This study compares these two platforms with Gedertown and Zepeto, which have the largest number of users among metaverse that have grown rapidly due to various factors such as COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on the differences between avatars, usage fees, class rooms, and communication methods. Accordingly, the difference between 2D and 3D of the metaverse platform and the difference in camera use can be seen.

As a means of overcoming the linguistic barrier between different languages in the Internet, a new sign-language communication system with CG animation techniques has been developed and proposed. In the system, the joint angles of the arms and the hands corresponding to the gesture as a non-verbal communication tool have been considered. The emotional expression, however, could as play also an important role in communicating each other. Especially, a comic expression is more efficient than real facial expression, and the movements of the cheeks and the jaws are more important AU's than those of the eyebrow, eye, mouth etc. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a 3D emotion editor using 2D model, and we extract AU's (called as PAU, here) which play a principal function in expressing emotions. We also proposed a method of generating the universal emotional expression with Avatar models which have different vertex structures. Here, we employed a method of dynamically adjusting the AU movements according to emotional intensities. The proposed system is implemented with Visual C＋＋ and Open Inventor on windows platforms. Experimental results show a possibility that the system could be used as a non-verbal communication means to overcome the linguistic barrier.

The technology to build the virtual world metaverse is based on virtual augmented reality and electronic communication technology. Metaverse is establishing itself as a new industry in non-face-to-face society as a platform where users can engage in various activities such as play, work, consumption, and communication through avatars. In this paper, while interest in metaverse is increasing and it is expected to develop into a promising industry that will create a new market, this paper will examine the fields of application of metaverse and consider the development direction of the future metaverse industry.

The availability of computers and the wide network of the internet of the 'Information Society' has created a new space: Cyberspace. In this situations, the matters of individual identities and morality are more important problems. Korean classical novel, Gu Wun Mong, embodied the exploration process of identities in virtual spaces, has gravity of a situation. Seong Jin, the hero experienced the life of Yang so you went throughing virtual life, be born again. And he met eight taoist fairy in that virtual world. In this process, Seong Jin overcame a dualistic world of view and established identity of genuine truth-seeker. The 'Dream-fantasy' experience differentiation real world and virture world and give to Seong Jin a new identity, So You. Seong Jin used avatar, So You was free from limits of self and became obtain multiple personalities. Finally, Seong Jin realized the fact that real world and virtual one is the same, for development self-perception. Seong Jin's enlightment provided solutions for modern netizens, who is ambivalent about contradiction the real and virtual, infinity and clash of desire.

Since wireless communication cost is relatively expensive, the mobile games using cellular phones or PDAs are mostly played after being downloaded unlike more updated types of phone-to-phone or online games. In particular, the upbringing games, in which garners foster virtual companion animals or vegetables as their avata, have been spotlighted. It is essential to supply variety of items for upbringing avatas. However, due to diverse tastes for avatas and limited storage of mobile terminals, game manias must download their desired items from homepages. In addition, game developers must inform users through SMS messages whenever a new item is created. To do so, they must link WEB server and WAP server to Call Back URL or ARS. This paper proposed a linkage method suitable for JAVA-based mobile phone operating system. The proposed method will consequently increase life cycle of a game and reinforce profitability.

The sign-language can be used as an auxiliary communication means between avatars of different languages in cyberspace. At that time, an intelligent communication method can also be utilized to achieve real-time communication, where intelligently coded data (joint angles for arm gestures and action units for facial emotions) are transmitted instead of real pictures. In this paper, a method of generating the facial gesture CG animation on different avatar models is provided. At first, to edit emotional expressions efficiently, a comic-style facial model having only eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth is employed. Then generation of facial emotion animation with the parameters is also investigated. Experimental results show a possibility that the method could be used for the intelligent avatar communications between Korean and Japanese.

오늘날 네트워크 기술의 발전과 인터넷 보급이 대중화됨에 따라, 가상현실 기술로 구축된 인터넷상의 가상공간에 3차원 가상현실 기술을 접목하므로서, 가상현실이 제공하는 몰입감과 임장감을 체험하고 원거리의 네티즌과 동일한 가상환경을 공유하면서 상대방의 움직임과 동적 위치를 확인하고 의사 전달을 수행하고자 하는 요구가 발생하고 있다. 현재의 인터넷상에서의 웹은 HTML문서에 기반을 둔 정적인 2차원의 정보만을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 2차원의 인터넷에서도 3차원 정보를 표현할 수 있는 수단을 제공하는 VRML이 등장하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이 언어로 표현된 3차원 가상공간에서의 사용자간 이벤트를 중계하는 이벤트 중계 서버와 중계 서버들을 관리하는 위치 서버, 그리고 이들 서버와 통신하는 클라이언트와 인터넷상의 다른 세계를 관리할 수 있는 모듈을 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한 이를 통하여 가상공간에 참여하는 사용자를 나타내는 분신인 아바타를 통하여 각자의 가상공간을 체험하고 다른 참여자와 대화할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다.

가상현실(Virtual Reality)의 응용분야는 지금까지의 연구성과로 인하여 연구와 활용분야가 다양해지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 지금도 많은 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 그러나 통신의 발달로 인해 네트워크 사용이 생활화됨으로써 더이상 VRML(Virtual Reality Modeling Language) 이 Netscape Navigator Microsoft Internet Explorer같은 웹 브라우져상에서 단순한 3차원 오브젝트만을 보여주는 시기는 지났다. 사용자들은 3차원 오브젝트를 사용해서 공간적, 지역적으로 멀리 떨어져있는 상대방과의 실시간 대화는 물론 상대방의 행위를 보고 그에 대한 자신의 행위를 보여중으로써 현실감을 느끼고 싶어한다. 더욱이 가까운 미래에 수많은 사용자들은 3D를 기반으로 자신을 분신인 아바타를 사용하여 하나의 가상세계를 공유하고 가상 이벤트를 사용하여 하나의 가상세계를 공유하고 가상 이벤트에 참석을 하게 될 것이다. 이러한 종류의 어플리케이션을 제공하기 위해서는 3D그래픽스처리와 사용자 인터페이스 및 네트워크 환경을 제공해야만 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기존의 다중사용자용 VRML브라우저중의 하나인 OZ Virtual의 여러가지 비능에 대해서 살펴보고, VRML이 어떻게 대화식, 분산, 다중사용자 가상 세계에 적합하게 확장될 수 있는지를 두중사용자용 VRML시스템의 구조를 통해서 증명해 본다.

The objective of this paper is to develop mobile-based PACS(Picture Archiving Communication System: mPACS) for diagnostic medical image service available via Android-based mobile smartphone. The proposed mPACS provides an integrated platform for mobile application of diagnostic medical images stored in hospital PACS, and allows the smartphone to store, retrieve, manipulate and transfer the diagnostic medical images. Then, the mPACS platform includes the following features for use in the Android framework (i. e., diagnostic medical image processing) : transfer protocols between PACS, mPACS and smartphone, image format converter, JPEG and JPEG2000 coders, text and avatar search, and etc. This mPACS is shown to be useful and effective in providing a solution for mobile-based diagnostic medical image service.

The AR(Augmented Reality) is the technique that make the fusion between real world and virtual object. The augmented object on real world can provide the visualization of digital information to user. Also, the real-time AR system makes the interaction between user and computers. Therefore, the immersion of user be increasing and help the information transfer to user with AR system. In this paper, we implement the AR system with the modeled VRML as a three-dimensional object using programming language. The application technique is proposed that augment the various virtual clothes to three-dimensional avatar. Moreover, we propose the novel interface by using marker that can be increase the immersion of user.
