Abstract

Recentrly, early dental care for children is becoming more important, and the number of children patients' dental services is on the rise. So, a variety of seduction therapies are needed to alleviate the tension in children who are anxious about dental care. This paper describes the development process and contents of system that can display the animation of different stories according to the treatment stage by grasping the use state of the treatment device in real time. In the animation, the hreo character and the villain, the cavity character, appear and the hero defeat the villain at each treatment stage. Animation is played when treatment starts and ends after treatment. Current existing one-side played animation of dental clinics is not enough to attract children's attention. If the flow of animation changes depending on the treatment process, it will give children a different enjoyment and consequently ease the tension over the treatment.

유년기에서 성장기인 어린이들의 조기 치아 관리가 중요시 되고 있으며 어린이 환자 치과 진료도 꾸준히 증가하는 추세이다. 치과 치료에 불안을 느끼는 어린이 환자의 긴장을 완화시켜주기 위한 다양한 진정 요법이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 레진 치료에 쓰이는 치료 기구의 사용 상태를 실시간으로 파악하여, 사용 중인 치료 기구와 치료 단계에 따라 다른 스토리와 효과를 가진 애니메이션을 생성 할 수 있는 상호작용 시스템의 개발 내용에 대해 기술한다. 애니메이션은 주인공 캐릭터와 악당인 충치 캐릭터가 전투를 벌여 진료 단계에 맞춰 주인공 캐릭터가 악당을 하나씩 무찔러 승리하는 스토리이며, 치료 시작 시 재생되며 치료가 끝나면 애니메이션도 동시에 종료된다. 현재 어린이 치과에서 서비스되는 기존의 애니메이션 시청은 일방적으로 애니메이션이 재생되기만 할 뿐 어린이의 시선을 이끌기에는 부족함이 있다. 환자의 치료 과정에 맞추어 애니메이션 흐름이 진행된다면 어린이에게 색다른 흥미를 주어 치료에 대한 긴장감이 좀 더 완화될 것이다.
