A Study on Effective Visual Communication Method with the 'Pictomation' Contents in Augmented Reality Environment

This paper analyzes visual communication elements of pictogram, and proposes efficient expression method in argument reality environment. Pictogram should be recognized the meaning by everybody in the world, and must be designed with fairness and objectivity as visual communication medium with correct information for unspecific users. Pictomation in this paper is produced by animation with grafting together actions that could find within standard pictogram and culture in order to elevate information transmission realization to user, and expressed with augmented reality technology which is applied in various study fields. Augmented Reality offers human-computer interaction for method that can prove user realization about visual information of three-dimensional space based on reality environment as user-contents information communication medium. Pictomation uses various pictograms that can see everywhere in order to utilize by marker. And you can experience contents with Pictomation that is manufactured under AR environment through UMPC or PDA. Pictomation can increase effect about visual communication, and gives user freedom of selection that can forecast kind of contents. This paper tried to integrate amused element through contents with multimedia elements and real-time interaction, and find the method for effective communication with users through Pictomation in augmented reality.
