The characters that could be connected to diverse cultural contents have formed diverse platforms with the development of digital technology, and the size of the relevant industry and market is rapidly growing. Recently, the utilization of character emoticons for smartphone messenger has been rapidly increased, so that the characters are settled down as a tool for non-verbal communication, on top of drawing attention as an independent area. With the expansion of character market, the importance of design that could give interest and familiarity to consumers is more emphasized. The body proportion of characters includes the implicative and symbolic meanings that could express diverse personalities. Thus, this study examined the body proportion of the characters with the high consumers' preference, and then analyzed the characteristics of formative elements of character design in accordance with the body proportion. In the results of the analysis, the exaggerated form of SD characters in two or three-head figure, and the realistic Real characters in seven or eight-head figure were preferred. For the SD characters, the colors with a high chroma showing the cute and cheerful image were used. For the Real characters, the cubic effect was expressed through the colors with active images and the light and shade of color. Even though the SD characters have limited motions due to the omitted body parts, the facial movements of animation characters are exaggerated while the Real characters describe the realistic and dynamic motions.

Since the advent of digital games with hardware development a key component of the game characters are changed to retard the rate at which types of users based on their favorite theory of human proportion. Many popular to gamers in the game according to the change in the retard rate in a unique image of the character. Studies on the head and body proportion are thought that up to now been insufficient. The purpose of this study is to examine a fundamental human proportion that has importance as a molding factor in the game character development, it investigated the characteristics of the game character, and classifying the retard rate of the game character, through the research method of analyzing the results, into the retard rate look for and investigate studying the effect on future game images. Five types of game characters that make up the analysis were analyzed with a unique image, and the more specialized users prefer retard rate, the figurative exaggeration to retard rate than the actual main body. Utilizing a bit exaggerated the difficulties of the character looks relatively small proportion character in the graphic wallpaper increased visibility. The proportion of a game character through the study is considered as a very important factor as the game image in the game development.

This study produced the serious game based of Sacheonwang for the smart phone. The popularization of smart phone has expanded the contents market. However the game content made of various Korean traditional cultures is just few. According to this problem, it considered Sacheonwang (Dongbang Jigukcheonwang, Bukbang Damuncheonwang, Namban jungcheonwang, Seobang Gwangmokchoenwang) and tried to develop the serious game application of smart phone based on the Korean traditional culture. It modernized the 4 types of Sacheonwang analyzed the characteristics, and it was created to super deformed characters. It suggested the production and development of game using Sacheonwang character and the Buddhist image. This study looked at the contents of the Buddhist and developed the Buddhist civilization and applied on the game contents to extend Korean traditional culture and interact Korean traditional culture.

In this paper, we implemented cyber character that can do speech recognition, speech synthesis, Motion tracking and 3D animation. For speech recognition, we used Discrete-HMM algorithm with K-means 128 level vector quantization and MFCC feature vector. For speech synthesis, we used demi-syllables TD-PSOLA algorithm. For PC based Motion tracking, we present Fast Optical Flow like Method. And for animating 3D model, we used vertex interpolation with DirectSD retained mode. Finally, we implemented cyber character integrated above systems, which game calculating by the multiplication table with user and the cyber character always look at user using of Motion tracking system.

98가지 감성 형용사를 수집하여 176명의 남녀대학생을 대상으로 SD법에 의해 선호도를 조사한 결과, 선호감성어휘는 '로맨틱, 센수얼, 캐주얼, 클래식, 캐릭터, 프린스, 심플, 복고풍, 모던, 수공예, 테크노' 등으로 요약되었는데 이를 바탕으로 군집분석을 시행하여 선호 감성을 유형화시켰다. 남녀대학생이 선호감성은 크게 10가지의 유형으로 나타났는데, 대부분의 대학생들이 '캐주얼파였으나(32.4％), 이는 구체적으로 '비장식개성캐주얼파, 역동쿨개성캐주얼파'였으며, 다음으로는 '단순내추럴파'가 17.3％였다. 이후 '클래식파(9.2％-수공예로맨틱클래식파, 획일적클래식파', '비표현파(8.7％)', '호화개성복고파(6.4％)', '민족감성선호파(4.6％)' 등이 있었다. 대학생을 집단들은 크게 두 개의 선호 감성축(정적-동적, 경량-중량)을 중심으로 가시적으로 그룹화 될 수 있었다.
