Sports climbing requires repeated movements within a limited space, which may cause climbers to lose their constant interest in it. Furthermore, it is important that coaches should give lessons focusing on demonstrations to make sure that learners can understand the movements on their own, However, in traditional sports climbing lessons, they give instructions on almost every movement of learners' hands and feet. Hence, there have been constant calls for replacing these existing sports climbing lessons and presenting new methods to ensure that learners can observe their coaches' demonstrations in real time and emulate them. An introduction of the image training using spatial augmented reality techniques to solve these problems may have a positive effect on the improvement of learners' motor skills and attitudes toward lessons. This study aims to verify the effectiveness of the Climbing Character Animation (CCA) as a learning tool for sports climbing. To achieve this research objective, it applied it to actual sports climbing to verify its utility. As a result, it was shown that the lessons using spatial augmented reality-based CCA had a higher effectiveness than traditional sports climbing lessons in the degree of interest inducement, emersion and learning effects.

Although there is an increasing demand for capturing various natural motions, collecting climbing motion data is difficult due to technical complexities, related to obscured markers. Additionally, scanning climbing structures and preparing diverse routes further complicate the collection of necessary data. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposes a climbing motion synthesis using reinforcement learning. The method comprises two learning stages. Firstly, the hanging policy is trained to grasp holds in a natural posture. Once the policy is obtained, it is used to extract the positions of the holds, postures, and gripping states, thus forming a dataset of favorable initial poses. Subsequently, the climbing policy is trained to execute actual climbing maneuvers using this initial state dataset. The climbing policy allows the character to move to the target location using limbs more evenly in a natural posture. Experiments have shown that the proposed method can effectively explore the space of good postures for climbing and use limbs more evenly. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in exploring optimal climbing postures and promoting balanced limb utilization.

In the field of virtual reality and game production with realistic, real-time character's behavior is frequently used. In this paper, the terrain changes or other actions on the surrounding environment by implementing adaptive any action that is the most natural and can be adapted to analyze real-time character animation is implemented. For this purpose, in order to control the various movements of the character of the human body, by highlighting the major joints Kinematic dummy character animation is to create a way. Changes in terrain height difference of the two stairs that could cause analysis of the behavior in the environment and the other on the surrounding environment by adapting behavior to analyze the behavior of the slope climbing Based on this, the character animation is implemented.

Recently, public interest in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has increased. Therefore, computer graphics-related research has been actively conducted. This has included research on virtual space related to human posture implementation. However, such research has focused on general posture in humans. This paper presents a system with reference to the basic posture in sports climbing and the inverse kinematics method for generating the positions and behavior of virtual characteristics in a three-dimensional virtual space. The simulation based on the inverse kinematics method, produced with an inverse kinematics solver and initial pose animation from motion capture, provides realistic and natural movement. We designed a simulation system to generate correct posture and motions similar to those in sports climbing by applying the basic procedure of sports climbing. The simulation system provides help for producing content about sports climbing, such as learning programs for novice climbers and sports climbing games.

Kwon Kisoo is one of the most promising artist in Korea. His paintings portray a lot of metaphors and philosophies in oriental art. As an artist, he adapts both oriental and contemporary ideas to make his paintings. His main motifs are Plum blossoms, Chrysanthemum, Orchid and Bamboos. These plants are known as 'Sa-gonja' in Korean but translated as the 'Four Gracious plants' or the 'Four Gentle Plants in english'. These noble plants represent the four seasons. They grow in different weather conditions. In oriental art, these plants are considered very important for their qualities. These qualities are important attributes for gentlemen in literati painting. The drawing of the 'Four Gracious Plants' in Kwon Kisoo's paintings is simplified. He uses lines, shapes and colour to create contours of the motifs. In his paintings, there is another icon he calls 'Dongguri'. Dongguri is the main character in Kwon Kisoo's paintings. It was developed in 2002 by fast brush strokes. Dongguri is an admired character because it looks like very cute in Kwon Kisoo's paintings. Dongguri is always seen living in the midst of the 'Four Gracious Plants'. The 'Four Gracious Plants' with other landscape features like rocks and mountains are places 'Dongguri' lives. Dongguri is also often found performing a lot of actions like climbing, running, sitting etc. All these actions depict metaphors which have been unraveled in this study.
