In this paper, we propose spatial information based simulator for user experience optimization and minimize real space complexity. We focus on developing simulator how to design virtual space model and to implement virtual character using real space data. Especially, we use expanded events-driven inference model for SVM based on machine learning. Our simulator is capable of feature selection by k-fold cross validation method for optimization of data learning. This strategy efficiently throughput of executing inference of user behavior feature by virtual space model. Thus, we aim to develop the user experience optimization system for people to facilitate mapping as the first step toward to daily life data inference. Methodologically, we focus on user behavior and space modeling for implement virtual space.

본 논문에서는 2 대의 카메라로부터 입력된 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 가상캐릭터의 동작을 실시간으로 생성하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 이 시스템은 동작자의 움직임을 캡쳐하기 위해 동작자의 좌, 우 전방에 동기화된 2 대의 컬러 CCD 카메라를 위치시킨다. 카메라로부터 입력된 스테레오 영상을 분석하여 신체의 중심이 되는 루트와 머리, 손, 발과 같은 end-effector의 2차원 특징점을 추출하고, 추출된 특징점들은 카메라의 사영행렬과 추적 알고리즘을 통해 3차원 위치를 생성한다. 생성된 루트와 end-effector 의 3 차원 위치정보는 노이즈 제거를 위한 필터링을 거친 후 역운동학 알고리듬에 적용하고, 인체 관절의 해부학적인 제약조건과 관절간의 상호 연관성 및 전 후 프레임간의 부드러운 연결 동작 생성을 고려하여 중간관절의 위치를 정밀하게 계산한다. 중간관절의 위치를 생성하므로 서 임의 동작자의 움직임에 대한 모든 관절의 정보를 획득할 수 있으며, 획득된 동작 데이터를 가상 캐릭터에 적용하므로 서 캐릭터의 움직임을 실시간으로 생성할 수 있다.

In this paper, we implement the signboard voice guidance service for visually impaired person using virtual beacon. The new location to provide a location-based service can be added easily by using virtual beacons, which are locating by Wi-fi, GPS, and so on, instead of physical beacons, which are locating by physical devices. We provide the voice service for guiding information of the captured signboard for the visually impaired when he arrived at the location registered through the virtual beacon.

In order for the game industry to grasp the initiative of the global industry, it is time to positively need storytelling that can move the emotions of gamers over graphical appearance. Also, in the era of the 4th industrial revolution where the point of contact between virtual and reality spreads widely, it seems that the game character industry will rapidly emerge. Therefore, the author recognizes the importance of the character industry in the future, and based on the accumulated game research, he has identified 10 elements necessary for character storytelling. The ten elements are as follows. Design of life, design of race, design of occupation, design of PC and NPC, design of monster, design of personality, design of conflict, design of protagonist, design of external image, design of birth and death.

In 3D virtual environment the description of character' s movement that has utilized the conventional key-frame technique is gradually being developed toward the application of motion control method to generate more realistic and natural motion. Even the motion control method, however, has the limitation for expression of character's motion adapted to the ground properties of virtual world. That is, the walking motions of character are not only, for the most part, so uniform simple and repeated often as to feel to be tedious, but also the unnatural motion in which the tips of the toes soak through a plane or float in the air discording with the conditions of terrain lowers the semblance of reality. This paper proposes an adaptive motion control method for human figure locomotion in virtual environments or games, in which the walking motion is dynamiccally adapted to the ground's sliding properties. We compute an optimal parameters for one cycle of walking motion adapted to the ground properties by combining the coefficient of friction and centripetal force, and therefrom we induce a set of nonskid speed corresponding to various sliding properties of the ground.

Due to the development of fintech technology, financial transactions using smart phones are being activated. The password for user authentication during financial transactions is entered through the virtual keypad displayed on the screen of the smart phone. When the password is entered, the attacker can find out the password by capturing it with a high-resolution camera or spying over the shoulder. A virtual keypad with security applied to prevent such an attack is difficult to input on a small touch-screen, and there is still a vulnerability in peeping attacks. In this paper, the entire keypad is divided into several groups and displayed on a small screen, touching the group to which the character to be input belongs, and then touching the corresponding character within the group. The proposed method selects the group to which the character to be input belongs, and displays the keypad in the group on a small screen with no more than 10 keypads, so that the size of the keypad can be enlarged more than twice compared to the existing method, and the location is randomly placed, hence location of the touch attacks can be blocked.

With the development of virtual reality (VR) and blockchain technology, Metaverse is being used in various fields such as games, education, and social networking. At the same time, shipments of wearable devices such as smartwatches are growing every year, becoming more and more integrated into people's daily lives. This study presents a new possibility of reflecting the user's body signals measured through the combination of the two phenomena in the metaverse character. Various biometric information such as the user's heart rate and amount of exercise collected through the smartwatch are reflected on the character in the metaverse, allowing the user's physical condition to be reflected in the virtual world. Through this, Metaverse is expected to provide a new experience that can be called 'extended reality' beyond simple virtual reality, improve user's satisfaction with Metaverse, and suggest a direction for the development of smartwatches.

The reason of the appearance of Internet is regarded as a milestone since we have shared information globally in a mutual way. The important thing on this point is what contents we choose for ourselves. The Internet could be meaningless unless we use it in a certain way, which ultimately means that the Internet has to deliver something valuable to us humans. Therefore, we have looked at how we can deliver and share humanity and emotion through the Internet, also how we can instill vital power into our real life, through the Internet. Fortunately, the current study must essentially be ongoing due to its nature with perhaps a multidisciplinary team brainstorming ideas. The reason for that is that not only could we find new business models for companies, but also find out new ways to appease the human mind in the modern age. In addition, as consumers needs become more specialized and diversified, companies are expected to face up to fierce competition with the help of innovative ideas. The ever-intensifying competition requires companies to cultivate new strategic tools in order to have new, powerful and sustainable comparative advantages. The goal of this research will be to explore ways of finding a new approach. Specifically, this research is about how to use the EVC(empathetic virtual character), which, this researcher believes, can deliver emotional benefits so as to make e-branding successful. According to reports, it has been proven that this new concept including the EVC can result in tremendous success. So the goal of this research is to explore the current situation and to anticipate the future concerning virtual characters.

Advanced technologies and techniques make it possible to express digital animation with higher quality. Characters in the virtual animation space are playing an important role in emphasizing the human audiences or interacting directly with them. The movement of characters gives them vital power, and shows their intentions and emotions. To analyze the emotion of character movements, the study develops basic movement sources based on Laban's property elements of movement such as time, space, and flow, and tries to find the relationship between their movements and the emotions they arouse by positioning them on Plutchik's emotional circle. We find that each element of 9 movements represent its own emotion consistently, and has influence on the intensity of emotions clearly.
