 Much of AR Content is/will be relying heavily on the interactive narrative structures of games aa 1) in-situ AR 저작 / 콘텐츠 관련 연구 : 시각적 요소의 결정 / 저작에 치중 -real-time geometric modeling -tangible authoring of 3d virtual scenes using markers, RFID, camera, tangible miniatures -> only visual augmentation, not narrative creation itself as an augmented element *Why? -real-time object tracking and registration techniques are most urgent, difficult problems -in-situ authoring of 3d objects still a challenge -complex compositions of content while moving is difficult 2) AR 게임 관련 연구 : 교육용 콘텐츠에 치중 Y.Nam,“Designing interactive narratives for mobile augmented reality,” Cluster Computing, March 2015, Vol. 18, Issue 1, pp

 Spatial narrative (in AR Games) the idea of creating a narrative which is not intended for sequential, linear viewing, and which is enacted each time in a different way according to how the viewer traverses space the idea of creating a narrative whose elements are thought to be experienced in a specific space and/or time the idea of creating a narrative which is emergent the idea of creating a new form of expression involving spatially disseminated elements of expression, knowledge, information and interactivity reality/augmented-reality-movies/spatial-narratives/

 Augmented Creativity - Employing AR on modern mobile devices to enhance real-world creative activities and open new interaction possibilities -In the gaming domain, transform passive game interaction into active real-world movement that requires coordination and cooperation between players and apply it to city-wide gaming concepts. -Authoring interactive narratives with an interactive storytelling framework Fabio Zünd, Mattia Ryffel, Stéphane Magnenat, Alessia Marra, Maurizio Nitti, Mubbasir Kapadia, Gioacchino Noris, Kenny Mitchell, Markus Gross, and Robert W.

ACM, New York, NY, USA,, Article 21, 7 pages. DOI=

 Interactive Narrative Development for AR Games Given dynamic spatial environments that place context-specific limitations on the design and presentation of AR content Find ways to develop an AR game with emphasis on a novel narrative structure that incorporates authoring methods as a tool of expression So That the creative agency of the game player(i.e. AR content consumer) is enhanced

1) 사용자 입장에서 AR 환경이 제공하는 인터랙티비티의 능동성을 극대화 할 수 있는 콘텐츠 설계 방식을 정립 2)AR 게임을 Creative Product 이자 Medium 인 콘텐츠로 포지셔닝 상황인식 기반 AR 게임 /gamification 콘텐츠의 다변화에 기여

 Educational AR Game Development Platform  MR-GREP: Allows the instructional designers to create game experiences that can be played simultaneously in an augmented reality environment as well as in a virtual space that replicates the physical space. The platform aims to provide a set of authoring tools and applications, which does not require programming skills from the user. Arenas, L., Zarraonandia, T., Díaz, P. A platform for supporting the development of mixed reality environments for educational games(2015) Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 9192, pp

 Video Game Level Editor  i.Ge: a video game level editor that allows users to interact with their own environment to create game content with every-day physical objects in real time. -explores new ways to interact with the real world by augmenting it with interactive projections, reducing the gap between the real and the digital world in a spatial augmented reality. -proposes other novel naturalistic approaches to create and interact with digital content that involve embodiment and more use of depth. i.Ge: Exploring New Game Interaction Metaphors with Interactive Projection TEI '15 Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionPages

 Splitting Reaction in a Mixed Reality Game  PhotoNav: requires that the player split attention between the physical world and display by using geotagged photographs as hints for navigation. -Contributes to ways in which mixed reality game UIs can focus players on the physical environment, leveraging its unique affordances. Designing to Split Attention in a Mixed Reality Game. In Proceedings of the 2015 Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play (CHI PLAY '15). ACM, New York, NY, USA, DOI=

 Mapping Physical Space in Context-Based Games  DPRG(Digital-Physical Reality Game): A new conceptual framework to enhance the context by mapping fantasy in any ordinary space, such as the inside of a school through speculative research. The learning game was implemented based on the framework of DPRG, and the experiment verified that students became immersed in the story of the actual game through fantasy. They recognized a random space in which the game was played as the space set in the game and cognitively connected the current learning context with the random space. Kwon, C., Kim, Y., Woo, T.
