Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to establish an emotional expression factors of digital eye contents that can be applied to digital environments. The emotion which can be applied to the smart doll is derived and we suggest guidelines for expressive factors of each emotion. For this paper, first, we research the concepts and characteristics of emotional expression are shown in eyes by the publications, animation and actual video. Second, we identified six emotions -Happy, Angry, Sad, Relaxed, Sexy, Pure- and extracted the emotional expression factors. Third, we analyzed the extracted factors to establish guideline for emotional expression of digital eyes. As a result, this study found that the factors to distinguish and represent each emotion are classified four categories as eye shape, gaze, iris size and effect. These can be used as a way to enhance emotional communication effects such as digital contents including animations, robots and smart toys.

본 연구는 디지털 환경에 적용될 수 있는 디지털 눈 콘텐츠의 감성 표현 요소를 정립하는데 목적이 있다. 특히, 스마트 인형의 적용 가능한 감성을 도출하고, 각 감성에 대한 표현 요소의 가이드라인을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위하여 첫째, 문헌 정보, 애니메이션, 실제 사람의 영상을 바탕으로 눈으로 표현되는 감성 표현에 대한 개념 및 특징을 연구한다. 둘째, FGI를 통해 스마트 인형의 디지털 눈에 필요한 6가지 감정 -Happy, Angry, Sad, Relaxed, Sexy, Pure-을 정의하고, 각 감성에 따른 표현 요소를 추출하였다. 셋째, 추출된 요소를 분석하여 디지털 눈의 감성 표현에 대한 가이드라인을 정립하였다. 연구 결과 각 감성을 구분하고 표현하기 위한 요소는 눈매, 시선, 홍채 크기, 특수 효과의 총 4가지로 나타났고 각 감성 별로 구분되는 요소별 정의와 특징을 도출하였다. 얼굴 표정에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소인 눈에 대한 감성 표현 연구는 애니메이션을 포함한 디지털 콘텐츠와 로봇, 스마트 인형 등의 감성 커뮤니케이션 효과를 높일 수 있는 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
