We introduce a novel complete framework for contructing realistic facial animations given just one facial photo as an input in this paper. Our approach is carried on in 2D photo spacem not 3D space. Moreover, we utilize computer vision-based technique (digital matting) as well as conventional image processing methods (image warping and texture synthesis) for expressing more realistic facial animations. Simulated results show that our scheme produces high quality facial animations very efficiently.

This paper proposes how to develop a multi-sensory virtual reality system based on realistic media that can improve the sense of immersion and reality experienced by the user. We suggest four types of multi-sensory virtual reality system; a realistic media experience system which provides sensory experiences to user by interlocking the media file with the sensory informations and reproducing the sensory information suitable for the scene, a real image-based panorama experience system which maximizes the sense of reality, an experience ball system in which users engage themselves into the system environment to lead the story and immersion of the content through interaction with the system, and a cultural heritage experience system based on hand movement recognition. The suggested systems can be applied in a various area such as education, advertisement, culture and arts, performance, exhibition, sports, game, 4D Experience Center, and so on. We supposed that it can contribute to create a variety of sensible contents services in the realistic media industry through the convergence of media, contents, and devices.

Recently, there are several active and vibrant studies on Realistic Media that try to provide the immersion and the presence by adding sensory effects to video. Because existing sensory effects on Realistic Media are produced through experts and automation programs on sensory effects, there is a limit to fill up the gap of user satisfaction which comes from the diversity of cybernauts. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the satisfaction with sensory effects by collecting and analyzing user's response information, and applying the result to the attributes of sensory effects. The proposed method allows you to produce the Sensory Effect Metadata effectively by analyzing users' biometric data and subjective satisfaction with realistic media experience, measuring the weighted value to revise the effects, and applying to the attribute of sensory effect. The experimental result shows that the proposed method improves the satisfaction with realistic content by generating the revised Sensory Effect Metadata in response to user's experiential feedback information.

CG and Photo-realistic image composition in the ocean scenes is frequently used in movies and TV advertisement. But it is very difficult task because it's impossible to use calibration tool in outdoor environment or to use auto-calibration algorithm using natural features like KLT(Kanade Lucas Tomasi feature tracker) from the ocean scene. We propose a simple, effective method for solving camera motion using previous knowledge about background structure. We applied our method to the production of a commercial movie, 'Hanbando' and the result was satisfactory.

Due to the development of science and technology and the emergence of new industries, the environmental change of the digital contents industry is rapidly progressing. The scope of technological development in the digital contents industry is affecting not only the entertainment industry but also various industries. Recently, with the development of digital convergence using realistic content, games, video, and VR have provided new opportunities for the growth of the content industry. The researcher determined that a new education system would need to be changed as the digital contents industry developed. For this purpose, an AHP questionnaire was conducted for experts with a high basic understanding of the education platform based on previous studies. We proposed a platform model for human resource development as an education system that meets the demand of digital contents industry. The education system for nurturing talents needed by future society should include elements that can interest the learning of users. The platform should not be approached from a system point of view, but should be developed from the content and user's point of view, considering the platform's original purpose.

In this paper, we propose a story generation system using multi emotional agents. The proposed multi emotional agents are equipped with multiple emotional model so that it can be used as individually personalized agents that can generates unique storylines. Basically these kinds of multi emotional agents are easily employed as Avatar or NPC in computer games. In the proposed system, emotional agents are used as actor or actress whose characters and preferences are different each other. The storylines generated using the proposed system are realistic since the characters are emotional as humans.

Digital communities' spaces have been very popular through communication contents provide entertainment and usability. Emoticons provide simply emotional expressions and intension, so they weakly convey a realistic sense as they are designed by 2D graphics. However, 3D Avatars presented by 3D Computer Graphics make users interesting because of delivering senses of reality and three-dimension and amuse users because of representing their characters. It is the purpose of this study to analyze design examples of emoticons and avatars applying to personal messengers and propose the development of them. In addition, this paper researches various characteristics of emoticons and avatars for web and mobile phones, and suggests a strategy to usefully and properly apply emoticons and avatars to design.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the features of inquiry activities using technology in the 2015 revised elementary science digital textbooks. For this, we analyzed the features of inquiry context and inquiry method presented in inquiry activities using three kinds of technology: Virtual experiment, virtual reality and augmented reality. As a result, firstly, the most common types of 77 inquiry activities were realistic type which shows the phenomenon actually and vividly as possible and realistic-abstract type which shows the phenomena with the abstract concepts. Second, the ways of using three technologies were different depending on the processes of inquiry and the sub-domains of science. For example, virtual experiment technologies were mostly used in the contents of physics and chemistry with the inquiry context of realistic-abstract type for investigating the relationship between variables of experiments and describing the phenomena mechanically. On the other hand, virtual reality and augmented reality techniques tended to be used more frequently in biology and earth science contents with the inquiry context of realistic type for observing and describing the phenomena. Finally, we discussed educational implications in terms of developing and applying technology-based inquiry activities.
