Roller coaster, enjoy it in VR
Published2017.11.27 11:31
Samsung Electronics has collaborated with Legoland Malaysia Resort to allow users to experience the roller coaster 'The Great Lego Race' using 'Gear VR'.
It will be operated at Legoland from the 23rd (local time). If you wear Gear VR and ride the roller coaster, you can experience as if you are racing directly with Lego characters in an imaginary space made of Lego.
Gear VR synchronizes with the rotation, rise, and fall of the roller coaster, providing a thrilling and immersive experience for both children and adults. You can ride without wearing Gear VR, and it is available for children aged 6 and above.

Why AR, Expected to Surpass the VR Market, Is Attracting Attention in Terms of Commercialization
Among the technologies showcased in Apple's new iPhone X, released in its 10th anniversary, the standout technology is 'facial recognition'. This technology is implemented through the TrueDepth camera system, a 3D camera based on a 3D sensing module. There is another technology made possible by a 3D camera that measures depth. That is 'augmented reality (AR)'. In June, Apple unveiled 'ARKit', an augmented reality platform, at its developer conference 'WWDC 2017'. Subsequently, it announced that it was developing an app utilizing AR technology through collaboration with IKEA. The iPhone X is equipped with an OLED display and a 3D depth camera for AR implementation. Market research firm Counterpoint Research predicted that the AR market would reach 60 billion dollars by 2021 in next-generation technology competition, growing faster than VR. Why is AR garnering attention from a business perspective?

ETRI develops technology to create 360-degree VR content using smartphones
Domestic researchers have developed a technology that enables the creation of high-definition 360-degree VR (virtual reality) content using smartphones. ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) has partnered with NextIon, a virtual reality solution provider, to develop and successfully commercialize YouVR technology, which enables the production of 360-degree VR content in a mobile environment without dedicated hardware. Users can download and utilize a dedicated app. Previously, producing 360-degree VR content required dedicated hardware such as a multi-camera rig—a device that precisely combines multiple cameras. Additionally, stitching software was necessary to connect photographs simultaneously captured by multiple cameras, as well as software to stitch and join multiple video frames together.

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.
