초록

본 논문에서는 차세대 게임 인터페이스를 활용한 기능성 런닝게임을 제시한다. 게임은 2인용 대결방식으로 개발하였으며, 방식은 다음과 같이 나뉜다. 첫째, 뇌파측정기를 이용하여 사용자1의 감정 변화, 집중력의 강도, 안면의 움직임을 측정한다. 둘째, 모션 캡쳐 장치인 키넥트를 이용하여 사용자2의 달리기, 좌우 방향전환, 점프 등의 모션을 측정한다. 본 게임의 핵심은 사용자의 뇌파 그래프가 실시간으로 게임내의 맵의 형태로 표현되는 것이다. 사용자는 자신의 뇌파가 게임 내의 맵으로 시각화되는 것을 보며 뇌파를 스스로 조절하는 학습능력을 배울 수 있다. 따라서 사용자1은 이러한 기능성 게임을 플레이하면서 뇌의 활성화를 통한 집중력 향상을 꾀할 수 있고, 사용자2는 실제로 달리고 점프하는 동작을 통한 운동능력을 증진하는 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

This paper is about a serious game controlled by EEG and motion capture. We developed our game for 2 users competitive and its method is as follows. One player uses a controlling interface using EEG signals based on the premise that the player's facial movements are a depiction of the player's emotion and intensity throughout the game play. The other player uses a controlling interface using kinect's motion capture technology which captures the player's vertical and lateral movements as well as state of running. The game shows the first player's EEG as a real-time graphic along the map on the game screen. The player will then be able to pace himself based on these visualization graphics of his brain activities. This results in higher concentration for the player throughout the game for a better score in the game. In addition, the second player will be able to improve his physical abilities since the game action is based on real movements from the player.
