Digital shadow puppet has traditionally relied on expensive motion capture equipments and complex design. In this paper, a low-cost driven technique is presented, that captures human pose estimation data with simple camera from real scenarios, and use them to drive virtual Chinese shadow play in a 2.5D scene. We propose a special method for extracting human pose data for driving virtual Chinese shadow play, which is called 2.5D human pose estimation. Firstly, we use the 3D human pose estimation method to obtain the initial data. In the process of the following transformation, we treat the depth feature as an implicit feature, and map body joints to the range of constraints. We call the obtain pose data as 2.5D pose data. However, the 2.5D pose data can not better control the shadow puppet directly, due to the difference in motion pattern and composition structure between real pose and shadow puppet. To this end, the 2.5D pose data transformation is carried out in the implicit pose mapping space based on self-network and the final 2.5D pose expression data is produced for animating shadow puppets. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of our new method.

Among elements of play, there are puppets performances and shadows performance which are replacing actors by puppets and shadows. Puppet performance is characteristic of expressing various movements and symbols at its conveniences by the reduced models of human form with various materials. Shadow performance is realized in various colors that cannot be discovered in other countries by expressing mysterious cubic effect in reflecting the light against various forms. Mansukjung Nolum is a unique shadow performance that has been inherited in Korea. There are found many shadow performances inherited in the northern Europe and South-eastern Asia. Recently the silhouette animation in application of shadow performance is made. In the northern Europe and South-eastern Asia, they performed in white and black color while Mansukjung Nolum is performed in natural colors. Since they adopted the leather materials for making puppets, their opaque feature cannot reflect the colored light. But in Korea we adopted the specially colored semi-transparent Korean paper, which gives the colored shadows to spectators. Mansukjung Nolum consists of three acts for arousing attention of fallen monks destroying the teaching of Buddha. Seosanbakchumji Nolum is a puppet performance inherited in a village in Seosan, Choongnam instead of wandering artists. The story and form of performance in Namsadangpae's puppet play is mostly similar to it, but it is woven by its villages natural environment and specific dialects, reflecting their consciousness in mind. The villagers made the puppets and manipulate them in communicating their wisdom of life between them. Parkchumji Nolum is a kind of integral art combining puppet manipulation, witticism, songs and dances. The hero of Parkchumji discloses the social and structural conflicts of feudalism, in arousing the spectators' rich attention of self-awareness and lessons.

Chinese shadow puppetry is an ancient form of drama with a long history. Known as the "mother of Chinese folk opera", it has rich cultural connotations and artistic value. At the same time, as a classic video game genre, side-scrolling games have many loyal fans around the world. However, in recent years, some previous entertainment cultures such as shadow puppetry are slowly disappearing. In contrast, video games play an increasingly important role in people's entertainment. Combining Chinese traditional culture with video games can be a great way to promote the preservation of these cultures. By making traditional culture more accessible and engaging, developers can help to ensure that these cultures continue to be enjoyed by future generations.The side-scrolling game is a classic game type, and it has many similarities with shadow puppetry. This paper will analyze the similarities and differences between Chinese shadow puppetry and horizontal version games, and try to explore how to organically integrate the two, so as to promote the inheritance and development of traditional culture, and promote cultural innovation and the development of creative industries.

다양한 인터랙티브 미디어에 대한 요구가 증가하면서, 최근 들어 키보드나 마우스 같은 기존의 방식을 벗어나는 대안적인 인터랙션 방식에 대한 연구가 활발해 지고 있다. 특히, 이러한 새로운 접근은 인터랙션 과정에서 사용자의 경험을 한층 풍부하게 한다는 측면에서 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나, 그것이 개별적이고 특수성을 띠는 경향이 있어서, 인터랙션 과정에서의 효과와 가능성에 대해 사전에 판단해야 할 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 디자인의 초기단계에서 행위 모형 기법을 응용하여 인터랙션 디자인을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 실험한다. 이를 '인터랙티브 모형(Interactive Prototyping)' 기법이라고 명 명한다. 사례연구로서, '그림자 극장'이라는 인터랙티브 인스톨레이션의 디자인 과정에서 위의 기법이 어떻게 적용되는지를 살펴보았다. '그림자 극장'은 아동들이 그림자를 비추고 스크린 상의 가상의 물체들과 인터랙션할 수 있도록 한 인스톨레이션이다. '그림자 극장'의 인터랙션을 디자인하기 위하여 초기 디자인 과정에서 인터랙티브 모형을 제작하고 이를 실제 아동들에게 사용토록 해 봄으로써, 디자인 개발에 활용하였다. 총 3회의 실험을 진행하였고, 실험을 통해 아동들이 가상의 물체들과 어떻게 인터랙션 하는지를 살펴보고 제안된 디자인을 개선하는 과정을 진행하였다.
