Recently, there is a growing consideration that game authoring tools can play an important role in producing 3D games. In this paper, we introduce our 3D game authoring tool. The tool consists of a map editor, a sound editor, a game data exporter/previewer, and a special effect editor. This tool can help a game designer Produce game data such as game maps, sound effects, and special effects, and so on. In this paper, we implemented a prototype game content to verify the effectiveness of the developed authoring tool.

Multimedia Authoring Tool is a tool for creating multimedia presentations. With this tool, a user can produce playable multimedia documents. A Multimedia Authoring Tool requires input in the form of a spatial layout and a temporal layout. Users can make many mistakes in creating multimedia presentations and verification is required in the Multimedia Authoring process in order to produce multimedia documents. In this study, two verification phases are proposed: Time Computation and Spatiotemporal Conflict Verification. In the experiment conducted for this study, two kinds of verification were carried out: The use of single-phase verification and the use of double-phase verifications. By using these two types of verification, it became easier to successfully detect errors in the spatial and temporal layouts, and the types of verification have also been successful in increasing the success of error detection.

In this paper, a sensory effect authoring tool is introduced to effectively generate sensory effect metadata for sensible media. Sensible media manifests sensory effects in the media to real world by stimulating sensory organs of human. It is emerging as a new media to enhance the user's immersion towards media. For the successful deployment of the sensible media industry, an effective authoring tool is required to provide easy authoring of sensory effect metadata. The result of the authoring tool design and development based on MPEG-V(ISO/IEC 23005-3) International Standard is presented in this paper.

This paper proposes a multi-modal complex motion authoring tool for creating robot contents. The proposed tool is user-friendly and allows general users without much knowledge about robots, including children, women and the elderly, to easily edit and modify robot contents. Furthermore, the tool uses multi-modal data including graphic motion, voice and music to simulate user-created robot contents in the 3D virtual environment. This allows the user to not only view the authoring process in real time but also transmit the final authored contents to control the robot. The validity of the proposed tool was examined based on simulations using the authored multi-modal complex motion robot contents as well as experiments of actual robot motions.

This study proposes a method of developing authoring tool that can easily and intuitively generate diverse digital leaves that compose virtual landscape. The main system of the proposed authoring tool consists of deformation method for the contour of leaf blade based on image warping, procedural modeling of leaf vein and visualization method based on mathematical model that expresses the color and brightness of leaves. First, the proposed authoring tool receives leaf input image and searches for contour information on the leaf blades. It then designs leaf blade deformation method that can generate diverse shapes of leaf blades in an intuitive structure using feature-based image warping. Based on the computed leaf blade contour, the system implements the generalized procedural modeling method suitable for the authoring tool that generates natural vein patterns appropriate for the leaf blade shape. Finally, the system applies visualization function that can express color and brightness of leaves and their changes over time using a mathematical model based on convolution sums of divisor functions. This paper provides texture support function so that the digital leaves that were generated using the proposed authoring tool can be used in a variety of three-dimensional digital contents field.

In recent years, graphics authoring tools have evolved into a variety of formats in line with the rapidly changing digital design field. However, in the field of interface design, screen shape and size depending on the user's environment, it needs more flexible and scalable authoring tools. Along with the emergence of variety of new tools, work processes are also changing. This study investigates what kinds of graphic authoring tools are currently used by designers and compared the result to the case of overseas and examined the difference in the environment of graphic authoring tool. This study looked at criteria and satisfaction of designers choosing authoring tools and how the choice depends on the type of company we are working in and the type of project we are involved in. Research shows that the choice of authoring tools depends on the type and efficiency of the project. Based on this, a reference is provided to establish the standard and working environment for designers and companies to select graphic authoring tools and propose the future direction of graphic authoring tool environments.

Recently, there has been much research to improve immersiveness and learning achievement using the edutainment that combines learning with game. However, from the viewpoint of instructors, there has been little research to solve technical difficulties and to reduce the authoring time in tailoring a game-type learning content. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an authoring tool, which enable instructors to tailor game-type learning contents reflecting their own preferences in spite of no backgrounds of technical skills. The authoring tool proposed has key features to hide authoring handicaps and reduce authoring time by providing the overall template for customized game-type learning contents based on template concept. To evaluate the effectiveness of the authoring tool, we applied it to teachers and elementary school students. From the evaluation, the result represented that instructors can make their own learning contents without being aware of technical problems within a short time. Also, the result showed that the learning achievement degree and immersive depth of students have been significantly improved.

We introduce a media art contents authoring tool called ECAS(Exhibition Contents Authoring System), and methodology employed in its development. ECAS was developed using the graphical user interface to overcome difficulties with existing authoring tools that are text-based. For efficient implementation of graphical user interface, GMF(Graphical Modeling Framework) technique by Eclipse was used. SWT(Standard Widget Toolkit) and JIT(Just-In-Time) were used to improve speed and performance of ECAS. We show convenience and efficiency of ECAS by comparing with existing media art contents authoring tools.

The desire of achieving abundant and various information in Web-sites through portable devices is increased as the mobile communication technology is matured. WML(Wireless Markup Language) is the fundamental language to fill up the those desires. The number of commercial WML sites which can be accessed by PCS(Personal Communication System) over the Internet are growing rapidly worldwide. In this paper, a WML authoring tool which can author easily the homepage suitable for PCS is designed and implemented. The usability of the proposed WML authoring tool was confirmed by using UP.SDK simulator over the Internet.

Jungganbo is a writing method for the Korean traditional music. Since writing the Korean music needs to be done by hand and Chinese characters are used, only an expert musician might handle Jungganbo. In this paper, an authoring software tool for Jungganbo is introduced. It is useful for anybody who wants to compose the Korean tradition music with a computer. This tool also enables to standardize writing techniques of Jungganbo because a musical score was done by hands without using an authoring tool. In addition, this authoring tool can be easily used since its environment is very similar to other windows-based programs such as Ms-word and Hwp. Not only the beginners but also the experts can use this authoring tool for their Korean traditional music writing easily.
