미디어 플랫폼의 다양화로 인하여 다양한 교육방법이 시도되고 있으며, 특히 교육용기능성게임은 G-learning 베이스로 새로운 교육방법으로 제시되고 있다. 하지만 "게임"이라는 부정적 인식으로 인하여 저변확대가 이루어지고 있지 않다. 게임을 즐기고 자라난 게임세대들에 대한 인식전환과 교육용 기능성게임에 대한 교육적 효과검증을 통하여 교육용 기능성게임을 새로운 교육방법으로 활용하기 위하여는 사회적 인식전환과 저변확대가 우선순위이다. 이를 위하여는 일반인들에게 교육용기능성게임을 알릴 수 있는 대회를 활성화하여 인식의 전환과 효과를 직접 체험할 수 있도록 해야한다. 이를 위하여 국내외 교육용 기능성게임대를 분석하고 활성화 방안을 모색하여 새로운 교육패러다임전환에 기여할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이는 향후 국내 교육용 기능성게임 유저를 확산시켜줄 뿐만 아니라, 새로운 교육적 방법으로 활용할 수 있는 계기를 제시할 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of Serious games in immersive Metaverse platform to provide users both fun and intriguing learning experiences. We proposes a serious game for self-trainable fire evacuation drill with collaboration among avatars synchronized with multiple trainees and optionally with real-time supervising placed at different remote physical locations. The proposed system architecture is composed of wearable motion sensors and a Head Mounted Display to synchronize each user's intended motions to her/his avatar activities in a cyberspace in Metaverse environment. The proposed system provides immersive as well as inexpensive environments for easy-to-use user interface for cyber experience-based fire evacuation training system. The proposed configuration of the user-avatar interface, the collaborative learning environment, and the evaluation system on the VR serious game are expected to be applied to other serious games. The game was implemented only for the predefined fire scenario for buildings, but the platform can extend its configuration for various disaster situations that may happen to the public.

본 논문에서는 급변하는 국내 게임시장 현황을 다각적으로 검토하고자 한다. 현재 두드러지게 변화 된 부분을 살펴보면 플랫폼의 변화로 인한 연련 층, 성별의 변화가 지속적으로 변화 되고 있고, 모바일 시장의 TV광고의 경쟁적 출혈로 인해 빈익빈부익부 형태의 이분화 된 성향이 더 심해지고 있고, 중국시장의 국내 투자로 인한 경기력이 단기적으로는 회복이 되고는 있으나 장기적으로는 결국 중국시장의 경제 논리에 제어 될 수 있는 상황으로 바뀌고 있는 이러한 현황 등을 분석하여 다각적으로 헤쳐나갈 수 있는 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
