Subjects of this study were university students who were interested in sports brand characters, living in Seoul and Kyenggi-do. The questionnaire were developed based on the previous studies. Data were analysed by Frequency analysis, ANOVA, Duncan Test, and Spearman′s Rho. The results were as follows: 1. The most preferred source of sports brands character was "illustrated human figure"(i.e. a famous athlete like Michael Jordan). And the most favorite expression method of character was the combination of letter and symbol as the character of ASICS and NIKE. 2.

3D 스포츠 게임에서 게이머로부터 직접제어를 받지 않고 스스로 동작하는 자율 캐릭터 에이전트들의 역할과 이를 활용한 광고기법에 대해 분석하였다. 이러한 접근은 게임과 광고를 접목한 학제 간 연구로써, 향후 광고가 게임업계의 수익모델로 생산적으로 활용될 수 있음을 의미한다. 분석을 위해 에이전트가 음성과 텍스트로 반응하는 3D 탁구게임과 게임 내 브랜드가 노출되는 간접광고를 직접 제작하였다. 제작 후 에이전트의 역할과 광고의 활용에 대한 게이머들의 태도를 측정하기 위해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 유의미한 내용이 발견되었다. 첫째, 3D 탁구게임에서 에이전트의 역할과 표현이 게임에 유용하게 작용한다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 둘째, 게임에 등장하는 광고에 대해 긍정적 태도를 갖고 있다는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 이는 게임 아이템을 광고적 요소로도 적용할 수도 있다는 가능성을 나탄 낸 것이다. 이러한 결과는, 기능성 게임과 여성향(woman-oriented) 게임에서의 도우미와 파트너 역할 연구를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
