디지털 기술의 발전은 인간 생활에 큰 변화를 가져다주었다. 이와 같은 디지털 기술의 발전으로 변화된 인간 생활 중 가장 큰 변화는 기술의 발전 이전에 사용되던 각종 제품 및 도구들이 디지털 기술의 힘으로 새롭게 재탄생하고 있다는 점이다. 재탄생된 제품 및 도구들은 사람과 제품간의 경계를 무너뜨리고 서로 융합되고 있다. 이러한 제품들 중에서 대표적으로 Digital Mirror를 들 수 있다. 기존 인간 생활에서 사용되던 일반적인 Mirror가 최근 들어 Digital Mirror라는 새로운 형태의 제품으로 연구되어 지고 있다. 이러한 Digital Mirror는 일상생활 속에서 기존 거울을 대체하고 있으며, 인터렉티브 미디어 아트에서도 많이 응용되고 있다. 현재 Digital Mirror는 광고, 인터렉티브 아트 등의 분야에서 다양한 형태의 콘텐츠가 개발되고 있다. 하지만 Digital Mirror를 새로운 제품 산업군으로 확대하여 신사업을 창출하기 위해서는 수많음 사용자들의 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있는 인터렉티브한 콘텐츠 제작을 해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Digital Mirror의 인터렉티브한 콘텐츠 제작을 목적으로, 기존의 인터렉티브한 콘텐츠 사례를 중점적으로 연구하여 새로운 콘텐츠 아이디어를 도출하였다. 아이디어를 통해 어린이 사용자를 타켓으로 새로운 사용경험을 제공해 줄 수 있는 컨셉을 정하여 인기 애니메이션 캐릭터를 사실적으로 체험할 수 있게 해주는 콘텐츠 제작방향을 설정하여 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 놀이와 참여, 상호작용을 통한 새로운 디지털 놀이 도구라는 개념으로 AR기술을 이용해 캐릭터를 좀더 사실적으로 체험 할 수 있도록 제작하였다. 어린이 사용자가 캐릭터 마커를 착용하고 Digital Mirror앞에 서게 되면 캐릭터 마커에 해당되는 3차원 입체영상 애니메이션 캐릭터가 어린이 사용자의 모습과 합성되어 사실적인 캐릭터 콘텐츠를 체험 할 수 있게 해 주는 콘텐츠이다. 어린이들에게 인기 있는 캐릭터를 3D로 제작하여 캐릭터 소스로 활용하였고 이를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있도록 어플리케이션 저작툴을 개발 완료하여 제작하였다. 그리고 평판 디스플레이를 이용하여 실제 Prototype 제작하였다.
