가상현실(Virtual Reality: VR)은 인간-컴퓨터간 인터페이스로, 어떤 특정 환경이나 상황을 컴퓨터로 만들어 사람들이 마치 실제 주변 상황.환경과 상호작용을 하고 있는 것처럼 만들어 주는 과학기술이다. 기존에는 병원이나 의과대학에서 수술 실습이나 군사부문에서 탱크, 항공기 등의 조종법 시뮬레이션 훈련으로 사용되었으나, HMD(Head Mounted Display) 발전과 콘텐츠 혁신에 힘입어 게임, 교육, 의료, 영화, 공연, 테마파크, 부동산, 제조 등에서 활용되고 있다. 구글, 애플, 마이크로소프트, 페이스북, 삼성전자, 소니 등 글로벌ICT 기업들은 ICT 성장을 견인해 온 PC와 스마트폰, 태블릿PC 등 모바일기기의 성장이 한계에 직면하자 새로운 성장동력으로 VR을 집중적으로 육성하고 있다. 그 결과 오큘러스 리프트를 필두로 삼성 기어 VR 등 다양한 HMD 등 디바이스 제품들이 출시되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 하드웨어의 혁신에도 불구하고 쓸만한 콘텐츠가 매우 부족하여 균형 있는 VR 산업 발전에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 고에서는 VR 소프트웨어 및 플랫폼을 중심으로 국내외 개발 동향을 살펴보고, VR 산업 발전에 필요한 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.
