| 摘要： | The user's online ego, which can be represented by characters in computer games, has developed to emit visual personality in various ways. However, it is difficult to find a service that can audio-customize and emit users' tastes and personalities except for lifelogs. Therefore, this paper researches and presents how to musically replace the characteristics of the character representing the user's ego in the online virtual world, focusing on MMOPRG game World of Warcraft. To this end, this paper examines the means of expressing user personality in the game and based on theories such as IRI's adjective color scheme image scale, Baroque music's emotional theory, and Peirce’s semiotics, various ways to replace elements musically and acoustically were proposed. Finally, an experiment was conducted to improve the efficiency of game operation from auditory information using an add-on program, and as a result, it was confirmed that auditory information can improve the user's game operation ability. This study was conducted through MMORPG's representative games, but the presented techniques and directions can be used as a way to musically express not only the games but also the avatars or characters of the virtual world such as metaverse. In addition, it can be expected that such research will have the possibility to be developed and used in more various techniques in the future. |
