【Abstract】The paper describes a system for automatically generating comics from visit log at a metaverse museum. Metaverse is a 3D virtual world in which users can act freely, such as visiting museums or chatting with others, according to their own purposes. Compared with existing approaches for representing user experiences using snapshots or video clips, the comic approach can 1) allow users to grasp the whole story at a glance, 2) facilitate distinguishing of important frames, and 3) exploit varieties of comic writing techniques. In order to summarize user experience into comic's frames, detection of important experience, interesting exhibits in case of the museums, is an important task. In this paper, we propose a method for frame extraction based on the displacement amount of a user of interest at a metaverse museum. After describing each module of our system, we discuss a user evaluation in which the effectiveness of the proposed frame extraction method is confirmed when it is compared with a typical baseline method.
