There has been some research into a speech system for communications between those who are hearing impaired and those who hear normally, but the system has been pursued in inefficient teaching ways in which existing teachers teach each individual due to social indifference and a lack of marketability. In order to overcome such a weakness, there appeared to be a need to develop contents utilizing 3D animation and digital technology. For the investigation of a standard face and a standard spherical shape for the preparation of a character, the study collected sufficient data concerning students in the third-sixth grades in elementary schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi, Korea, and drew up standards for a face and a spherical shape of such students. This data is not merely the basic data of content development for the hearing impaired, but it can also offer a standard measurement and a standard type realistically applicable to them. As a system for understanding conversations by applying 3D character animation and educating self-expression, the character speech animation system supports effective learning for language education for hearing impaired children who need language education within their families and in special education institutions with the combination of 3D technology and motion capture.

디지털콘텐츠는 기획, 제작 및 유통, 구입에서 결제, 이용까지 모두 네트워크와 PC로 처리되는 전자상거래의 독자적인 분야이다. 문학, 음악, 미술, 만화, 영화, 캐릭터, 애니메이션, 컴퓨터게임, 광고 등 저작물을 디지털 방식으로 제작·처리·유통한다. 디지털콘텐츠의 제작을 위해서는 하드웨어로서의 컴퓨터 시스템, 소프트웨어로서의 운영체제와 플랫폼, 콘텐츠 유통채널로서의 디지털 방송망, 유무선 정보통신망, DVD등 패키지 미디어에 대한 기본적인 이해를 필요로 한다. 그 외 프로그래밍 언어, 2D·3D 컴퓨터그래픽 기술, 사운드 및 음악 제작기술, 다양한 콘텐츠 저작 도구 등에 대한 이해가 필요하다.

This paper aims to propose the typology suitable for games by analyzing the fashion styles of game characters and define the characteristics by type. The data collected was classified into the style groups with similarities, and the game character styles were named using representative terms. Then, five styles were identified and analyzed with the focus on clothing, hairstyle, and accessories: Creative Style, Attractive Style, Grotesque Style, Usual Style, and Suit Style. Creative Style was the unique style with partial addition or removal as the creative design. Attractive Style expressed the sexual attraction by design with significant exposure of body parts and skintight design. Grotesque Style showed grotesque, eerie, and dreary design. Usual Style was a plain and practical style. Finally, Suit Style was a kind of armor covering the whole body. The analysis results in this paper will bridge the difference of opinions between gamers and developers related to fashion style and, finally, help to enhance the competitiveness of game design.

Visual perception information acquired through human eyes contains much information on how to view visual stimuli using eye tracking technology, it is possible to acquire and analyze consumer visual information as quantitative data. These measurements can be used to measure emotions that customers feel unconsciously, and they can be directly collected by numerically quantifying the character's search response through eye tracking. In this study, we traced the character's area of interest (AOI) and found that the average of fixation duration, count, average of visit duration, count, and finally the time to first fixation was analyzed. As a result of analysis, it was found that there were many cognitive processing processes on the face than the character's body, and the visual attention was high. The visual attention of attraction factor has also been able to verify that attraction is being presented as an important factor in determining preferences for characters. Based on the results of this study, further studies of more characters will be conducted and quantitative interpretation methods can be used as basic data for character development and factors to be considered in determining character design.

The styles by character type in customizing systems were analyzed, being classified into creative style, attractive style, grotesque style, usual style, and suit style on the basis of the 'fashion style types of game characters' proposed in the previous research. The creative and convergent designs that couldn't be implemented in reality were expressed in various forms because those designs were created in virtual space, one feature of games. The analysis of the fashion styles of characters was focused on the RPG using the characters with exaggerated body proportions beyond the general body proportions in reality and the features on game characters that were identified by gamers. Thus, the creative style and attractive style showed a high frequency. The common features were identified because the costume designs and colors for characters are generally selected in accordance with the gamers' requests or by reflecting the view on the world. However, it was difficult to find out the representative cases for hair designs and colors because of excessively diverse expressions. The results of this paper will be a valuable reference for the research on the fashion item development manual satisfying the gamers' personalities and requests and relevant research.

TFT Color LCD 가 보급화되면서 모바일 폰 뿐만 아니라 우리 생활에 친근하게 사용되고 있는 가전 제품 인터페이스 영역에도 점차 그 활용범위가 넓어지고 있는 추세이다. 또, 가전 제품의 역할이 단순히 식품을 보관하거나 집안의 온도를 시원하게 바꿔주는 기본 기능 중심에서, 가족간 커뮤니케이션을 돕는 역할 또는 다양한 정보를 전달해주는 엔터테인먼트 기능 중심으로 변화해 가고 있다. 최근 이러한 복잡한 기능을 편리하게 수행하면서도 동시에 가족 모두가 사용할 수 있는 친근한 인터페이스 디자인을 개발하는데 있어서 캐릭터라는 소재는 유용하게 활용 되고 있다. 가전 제품에서 캐릭터의 활용 부분은 첫 번째, 사용자에게 피드백 정보를 좀더 친근하게 전달하는 것이다. 제품의 상태나 어떤 동작에 대한 수행 결과를 텍스트 혹은 아이콘 위주의 전달 방법보다 좀더 친근하게 표현할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 두 번째는 프로그래스 애니메이션 부분이다. 제품이 어떤 기능을 수행하고 있는지 캐릭터의 동작을 통해 명확하게, 그리고 재미있게 전달해주는 기능이다. 세 번째는 메시지 전달 측면이다. 가족간의 메모 전달이나 생일, 기념일 등에 대한 축하 메시지를 캐릭터가 메신저 역할을 함으로써 좀더 밝고 경쾌한 환경을 만들어준다. 마지막으로, 대기화면이나 화면보호기 부분이다. 제품을 사용하지 않는 상태에서 사용자가 원하는 이미지로 설정이 가능하도록 하여 개인화 부분을 충족시킬 수 있다. 이와 같이, 멀티미디어 기기나 모바일 폰과 같은 개인 중심형 제품이 아닌 가족 중심형 가전 제품의 인터페이스 디자인에는 친근한 이미지가 부가된 캐릭터의 활용이 사용성은 물론 감성적 측면에서도 좀더 사용자 중심의 인터페이스 디자인을 완성해 가는데 긍정적인 역할을 수행할 것이다.
