A navigation system for virtual environments using low-quality HMD(head mounted display)must quantize images when the system presents true-color image with restricted number of colors. Such navigation system quantizes an image by using fixed palette. If the system represents an image by using a variable palette which is made considering a region around the viewpoint then user can perceive a virtual environments more vividly because human visual system is sensitive to the colors variation in the region around the viewpoint. In this paper we propose a color quantization algorithm that quantize a region around the viewpoint more finely than other regions at each variation of viewpoint for virtual environments navigation system and compose virtual environments navigation system using proposed algorithm. The system quantizes an image at each variation of viewpoint and shows a quantized image to user through HMD. We tested user preferences for our proposed system and the results show that users preferred our system.

Virtual Reality (VR) represents a key technology for future shopping platforms. This study examined the effect of vividness and interactivity, the two technological characteristics of VR, and fashion involvement, a consumer characteristic, on a consumer's intent to use VR stores under the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study explained consumers' belief in a new technology and the process underlying the use behavior. The survey was conducted on 200 people between the ages of 20s and 30s via an online survey firm. Data are analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results showed that a greater level of perceived vividness had a positive effect on ease of use and playfulness, while perceived interactivity had a significant impact on usefulness and playfulness. The findings also indicated that consumers with a high degree of fashion involvement tend to perceive a higher level of playfulness through VR shopping. Regarding the effects of consumer beliefs, perceived ease of use had a positive influence on usefulness perception. A higher level of perceived usefulness and playfulness meant a higher consumer intention to adopt a VR shopping platform.

This paper conveys the limitations of analog natural history sample information in digital form, giving viewers interest and fun, and presenting the direction of digital diorama utilization of sample exhibitions. In this exhibition, through various media such as 10,000 won bill dramas and newspaper articles, the Sun and Moon and Five Peaks, a picture familiar to the public, was reproduced in media art so that it can be realized in real life. It is a Joseon Dynasty work in which five mountain peaks, a pair of waterfalls, and four pine trees are drawn symmetrically from side to side. In order to express the vividness of nature, the symbols of the sun and moon were created with the effect of light to maximize immersion, and animals such as waves, crane movements, deer, ramie butterflies, and carp were inserted under the mountain peaks to create the vividness of nature and creatures playing in them. The media art folding screen was produced and directed as a screen. In addition, the introduction of the work and information related to the living things in the work were provided through QR codes.

E-Learning 혹은 원격 강의 환경에서 아바타 애니메이션과 annotation을 이용한 강의 컨텐츠를 제작 하는 것은 많은 시간과 비용을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 웹 환경에서 아바타 애니메이션과 디지털 잉크(Digital ink) 기능을 지원하는 강의 컨텐츠를 디자인하고 공유하기 위한 아바타 기반 Annotation(Avatar Augmented Annotation), 즉 AAA 인터페이스 기법을 제안한다. AAA를 이용하여 강사는 복잡한 프로그래밍 언어나 스크립트를 사용하지 않고도 필기형식의 펜 입력을 통해 애니메이션과 Annotation이 복합된 강의 컨텐츠를 디자인 할 수 있다. 입력된 정보는 AAA를 통하여 XML 형식의 스크립트로 표현되고 이것은 강의 컨텐츠에 적용되어 아바타와 Annotation이 결합된 생동감있는 컨텐츠를 만들어낸다. 실험을 통하여 AAA 시스템은 기존의 온라인 교육 컨텐츠에 비해 교육적으로 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

현대에는 학습자에 대한 교육 방법으로 여러 전달 매체를 통한 원격교육이 중요하게 인식되고 있으며, 그중 컴퓨터를 이용한 원격교육이 많이 도입되고 있다. 여기에 고성능 컴퓨터의 보급과 초고속통신망의 구축으로 하드웨어적 환경이 뒷받침되면서 전통적인 교육방식인 면대면 수업과 같은 효율적이고 생동감 있는 학습의 전달이 가능해졌다. 그러나 웹 기반 원격교육은 일반적으로 상업성에 기초를 두고 있으므로 학습자의 요구와 특성에 따라 교과 내용이 결정되어 학습자가 원하지 않는, 듣기 싫은 과목 등에 대해서는 최소한의 학습을 보장하지 못하고 있다. 그리고 현재 이루어지고 있는 대부분의 원격교육에서는 교과목마다의 특성을 무시하고 일률적인 화면구성을 사용하는 경우가 대부분이다. 또한 멀티미디어 객체들 간의 시간적 연관성을 무시하고 각 멀티미디어 객체들을 독립적으로 표현하여 멀티미디어 교육의 장점을 잘 활용하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 스케줄러를 설계, 구현하여 학습자는 최소한의 학습진도를 유지할 수 있도록 하였고, 교수자는 담당 교과목이 재생될 때 학습자의 질의에 대해 즉각적으로 응답할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 SMIL을 이용해서 다중사용자 환경을 표현하고 이에 포함된 멀티미디어 객체들의 시간적 동시성과 연관성을 제시하여 학습자의 학습 능력과 집중력을 높일 수 있도록 하였다.

Nowadays, many robots have evolved to imitate human social skills such that sociable interaction with humans is possible. Socially interactive robots require abilities different from that of conventional robots. For instance, human-robot interactions are accompanied by emotion similar to human-human interactions. Robot emotional expression is thus very important for humans. This is particularly true for facial expressions, which play an important role in communication amongst other non-verbal forms. In this paper, we introduce a method of creating lifelike facial expressions in robots using variation of affect values which consist of the robot's emotions based on emotional boundaries. The proposed method was examined by experiments of two facial robot simulators.

Due to the increase of the Broadband Networks and Internet users culture contents in Virtual Environment such as education entertainment and culture are constantly demanded with respect to usability and effectiveness. Mostly existing virtual amusement land$ tend to retain limitations and shortcomings caused by two dimensional interface. This facts may have users directly search amusement facilities themselves resulting in lots of inconvenience. In the work here, a virtual amusement land led by 3D characters is presented. The interactive contents which users can actively participate in is developed.

while they cannot overcome the limitation that arises in the process of representing the 3D real world to the 2D plane. Also, there exists requirements on performance to support realtime navigation capability.In this paper, therefore, we propose a cell loading algorithm for navigating virtual space that can support realtime visualization according to the multimedia objects in variety and the change of the view point by user, and that can accommodate the capacity imposed in the process of navigation regardless of the number of objects.

본 논문에서는 실시간 음성 인식에 의한 립싱크(Lip-synchronization) 애니메이션 제공 방법에 관한 것으로서, 소정의 음성정보를 인식하여 이 음성 정보에 부합되도록 애니메이션의 입모양을 변화시켜 음성정보를 시각적으로 전달하도록 하는 립싱크 방법에 대한 연구이다. 인간의 실제 발음 모습에 보다 유사한 립싱크와 생동감 있는 캐릭터의 얼굴 형태를 실시간으로 표현할 수 있도록 마이크 등의 입력을 받고 신경망을 이용하여 실시간으로 음성을 인식하고 인식된 결과에 따라 2차원 애니메이션을 모핑 하도록 모델을 상고 있다.
