This paper proposes a way to visualize the cyber space with respect to the offline space. In general, people have difficulties to understand the cyber space since it is not tangible and not visible. In businesses, both spaces depend on identical proposition of "salse of merchandise goods to customers". Here, 3 merchandise elements of "customers", "merchandise goods" and "salse" in the cyber space are compared to them in the offline spaces in order to visualize the cyber space in terms of businesses.

ICTs(Information and Communication Technologies) have changed the ways of social activities and communications, and in the process, online and offline spaces have been thought of as binary spaces in which online spaces substitute and erode offline spaces. The aim of this study is to explore how urban space where local social activities and communications are performed is constructed in terms of timespace through the intersection of online and offline communications and how the urban space is 'remediated' through online spaces. For this, the study looks at the case of a workshop on 'locality education' held at the Yeungnam University Museum in January 2013. Criticizing the dichotomist viewpoint that increasing in communications through online spaces results in the expansion of 'absent presence' or 'placelessness' in offline spaces, the study argues that online spaces remediating offline spaces are spaces not transcending the timespace constraints of the offline spaces but rather reflecting the spatial, temporal, material, social, cultural environments of urban space and place.

The emergence of smart devices and IoT leads to the appearance of O2O service to blur the difference between online and offline. As online services' merits were added to the offline market, it caused a change in the dynamics of the offline industry, which means the offline-space's digitization. Unlike these changing aspects of the offline market, exhibition industry grows steadily in the industry, however it is also possible to create a new value added by combining O2O service. We conducted a survey targeting 20 spectators in '2015 Seoul Design Festival' at COEX. The survey was used to analysis of the spatial structure and generate the dataset for machine learning. We identified problems with the analysis study of the existing spatial structure, and based on this investigation we propose a new method for analyzing a spatial structure. Also by processing a machine learning technique based on the generated dataset, we propose a novel evaluation model of exhibition-space cells for O2O service layout.

This research investigated the relationship between MMORPG players' leadership-related game experience and offline leadership using online survey samples(N=664). According to the correlation results, MMORPG players' leadership-related game experience, age, game usage time and offline leadership exhibited a significantly positive relationship. When players had more leadership-related game experience, they reported higher offline leadership scores. In terms of "spillover effect", more valuable implications of using MMORPGs are discussed in conclusion.

메타버스는 게임 기술을 활용하여 현실의 다양한 현상이나 경제 활동들을 가상의 세계로 구현하고 이를 실세계와 유사하게 동작하도록 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 플랫폼을 일컫는 말로서 최근의 코로나19 펜데믹 상황과 맞물려 주목 받고 있는 게임 확장 기술군의 하나라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 지역 관광 활성화를 위해 지역 대표 관광지의 시그니처(signature) 구조물들과 공간을 메타버스 플랫폼 상에 구현하고 구현된 공간에서 사용자간의 커뮤니케이션을 통해 관광 수요를 촉진시키며, 오프라인 이벤트와의 유기적인 연동을 통해 궁극적인 관광 활성화에 기여하기 위한 온오프라인 연계 메타버스 콘텐츠를 구현한다. 구현된 메타버스 콘텐츠에서는 개인별로 설정된 캐릭터를 활용해 구현된 가상 공간에서 상호작용이 가능하도록 구성하여 가상 공간에서 체득된 정보를 온라인 상에서 자유롭게 교환할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 구현된 관광 메타버스 콘텐츠는 샌드박스형 메타버스 플랫홈으로 개발된 디토랜드를 기반으로 한다.

프로젝션 디스플레이 시스템(PDS)을 사용한 Advanced Paper Document (APD)는 오프라인 문서와 온라인 문서의 장점을 모두 가지고 있다. PDS는 가상의 물체를 실제 세계에 공간적으로 연결하여 줌으로써 사용자에게 더욱 풍부한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문은 단순하게 오프라인 문서에 대한 온라인 정보를 보여주는 APD의 기능을 확장한, 사용자가 직접 오프라인 문서에 온라인 정보들을 삽입, 삭제, 수정할 수 있는 Advanced Documents Authoring Tool (ADAT)을 제안한다. ADAT는 PDS 위에 놓여진 실제의 오프라인 문서와 가상의 온라인 정보를 직관적으로 연결해준다. 사용자가 전자펜을 통하여 문서를 선택하면, 작업 공간 위쪽에 설치된 카메라를 통하여 문서의 영상을 입력받고, 해당 문서의 기존에 저장되어있는 정보를 검색한 후, 프로젝터를 통하여 문서 위에 투영해줌으로써, 사용자에게 온라인 정보를 제공한다.

최근 다양한 디지털 컨텐츠를 온라인의 서버와 오프라인의 개인 컴퓨터 혹은 소형 정보기기에서 공유하여 사용이 가능하도록 도와주는 시스템과 서비스들이 출현하고 있다. 이와 같은 시스템은 사용자가 언제, 어느 곳에 있더라도 원하는 디지털 컨텐츠에 접근할 수 있도록 도와준다는 장점을 갖고 있으며, 또한 해당 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권을 보호할 수 있다는 부가적인 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 이들 시스템은 도입 초기에 대부분의 개발자들이 저지르기 쉬운 기능 중심적 사고에 치우친 시스템인 경우가 많다. 이들 기능 중심적인 시스템은 사용자가 해당 시스템을 어떻게 인지할 것인지에 대한 이해가 부족한 한계를 갖고 있으며, 이는 결국 시스템의 사용 편의성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 컨텐츠를 온라인과 오프라인에서 공유하여 사용할 수 있는 시스템의 구조적 메타포로 공간을 선택하였다. 사용자의 시스템 환경으로서 온라인과 오프라인, 그리고 사용자가 디지털 컨텐츠를 이용하여 수행하는 과업으로서 관리/저장과 사용으로 시스템의 구조를 구분하였으며, 이상의 구분에 따라 공간의 메타포를 이용하여 시스템을 디자인하였다. 이와 같이 구분한 시스템의 공간에 따라 사용자가 시스템에 대하여 갖는 관여도와 동기를 측정하였으며, 관여도의 수준과 동기의 차원에 따라 사용 편의성을 높일 수 있는 디자인 요소로서 시스템을 구현하고 있는 색상들 사이의 대비 수준과 색상의 색조 차원을 규명하고자 한다.

The advent of realistic technologies such as AR has extended the interaction area from the computer environment to the offline space. As demand is expected to increase in the future, the need for study on interactive storytelling that mediates online and offline is emerging. This study proposes a storytelling structure to achieve a balance between interactivity and narrativity in interactive narrative characterized by online and offline mediation. According to a case study of ARG and AR games based on Henry Jenkins' theory of 'Environmental Storytelling', there should be a balance between the space designed by the game designer and the space created by the player's interaction, and the roles should be properly distributed in both online and offline spaces to contribute to the formation of narrative together. In addition, it is necessary to borrow the characteristics of ARG that achieves a balance of interactivity and narrativity based on offline spatiality. The significance of this study is to expand the area of interactive storytelling, which has been discussed centering on online, to offline, and to suggest the interaction area as a factor to consider. In addition, as a basic study related to storytelling that mediates online and offline, it is expected to provide a direction for the development of content based on realistic technologies.

In recent times, more fashion brands have been seeking ways to use metaverse platforms, in which users can actively participate, as their new brand touch-points. This study aims to compare the brand experiences of the fashion brand Gentle Monster's offline store and its equivalent metaverse store. By changing the order of offline and metaverse visits, two groups participated in the field study that allowed them to experience directly the offline and metaverse stores. As a result of the analysis, the following findings were discovered: (1) In the overall experiential response, the frequency of sensory modules responding to new information was much higher than that of feeling experiences; (2) Experiential responses were more active in the offline store where the subjects could touch and use products directly rather than in the metaverse; (3) Among the four types of theme space, the experiential response was the most frequent in the product space; (4) The first group that visited the metaverse store before the offline store showed a more active experience than the second group that visited the offline store first. Finally, the results of this study show that metaverse brand stores in virtual space not only provide differentiated experiences beyond the spatiotemporal constraints of real space but can also be used as a strategic tool to make offline store experiences more meaningful and rich.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the distribution system and the spatial characteristics of sales for the internet shopping mall on the basis of its off-line presence. The distribution system of this internet shopping mall is divided into the goods selection process and the product delivery process to consumers according to the function and role of the distribution center which is performed by cooperative companies. The internet shopping mall uses a different distribution system from the off-line department store, outsourcing the delivery process to door-to-door delivery companies in order to reduce costs and to increase the speed of delivery. Sales in the internet shopping mall are concentrated in the delivery unit area where the main office is located. Accordingly, in the case of the internet shopping mall based on an off-line presence, the mail-order business does not fully overcome the limitations arising from space. Also, the main factors influencing the value of sales, according to the area, are the number of women aged 20 to 49 and the distances involved.
