Description

VR-Linked Self-Breathing Training System The present invention is a result of the support provided by the Busan Metropolitan City University Innovation Research Complex Development Project (IURP2401) of Busan Technopark, and relates to a VR-linked self-breathing training system. More specifically, it relates to a VR-linked self-breathing training system that is connected to an HMD via wireless communication and can perform self-breathing training provided as VR content. Virtual Reality (VR) refers to a human-computer interface that creates a specific environment or situation using a computer, making it feel as though the user is interacting with the actual surrounding situation and environment. This type of virtual reality is used to make it appear as if people are inside and interacting with environments that are difficult to experience in daily life, without actually experiencing them firsthand. Various wearable devices are being developed in accordance with the trend of lightweighting and miniaturization of digital devices, which are used to experience virtual reality programs. A head-mounted display, which is a type of wearable device, refers to a device that allows a user to wear it on their head to receive multimedia content, etc. Meanwhile, chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are on the rise due to the increase in the elderly population and air pollution resulting from technological advancements. According to the '2017 Statistics on Causes of Death' released by Statistics Korea, the mortality rate from pneumonia has increased by 302.9% over the past 10 years, and pneumonia is cited as the most common cause of death among infectious diseases in the elderly. Since these chronic respiratory diseases are incurable, improving lung function through medication, along with education, exercise therapy, and respiratory rehabilitation training tailored to the patient's characteristics, is crucial; however, there is a shortage of specialized equipment for respiratory rehabilitation training. For the elderly or individuals with underlying conditions, persistent decline in physical capacity or ongoing respiratory health issues necessitate various respiratory health solutions for voluntary lung exercise or strengthening of respiratory muscles. Existing respiratory rehabilitation training involves simple balloon blowing, breathing exercises, and breathing training using contact devices, which has the problem of being unsanitary and posing a high risk of spreading infectious diseases. Therefore, there is a need to provide various content that enables individuals to consistently perform rehabilitation training on their own over a long period, allows for easy and enjoyable breathing exercises, and motivates them to practice breathing exercises.
