Abstract

As non-face-to-face culture melts into people's daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in the metaverse has also increased significantly. There are several types of metaverse depending on the purpose of applications. With this recent explosive interest in the metaverse platform and demanding applications on it, there have been various contents for metaverse in progress in industries. However, developing such contents has many real problems since there is no valuable guidelines for metaverse contents development in industry. In this study, we aim to propose a development guideline that developers can refer to for game-type metaverse content by comparative analysis of existing contents among various metaverse types. In the development guideline, we derive common characteristic components of representative features for game-type metaverse platforms and give explanations on developing strategies. Such proposed development guidelines are verified by game-type metaverse field experts by survey.

코로나 19 팬데믹으로 비대면 문화가 사람들의 일상에 녹아들면서 메타버스에 대한 관심도 크게 증가하였다. 메타버스는 목적에 따라 여러 형태가 존재한다. 메타버스에 대한 관심도 와 수요가 최근 급증하면서 다양한 메타버스 산출물의 개발과 공급이 진행되고 있지만, 산업체 개발자들이 참고할 수 있는 실질적인 산업체 친화적인 메타버스 콘텐츠 개발 가이드라인이 없어 개발에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 메타버스의 유형 중 게임형 메타버스 콘텐츠들을 비교 분석함으로써 개발자들이 게임형 메타버스 콘텐츠를 개발할 때 참고할 수 있는 개발 가이드라인을 작성하고자 한다. 개발 가이드라인에서는 대표적인 게임형 메타버스 플랫폼들의 공통되는 특징적 요소들을 정리하고 해당 요소들을 어떻게 개발해야하는지에 대하여 설명을 첨부하였다. 특징적 요소 도출 및 설명 첨부 이후 관련 전문가들을 대상으로 진행한 설문조사를 통해 개발 가이드라인의 적절성을 검증하였다.
