VISUAL SURROGATE FOR INDIRECT EXPERIENCE AND APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING THE SAME

Disclosed herein is a technology for utilizing an indirect experience without copying a real world to a virtual world. An apparatus for providing a visual surrogate for indirect experience according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a synchronization setup unit for setting up synchronization models between a surrogate, a real object and virtual objects corresponding to the surrogate and the real object, wherein the surrogate is a substitute for a remote user and the virtual objects are displayed in a control space. A control space generation unit generates the control space required to input commands for the surrogate and the real object and to output surrounding information sensed by the surrogate. A service provision unit generates an application in which the synchronization models and the control space are packaged.
