Requirements for contents service providing a sense of realism based on high quality and high resolution have increased since HD (High definition) and 3D technologies have emerged. Recently, high frame rate (HFR) and multi-channel audio-based contents with 4K resolution have been produced since UHDTV which can display 4 times as many pixels as Full HD on a screen has been released. Also high performance graphic rendering technology using high resolution large display, high-speed transmission technology etc have been continuously researched to improve gamers' level of satisfaction providing greater immersion in game field. The necessity to implement UHDTV game based on high resolution large display has been raised to provide greater immersion and presence. Therefore, the research examines changes in display environment to implement high quality games using UHDTV.

The computation of saliency from an image and a video is an interesting challenge in image processing and computer vision. Context-aware saliency, which addresses the saliency based on the geometric structure of an image, is known as one of the most powerful schemes for computing saliency. An obstacle of the context-aware scheme is the heavy computation load. We reduce the computational load in a great scale by applying the dart throwing algorithm, which is a widely used stochastic noise generation scheme in computer graphics society.

On the ultra-high speed broadband internet network transferring the massive multi-media data, the rapid restoration is very important. The online game industry is also fast growing with supporting of the real-time online network game. The online traffic on the internet network is steadily increasing. The optical based broadband convergence network provides these kinds of services. It is a form of multilayer network which loads the IP traffic on the lower optical DWDM. The failure of the link and node on this kind of network causes the significant loss of data. To solve this kind of problem, the new approach over the conventional one is necessary. It turned out to be its failure recovery thirty-five percent faster

Creating avatar animations are tedious and time-consuming task since the desired avatar poses should be specified for each of a large number of keyframes. This paper proposes a fast and handy method to create game character animation contents using the motion data captured from the Kinect sensor. A Kinect sensor captures and saves the human motion. The Kinect sensor provides the motion information in a simple form of coordinates of joint positions. Using the captured motion data we determine the set of bone transforms that makes up the human skeletal animation data. The animation data is utilized to determine the position of all the bones at the current time in the animation. For experimental purpose we create a simple avatar character. We express the character model by the MD5 format, in which the mesh data and animation data are separated. A set of twenty joint positions reflect a snapshot of the character pose. The sets are used to evaluate the bone transform matrices and construct our skeletal animation scheme. We verified our method by appling the captured Kinect motion data to character animation. Our approach provides an easy method for creating avatar animations.

Along with development of medical science, stroke is showing an increasing trend of occurrence due to improvement in living standards and increase in aged population. In particular, about 56% of all stroke patients are suffering from hemiplegia, which bring difficulty in everyday activities. There are various means of rehabilitation for such hemiplegic stroke patients, but such methods cannot be carried out alone but must be accompanied by therapists. Patients must visit treatment facilities to receive treatment. Accordingly, under the consideration that treatment and rehabilitation of stroke can be assisted using functional game as an auxiliary means to continued counseling and treatment by physician without limitation on location, time, and cost, the purpose of this study is to propose a rehabilitation rhythm game based on motions using appropriate platforms such as PC and smart phones.

In this paper, we propose the escape game Loony considering natural interaction. For user's immersion, the proposed game is designed similar to the real world such as a security card key, its card reader, coin, and a vending machine. In order for the user to easily understand the situation in the virtual environment, the proposed game provides enough information in game user interface. For easy operation, the proposed game reacts based on simple input method: mouse and just few keys on keyboard. For the purpose of verifying the effects of the interaction between the proposed game and the user, we compare the proposed game with two previous escape games based on the observational evaluation and the questionnaire evaluation. The evaluation results show that the proposed game is better than the previous games on the operation feeling and the situational awareness of the users.

Housing system of MMORPG is value-gaining system introduced to maximize the accumulation of wealth and means of ownership that emerged in 2000 from the game named Ultima Online. Degree of application is determined by techincal elements and the skills of the player. MMORPG game is the one which accumulate the value, own and show-off. Players build house and inivite other players to show their influences, social standings and powers. Housing systems, but until now, there are several problems. Proper management such as protecting house or livestock raising is required while player leave the house for hunting or collecting resources. Like the real world's real estate, housing system require proper area to build the house and huge server to solve the process technically. In case of relocation, there could be several problems to resolute by applying theories of real estate and architecture. In this study, we proposed future housing system that complements a variety of problems of present housing system through customization of housing, the introduction of various applications and applying partner characters. Which will provide higher lever of entertainment while enjoying games. Future housing system should get out of existing uniform structure, develop with artistic value and eventually transform to higher and more diverse lever.

To assess effectiveness in serious games is the principal means for the purpose of developing the game and criteria for assessing quality of the game. Until now, serious games assessment has been implemented mainly through surveys that measured from the outside of the game using in-depth interviews, or sensor-based psycho-physiological observation. However, these methods have limitations that do not properly reflect on the gaming experience that is characterized by the coevolution through player participation activities. Therefore, we propose a model to assess the effectiveness of serious games systematically through evaluating the functionality based on the player's feedback.

In addition to a simple questions was conducted before and after watching contents for determine the effects of movie content and reaction of viewers. Through the interactive movie content has been investigated.

게임물 이용환경의 융합 및 글러벌 서비스에 따라 게임물의 자율등급분류제도 도입에 대한 본격적 논의가 예상된다. 자율등급분류는 시장의 필요에 따른 것이지만, 지금까지는 규제 우위의 정책에 따라 그 논의를 쉽게 진행하지 못한 면이 있다. 더욱이 게임은 IT기술의 발전에 따른 규제정책으로 인하여 합리성을 담보하지 못하였다. 본고는 플랫폼 환경의 변화에 따른 게임물 등급분류제도의 개선이라는 접점을 찾고자 하였다. 그 접점은 오픈마켓 자율등급분류제도이며, 최종적으로는 전면적인 자율등급분류제도라고 판단된다. 자율등급분류제도가 가장 합리적인 게임규제이며, 이를 위해서는 사후관리를 통한 등급분류에 대한 가치가 훼손되지 않도록 노력해야 할 것이다. 사후관리는 공적기구에서는 물론 자율등급분류기구에서도 엄격하게 진행될 필요가 있다. 다만, 엄격한 사후관리가 자율등급분류의 취지를 훼손하거나, 등급분류의 자율성을 침해하는 것은 바람직하지 않다고 본다. 이와 같이, 자율등급분류의 제도적 취지가 달성된다면 사업자는 게임물의 창작활성화를 도모하고, 이용자는 게임의 내용정보를 자세하게 확인할 수 있게 된다. 이로써 게임물이 갖는 표현의 자유를 확대를 통해 새로운 문화를 향유하게 될 것으로 기대된다.

There are several “game testing techniques” to find bugs in game software. But they can not support game developer to correct errors easily and effectively in game development process. And also they are doing process according to game developer’s scenario and intuition at game company in these days. Therefore, to solve the above problem in this paper, this dissertation suggests a efficient testing techniques to judge the suitable generation of the auto-generate game map according to the game user’s playing and verify them TFD (Test Flow Diagram).

In recent years, with the successful growth and rapid overseas expansion of Korean games, Korea’s game industry has become the new engine for economic growth and positioned itself as the symbol of a successful cultural content. However, despite all this, the popular media has accused game as the cause of gambling and also violence. And every year the government is coming out with new regulations that are seriously affecting the whole game industry. Therefore, right now there is a need to introduce regulation to the game developers not as an object of condemnation or an object to be evaded. Regulation should be rethought and also measures should be taken to minimize it side effects. This study examines and tests the most recent regulations that were not suitable for games. And it shows the effectiveness and provides an alternative direction for game development.
