The current study investigated the effect of user interface design on metaverse user's objective task performance, perceived usefulness, presence, and enjoyment. Using a 2 × 2 within-subject repeated measure experimental design, we found that users perceived the interface to be significantly more useful when additional visual cues existed and performed better for the given task. Additionally, a repeated-measure mediation analysis revealed that the effect of richer information in the interface on users' enjoyment as a function of need satisfaction was mediated by perceived usefulness. Theoretical and practical implication are derived from the result of the current study.

메타버스는 가상, 초월을 의미하는 '메타'(meta)와 세계, 우주를 의미하는 '유니버스'(universe)를 합성한 신조어이다. 메타버스는 기본적으로 가상의 세계이다. 그러나 향후 현실과 메타버스가 공존한 세상에서 태어나 성장할 아이들에겐 메타버스 자체가 현실의 일부이고 메타버스를 통한 소통과 사회활동이 일상이 될 것이다. 메타버스 안에서 학습, 놀이, 휴식, 경제활동 등 일상의 모든 현실과 연속성을 띠고 소통하면서 가상세계의 나와 현실의 내가 직접적인 영향을 주는 세상이 될 것이다. 이 기술들을 인간 생활에서 가장 중요한 부분일 수 있는 커뮤니케이션 활성화에 활용하기 위해서는 기술과 인간에 대한 많은 고민과 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Advanced technologies and techniques make it possible to express digital animation with higher quality. Characters in the virtual animation space are playing an important role in emphasizing the human audiences or interacting directly with them. The movement of characters gives them vital power, and shows their intentions and emotions. To analyze the emotion of character movements, the study develops basic movement sources based on Laban's property elements of movement such as time, space, and flow, and tries to find the relationship between their movements and the emotions they arouse by positioning them on Plutchik's emotional circle. We find that each element of 9 movements represent its own emotion consistently, and has influence on the intensity of emotions clearly.

The communication via MIM(Mobile Instant Messenger) has unique characteristics; one of them is use of emoticons. Although using emoticons in MIM is getting a lot of attention from business fields and emoticons markets in MIM is growing rapidly, there are little researches focused on emoticons in MIM in consumer behaviors and marketing area. So, the purpose of this study is to fill this theoretical and practical gap. For this purpose, we explore the effect of and trust in MIM system and attitude toward use of emoticons on purchase intention to emotions in MIM. Our study used structural equation modeling analysis; the results showed that perceived benefits and perceived risk to MIM affected trust in MIM system significantly, more specifically, while perceived benefits affected trust in MIM system positively, perceived risk affected trust in MIM system negatively. We also found that perceived usefulness of emoticon in MIM and flow experience influenced attitude toward use of emoticons positively. Lastly, trust in MIM system and attitude toward use of emoticons had positive effect on purchase intention to emoticons in MIM. The implication and limitations of this study are also discussed.
