영상제작학과의 실사 VR 교육 필요성 및 방안 연구

Abstract

This study researches the benefits and education measures of performing the real image-based VR education in Department of Visual Content Production at colleges. As the non-face-to-face activities were recommended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the consumption of online video contents rapidly increased, and not only the existing AR and VR, but also Metaverse are rising as the new blue ocean. And with the universalization of digital image production tools and policies for vitalizing the convergence education continued for last ten years, the departments of visual content production related to arts also show the look of integrating with departments related to humanities, society, and IT, in order to change themselves into a new look. Even though this could show the diversified necessity of video, in order to work for the film & video industry, there are so much to learn about the major-related knowledge. So the college years may not be a long enough time to fully acquire the knowledge about film and video production, the randomized convergence with other departments could even reduce the strengths of Department of Visual Content Production. Already the workflow of visual content production is all about application technology and convergence with every field from the planning to the production. However, many people think that it is about simply learning the functions and techniques, so it is necessary to reveal again the specialties and strengths of Department of Visual Content Production in the present period. Moreover, if a bit of VR education is added to the existing curriculum, the students could actively work for more various film & video industry without losing their balance. In Department of Visual Content Production, the students learn about how to use and apply the skills/techniques, visual grammar, and the method of planning/developing the items for coordinating human’s psychology through the long history of image for more than 120 years. Thus, if it is possible to add the basic education of the principles and production method of VR image which is completely different from 180°-based image in the aspect of planning and production/showing method, the students would be able to more easily understand the principles of 360°-based games and XR images. Therefore, this thesis makes suggestions on the VR education measures applicable to Department of Visual Content Production, and hoping it should be more developed and utilized in relevant departments or other educational institutions.
