Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new paradigm of augmented reality board game environment and a portable game assistant(PGA) which can help gamers with strategy information. Previous AR board games consist of a private and public space. The public space provides rules of the game and shows the scene of game. And the gamers control game pieces in the public space. The previous games use the RFIDs for recognizing positions of the pieces, and the VR/AR environment for providing the scene of the game. However the RFIDs are expansive, and the VR/AR environment is inconvenient because it uses additional devices: the DataGlove, the digital pen, and the HMD. The proposed system recognizes positions of real pieces using the computer vision technique, and uses a monitor to provide dynamic effects. In the private space, previous systems provide entire screen of game and position of specific pieces, but cannot be controled the pieces by gamers. Therefore, in this system, we provide PGA that helps the user to plan of the strategy individually using universally mobile. The PGA helps to plan the strategy in the individual area, and to play easily in the side of the user's convenience.

본 논문에서는 새로운 형태의 실감형 보드게임환경과 사용자에게 필요한 게임 전략을 제공하여 줄 수 있는 PGA(portable game assistant)를 제안한다. 기존의 실감형 보드게임 제작은 바둑게임 말의 위치를 인식하기 위하여 고가의 RFID 기술을 사용하고, 게임의 화면을 제공하기 위하여 증강현실이나 가상현실을 이용한다. 하지만 RFID 기술은 고가이며, 증강현실과 가상현실은 실제감을 주기는 하지만 데이터글러브, 전자펜, HMD 등의 보조 장치를 필요로 하고 이러한 장비는 고가이며, 사용 시 불편하다는 단점이 있다. 본 시스템에서는 게임 화면에 동적이고 화려한 그래픽을 지원하기 위하여 모니터를 사용하며, 바둑게임의 말을 컴퓨터 비젼 기술을 사용하여 인식한다. 또한 모바일을 사용하여 사용자의 조작에 의해 쉽게 전략을 짤 수 있는 PGA를 제공한다. PGA를 통하여 전체적인 게임 진행상황과 앞으로의 전략적인 계획을 세워줌으로써 사용자에게 게임의 습득 속도와 재미를 더욱 충족시켜 주는 것을 목적으로 한다.
