Recently, the demand and development for non-face-to-face services are rapidly progressing due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19, and attention is focused on the metaverse at the center. Entering the era of the 4th industrial revolution, Metaverse, which means a world beyond virtual and reality, combines various sensing technologies and 3D reconstruction technologies to provide various information and services to users easily and quickly. In particular, due to the miniaturization and economic increase of convergence sensors such as unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) capable of high-resolution imaging and high-precision LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) sensors, research on digital-Twin is actively underway to create and simulate real-life twins. In addition, Game engines in the field of computer graphics are developing into metaverse engines by expanding strong 3D graphics reconstuction and simulation based on dynamic operations. This study constructed a mirror-world type metaverse that reflects real-world coordinate-based reality using Unreal Engine 5, a recently announced metaverse engine, with accurate 3D spatial information data of convergence sensors based on unmanned aerial system(UAS) and LiDAR. and then, spatial information contents and simulations for users were produced based on various public data to verify the accuracy of reconstruction, and through this, it was possible to confirm the construction of a more realistic and highly utilizable metaverse. In addition, when constructing a metaverse that users can intuitively and easily access through the unreal engine, various contents utilization and effectiveness could be confirmed through coordinate-based 3D spatial information with high reproducibility.

A variety of game algorithms have been proposed in recent years. Racing games using these new algorithms have greatly improved compared to those in the past. According to the analysis of racing games done by wheelgamer.com, a website that specializes in racing games, cars are the most common subject in mainstream racing games. These results show there are very few racing games using special subjects such as boats. This paper proposes a method to develop a realistic boat racing game using the Buoyont Force, beyond the limitation of typical racing games that are restricted to cars. A Material Editor based on Unreal Engine 4.12 is used to manifest the Dynamic Material of realistic ocean water. Blueprint, a visual scripting function, is used to materialize buoyancy which allows the boat to move freely along the waves.

In this paper, we implement to make the character content with the floating hologram. The floating hologram is the one of hologram techniques for projecting the 2D image to represent the 3D image in the air using the glass panel. The floating hologram technique is easy to apply and is used in exhibitions, corporate events, and advertising events. This paper uses both the depth information and the unreal engine for the floating hologram. Simulation results show that this method can make the character content to follow the movement of the user in the real time by capturing the depth video.

본 논문에서는 게임 개발 플랫폼인 언리얼 엔진 4를 사용하여 동작 인식 기반 복싱 게임 콘텐츠를 개발하였다. Google 사의 미디어파이프(MediaPipe) 오픈소스를 통해 웹캠으로 플레이어의 동작을 인식하며, 미디어파이프의 Pose Landmarks를 기준으로 게임 내의 캐릭터와 매핑하여 캐릭터 동작을 제어하여 복싱 게임에 대한 동작, 자세, 반응속도 등을 연습할 수 있는 콘텐츠를 즐길 수 있다. 제안한 동작 인식 기반 게임은 MediaPipe 기술을 이용하여 자신의 동작으로 게임 캐릭터를 제어하여 더 강한 몰입감을 느낄 수 있고, 비싼 VR 기기들 없이 웹캠만 있으면 어디서든 즐길 수 있고, 다양한 콘텐츠를 싼 가격에 즐길 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 가상현실 콘텐츠 구현에 널리 사용되고 있는 unreal engine4를 사용하여 모션 트래커를 이용한 가상현실 드럼 연주 게임을 제작하였다. 현재 4차 산업 혁명 시대에서 가상현실 기술을 이용한 다양한 응용분야가 나타나고 있고 그중에서 체감형 콘텐츠가 몰입감을 높일 수 있다. 가상현실에서 더 많은 모션을 구현할 수 있도록 모션 트래커를 이용한 악기를 연주하는 것은 거의 없다. 그래서 모션 트래커를 이용한 게임 콘텐츠를 제작하여 드럼 악기를 몰입감 있게 게임 형태로 연주하는 체감형 게임을 개발하였다.

아두이노[1]와 라즈베리파이[2]의 개발 이후로 누구나 쉽게 인터랙티브 장비를 만들어보고 여러 프로젝트를 진행할 수 있게 되었다. 그리고 대표적인 게임 엔진으로 뽑히고 있는 유니티 (Unity)[3]와 언리얼 엔진 (Unreal Engine)[4] 덕분에 컴퓨터 전공자가 아니더라도 게염을 쉽게 만들 수 있는 시대가 되었다. 본 프로젝트에서는 아두이노를 이용한 인터랙티브 장비를 만들어보고 개발한 장비를 활용하여 플레이 할 수 있는 게임을 유니티로 제작하였으며 이를 어떠한 분야에 활용하면 긍정적인 효과를 줄 수 있을지에 대해서 고찰하였다.

EBS has been producing numerous educational contents with traditional virtual studio production systems since the early 2000s and applied AR video production system in October 2020, twenty-years after. Although the basic concept of synthesizing graphic elements and actual image in real time by tracking camera movement and lens information is similar to the previous one but the newly applied AR video production system contains some of advanced technologies that are improved over the previous ones. Marker tracking technology that enables camera movement free and position tracking has been applied that can track the location stably, and the operating software has been applied with Unreal Engine, one of the representative graphic engines used in computer game production, therefore the system's rendering burden has been reduced, enabling high-quality and real-time graphic effects. This system is installed on a crane camera that is mainly used in a crane shot at the live broadcasting studio and applied for live broadcasting programs for children and some of the videos such as program introductions and quiz events that used to be expressed in 2D graphics were converted to 3D AR videos which has been enhanced. This paper covers the effect of introduction and application of the AR video production system on EBS content production and the future development direction and possibility.

본 논문에서는 게임 개발 플랫폼인 언리얼 엔진 4을 사용하여 가상현실기술을 활용한 복싱 게임을 개발하였다. 복싱 게임을 더욱 실감나게 즐길 수 있도록 하기 위해 양 손에 부착한 VIVE 트래커로 복싱 동작을 모션 트래킹하여 아바타를 제어하였다. 게임 모드의 경우 연습모드와 스파링모드로 구성하였다. 연습모드에서 튜토리얼을 진행하여 게임플레이를 익힌 후 스파링모드에서 AI와 복싱 대결을 하도록 구현하였다. 스파링모드는 AI와 플레이어가 대결을 하며 먼저 체력을 소모시키면 승리하게 된다. 그리고 AI 캐릭터의 애니메이션 재생 속도에 따라 4가지 난이도를 설정할 수 있다. 가상현실 복싱게임은 VR기술을 이용하여 가정에서 간편하게 복싱 운동을 즐길 수 있으며, 더 많은 VIVE 트래커를 활용하면 정밀한 모션 트래킹이 가능하여 현실감을 높일 수 있다.

In this article we describe our preliminary work to create VR interactive storytelling particularly for building empathic relationships between the reader (or the player) and story characters. As a practical guideline for developing empathy-based VR interactive story, we propose four key factors: first, narrativity considering narrative theories and concepts including the notion of focalization by Gerald Genette; second, interactivity for balancing between narrative and player control in interactive storytelling domain; third, consideration of virtual reality in human computer interaction domain; fourth, empathy in narrative from the viewpoint of psychology and cognitive science. We also introduce an example interactive storytelling scenario based on Little Red Riding Hood story. Finally we conclude with our VR implementation using Unreal game engine and HTC Vive.
