  Abstract

As the interest in health and quality of life increases around the world, the desire to enjoy leisure and sports grows. In addition, interest in virtual sports is increasing along the digital transformation trend represented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In the midst of this, Republic of Korea has not been very prominent in VR-based virtual sports that can provide a richer user experience after the early success of screen golf in the early 2000s. In this paper, I would like to suggest policy instruments for vitalizing Korea’s VR-based virtual sports industry. To this end, we first reviewed the latest VR product and service trends on each value chain, such as Contents, Platform, Network, Device and analyzed related policies in Korea. And finally I proposed 1) the expansion of the national strategy for virtual sports, 2) the strengthening of integrated R&D in terms of service R&D, and 3) VR sports business ecosystem support.
