in the 3-2-1 step (S321), the driving control unit substitutes the target time stamp received through the second step (S2) into the second database to perform the operation during the first to nth movements. A motion corresponding to a target time stamp may be selected and the selected motion may be sent to the driver 2240.

Next, in step 3-2-2 (S322), the driver 2240 may perform a movement received through step 3-2-1 (S321).

On the other hand, if at least one of the steps 3-1-4 (S314) and the step 3-2-2 (S322) is finished, in the fourth step (S4), the integrated control unit may determine whether the experience has ended. Can be. That is, the integrated controller can determine whether the target time stamp stored in the integrated controller matches the nth time stamp that is the final time stamp.

In the fourth step S4, when it is determined that the experience has ended (when the target time stamp coincides with the nth time stamp), the experience ends, and when it is determined that the experience is in progress (the target time stamp is In case of inconsistency with the n th time stamp, the process may proceed to a fifth step S5 to be described later.

In a fifth step S5, the integrated controller may determine whether a predetermined time (interval between time stamps) has elapsed since the target time stamp is sent in the second step S2.

In the fifth step S5, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the sixth step S6 to be described later, and when it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the following 7-1 The process may proceed simultaneously to step -1 (S711) and step 7-2-1 (S721) to be described later.

In a sixth step S6, the integrated control unit may store the next time stamp of the time stamp previously stored as the target time stamp as a new target time stamp. For example, when the time stamp previously stored as the target time stamp is the first time stamp, the second time stamp may be stored as a new target time stamp.

After the sixth step S6 ends, the second step S2 may be returned.

In operation 7711-1, the image controller may calculate an actual image time stamp.

Next, in step 7-1-2 (S712), the image controller receives the target time received through the second step (S2) of the actual video time stamp calculated in step 7-1-1 (S711). It can be determined whether it matches the stamp.

If it is determined that the target time stamp matches the actual video time stamp in step 7-1-2 (S712), the process returns to step 3312 (S312), and the target time stamp and the actual video time stamp are returned. If it is determined that the stamp is inconsistent, it may proceed to step 7-1-3 (S713) to be described later.

In operation 7713-3, the image controller determines whether it is earlier than the actual image time stamp target time stamp.

If it is determined that the time is earlier than the actual video time stamp target time stamp in step 7-1-3, the process proceeds to step 7-1-4 (S714), which will be described later, and the actual video time stamp target. If it is determined that the time later than the time stamp, the process may proceed to step 7-1-5 (S715) to be described later.

In operation 7714-4, the image control unit reproduces the images between the image corresponding to the actual image time stamp and the image corresponding to the target time stamp at a reproduction speed faster than a predetermined reproduction speed. Instructions may be given to the image display unit.

When the 7-1-4 step S714 is completed, the process returns to the 3-1-2 step S312.

In operation 7715, the image controller may instruct the image display unit to reproduce images after the image corresponding to the actual image time stamp at a reproduction speed slower than a predetermined reproduction speed. Alternatively, the video controller may instruct the video display unit to repeatedly play the video corresponding to the actual video time stamp.

When the step 7-1-5 is completed (S715), it may be returned to the step 3-1-2 (S312).

Here, the steps 7-1-1 to 7-1-5 (S711 to S715) may be performed at predetermined frequency intervals (for example, 60 Hz).

When it is determined in step 7-1-2 that the target time stamp matches the actual video time stamp, or when step 7-1-4 S714 ends, or in step 7-1- When step 5 (S715) is finished, the process returns to step 3-1-2 (S312) in order to reflect the fluctuation of the visual field of the experienced person.

On the other hand, in step 7-2-1 (S721), the second detector (not shown) may send the measured value (actual movement of the driver 2240) of the second detector (not shown) to the drive controller. have.

Next, in operation 7-2-2 (S722), the driving control unit performs an actual motion stamp based on the measurement value of the second detection unit (not shown) received through the operation 7-2-1 (S721). It may be determined, and it may be determined whether the calculated actual motion stamp matches the target time stamp received through the second step S2.

If it is determined in step 7722 that the target time stamp and the actual motion stamp match, the process returns to the fifth step S5 and determines that the target time stamp and the actual motion stamp are inconsistent. If so, it can proceed to step 7-2-3 (S723) to be described later.

In operation S723, the driving controller may determine whether the actual motion stamp is earlier than the target time stamp.

If it is determined that the actual motion stamp is earlier than the target time stamp in step 7-2-3 (S723), the process proceeds to step 7724 (S724) which will be described later. If it is determined that the time later than the time stamp, the process may proceed to step 7-2-5 (S725).

In a step 7724-S724, the drive controller controls the drive control unit to shift the motions between the motion corresponding to the actual motion stamp and the motion corresponding to the target time stamp to a driving speed faster than a predetermined driving speed. Instructions may be given to the driver 2240.

When the 7-2-4 step S724 is completed, the process may return to the fifth step S5.

In operation 7725, the driving controller may instruct the driving unit 2240 to transfer the movements after the movement corresponding to the actual movement stamp to a driving speed slower than a predetermined driving speed. have.

When the 7-2-5 step S725 is completed, the process may return to the fifth step S5.

Here, the steps 7-2-1 to 7-2-5 (S721 to S725) may be performed at a predetermined time interval (for example, 12 ms).

In this control method, the first to step S1 is executed once at the start of the experience, and the second to seventh to second-2-5 steps S2 until an image and a motion corresponding to the final time stamp are provided. To S725) may be repeated after repeated execution.

Here, the experience apparatus according to the present embodiment, including the simulator 2000 for providing the image and the movement to the experience person, by allowing the experience person to experience through the visual stimulus and physical stimulus, to prevent the experience feeling a heterogeneous person, Immersion can be improved and, in the end, realism can be improved.

As the image and the motion are provided to correspond to each other, the realism may be further improved.

And, as it is formed to provide a view-corresponding image of the omnidirectional image, it may further improve the realism. Particularly, since the movement of the passenger device 2200 is formed to exclude the movement of the passenger device 2200 when calculating the visual field of the experience person required to provide the corresponding view image, the actual view of the experience person and the image of the image are inconsistent due to the movement of the passenger device 2200. By preventing the case in advance, the realism can be further improved.

Then, the driving unit 2240 is pitched (second axis reference rotational movement), yawing (first axis reference rotational movement), rolling (third axis reference rotational movement), reciprocating motion (track ( 2244), the space required for installation of the drive unit 2240 can be minimized, and the degree of freedom of movement can be maximized within the space, effectively and efficiently improving the realism. have.

In addition, the boarding unit 2220 may be reciprocated in one linear direction along the track 2244 but rotated by at least one of pitching, yawing and rolling at an angular velocity smaller than a predetermined angular velocity, and disposed at a predetermined position. After reciprocating motion can be formed. The imaging device 2100 is formed such that an experienced person can only view an image provided by the imaging device 2100, and when the boarding unit 2220 is disposed at a predetermined position, the boarding unit 2220 is provided. After providing the image is excluded from the rotation, and after the boarding unit 2220 is disposed in a predetermined position can be formed to provide an image reflecting the predetermined linear direction movement. As a result, the degree of freedom of movement perceived by the experienced person may be greater than the degree of freedom of movement of the driving unit 2240 applied to the boarding unit 2220. Accordingly, the visual movements shown in the image and the physical movements actually provided can be much better corresponded to each other, and the realism can be further improved. In addition, even if the degree of freedom of movement perceived by the experiencer is increased, the number of actuators can be minimized, control complexity can be minimized, space required, and cost increase can be minimized.

In addition, the boarding unit 2220 may be reciprocated within a predetermined distance range, but may be formed to reciprocate more than a predetermined speed only in an acceleration situation or a deceleration situation. In addition, the imaging device 2100 may be configured to provide an image of moving a distance farther than the predetermined distance range when the vehicle 2220 is reciprocated. As a result, although the boarding unit 2220 is reciprocated within the predetermined range, the experienced person may be stimulated to move beyond the predetermined range. Accordingly, the realism can be further improved while reducing the required space, required energy, and required cost.

On the other hand, the number of the riding unit 2220 and the number of the driving unit 2240 may be appropriately adjusted.

That is, one driving unit 2220 may be combined with one driving unit 2240 so that one experienced person can experience it at a time.

Alternatively, a plurality of passengers 2220 may be coupled to one driver 2240 so that a plurality of experienced users may experience the same time to improve turnover.

Alternatively, a plurality of driving units 2240 may be provided to further improve the rotation rate, and at least one riding unit 2220 may be coupled to each driving unit 2240. That is, the simulator 2000 may be provided in plurality. In this case, the plurality of simulators 2000 may provide an image and a motion independently of each other.

Meanwhile, when the simulator 2000 is provided in plural, the plurality of simulators 2000 may be formed so as not to collide with each other.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the experience apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention may include first to n th imaging apparatuses 2100 and first to n th apparatuses that provide images to the first to n th experienced persons, respectively. It may include a first to n-th vehicle 2200 to provide a movement to the experienced person, respectively. Here, any one of the first to n-th experienced persons is a concept that refers to people who have the same experience at the same time. For example, when two people have the same experience at the same time in one simulator 2000, the two may be separated. It is a concept of counting as an experience rather than counting.

In addition, each of the boarding devices 2200 may include a boarding unit 2220 which provides a space in which the experienced person can ride and a driving unit 2240 which generates a movement in the boarding unit 2220.

Each of the driving units 2240 includes a track 2244 extending in one linear direction on a support supporting the driving unit 2240, a tracker 2245 formed to reciprocate along the track 2244, and A first mechanism 2241 supported by the tracker 2245 and rotatably formed about a first axis, rotatably formed about a second axis supported by the first mechanism 2241 and perpendicular to the first axis The second mechanism 2242, which is supported by the second mechanism 2242 and is rotatably formed with respect to a third axis perpendicular to the second axis, and is coupled to the boarding portion 2220. It may include.

The plurality of tracks 2244 are radially arranged, and any of the plurality of tracks 2244 has a distance from a track adjacent to the arbitrary tracks from one end of the arbitrary tracks to the other end thereof. It can be formed to be increased.

Each tracker 2245 may be formed to be located at the other end 2244b side of the track 2244 during the experience period.

The experience device according to this configuration is spaced between the ride portions 2220 as each ride portion 2220 pitches, yaws, rolls, and reciprocates on the other end 2244b side of each track 2244 during the experience period. The distance is sufficiently secured so that the vehicles 2220 may not collide with each other.

On the other hand, in the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 2, because a large number of experienced people and experience waiters exist in a limited space, the copper wires are entangled with each other, difficult to control, turnover is lowered, and there is a high possibility of a safety accident. In view of this, each tracker 2245 is located at one end 2244a of the track 2244 before the start of the experience, and at the other end 2244b of the track 2244 after the end of the experience. It may be formed to be located at one end (2244a) of 2244. In this case, the waiters wait in line from the entrance of the experience space to one end 2244a side of the track 2244 and board each of the boarding units 2220. At the other end 2244b, the bus may exit from each boarding unit 2220 and exit to the exit of the experience space. As a result, the copper lines of the experiencers and the experience waiters are not entangled with each other, the control of the experiencers and the experience waiters is easy, the turnover is improved, and the possibility of a safety accident can be reduced.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the boarding unit 2220 is formed to reciprocate along the track 2244. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as illustrated in FIG. 3, the driving unit 2240 is supported by a support supporting the driving unit 2240 and is formed to be rotatable about a first axis 2241. ), A second mechanism 2242 supported by the first mechanism 2241 and rotatably formed about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and supported by the second mechanism 2242 and the second shaft It may include a third mechanism (2243) rotatably formed with respect to the third axis perpendicular to and coupled to the vehicle (2220). The first mechanism 2241 is rotatable about the first axis of the support and within the predetermined distance range (eg, 0 (zero) or more and 10 cm or less) in the first axial direction. A first mechanism first portion 2241a supported reciprocally and a first mechanism second portion 2241b extending from the first mechanism first portion 2241a and supporting the second mechanism 2242. can do. In this case, the effect may be similar to that of the above-described embodiment. However, in this case, as the track 2244 and the tracker 2245 are deleted, required space and cost can be reduced. In addition, as the range of the reciprocating motion is reduced, it is not possible to provide a sufficient reciprocating motion to the experienced person, but the energy required to reciprocate the boarding portion 2220 is reduced, and the reciprocating motion of the boarding portion 2220 is reduced. Responsiveness may be improved, and durability of a mechanism for generating a reciprocating motion of the boarding unit 2220 may be improved. In addition, the vehicle 2220 may protrude excessively and collide with another structure in advance.

Meanwhile, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when the reciprocating motion is to be generated in the boarding unit 2220, the entire boarding unit 2220 and the driving unit 2240 are reciprocated. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as shown in FIG. 4, the first mechanism first portion 2241a is rotatably supported on a support about the first axis, and the first mechanism second portion 2241b is supported by the first axis. It may be formed to be reciprocally supported in the first mechanism first portion 2241a within a predetermined distance range (eg, 0 (zero) or more and 10 cm or less) in the first axial direction. In this case, the effect may be similar to that of the above-described embodiment. However, in this case, since the first mechanism 1224 2a is not reciprocated, the energy required to reciprocate the boarding unit 2220 is further reduced, and the reciprocating motion response of the boarding unit 2220 is reduced. Further improved, the durability of the mechanism for generating a reciprocating motion of the riding unit 2220 can be further improved.

On the other hand, in the above-described embodiment, regardless of the will of the experienced person, a predetermined image and a movement are provided as time passes. However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be configured to provide an image and a movement corresponding to the will of the experienced person.

Specifically, although not separately illustrated, the experience device according to another embodiment of the present invention includes the video device 2100, the vehicle 2200, and the controller (not shown), and receives input data from the user. The apparatus further includes a receiving operation device (not shown), wherein the imaging device 2100 provides an image corresponding to the input data to the experienced person, and the boarding device 2200 provides a movement corresponding to the input data to the experienced person. It can be configured to provide.

The manipulation device (not shown) may include, for example, a sensor for measuring gaze movement of a joystick, a haptic device, a button, and an experienced person so that the input data includes information about a position, a directionality, a speed, an acceleration, a rotation, and the like. Detection unit (not shown)) or the like.

The image may be formed by game producers based on the input data by the producer (not shown).

The imaging device 2100 and the vehicle 2200 may each be formed as a master device. That is, the imaging device 2100 is configured to receive the input data from the operation device (not shown) and provide an image based on the input data, and the vehicle 2200 is also the operation device (not shown). And receive the input data from and provide motion based on the input data. However, in this case, the capacity of the first database and the second database is increased, and it may take considerable time and cost to form the first database and the second database.

In consideration of this, the imaging device 2100 may be formed as a master device, and the passenger device 2200 may be formed as a slave device. That is, the imaging device 2100 is configured to receive the input data from the manipulation device (not shown) and provide an image based on the input data, but the vehicle 2200 provides a movement based on the image. It can be formed to. Here, the vehicle 2200 may be formed as a master device, and the video device 2100 may be formed as a slave device. However, since the video device 2100 is more limited than the vehicle 2200, It may be preferable that the imaging device 2100 is formed as a master device and the imaging device 2100 is formed as a slave device.

To this end, the producer (not shown) may form the first database so that the image is variable according to the input data, and form the second database to be variable according to the image. That is, the first database may be formed such that the input data is an input value and the image is an output value, and the second database is formed such that the image is an input value and the movement is an output value.

The controller (not shown) stores the first database and the second database, receives the input data from the manipulation device (not shown), and the first database and the second database. The image device 2100 and the driver 2240 may be controlled based on a database and the input data. That is, the controller (not shown) inserts the input data received from the manipulation device (not shown) into the first database, selects an image corresponding to the input data, and selects the selected image from the image apparatus ( 2100), the selected image may be inserted into the second database, and the movement corresponding to the image may be selected and sent to the driver 2240.

The experience apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention according to such a configuration may be operated according to the following control method.

That is, when the experience begins, in the first 'step S1', the manipulation device (not shown) may receive the input data from the experience person.

Then, in the second 'step S2', the operation device (not shown) may send the input data received through the first 'step S1' to the controller (not shown).

Next, in a third step S3 ', the controller (not shown) substitutes the input data received through the second step S2' into the first database and corresponds to the input data. It is possible to select the image (the omnidirectional image).

Next, in step 4-1-1 ', the first detector (not shown) sends the measured value of the first detector (not shown) to the controller (not shown), and the The second detector (not shown) may send the measured value of the second detector (not shown) to the controller (not shown).

Then, in step 4-1-2 '(S412'), the controller (not shown) is based on the measured value of the first detector (not shown) and the measured value of the second detector (not shown). You can calculate the field of view of the experiencer.

Next, in step 4-1-3 ', in step S413', the controller (not shown) moves the 4-1-2 'out of the image (the omnidirectional image) selected in step 3' in step S3 '. In operation S412 ′, an image (a field-corresponding image) corresponding to the field of view of the experienced person may be selected and sent to the image display unit.

Next, in step 4-1-4 ', step S414', the image display unit may play back the image received through step 4-1-3 'step S413'.

On the other hand, in step 4-2-1 '(S421'), the controller (not shown) selects a motion corresponding to the image (the omnidirectional image) selected in step 3 '(S3'), and selects the selected motion. The movement may be sent to the driver 2240.

Next, in the fourth-2-2 'step (S422'), the driver 2240 may perform the movement received through the fourth-2-1 'step (S421').

On the other hand, when at least one of the 4-1-4 'step (S414') and the 4-2-2 'step (S422') is finished, in the fifth step (S5 '), the controller ( Not shown) may determine whether the experience has ended. That is, the controller (not shown) may determine whether a separately set end-condition (eg, game over on game content) is satisfied.

In the fifth step (S5 '), if it is determined that the experience has ended (if the experience termination condition is satisfied), the experience ends, and if it is determined that the experience is in progress (experience of completion of the experience termination condition) If), it may proceed to the sixth step (S6 ') to be described later.

In a sixth step S6 ', the second detector (not shown) may send the measured value (actual movement of the driver 2240) of the second detector (not shown) to the controller (not shown). have.

Next, in the seventh step S7 ′, the controller (not shown) measures the measured value of the second detection unit (not shown) received through the sixth step S6 ′ (operation unit 2240). The actual movement) may be determined to match the target movement of the driver 2240.

In the seventh step S7 ′, when it is determined that the actual motion of the driver 2240 matches the target motion, the process returns to the first step S1 ′ and the actual motion of the driver 2240 is determined. If it is determined that the target movement is inconsistent, the process may proceed to the eighth step S8 ', which will be described later.

In an eighth step S8 ′, the controller (not shown) may instruct the driving unit 2240 to shift the driving unit 2240 to a driving speed faster than a predetermined driving speed.

When the eighth step S8 'is finished, the operation may return to the first step S1'.

Herein, the sixth 'step S6' to the eighth 'step S8' may be executed at a predetermined time interval (for example, 12 ms).

On the other hand, in the case of the above-described embodiment, it is formed to provide the experiencer with the image and the movement predefined by the manufacturer through software. In other words, the environment experienced by the experiencer is a virtual reality produced in advance by the producer, not the actual environment. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the experiencer may be configured to experience the actual environment.

Various kinds of special effects devices (not shown) for emitting fire, water, mist, laser, etc. may be disposed along the track 3000 to improve kinds of billboards and attraction. have. In addition, the avatar 1200, the track 3000, the billboard (not shown) and the special effects device (not shown) are formed to allow the experienced person to ride in order to reduce the space and cost required for installation and operation. It may be formed with a smaller scale (eg, a miniature scale) than if.

Meanwhile, the avatar 1200 may be formed together with the simulator 2000 to provide an image in the above-described field corresponding image providing method. Detailed description thereof will be described later.

In addition, the avatar 1200 may further include an information processing computing board 1260, and may be formed to match the image and the movement with the simulator 2000. Detailed description thereof will be described later.

In addition, the avatar 1200, the vibration of the body 1210 is transmitted to the photographing device 1230 between the body 1210 and the photographing device 1230 in order to collect a stable and high quality image. It may further include a shock absorber 1270 to prevent. The shock absorber 1270 accommodates the photographing device 1230, and has an annular portion 1272 and an inner circumferential surface of the annular portion 1272 fixed to the body 1210 (or more precisely, the frame 1212). An imaging device 1230 may be interposed between the imaging device 1230 and the imaging device 1230 may include a buffer portion (1274) for supporting the imaging device 1230 to allow relative movement within the annular portion (1272). The buffer part 1274 may be formed radially about the imaging device 1230, and may be formed of an elastic material such as rubber, for example.

The simulator 2000 may be formed to be substantially the same as the above-described embodiment. However, the simulator 2000 according to the present exemplary embodiment may be configured to provide an experienced person with an image and a movement received from the avatar 1200.

In detail, the simulator 2000 is electrically connected to the transmission device 1250 of the avatar 1200 and collected from the avatar 1200 based on the image and the movement (more precisely, the timeline and the timeline). A communication device (not shown) for receiving a file integrating an image and a motion), an image device 2100 for providing an experienced person with an image received through the communication device (not shown), and the communication device (not shown) It may include a boarding device 2200 for providing the received movement to the experienced person, and a controller (not shown) for controlling the imaging device 2100 and the boarding device 2200.

The communication device (not shown) is formed of a wireless communication device, and receives not only images and movements from the transmission device 1250, but also other information such as voice, and transmits information such as input data. It may be formed to transmit to the device 1250. That is, the transmission device 1250 and the communication device (not shown) may be formed to enable bidirectional communication.

The imaging device 2100 is intended to allow an experienced person to experience the same as boarding the avatar 1200 through vision, and may be formed in much the same manner as the above-described embodiment.

The boarding device 2200 is intended to allow an experienced person to experience the same as boarding the avatar 1200 through physical movement, and may be formed in much the same manner as the above-described embodiment.

The controller (not shown) is formed of a server or a computer that is electrically connected to the avatar 1200, the imaging device 2100, and the vehicle 2200, and controls an image controller 2100. And a driving controller for controlling the driving device, and an integrated controller for controlling the image controller and the driving controller.

Here, the avatar 1200 and the simulator 2000 may include an image surrounding the avatar 1200 so that an experienced person can see an image such as being in an actual environment (aboard the avatar 1200). The omnidirectional image may be formed in a manner of providing a video (a field-corresponding video) in a direction (eg, a field-viewing video) in a direction in which a person's eyes are directed, on the premise that the experienced person rides on the avatar 1200. That is, the photographing device 1230 is formed to collect an omnidirectional image surrounding the avatar 1200, as described above, and the imaging device 2100 and the controller (not shown) are configured in the avatar 1200. The image display unit may be configured to display an image corresponding to a field of view of the collected omnidirectional image corresponding to a specific portion (a portion of the subject's gaze). The detailed description of the view corresponding image providing and the field correction is omitted since it is overlapped with the above-described embodiment.

On the other hand, similar to the above-described embodiment, the avatar 1200 and the simulator 2000, the image and the motion to be provided in the simulator 2000 primarily in the image and the motion collecting step through the avatar 1200 to each other And secondly correspond to the image and the motion in the image and the motion reproducing step through the simulator 2000.

In detail, the avatar 1200 collects an image photographed by the photographing device 1230 based on a timeline through the computing board 1260, and measures the movement measured by the motion capture 1240. It collects based on the timeline, and may be formed to integrate the timeline, the image and the movement collected on the timeline into a single file and transmit it to the simulator 2000. Hereinafter, the file is called an integrated file. In this case, a delay between the image and the motion in the image and motion collection step is significantly reduced, compared to the case in which the image and the motion are separately collected and transmitted. Movements to be provided in the vehicle 2200 may be easily matched with each other.

The simulator 2000, based on the integrated file received from the avatar 1200, the video device 2100 provides an image to the experienced person based on the timeline, and the vehicle 2200 receives the It may be configured to provide a user with a movement based on a timeline.

That is, the integrated file includes first to nth time stamps, which are a plurality of time points included in the experience time from the experience start time to the experience end time, and images corresponding to the first to nth time stamps, respectively. The first to n th motions may be motions corresponding to the n th image and the first to n th time stamps, respectively. Here, the first to nth time stamps form the time line.

The integrated file is stored in the controller (not shown), and the integrated controller of the controller (not shown) receives the first to nth time stamps at predetermined time intervals (for example, 10 ms). Simultaneously sending to the image control unit and the driving control unit, the image control unit of the controller (not shown) selects the image corresponding to the time stamp received from the integrated control unit among the first to n-th image and the selected image A middle field corresponding image is sent to the image display unit, and a driving controller of the controller (not shown) selects a movement corresponding to a time stamp received from the integrated controller among the first to nth movements, and then drives the 2240. Can be configured to ship.

In addition, the simulator 2000 advances the target image (the image to be provided by the image device 2100) and the actual image (the image provided by the image device 2100) in order to continuously synchronize the image and the movement during the experience. Compare and match at a predetermined frequency (eg, 60 Hz) at intervals, and determine a predetermined time between the target movement (movement that should be provided by the boarding machine 2200) and the actual movement (movement provided by the boarding machine 2200) It may be configured to compare and match at intervals (eg, 12 ms).

In order to describe this in more detail, hereinafter, a time stamp corresponding to the target image and the target movement among the first to nth time stamps (a time stamp sent from an integrated control unit) is called a target time stamp, and the actual The time stamp corresponding to the image (time stamp sent to the image display unit) is called an actual image time stamp, and the time stamp corresponding to the actual movement (time stamp sent to the driver 2240) is called an actual movement time stamp.

In this case, the simulator 2000 may be configured to compare the target time stamp with the actual image time stamp to compare whether the target image matches the actual image. In addition, when the actual image time stamp is earlier than the target time stamp, the simulator 2000 may be configured to provide the image at a speed higher than a predetermined speed. And, if the actual image time stamp is later than the target time stamp, the simulator 2000 may be configured to provide the image at a speed slower than a predetermined speed.

In addition, the simulator 2000 may be configured to compare the target time stamp with the actual motion time stamp to compare whether the target image matches the actual motion. In addition, when the actual motion time stamp is earlier than the target time stamp, the simulator 2000 may be formed such that the driver 2240 provides the motion at a speed higher than a predetermined speed. The simulator 2000 may be configured such that the driver 2240 provides the motion at a slower speed than a predetermined speed when the actual motion time stamp is later than the target time stamp.

The operation and effect of the experience device according to this configuration may be substantially the same as the above-described embodiment. In this case, however, it includes an avatar 1200 moving in the first space and a simulator 2000 for stimulating the experiencer to experience the same experience as the passenger in the second space boarding the avatar 1200. By letting the experiencer experience the real environment, not the virtual reality, the realism can be further enhanced.

In addition, it is possible to experience various environments with relatively little time and cost. That is, since the virtual reality is not manufactured, time and cost required for producing the virtual reality can be reduced. Of course, it takes time and cost to produce the avatar 1200 and the first space (orbit 3000 in this embodiment) instead of the virtual reality production, but less than the time and cost required to produce the virtual reality, avatar ( 1200 and the scale of the first space in the miniature scale, the time and cost can be significantly reduced. Here, in the case of miniature scale, the time and cost required to change the configuration of the first space can be reduced. That is, for a new experience, it takes considerable time and cost to change the track 3000 in an actual roller coaster, but in this embodiment it can take very little time and cost to change the track 3000. In the case of the miniature scale, the time and cost required to install the billboard (not shown) and the special effect device (not shown) are reduced, so that the maximum effect can be obtained at the minimum cost.

In addition, since the time and cost of constructing the avatar 1200 and the first space are small, the avatar 1200 and the first space are configured at various positions within a limited budget, and one of them is a simulator ( 2000). That is, for example, a first avatar traveling on a first track and the first track in Hawaii, a second avatar traveling on a second track and the second track in the Alps, a third track and a third track in Kenya And forming a fourth avatar traveling in the Pacific Ocean, a fourth trajectory in the Pacific Ocean and a fourth avatar traveling in the fourth trajectory, and optionally, among the first avatar, the second avatar, the third avatar, and the fourth avatar. A simulator 2000 linked to either one may be formed in Seoul. In this case, you can experience a wide variety of experiences with relatively little time and money.

In addition, by providing a stimulus to the experienced person through the simulator 2000, the experienced person can be provided with a movement as if the experienced person rides on a real machine, with less time and cost, while being less space constrained.

5 and 6, the avatar 1200 is formed in the form of a vehicle moving along the track 3000 (predetermined course), but there may be various other embodiments.

That is, the avatar 1200 may be formed of an object (moving means) which freely moves and replaces the visual field in the simulation. That is, the vehicle may be formed of a vehicle that runs freely on a road, an aircraft such as a drone, a missile, a rocket, a ship, and the like. In this case, the avatar 1200 may freely move, for example, a tourist destination, an overseas attraction, and the like, so that an experienced person may experience as if traveling.

Here, the avatar 1200 may be configured to be driven by an administrator, or may be configured to be driven by an experienced person so that the experienced person can experience a desired environment. That is, the simulator 2000 further includes an operation device (not shown) for receiving input data from an experienced person, wherein the input data is transmitted to the avatar 1200 through the communication device (not shown), and the avatar 1200 may be configured to operate the transfer means 1220 according to the received input data.

The avatar 1200 is formed by the avatar 1200 itself as the moving object (the transfer means 1220 is formed as a driving source of the moving object), but is formed in such a manner as to be mounted on the moving object. The means 1220 may be formed of a moving object. That is, the avatar 1200 may be formed as a unit installed in a vehicle, an aircraft, a missile, a rocket, a ship, or the like. In this case, the experienced person can experience the experience as if the experienced person boarded a vehicle, an aircraft, a missile, a rocket, a ship, or the like, and can be used for development, performance evaluation, etc. of the vehicle, an aircraft, and the like. Alternatively, the avatar 1200 may be formed as a wearable device and worn on a living body. In this case, the avatar 1200 may be mounted on an animal such as, for example, a whale, so that the experience person may experience the same as boarding the animal, or may be used for ecological research of the animal. In addition, the avatar 1200 may be mounted on a person such as a ski jump player, for example, and the experienced person may have the same experience as that person.

5 and 6, the simulator 2000 is configured to provide the experiencer in real time with the experience that the avatar 1200 experiences, but stores the experience that the avatar 1200 experiences. The simulator 2000 can be configured to provide the experiences from time to time (every time the experiencer wants to experience). For example, the avatar 1200 may be formed as a wearable device, and a person (hereinafter referred to as a user) may experience sky diving after mounting the avatar 1200 at a first time point. In addition, the user experiences the experience experienced at the first time point as a file in a predetermined storage device (for example, a memory built in the simulator 2000), and then the user at a second time point that is later than the first time point. Aboard the simulator 2000 and playing back the stored file can experience the skydiving experienced at the first time point again. In this case, the user at the first time (or the wearable device worn by the user at the first time) may be the avatar 1200, and the user at the second time may be an experienced person riding in the simulator 2000. According to this, the experienced person can feel the inspiration of the time while re-experiencing past experiences that transcend time and space.

5 and 6, the avatar 1200 (more precisely, the photographing apparatus 1230) collects an omnidirectional image and transmits the omnidirectional image to the simulator 2000. It is formed to provide a field of view image of the omnidirectional image received from the avatar 1200. However, the avatar 1200 collects the image in the field of view of the photographing device 1230 of the omnidirectional image, the angle of view of the photographing device 1230 is adjusted according to the field of view of the experienced person, the simulator 2000 is the It may be formed to provide an image collected by the imaging device 1230. That is, from the step of collecting an image from the avatar 1200, a part of the image that is not the omnidirectional image is collected, and the part of the image is reproduced by the simulator 2000. It may be formed to. Here, the line of sight (view angle) of the photographing device 1230 may be formed to be adjusted according to the calculated field of view as described above. In this case, the size of data to be collected, transmitted, and stored can be reduced, thereby improving processing speed.
