최근 인터넷 기술의 발달로 인한 실시간 인터넷 동영상 서비스 등 인터넷을 이용한 방송사업이 활성화되어지고 이에 부가적으로 애니메이션이 감각적 서비스를 지원하고 있는 실정이나 고가의 모션캡쳐 시스템을 통한 캡쳐된 좌표를 적절한 보정을 한 후에 캐릭터를 움직이는 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 모션캡쳐 시스템을 통한다면 시스템 및 장비 자체가 고가이고 또한 실시간으로 처리하기 위하여는 좌표값 보정 등이 필요하지만 본 논문에서 제안하는 좌표 추출 및 추적 기법을 이용하여 저가의 가정용 멀티미디어 오버레이 캡쳐보드와 CCD 카메라를 통하여 영상을 캡쳐하고 캡쳐된 영상좌표와 실험용 GDI object를 링크시켜 실시간으로 사람의 입술의 움직임 모양대로 애니메이션이 립싱크되어서 움직여지는 것을 볼 수 있으며, 더 나아가서 외화의 우리말 더빙시 영상처리를 통한 정교한 화면 더빙 및 가상 캐릭터를 이용한 사이버 미팅가지 가능할 것이다.

Cyber singer appeared in the late 1990s has disappeared briefly appeared. although a few attempts in the 2000s, it did not show significant successes. cyber singer was born thanks to the technical development of the IT industry and the emergence of an idol training system in the music industry. It was developed by Vocaloid 'Seeyou' starting from 'Adam'. cyber singer that differenatiated typical digital characters in a cartoon or game may be subject to idolize to the music as a medium. They also feature forming a plurality of fandom. therefore, such attempts and repeated failures, this could be considered a fashion, but it flew content creation and ongoing attempts to take advantage of the new media, such as Vocaloid can see that there are expectations for a true Cyber-born singer. Early-Cyber singer is made only resemble human appearance, but 'Sciart' and 'Seeyou' has been evolving to becoming more like the human capabilities. in this paper, stylized cyber singer had disappeared in the past in the process of developing the technology to evolve into own artificial life does not end in failure cases, gradually led to a change in public perceptions of the image look looking machine was an attempt in that sense. With the direction of the evolution of the mechanical function to obtain a human, fun and human exchanges and mutual feelings. And it is equipped with an artificial life form that evolved with it only in appearance and function. in order to support this logic, I refer to the study of the coevolution of man and machine at every Bruce Mazlish. And, I have analyzed the evolution of cyber singer Bruce research from the perspective of the development process since the late 1990s, the planning of the eight singers who have appeared and design of the cyber character and important voices to be evaluated as a singer (vocal). The machine has been evolving coevolution with humans. cyber singer ambivalent development targets are recognized, but strive to become the new artificial creatures of horror idea of human desire and death continues. therefore, the new Cyber-organisms are likely to be the same style as 'Seeyou'. because, cartoon forms and whirring voice may not be in the form of a signifier is the real human desires, but this is because the contemporary public's desire to be desired and the technical development of this type can be created at the point where the cross-signifier.

최근 들어 예술 영상컨텐츠 유통시스템의 구축이 영상컨텐츠 산업에서 매우 중요한 이슈로 등장하고 있다. 선진 외국에서는 예술감성 기반 영상컨텐츠의 유통에 관련된 사업을 이미 애니메이션, 게임, 캐릭터, 광고, 방송, 영화, 비디오 등의 분야에서 진행하고 있다. 국내에서는 관련된 연구가 거의 없는 실정이며, 본 논문에서 사이버 코리우드의 실현에 관련된 정책방안 제시를 목적으로 예술감성 기반 영상컨텐츠의 유통시스템 구축에 관련된 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과는 예술감성 기반 영상컨텐츠의 제작·처리·편집·배급·유통에 관련된 기술의 국내 고유모델 개발, 수입 절감, 한국형 예술영상컨텐츠의 개발, 가상스튜디오 구축, 예술영상산업의 발전 등에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

'아바타(Avatar)'가 수익창출에 골머리를 앓고 있는 인터넷 기업들의 주요 수익원으로 자리잡았다. 네티즌들이 온라인 상에서 사용하는 가상의 캐릭터에 옷을 입히고, 액세서리로 장식하는데 '돈'을 지불하는 것이다. 2000년 11월 네오위즈의 채팅사이트 '세이클럽'에서 처음 선보인 아바타 서비스가 이런 돌풍을 일으키리라 예상한 사람은 거의 없었다. 하지만 지난해 삼성경제연구소는 아바타를 2001년 히트상품 8위에 올려 놓으면서 인기를 입증했다. 사이버 공간의 분신을 위해 600원짜리 신발을 신겨주고, 4900원짜리 힙합룩과 크로스백까지 구입한다. 또 500원짜리 선글라스까지 구입해 멋을 부린다. 유료화 콘텐츠의 성공모델로 떠오른 '아바타 비즈니스'를 취재했다.

As a virtual identity on the virtual space, Avata is expressed in the various graphic forms such as 2D and 3D. Avata is not just combination of characters, but it also reveals the cultural Avitus of the times or the society, which often represents the discrimination according to the generation or social stratum or the unconscious choice of popular culture The modern days are absolutely influenced by the popular culture. And, it is also the case in the virtual space as well as the real world, influencing the fashion trend, cultural taste, and even the behavioral pattern of individuals. Hereupon, through an analysis of cases of using Avata character graphic, we are going to look into the technical ways of expressing Avata and the overall pop culture trend and individual life pattern and taste which are shown in the choice of outfit, necessaries, and background. And, we will also find out the kitsch characteristics in the consumption of Avata. And, we also expect that the image of Avata would be developing into a positive identity demonstrating one's existence on the virtual space, not simply a meaningless choice and combination of image in expressing and consuming Avata.

This study is purposed to determine the correlation between contemporary fashion and game characters' clothes and to analyze the formative property of the game characters' clothes expressed in the contemporary fashion. The temporal scope of this study is from 2004 to 2007 based on general online game ranks, while the game type is limited to 3D-online role playing game. The most popular clothes of game characters are analyzed and found to have imaginary, sensualistic, and cross-sexual features. These are also expressed as Cyber resistance image, Femme fatal image and Asexual image in the contemporary fashion. Firstly, the Cyber resistance image in the recent fashion is shown as belligerent, destructive and surrealistic image in contemporary fashion. Secondly, the Femme fatal image represents bewitching, brutal and narcissistic image with sleek materials and glowing colors in contemporary fashion. Thirdly, the Asexual image means the concept of sex as the neuter gender. Especially, this image has been introduced by simple and straight silhouette, black, silver, khaki colors in fashion. Accordingly, the clothes of game characters with the popularity and formative property have close correlation with contemporary fashion even if they do not pursue for practical creativity. In this respect, they can consolidate the position as a new fashion trend if they are developed with various design ideas.

The interest in the service of 3D mobile contents becomes larger due to the technological advance of production and services of mobile contents and the appearance of the exclusive mobile phone for 3D game. Therefore, the researches about the efficient mobile services of large 3D contents are wanted in the circumstances of the narrow bandwidth and the burden of the connection charge of wireless mobile communications. In this paper, we suggest a strategy of caching for looking up and downloading the 3D marine characters efficiently and a system model for mobile service of 3D marine characters. The suggested system is designed for serving efficiently the high-quality 3D characters through the wireless mobile communications using the database on the 3D marine objects of cyber aquarium constructed for the services through the wired internet.

Hamel has a scholastic value as the first person, who announces Jeju and Korea to Europe. However, there has been little research on developing digital contents except a few books about Hamel. We develop an educational game on PDA using Hamel, based on Hamel character, Jeju's unique culture, multimedia technology, and so on. Compared with the previous games, it is different from the form of gathering points and has various game scenarios through interactions between Hamel character and game space. The structure of this game, which connects Jeju culture and cyber space together, represents the form of a digital storytelling. You can study through this game. It uses quizzes about Jeju culture, crossword puzzles, finding a sequence, finding differences between two pictures to teach users, and fixing pieces of a figure, etc. When we made the game, we divided it into some independent modules to make new game series easily using contents of the other provinces.

Avatars are a visual representation of users in a virtual world such as an MMORPG. These avatars are often seen as representations or idealizations of the user's actual self. However, this view does not account for the prevalence of two behaviors: multiple avatars and 'gender swapping'. An exercise and questionnaire were created to study avatar customization practices across players outside the context of any particular game to understand better user motivations in creating their virtual selves. A preliminary trial of the exercise showed little correlation between age or gender and gender swapping. While those of non-traditional sexuality were more likely to gender swap, half of traditional sexuality also swapped. Finally, the personality trait, Openness to Experience, showed promising correlation with gender swapping.
