본 논문에서는 타투 한 모습을 AR을 통해 미리 육안으로 확인할 수 있도록 하는 기술적인 방법을 제공함으로써 타투 시술을 실제로 시행하기 전 개인별로 선택을 지원하는 기술을 제안한다. 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위해 Unity Vuforia Engine을 이용하여 서버에서 미리 제공하는 타투 도안 혹은 사용자가 원하는 타투 도안을 AR로 신체에 적용할 수 있도록 지원한다. 제안하는 기술에서는 AR로 인한 시각적인 이질감을 줄이기 위해서 Region Capture를 이용하여 타겟 이미지를 주변 피부와 이질감을 감소시키고 그 위에 타투 AR을 사용자 신체 굴곡에 맞춰 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 AR로 확인한 타투를 사진이나 동영상으로 촬영하여 앱 내 갤러리에서 확인할 수 있고 앱 내 커뮤니티를 통해 타투에 관심있는 사람이라면 타투에 관한 자유로운 소통을 할 수 있도록 지원하는 온라인 기술을 구현하였다.

This study investigated the phenomenon of modern people enjoying tattoo culture in Korea from the perspective of post subculture. A qualitative study was conducted using both literature review and in-depth interview methods. For post-subculture perspectives, the theories of Maffesoli (2017) and Thornton (1996), which are suitable for interpreting contemporary tattoo culture, were reviewed in terms of seven concepts: sporadic network, grouping, fluid participation, temporary emotional bond, self-distinction, pursuit of underground culture, and display and concealment. Semi-structured questionnaires were constructed and administered based on the organized characteristics. Five cultural qualities of the tattoo phenomenon in Korea were derived based on post-subculture concepts. Sporadic formation is related to the pattern of inflow into tattoo culture, and "streaming" participation is based on fluid participation and temporary ties. Distinction within subculture is based on self-distinction and pursuit of underground. The costume-playing ordinary concept includes the characteristic of controlling the exposure of tattoos in society. Finally, formation of the consumer tattoo market was newly discovered in Korean tattoo culture.
