Purpose This study aims to identify the factors that form the social identity of metaverse community users and to investigate the processes that influence engagement behavior. Specifically, this study is to verify the structural relationship between socio-technical factors and social identity of metaverse community. Furthermore, we would figure out the role of psychological ownership and virtual assets in engagement of metaverse community members. Design/methodology/approach Hypotheses were derived through literature research and a survey was conducted for users of the metaverse community. 357 collected responses were analyzed for the structural equitation modeling(SEM) with AMOS 24.0. Findings As a result of the study, all of the proposed hypotheses were supported. As a result, it was found that technical and social perceptions of the metaverse community platform had a positive effect on social identity. Social identity affects the intention to engage in the metaverse community through psychological ownership, and its influence is reinforced by the perceived value of virtual assets.

현재, 다양한 형태의 메타버스 서비스 솔루션(제페토, 로블록스, 샌드박스, 디센트럴랜드)이 제작되고 서비스되고 있다. 메타버스 서비스는 360 파노라마 형태의 월드 기반에 3D 오브젝트를 배치해 구성한 솔루션이 대부분으로 게이미피케이션 형태로 구성된다. 하지만, 메타버스 형태의 웹툰 서비스는 구현 및 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 2D 평면이미지 형태의 웹툰을 3차원 공간에서 구현하는 방법과 실감형 360도 파노라마 웹툰 메타버스 서비스에 관해 연구했다. 연구 및 분석 과정은 웹툰 제작을 위한 기본적인 스토리텔링 및 설계작업, 제작된 이미지를 360도 형태로 변환하기 위한 파노라마 이미지 생성, 메타버스 공간에서 전-방향(all directional)을 보기 위한 360웹툰 콘텐츠 제작과정을 연구했다. 또한, 가상현실 기반의 웹툰을 감상할 수 있도록 쉐이딩 및 메트리얼 작업 방법을 제시했다. 현재 불모지로 여겨지는 웹툰 메타버스 분야에 초석이 될 것으로 생각한다.

In this paper, we design and experiment a 5G-based metaverse motion synchronization system with configuration of a mobile motion capture studio that has not been commercialized at home and abroad. As a result of the experiment, the average value of the latency test measurement using Wi-Fi is 0.134 seconds faster than the average latency test measurement value using the 5G network. Existing motion capture studios have spatial limitations as the motion capture range is limited to the Wi-Fi communication range. However, the 5G-based metaverse motion synchronization system configures a mobile motion capture studio so that motion performers can solve the spatial limitations by expanding the motion capture communication range indefinitely regardless of time and place. Therefore, it is possible to implement realistic metaverse contents by displaying a realistic and natural digital human because it is free from spatial constraints. The system which was tested in this paper can create a new business model by converging next-generation technologies that are receiving attention related to the digital virtual world, such as motion capture + 5G + digital human twin + metaverse. And it allows for research and develop a next-generation metaverse-based broadcasting solution at a recent time when the business value of digital human and metaverse technologies and functions has been proven and related sales are growing in earnest.

With the popularization of 5G networks and the development of AI (artificial intelligence) technology, Metaverse, which creates production capacity by combining virtual space and reality, is attracting attention. In this study, we searched for makeup applications with more than 100 million downloads from October 11, 2020 to November 3, 2020 through the Google Play Store. As a result of the search, four applications were found: YouCam Makeup, YouCam Perfect, Beauty Plus, and Sweet Snap. Based on the functions provided by the four applications, we attempted to suggest makeup functions applicable to Zepeto's avatar. Functions for the eyes (eyeliner, eyelashes, mascara, eye shadow, eye shape, eyebrow shape, lenses, double eyelids), functions for the nose (nose shape), functions for the mouth (lipstick, lip shape, smile function) ) Functions corresponding to the facial contour (contour, skin foundation, blusher, shading, highlighter, face painting, theme makeup) and functions corresponding to the body (body adjustment) were proposed. This study is the first in the beauty field to propose a method of applying the functions of the Metaverse platform as the importance of digital platforms is highlighted, and is the first to propose a makeup function applied to the Metaverse so that it can be used as important basic data in the future.

메타버스 경험은 실제 세계와 어떤 차이가 있을까? 본 연구는 특히 공간과 대화 주제와 관련해서, 메타버스를 사용하는 공간과 커뮤니케이션의 내용이 메타버스 경험에 주는 영향을 밝혔다. 75명의 연구 참여자를 대상으로 한 3(대화 공간: 대면 vs. 넓은 공간에서의 메타버스 vs. 좁은 공간에서의 메타버스) x 2(대화 주제: 긍정적 vs. 부정적) 혼합 요인 설계 실험 연구 결과, 공간에 따라 반응 정도에, 대화 주제에 따라 친밀감에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 연구 결과는 메타버스 경험이 현실 공간과 연관되어 있고, 특히 비몰입형 기기를 활용한 메타버스 콘텐츠를 제작할 때, 현실 공간을 염두에 두어야 함을 시사한다.

Due to a series of online sex crimes cases and online class conversions caused by the spread of the coronavirus, alternatives to sex education in schools are urgently required. As a result of this study, the metaverse sex education platform was designed. Using this platform, learners are expected to cultivate correct adult awareness and digital citizenship. Within the metaverse platform, learners can participate more actively in learning. Instead of exposing one's name and face in a place dealing with sensitive gender issues, one can participate in education through his or her decorated avatar and participate in education much more actively than face-to-face education and express one's opinion through chat. In addition, education by level can be received regardless of time and place, which can have the effect of bridging the educational gap between urban and rural areas. In this paper, we propose a new sex education platform without time and space constraints by utilizing metaverse.

Education systems have made efforts to prepare students by providing technical and nontechnical courses. With video games, however, there is the potential to develop dedicated metaverses that can help teach soft skills even during casual pastimes. The research conducted will propose a set of design practices for metaverse and game development to promote soft skills. While there are many soft skills people can acquire, this paper will focus on certain aspects based on specific games and studies. There will be some information collected from the information to support the design model and arguments. This paper will provide developers with a starting point for imaginative game creation and impart users with soft skills to assist in their professions and social life.
