Abstract

A virtual reality experience suit according to the present invention is made up of a clothing wearable on a user′s body, and is provided with a plurality of stimulation modules for applying different kinds of stimulation to the user′s skin, and a stimulation control portion for controlling operation of each stimulation module inside the clothing. Therefore, when the user wears the virtual reality experience suit of the present invention at the time of a virtual reality experience, the user can further immerse himself/herself in a virtual reality through the skin senses such as pressure, pain, touch, warm and cold, and the like.

Description

가상현실 체험 슈트{virtual experience suit}Virtual experience suit

가상현실 체험 시스템은 인간이 컴퓨터에 의해 생성된 가상 환경(Virtual Environment)에 몰입하여 착각에 의한The virtual reality experience system is a system in which a human being is immersed in a virtual environment created by a computer,

가상 환경의 세계를 체험하는 것으로서, 최근 들어 가상현실을 이용한 게임 및 쇼핑 시스템 등이 활발히 개발되As a virtual world experience, game and shopping systems using virtual reality have been actively developed

고 있다."He said.

[0003] 이와 같은 가상현실을 체험하는 기술들에 있어서 얼마나 실제상황과 같은 체험을 느끼느냐 하는 리얼리티가 무[0003] In such technologies for experiencing a virtual reality, there is no reality in which the user feels the same experience as the actual situation.

엇보다도 중요하며, 특히 게임분야에 있어서 리얼리티 문제는 가상현실 게임의 사활이 걸려있다고 할 수 있는It is more important than anything else, especially in the field of games,

중요한 문제이다.It is an important issue.

[0004] 그러나, 현재까지 개발된 대부분의 가상현실 체험 시스템은 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 사용자에게 시청각 정보만[0004] However, most of the virtual reality experi- ence systems developed up to now have a problem that only the audiovisual information

을 제공하여 가상현실에 몰입하도록 하기 때문에, 사용자에 따라서는 가상현실을 체험하는 느낌이 미미하거나So as to immerse the user in the virtual reality. Therefore, depending on the user, the feeling of experiencing the virtual reality is insignificant

동일한 가상현실 체험을 반복할 경우 리얼리티가 급격하게 떨어지는 문제점이 있다.If the same virtual reality experience is repeated, there is a problem that the reality drops sharply.

[0005] 이에 본 발명자들은 가상현실 체험 시스템에 피부 감각의 효과가 실현되면 리얼리티가 완벽하게 달성될 수 있다[0005] Accordingly, the present inventors have realized that when the effect of skin sensation is realized in a virtual reality experience system, the reality can be completely achieved

는 점에 착안하여 본 발명을 완성하게 된 것이다.The present invention has been completed.

본 발명의 목적은 사용자가 피부로 느끼는 감각을 통해 가상현실에 몰입할 [0006] 수 있도록 하는 가상현실 체험 슈트[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide a virtual reality experience suit

를 제공하는 것이다..

본 발명에 따른 가상현실 체험 슈트는 사용자 신체의 피부조직에 직접적인 자극을 가함으로써 사용자가 피부로The virtual reality experience suit according to the present invention directly stimulates the skin tissue of the user's body,

느끼는 감각을 통해 가상현실에 몰입할 수 있도록 하며, 이에 따라 단순히 시청각 정보만을 제공하여 가상현실The user can be immersed in the virtual reality through the sense of feeling,

에 몰입하도록 하는 종래의 가상현실 체험 기술에 비하여 가상현실을 체험하는 리얼리티를 극대화할 수 있다.The reality of experiencing the virtual reality can be maximized in comparison with the conventional virtual reality experience technique in which the user is immersed in the virtual reality experience.

도 1은 종래의 가상현실 체험 시스템의 일예를 나타낸 도면이다.1 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional virtual reality experience system.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명에 따른 가상현실 체험 슈트는, 사용자 신체에 착용 가능한 의복으로 이루In order to achieve the above object, a virtual reality experience suit according to the present invention is a virtual reality experience suit,
