WON Universe Develops VR·AR Content Emotional Quality Evaluation Software

Metaverse specialist developer Won Universe announced on the 22nd that it has developed software for emotional quality assessment of video-based VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) content. Through this, it is expected that factors reducing user immersion in VR and AR content will be minimized, enabling stable service of metaverse content.

This software development project is part of the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) advanced promising technology development project by the Ministry of Science and ICT. Won Universe has been conducting joint research for about three years since 2021 with Yonsei University and Korea University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundations, supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

The ‘VR?AR Content Emotional Quality Assessment Toolkit’ developed by Won Universe is a technology that predicts issues such as fatigue and dizziness that users may experience in advance. It can be used as an evaluation solution that, based on objective numerical data, identifies sections where dizziness occurs and suggests ways to reduce it.

Yang Bo-geun, director of Won Universe, said, “We have been steadily developing technology to maximize vivid emotional experiences of metaverse content through industry-academic cooperation and other efforts,” adding, “We consider it meaningful to commercialize a software platform that can solve problems users feel when using VR?AR content through this research.”

Meanwhile, Won Universe revealed the PICO market release schedule for the remastered version of the first-person action game Overturn, titled Overturn: Revive. Overturn: Revive is a VR game that received the Next Generation Game Content Award at the Korea Game Awards and was well received in the market.

In addition, since April, Won Universe has been collaborating with the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to build and operate a cyber career education metaverse platform. It is also continuing efforts to provide better metaverse experiences by developing a cyber Dokdo school metaverse platform with the Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education and producing VR immersive metaverse content for Dokdo education.
