Lately the VR (Virtual Reality) game genre is becoming increasingly more popular and it has been cementing its place in the market as its own independent game genre. The key advantage of VR is that it lowers the barrier between player and the virtual world, thus creating an immersive experience. The suggested method develops a game that allows the player to experience what it is like to be visually impaired using the unique characteristics of VR. A distinctive feature of this game is that the character is provided only a limited range of sight, which is created using silhouette outlines. This restrictive visual field is then grafted onto VR and the player can indirectly experience blindness in a highly immersive manner. The silhouette outline along with the particle system is created using Oculus Rift, a headset highly used in VR game development, and Unity 3D game engine. We will also explain in detail regarding the removal of borders between the objects.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, many local governments are burdened with the influx of large-scale tourists. As a climate that values Work-Life-Balance has emerged, interest in individual life and satisfaction is rapidly increasing. In addition, due to the popularity of the metaverse field, many people are increasingly interested in related content. In particular, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" sold more than 15 million copies in 2020, and is enjoying exchanges of interior design, fishing, and collecting insects here. In line with this trend, this study introduces the development of online fishing games based on Jeju infrastructure. This paper focuses on implementation and development, and in particular, it introduces differentiated games through character animation optimized for developing a topographic model that maximizes the beauty of Jeju Island's topography based on the Unity 3D engine.

The development of computer graphics leads to high value-added products, such as film, game contents, 3D animation. In realistic animation, it is impossible and inefficient to produce the movement of each objects as handwork to display the various behaviors of a lot of characters. So we need the techniques of the crowd animation which presents the movement of objects realistically and efficiently by calculating automatically. In this paper, we designed a modeler which generates the attitudes of objects in crowd behavior animation using information of 3D models. We developed an animation system for crowd behavior which was applied for animation, VR, or games.

Today the lectures are usually practiced in a teacher-led traditional classroom system or a student-led e-learning system. Students passively follow the teacher's lectures in both systems, though. Also due to the advances in 3D Computer Graphics and Game technologies, there are trials to exploit the positive effect of games in learning. The serious games, specifically designed games for an educational goal, or existing games for a special class have been used as lectures. Still these games have a great difficulty in being integrated into the educational system technically and economically. Therefore a new 3D MMORPG based lecturing system is presented in this paper. In our new lecturing system, the characteristics of a 3D MMORPG, achievement, sociality, and immersion, are provided to motivate students to participate actively in a lecture. A teacher and students interact with each other in realtime as 3D characters in a 3D virtual classroom on-line. An ordinary teacher can also easily apply our new system to existing classes since a teacher only needs to specify a slide file to prepare a lecture. For the future work, a user study and the effect of our new lecturing system will be performed.

This study analyzed the importance of user activity, communication between users and identity establishment by growth and change of player's character through users' communication structure and then it classified such an importance into activity by group, dealings, information sharing, duel and strategy performance. It also looked into the plans to revitalize smooth social relationship and suggested for users to behave with responsibility in virtual society. In the virtual space where thousands of people connect and interact with each other every day, users find out their identities through human relationship with others proceeding solo story. What is more important is that users consider virtual space as a society and feel collective responsibility on words and behavior against others.

아바타(avatar)는 온라인 게임이나 채팅, 가상 공간 등에서 사용자의 역할을 대신하는 애니메이션 캐릭터를 뜻하는 말로 1990년대 인터넷 보급과 더불어 활발히 도입되기 시작하였으며 2000년대에 실제 사람의 사실성보다는 3D 그래픽 캐릭터의 관점에서 세컨드라이프(Second Life)나 리니지 등의 서비스에서 활용되었다. 또한 컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술의 발달로 인해 보다 사실적인 인체 표현이 가능한 아바타 기술이 영화나 CF를 중심으로 활발히 활용이 되었다. 최근 컴퓨터 그래픽 기술과 컴퓨터 비전 기술의 결합으로 인한 시너지 효과 및 센서 기술과 컴퓨팅 하드웨어의 발전으로 인해 실제 사용자의 외형이나 움직임을 사실적으로 표현할 수 있는 실사 인체 아바타에 대한 연구와 산업으로의 응용이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 실사 인체 아바타의 생성 기술과 아바타를 응용한 활용 기술에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

In conventional game systems, virtual environments usually have just the role of a background without the direct relationships for game characters. nev do not consider the semantics about virtual environments. In this paper, we develop a game navigation system that provides semantic information about virtual environments including geographical, historical or my other location-dependent information. Then, the game character obtains the geographical location and its related information when it navigates through a virtual environment. It can be an implementation method for a semantic virtual environment because it can have the environment maintain its semantics depending on the specific location. In addition, we describe a method that can control a character's motion in the semantic virtual environment interactively, and that can input specific information according to the location of the character.

Inverse kinematics is a very useful method for control]ing the posture of an articulated body. In most inverse kinematics processes, the major matter of concern is not the posture of an articulated body itself but the position and direction of the end effector. In some applications such as 3D character animations, however, it is more important to generate an overall natural posture for the character rather than place the end effector in the exact position. Indeed, when an animator wants to modify the posture of a human-like 3D character with many physical constraints, he has to undergo considerable trial-and-error to generate a realistic posture for the character. In this paper, the Inductive Inverse Kinematics(IIK) algorithm using a Uniform Posture Map(UPM) is proposed to control the posture of a human-like 3D character. The proposed algorithm quantizes human behaviors without distortion to generate a UPM, and then generates a natural posture by searching the UPM. If necessary, the resulting posture could be compensated with a traditional Cyclic Coordinate Descent (CCD). The proposed method could be applied to produce 3D-character animations based on the key frame method, 3D games and virtual reality.

In 21 century, Game industry became one field of the cultural content industries. Also, It is one of the most important technologies as a Multimedia, 3-D sound, virtual reality field, and character industry and its scale and effect are getting big. But Korea still lags behind America and Japan in developing game. For that, many support business progressed. However, Special importance〔emphasis〕 is attached to the developing of software engines. In the mean time, The game market of children(under 8) is the biggest one, which form over 30% of all the markets in the PC game market of America. The Children's game, which has both entertaining and educating, is a content-concerned industry. So with a short period of the developing time, they make a high value added. In this paper, 1 study the existing computer games and propose for game contents and the game factor's abstraction suited to the character by kid age. It is concluded that 'Asports', 'Asim,' 'U.J RPG', 'S＋RPG' are beneficial to the child growth on each stage, through serveys analysis of protocol, and research of the cjaracters of the growth on the each age.

We can travel every imaginary world and do every impossible thing via 3D character. People interest in 3D character animation for modeling like real world due to the increase of 3D game and imaginary Virtual Reality on the internet. In this paper, new framework for present of 3D character of high quality is applied. I represent 3-dimensional Humanoid modeling and animation technology and show the adequacy via simulation for various and natural representation certificate using VRML as a Web3D information type and XML.
