As digital broadcasting process and information compressing technologies developed, digital technologies have been used extensively in many visual media such as movies and TV programs, and it is required to develop a new process for 3 dimensional digital programs. The study attempts to develop a new digital video-producing process through pre-simulation using a digital storytelling method, in order to increase the quality of broadcasting, reducing the producing time and improve efficiency. This system, supposed to be used to produce actual broadcasting, includes all tools needed for broadcasting in the program, so users can select an appropriate set among the pre-made library, which saves time for making sets. Also, it offers a storyboard making function by perfectly representing the functions of a virtual camera, and enables users to make the better storyboard, checking the real time movies. In addition, it recognizes objects though avatars, organizes the appropriate set for these avatars to act, and embodies a variety of avatar movements through which it reaffirms the camera's position and organization, minimizing errors and saving time and budget.

We propose a brain-machine interface(BMI) based human-robot interaction(HRI) platform which operates machines by interfacing intentions by capturing brain waves. Platform consists of capture, processing/mapping, and action parts. A noninvasive brain wave sensor, PC, and robot-avatar/LED/motor are selected as capture, processing/mapping, and action part(s), respectively. Various investigations to ensure the relations between intentions and brainwave sensing have been explored. Case studies-an interactive game, on-off controls of LED(s), and motor control(s) are presented to show the design and implementation process of new BMI based HRI platform.

아바타는 최근 각광 받고 있는 기술로서 다양한 분야에서 많은 활용 및 발전이 기대된다. 현재 아바타 행위 표현 및 제어를 위해 다양한 기법들이 연구되고 있으나, 대부분 객체와의 상호작용이 결여된 아바타 자체의 동작을 대상으로 하고 있다. 그러나 가상환경에서 아바타를 활용하기 위해서는 여러 객체와의 상호작용을 통한 행위가 필수적으로 요구되며, 이에 대한 아바타-객체간의 행위 모델 및 스크립트에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 3D 가상환경에서 아바타의 제어를 보다 용이하게 하기 위해서 아바타-객체 행위 표현을 위해 객체기반 아바타 행위 표현 및 제어 스크립트를 정의하였다. 제안 모델에서 는 단순히 객체가 모든 행위를 사용자에게 나열하는 것이 아니라, 객체 상태에 따라 사용가능한 적합한 행위를 사용자에게 제공하기 위해서 컨텍스트에 기반한 객체-아바타 행위 모델을 제안하고 있다. 제안 기법을 실제 3D 환경와 프로토타입 시스템으로 구현해본 결과, 사용자는 제안 객체 모델의 컨텍스트에 따라 변화하는 객체의 행위 인터페이스를 통하여 보다 용이하게 아바타-객체간의 행위를 제어할 수 있었다.

최근 정보기술의 발전에 가속화되면서 기존의 키보드나 마우스 같은 전통적인 제어장치들과는 달리 새로운 하드웨어 인터페이스들이 등장하고, 그에 따른 새로운 시각에서의 제어 방법들 등장하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Leap Motion이라는 새로운 하드웨어 인터페이스를 사용할 때 제공되는 단순한 위치 정보만 쓰는 것이 아니라 어떠한 위치에 있는지, 특정 동작을 취했을 때 모션 등과 같은 정보들도 함께 사용하기 위해 손과 손가락을 인식할 수 있도록 모션 인식방법을 제안하고, 제안된 기술을 기반으로 3D Avatar를 제어 및 편집 후 애니메이션을 만들어 공유할 수 있는 모션제어 저작SW를 개발하였다. 본 기술은 의료, 게임, 교육 등 다양한 분야에서 새로운 제어 기술로서 활용될 수 있으며, 기존의 공간 터치 기술과는 다른 장점을 제공할 것으로 예상된다.

Previous researches on scalability problem of distributed virtual environment (DVE) have been mainly focused on spatial partitioning of area of interest (AOI). Congestion phenomena by avatar groups in AOI have been neglected relatively However, AOI congestion is highly related to scalability of DVE because it exhausts system resources such as network bandwidth and rendering time, and could be a bar to perform collaboration among participants. In this paper, this will be defined as the problem that must be solved for the realization of the scalable DVE, and a model will be proposed to measure and control congestion situation in AOI. The purposes of the proposed model are to prevent high density of participants in AOI, and to protect stable collaboration in DVE. For evaluation of the performance it is compared with a previous method by defining the resource cost model which is dynamically activated to AOI congestion.

After successful advent of Microsoft's Kinect, many interactive contents that control user's 3D avatar motions in realtime have been created. However, due to the Kinect's intrinsic IR projection problem, users are restricted to face the sensor directly forward and to perform all motions in a standing-still position. These constraints are main reasons that make it almost impossible for the 3D character to navigate the virtual environment, which is one of the most required functionalities in games. This paper proposes a new method that makes 3D character navigate the virtual environment with highly realistic motions. First, in order to find out the user's intention of navigating the virtual environment, the method recognizes walking-in-place motion. Second, the algorithm applies the motion splicing technique which segments the upper and the lower motions of character automatically and then switches the lower motion with pre-processed motion capture data naturally. Since the proposed algorithm can synthesize realistic lower-body walking motion while using motion capture data as well as capturing upper body motion on-line puppetry manner, it allows the 3D character to navigate the virtual environment realistically.

A sense of oneness between a player and an avatar is more emphasized than role-playing itself in Korean RPG playing. Because of this tendency, the main contents of smart phone-based mobile RPG are mainly focus on combat. As PvP occurs more frequently in mobile RPG, playing experiences are diversified from sensitive control to simple repetition. Also, the auto-combat function offered in game system ingenerates funs from testing a mental model that a player statistically sets before playing. This paper analyzes the process of generating fun in mobile RPG based on Ralph Koster's Game Grammar theory. is selected as subject of this analysis. The pattern of mobile RPG playing is dichotomized : automation of producing materials and concentration on raid and PvP contents.

Human and robot will have closer relation in the future, and we can expect that the interaction between human and robot will be more intense. To take the advantage of people's innate ability of communication, researchers concentrated on the facial expression so far. But for the robot to express emotional intensity, other modalities such as gesture, movement, sound, color are also needed. This paper suggests that the intensity of emotion can be expressed with color and blinking so that it is possible to apply the result to LED. Color and emotion definitely have relation, however, the previous results are difficult to implement due to the lack of quantitative data. In this paper, we determined color and blinking period to express the 6 basic emotions (anger, sadness, disgust, surprise, happiness, fear). It is implemented on avatar and the intensities of emotions are evaluated through survey. We figured out that the color and blinking helped to express the intensity of emotion for sadness, disgust, anger. For fear, happiness, surprise, the color and blinking didn't play an important role; however, we may improve them by adjusting the color or blinking.

Many researchers are studying about human Brain-Computer Interface(BCI) that it based on electroencephalogram(EEG) signals of multichannel. The researches of EEG signals are used for detection of a seizure or a epilepsy and as a lie detector. The researches about an interface between Brain and Computer have been studied robots control and game of using human brain as engineering recently. Especially, a field of brain studies used EEG signals is put emphasis on EEG artifacts elimination for correct signals. In this paper, we measure EEG signals as human emotions and divide it into five frequence parts. They are calculated related the percentage of selecting range to total range. the calculating values are compared standard values by Bayesian Network. lastly, we show the human face avatar as human Emotion.
