The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of augmented reality picture books, which have been steadily developed since 2010, as a genre of electronic picture books, and to reveal how children's immersion in augmented reality picture books differs from paper picture books. To this end, 30 augmented reality picture books on the market were analyzed according to genre, life theme, implementation method, and augmented reality scene ratio. As a result of the study, it was found that the genre of picture books was in the order of information fairy tales, daily fairy tales, and historical fairy tales, and there were no traditional or fantasy fairy tales. Animals and plants accounted for about half of the life topics, and in some cases, there were only a few or no other life topics. In the augmented reality implementation scene, it consisted of only one page in the early days, but all pages are now possible to implement augmented reality due to technology development, production cost reduction, and improved hardware performance of smartphones. It was found that the augmented reality implementation method used CD-ROM in the early days, but gradually became possible to implement using only mobile phones and tablets that were easy for readers to access. In addition, after presenting four picture books to eight 5-year-old infants, the immersion time was measured and the immersion behavior was observed. As a result, augmented reality picture books showed higher immersion[immersion time, immersion behavior] than paper picture books, but compared by literature genre, life fairy tales were higher in paper picture books and natural fairy tales in augmented reality picture books. It was higher when presenting augmented reality picture books after presenting paper picture books according to the order of presentation of picture book types. The results of this study suggest that more diverse life topics and augmented reality picture books in the genre of children's literature should be developed to increase the utilization of augmented reality picture books. In addition, considering that there are differences in immersion between types, literary genres, and reading experience [presentation order], it is expected to increase the educational effect by using picture books complementarily.

본 연구는 유아용 증강현실 그림책의 사용성을 평가하기 위해 실시되었다. 사용성 평가를 위해 유치원 5세 학급의 유아 17명에게 증강 그림책을 읽게 하고 다음의 세 가지 측면에 대한 관찰과 인터뷰를 진행하였다; 1) 증강현실 그림책 읽기에서 유아의 실행정도, 2) 그림책을 읽는 과정에서 보이는 유아의 반응, 3) 증강 현실 그림책 읽기에 대한 유아의 만족도 연구 결과, 대부분의 유아들은 증강현실 그림책 읽기에서 웹캠과 그림책의 각도와 거리를 적절하게 조절하여 동영상 이미지를 떠오르게 할 수 있었고, 그림책 읽는 과정에서 유아들은 놀라움이나 기쁨을 표현하기, 질문하기, 실망과 좌절감을 표현하는 등의 언어적, 비언어적 행동을 보였다. 유아는 증강현실 그림책에 대한 흥미도와 난이도에 있어서 대체적으로 재미있고 쉽다는 반응을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 개발될 증강현실 인터페이스의 개발과 성인-유아의 증강 그림책 읽기에 관한 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of integrated teaching and learning method using augmented reality for effective promotion of child - friendly attitude and environmental preservation attitude and explored its applicability. For this purpose, based on the augmented reality fairy tale, we designed an experience - oriented integrated teaching and learning method such as reading book, story - telling, drawing, environmental conservation practice activity. The experimental group was divided into two groups: augmented reality reading fairy tales (A) and children's book reading fairy tales (B). First, interest, immersion, and empathy were higher in the application environment of integrated learning teaching method based on Augmented Reality. Second, there was no difference between the two groups in content understanding. Third, in terms of expressiveness, it was verified that various expressions were expressed in the applying environment of the integrated teaching - learning method based on augmented reality through drawing activities. Fourth, in practice activities, more students were practicing in the augmented reality - based integrated teaching - learning method applied environment, and the number of practice activities of individual students was also confirmed. This study suggests that the application of the integrated teaching and learning method can enhance the effect of education when using the smart teaching media using the augmented reality in early childhood education.

증강현실을 활용한 디지로그 북은 애플리케이션을 다운받은 후 모바일에 내장된 카메라를 Image Marker로 등록된 페이지에 비추면 증강현실이 구현되는 형태로서 콘텐츠 구현 방법에는 단편적 한계점을 나타내고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 증강현실 기술을 활용한 디지로그 북에 양방향 인터랙션이 가능한 팝업(Pop-up) 형태의 Multi-Tracking 방식을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 기존 책자형의 디지로그 북과 이번 연구에서 제안한 팝업(Pop-up)형태의 디지로그 북의 두 가지 프로토타입에 대한 증강현실 콘텐츠 구현에 따른 기술적 차별성에 대한 실험을 공인기관에 의뢰하여 검증하였고 시험성적서를 발급받았다. 연구에서 제안한 팝업(Pop-up)형태의 디지로그 북은 가상 이미지를 사용자의 행위(움직임)에 따른 인터랙션 콘텐츠 구현이 가능하여 책의 물리적인 변화자체가 가상콘텐츠에도 전달되는 양방향 인터랙티브 콘텐츠의 장점을 갖고 있으며, 이는 가상 이미지와 인쇄 그림책 간의 상호작용을 유도하고 학습자에게 흥미 유발 및 몰입감을 줄 수 있어 차별화된 디지로그 북의 인터랙션의 표현이 가능할 것으로 보여진다.

Climate crisis is one of the most urgent and serious threats to the right to life. As AR picture books are particularly effective for safety education, this study aimed to produce an AR picture book featuring animals that are endangered due to the climate crisis. In order to increase the educational effect and enhance the climate sensitivity, this study developed a children's activity workbook (with follow-up activities) and a teacher's guide (with lesson plans) as a package. To this end, market research and surveys were first conducted. Next, through the management and support of the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development, this research team produced a climate crisis themed AR picture book package through expert advice, help from outsourcing companies, and field application. The package was promoted through publicity in various forms of media. The contents of the AR-using picture book package of this case study were introduced and then advantages and disadvantages were discussed.
