Character dance not only improves the expressive power of ballet majors, dancer and choreographers but also breathes life into the performance. Character dance, which has comprehensive educational implications, was difficult to conduct research due to lack of materials and incompleteness in the field of ballet education. Even popular concepts were not established. In order to establish the meaning of the character dance, this research examined the history of character dance from the Middle Ages to the present and the meaning and the category were also schematized. Also, I tried to find out the direction of development. Character dance through systematic categories and meaning establishment can provide extended educational forms to infants and children as well as dance majors and non-majors. This research of character dance is expected to provide basic materials not only for the ballet education but also for the various educations. Lastly, the author of this research is expecting that detailed researches will be conducted in the future.

본 연구에서는 관성 센서가 내장된 컨트롤러를 이용하여 정의된 5가기의 동작과 비교하여 가상의 댄스 캐릭터와 함께 즐기는 체험형 댄스 콘텐츠 시스템을 제안한다. 체험자는 화면에 순서대로 출력되는 동작 리스트와 같은 움직임을 취하게 되며 동작의 정확도 및 타이밍에 따라 차등 점수를 부여토록 하였다. 이러한 댄스 콘텐츠 시스템을 위해서는 각 동작 대해 학습과 실시간으로 사용자의 동작을 구분하는 것이 필요하다. 다수개의 소형 무선 컨트롤러를 손과 발 등 주요부위에 착용하고 논문에 제안된 방법을 활용하게 되면 사용자의 흥미와 몰입감을 더해줄 것으로 기대된다.

By improving performance of mobile machine(3D engine, 3D accelerator chip set, etc) and developing wireless network technology, a demand for actual contents of users is being increased rapidly. But, there are some difficulties yet for the speedy development of actual contents because of the limitation of development resources that is dependent on each mobile device's different performance. In general, much of the animated character-creation work for mobile environment is still done manually by experienced animator with the method of key frame processing. However, it needs a lot of time and more costs for creating motion. Additionally, it is possible to cause a distortion of motion. In this paper, I solved the difficulties by using a optical motion capture system, it was able to acquire accurate motion data more easily and quickly, and then it was possible to make 3D dance contents efficiently. Also, I showed techniques of key reduction and controlling frame number for using huge amounts of motion capture data in mobile environment which requires less resources. In making 3D dance contents, using an optical motion capture system was verified that it was more efficient to make and use actual-reality contents by creating actual character motion and by decreasing processing time than existing method.

We present a new interactive technique for directing the motion sequences of an animated character by dragging its specific body part to a desired location in the three-dimensional virtual environment via a hand motion tracking device. The motion sequences of our character is synthesized by reordering subsequences of captured motion data based on a well-known graph representation. For each new input location, our system samples the space of possible future states by unrolling the graph into a spatial search tree, and retrieves one of the states at which the dragged body part of the character gets closer to the input location. We minimize the difference between each pair of successively retrieved states, so that the user is able to anticipate which states will be found by varying the input location, and resultantly, to quickly reach the desired states. The usefulness of our method is demonstrated through experiments with breakdance, boxing, and basketball motion data.

Practical use degree of Motion Capture technology is low in korea game market which did growth of MMORPG putting first. However, that is dance game or FPS, sports game genre is magnified. Therefore, practical use degree of Motion Capture technology is increasing. And, need various research to take advantage of Motion Capture technology effectively. Studied 3D game character animation manufacture pipe line for it. Characteristic of this manufacture pipe line is work classification, correction of two times, Biped format all-in-one to progress Motion Capture technology and keyframe-animation work at the same time. Also, manufacture pipe line that is consisted of this constituent has economic performance, extensity, systemicity.

본 연구에서는 사용자가 즉석에서 연주한 곡에 대응하는 춤 동작을 자동으로 생성하는 기술을 제안한다. 본 기법은 먼저 댄서로부터 모션 캡쳐 받은 춤 시퀀스를 분절화한 후 사용자가 신디사이저를 통해 직접 연주하여 얻은 MIDI 데이터를 분석해 음악에서의 특징점을 추출한다. 그리고 분절화 한 모션의 세그먼트들을 음악에 맞춰 다시 배열하여 새로운 춤 시퀀스를 생성함으로써 사용자가 연주한 음악과 어울리는 춤 동작을 자동으로 생성한다. 이를 위해 세 단계의 작업을 수행하게 되는데, 첫 번째 단계에서 모션 캡쳐를 통해 얻게 된 데이터에서 캐릭터의 위치와 자세를 기준으로 하여 긴 시퀀스를 의미 있는 작은 춤 동작으로 분절화한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 사용자의 연주를 통해 획득한 MIDI를 분석하여 특징점을 추출하고, 마지막 단계에서는 이를 바탕으로 음악에 기반한 음악과 동작을 합성한다. 본 연구는 음악과 댄스의 리듬감이 파괴되지 않도록 합성함으로써 우리의 연구는 기존 연구에 비해서 훨씬 자연스러운 춤 시퀀스를 결과물로 만들어 낸다.

버츄얼 유튜버로서 자신의 동작을 3D 가상 캐릭터로 나타내고, SNS 에서 춤을 공유하는 경우가 많아졌다. 본 논문에서는 2D 영상에서 MediaPipe BlazePose 모델로 추정된 사람 포즈를 3D 인체 모델인 SMPL 에 피팅하여 사용자 정의 3D 모델을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 통해 자신의 춤 영상으로 3D 모델을 생성하여 공유하거나, 기존의 춤 동영상으로 3D 모델을 생성하여 댄스 게임에 사용할 수 있다. 이처럼 본 기술은 예술 및 엔터테인먼트 분야에서 다양하게 활용될 수 있다.

The issues on the representation of digital images, the uncanny is not considered aesthetically but must be overcome. It seems that the future of visual media using digital images, depends on the development and advancement of the digital technology. However, the Brothers Quay regarded as unique and experimental animators, focus their attention towards the past rather than the future. They trace back to the origin of the media, reproducing, manipulating, and representing gestures in oder to restore the shock and thrill delivered in film and animation. The Brothers Quay explore the uncanny of gestures through the mechanism of medium. They work in a wide range of genres, from animation, live action to dance film. The creaking spasms, which create the feeling that the movement does not belong to this world, and the strange gestures, reveals the flicker of the still projection and make audiences recognize gestures in the true meaning of the word. While they animate live actors and dead objects like automata, the hidden desires are revealed over screen. In this paper, focusing on the works of Brothers Quay, I tried to explore the uncanny of gesture based on Freud's and Jentsch' theory of uncanny.
