[Experience] Ski Jumping Virtual Experience, I Flies in the Sky!
Published2017.05.29 14:55
Donning the protective gear, I found myself standing on a dizzying jump ramp. I bent my knees and took a stance, and the thought crossed my mind: "Thank goodness it's VR. I wonder how the athletes manage this."
Ski jumping is a type of skiing sport where athletes "fly through the air" and land on their feet. Depending on the event, they descend from heights of 90 to 120 meters at speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, relying on helmets and skis. The video was produced in both CG and 360-degree VR.
The ski jump simulator is part of the "Realistic Media Industry" project of the Ministry of Science and ICT, which Wizard ran from 2013 to 2016. "Although it's VR content, we've increased the immersion of the VR video by making it feel like you're actually flying," said Kim Seong-wook, director of Wizard, adding that they plan to expand their VR flight experience videos in the future.

[Experience] We asked the VR experience users what their desired price range would be. How much would it be?
I visited a virtual reality (VR) expo on the 10th. The VR expo, which featured around 40 different booths, showcased the current state of VR technology across gaming, video, healthcare, marketing, and other sectors. However, what caught the eye was the long waiting lines reminiscent of an amusement park, despite being a weekday morning, at the end of which stood VR attractions—amusement ride-type experience devices. I asked participants who had completed the experience whether they encountered any inconveniences, and if charged, what would be an appropriate price point.

[Experience] Experience 5G at the Olympics in Pyeongchang
The PyeongChang Winter Olympics is now 332 days away. Following a vision announcement two years ago to showcase the world's first 5G trial service at the PyeongChang Olympics, KT held a press briefing on the 14th (Tuesday) at PyeongChang Alpensia Resort. The event began with a congratulatory video message from the organizing committee chairman and proceeded with demonstrations of autonomous driving 5G buses and drone delivery services, a 'VR Walkthrough' experience of the Olympic torch relay in virtual reality, and the public opening of the PyeongChang 5G Center showcasing four immersive services. The four immersive services are Sync View, Interactive Time Slice, 360° VR Live, and Omni Point View.

ESP32 Development Environment Selection and GPS Application Implementation
The ESP32 is a microcontroller that integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 12-bit ADC, capacitive touch, PWM, DAC, and UART in a single SoC. However, the abundance of features does not by itself solve the designer's problems. The real challenges lie in selecting the appropriate development environment, determining which pins can be used and which must be avoided, and converting raw data from modules into usable information. This document addresses ESP32 peripheral constraints (ADC2 and Wi-Fi coexistence limitation, UART1 occupancy, ADC non-linear regions), the trade-offs between Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF, and the process from connecting NEO-6M/NEO-M8N GPS modules to UART2, parsing NMEA sentences, and visualizing routes in Google Earth, all organized based on documented references.

MIPI CSI-2, DSI-2, C-PHY, D-PHY Test Solution Technical White Paper
The MIPI interface adopts a burst mode that transitions between low-power (LP) and high-speed (HS) states for low-power consumption, and in return, strict timing rules are imposed on state transitions. Additionally, the high-speed section operates as a packet-based protocol with headers, ECC, and CRC, so verification engineers must handle waveforms and protocols simultaneously. Traditional configurations combining general-purpose oscilloscopes and AWGs reveal limitations in setup complexity, measurement uncertainty, and lack of reproducibility when faced with these requirements. This white paper, based on webinar materials, organizes the structure of this problem and describes how the SV5C-DPTXCPTX generator for receiver testing and SV5C-DPRXCPRX analyzer for transmitter testing integrate state transition testing, stressed eye testing, and protocol analysis into a single bench, along with their application boundaries.
