Legacy Learning Using Few-Shot Font Generation Models for Automatic Text Design in Metaverse Content: Cases Studies in Korean and Chinese
<|reference_start|>Legacy Learning Using Few-Shot Font Generation Models for Automatic Text Design in Metaverse Content: Cases Studies in Korean and Chinese: Generally, the components constituting a metaverse are classified into hardware, software, and content categories. As a content component, text design is known to positively affect user immersion and usability. Unlike English, where designing texts involves only 26 letters, designing texts in Korean and Chinese requires creating 11,172 and over 60,000 individual glyphs, respectively, owing to the nature of the languages. Consequently, applying new text designs to enhance user immersion within the metaverse can be tedious and expensive, particularly for certain languages. Recently, efforts have been devoted toward addressing this issue using generative artificial intelligence (AI). However, challenges remain in creating new text designs for the metaverse owing to inaccurate character structures. This study proposes a new AI learning method known as Legacy Learning, which enables high-quality text design at a lower cost. Legacy Learning involves recombining existing text designs and intentionally introducing variations to produce fonts that are distinct from the originals while maintaining high quality. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in generating text designs for the metaverse, we performed evaluations from the following three aspects: 1) Quantitative performance evaluation 2) Qualitative evaluationand 3) User usability evaluation. The quantitative and qualitative performance results indicated that the generated text designs differed from the existing ones by an average of over 30% while still maintaining high visual quality. Additionally, the SUS test performed with metaverse content designers achieved a score of 95.8, indicating high usability.<|reference_end|>
