현행 게임산업법제도는 게임을 혁신형 미래성장동력 산업으로서 진흥 의 대상으로 규정함과 동시에 과몰입 등을 막기 위한 규제의 대상으로 규정하고 있어 그 이중적 지위에서 오는 갈등이 있다. 그러나 규제냐 혁신이냐를 이분법적 제로섬 게임으로 이해하는 것은 4 차 산업혁명의 시대에 적합한 혁신의 사고 방식이 아닐 수도 있다. 규제 는 그 자체로 필요악이 아니라 혁신을 지원하고 나아가 혁신을 선도하는 역할을 하는 도구로 활용될 수도 있기 때문이다. 규제가 혁신친화적으로 설계된다는 것은 규제가 소기의 목적을 달성하면서도 혁신을 추진하는 제 주체들의 혁신역량을 저해하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 오히려 국가혁신시 스템의 견지에서 바람직한 산업혁신의 경로를 설정하도록 도움을 준다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 법제도와 혁신의 공진화를 위한 혁신친화적 규제 설계라 는 관점을 설정하고, 게임산업법의 주요 내용 중 특히 대표적인 규제로 인식되는 사후관리제도를 검토한 후 이를 혁신의 관점에서 분석하며 규제 가 소기의 목적을 달성하면서도 산업계의 제반 혁신주체의 혁신역량을 증 진하여 산업의 글로벌 경쟁력을 제고할 수 있는 방안에 대해서 제언하고 자 한다. 본 연구에서는 사후관리제도가 게임물관리위원회와 문화체육관 광부장관 및 지방자치단체장의 업무로 이원화되어 규정되어 있다는 점, 그리고 위반행위에 대한 제재수단이 영업정지처분으로 획일화되어 있고 사전적으로 게임기업이 이를 시정할 수 있는 기회나 의견게진의 기회가 거의 없다는 점을 중점적으로 분석한다. 또한 관련하여 계류된 입법안을 검토함으로써 법리적 측면에서 그리고 규제의 목적을 달성하면서도 기업 의 혁신역량을 저해하지 않는 방안은 업는지에 관하여 제언한다.

Virtual reality plays an important role in special education. Students with special needs often face challenges with social interaction and learning. It is the use of interactive simulations to allow students with disabilities to engage in environments that appear to be and feel similar to real world objects and events. Virtual environments encourage interactive learning and provide a variety of opportunities for the learner to have control over the learning process. This study reviews relevant research that explores the use of virtual reality and suggests game contents for supporting social interaction for students with disabilities.

In this paper, we developed 3D games which use lip-motion input device and displayed it on a non-glass 3D display using integral video method. The games called Jenga and Cubes are developed by using unity3D. Potential immersion and usability of games displayed by integral video method is experimentally tested. Experiment participants played the test games and are surveyed to measure immersion and potential usability. In this survey, the immersion scored 3.83 out of 5 in average, and we confirmed relatively higher satisfaction than 2D display. Positive results on implementation of non-glass 3D display on game contents are obtained from the experiment and survey.

Therapeutic serious game treats mental health problems such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and behavioral disorder by allowing clients to manage and express feelings. These games are developed according to a primary principle of the cognitive behavior therapy that the mental health can be improved by training cognition and behavior with proper stimulation. For those who have difficulties in expressing emotions, stepwise treatment is offered to create a safe emotional environment which induces them to express themselves. The game environment provides affective feelings that encompass physical experiences. In addition, emotional distance is formed between the user and the game environment, and thus even those who have high psychological barriers feel free to express and release their feelings. Game users can experience self-exposure and awareness and gradually construct their self-images, expressing themselves in the virtual world in a continuous and repetitive fashion.

Internet Addiction and Internet Gaming(Game) Addiction are two terms regularly used in our daily lives, however, their distinction is rather vague. Internet Gaming Addition refers to a psychological, emotional, and social state where one, due to increased tolerance and dependence to games and other reasons, loses control over and plays internet games excessively and compulsively, and any efforts to reduce or stop playing will be ensued by withdrawal symptoms. One means to better the problems caused by Gaming Addiction is development of a variety of Serious Games and related services. Whereas Internet games are played for entertainment, Serious Games utilize the entertainment function to further education and addition preventive measures objectives.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the parent’s game addiction has an effect on children’s physical activity, physical self-conception was used by medium. Participants were 230 mothers with children between 5 and 7 years old. One-hundred eighty surveys, excluding those with omitted or odd answers, were analyzed. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation analysis, path analysis using WEB-R 3.0(LAVAAN). The first, as the result indicated, parent’s game addiction affected the children’s physical activity directly. The second, parent’s game addiction affected the children’s physical self-conception. The third, children’s physical self-conception. affected the children’s physical activity. Therefore the effort to increase the children’s physical self-conception may contribute to developing children’s physical activity.

Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a best-first search algorithm to evaluate states of the game tree in game playing, and has been successfully applied to various games, especially to the game of Go. Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees (UCT), which is a variant of MCTS, uses the UCB1 formula as selection policy, and balances exploitation and exploration of the states. Rapid Action-Value Estimation (RAVE), which is a All-Moves-As-First (AMAF) heuristic, treats all moves in a simulation as the first move, and therefore updates the statistics of all children of the root node. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of RAVE and UCT playing against each other in the game of Tic-Tac-Toe. The experimental results show that the first player RAVE is much inferior to the second player UCT (13.0±0.7%); on the other hand, the first player UCT is far superior to RAVE (99.9±0.1%).

Most games induce their players to be immersed in and to be interested in those games by presenting a specific purpose. And, developers provide and recommend the form and method of game play as a process to achieve that goal, allowing players to naturally experience the aesthetics for which the games intended. However, unlike the intentions of these developers, players who actually play games often reject or reorganize the form of game play that is recommended to achieve the games’ primary purposes faster and easier. Based on the total of twelve weeks since December 2016 when the expansion pack of Heartstone, “Mean Streets of Gadgetzan”, was added, this study analyzed the game phenomenon in which players devises a new type of game play by reconstructing a given content in addition to the game experience desired by game developers in the process of adding a new content to an existing game. Through this, this study aims to present a new perspective on game research and actual development.

This study is aimed at providing an exploratory education plan that is of direct interest to the local community through community-based art education. In this study, the “Naver Map” was used as a learning tool. The main theories behind the composition of contents of this plan are based on information and communication technology (ICT) education. First, classes were conducted over four sessions for 38 junior high school students. Subsequently, these classes were supplemented by six sessions for 12 elementary school students from the fifth and sixth grades. Consequently, the use of the Naver Map in community art education was effective in terms of convenience, ease of operation, accuracy of visual data, motivation, and continuity. The learners recognized the concept of “place” in the local community, and by producing appropriate works of art, they understood the concept of “place” and realized “social participation” and “culture creation.”

Storytelling in games is different from storytelling in other media in that it must interact with the user. The existing storytelling engine is not appropriate for interactive storytelling in games, so interactive storytelling engine is developed to supplement this shortcoming. However, the interactive storytelling engine uses methods that manages game events. Thus it is not appropriate for games with stories that are composed mainly of characters. This research examines the defects to propose improvement suggestions to apply the existing storytelling engine to games. This would be useful in developing stories that interact with the player in games.

Recently, many computer-based programs for cognitive function training are being developed. However, they are not sufficient for voluntary training with interest and immersion since most of the programs developed so far have been developed for therapeutic purposes. In this paper, the contents were implemented by applying visual element based design which can provide interest and immersion for the elderly. It is important to note that this approach may be more effective in cognitive rehabilitation training. In the future study, it will be necessary to verify how much the visual design elements based on the elderly are effective for cognitive function rehabilitation.

Education based on synesthesia has been used to be applied for several years. Especially, We focused on the Coloured-hearing Synesthesia for music education for children who have difficulty in practicing pitch by using the serious game based on Coloured-hearing theory. Also, smart platform is flexible for several sort of video games so we expect good accessibility for children. For proving the effectiveness for education by using this technology and theory, we design the serious game for music called “Bunny’s Cave” based on Coloured-hearing theory and conduct the usability test aimed at 3rd grade student in elementary school.

For several years, keyboard and mouse have been used as the main interacting devices between users and computer games, but they are becoming outdated. Gesture-based human-computer interaction systems are becoming more popular owing to the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. Therefore research on these systems has attracted a significant attention. The researches focus on designing the interactive interfaces between users and computers. Human-computer interaction is an important factor in computer games because it affects not only the experience of the users, but also the design of the entire game. In this research, we develop an particle filter-based face tracking method using color distributions as features, for the purpose of applying to gesture-based human-computer interaction systems for computer games. The experimental results proved the efficiency of particle filter and color features in face tracking, showing its potential in designing human-computer interactive games.

This paper discusses how the encounter between the performance characteristics of a game and the media characteristics of media art convey the acceptance and perceptual experience of the spectacle aura based on the media installation work, which is in turn based on the game. The game is a one-time event. During this event, the game will give a true aura experience. A media installation that records a game performance has a media character because it works through the medium, but the aura is transformed into the form of other media through the process of remediation, rather than being collapsed by the change of media. In other words, as well as in a one-time experience, such as a game, the aura can also be experienced in repetition and duplication in media installation works. In conclusion remediated aura experience is discussed through the media installation work based on the game.

Background: Many studies have reported positive results of the various mirror training and virtual reality games in improving dynamic standing balance and posture adjustment in chronic stroke patients. However, no systematic study has been conducted to compare the effects of virtual reality games and the mirror balance training. Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Wii balance games and Mirror Self- Balancing Exercises in improving proprioception of knee joint and standing balance of people with chronic stroke. Methods: Twenty patients with chronic stroke volunteered for this study. The subjects were randomly divided into a Wii balance games group and a Mirror Self-Balancing Exercises group with 10 patients in each group. Each training was performed for 30 mins a day for 4 days. In addition to the balance training, 30 mins neuro-developmental-treatment based routine physical therapy was given to both groups. Proprioception was measured using two continuous passive motion devices, and static balance was measured using a Wii balance board. Dynamic balance assessment tools included the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, and Timed Up-and-Go test. Results: All measured variables before and after the experimental results showed a significant improvement in both groups (p<.05). Only the improvement of the affected knee proprioception appeared to be significantly greater in the Wii balance game group (p<.05). However, other variables did not differ between the groups (p>.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that both Wii balance games and Mirror Self-Balancing Exercises may be helpful for improving the proprioception of knee joint and the balance of patients with chronic stroke.

In commercial game engines, a method of constructing objects by combining components is often used. Components can be assembled and used at any time as needed. In this paper, the 3D game is developed by applying the component method, which is the object creation method widely used in the commercial game engine, in the DirectX 11 environment. There are four kinds of components used in the in-house 3D game. These are four components such as transform, mesh, script, and collider. The component generation method used in this paper shows very good operation efficiency in terms of reusability. This paper also applied tangent space normal mapping to static and dynamic objects and analyzed performance at various screen resolutions. Performance analysis showed that the average rendering speed was 64.6% higher on the low resolution screen than on the high resolution screen. And the rendering speed of model G with normal mapping to all objects among the 8 simulation models is improved by 19.2% compared with model B without normal mapping. The presence or absence of normal mapping has the greatest effect on rendering speed.

In this paper, we analyze user's manipulation and reaction in an accelerometer-based game interface, as compared with a touch joystick-based game interface. To roll the ball, the user carefully grabs and adjusts the smartphone with both hands in the accelerometer-based game interface; while the user very quickly clicks the up, down, left, right, buttons in the touch joystick-based game interface, because it is already familiar to the user. The accelerometer-based game interface is relatively more immersive and interesting than the touch joystick-based game interface; because the user gets more desired results by elaborately operating the game with both hands rather than by clicking the buttons with the thumb.

We present a legorization framework that produces a LEGO model from a voxel model. Unlike other frameworks, we include bricks whose height is more than one layer. Furthermore, we devise a two-colored graph that represents the adjacency and stability information of a LEGO model. Our legorization is composed of tiling process on each layer, which is implemented using a heuristic search algorithm. We legorize five models including characters and buildings to prove the excellence of out framework

This paper was to explore the effect of user characteristics of SNS on interpersonal problems of university students. This survey was conducted from March, 2016 to Apeil, 2016 and 315 responses from the survey were used for the analysis. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and Multiple Regression. As a main result, limited personal relationship on SNS and SNS utilization time were the significant predictors to interpersonal problems, but SNS access rate, relationships on SNS as well as in real life didn't have the effectiveness to interpersonal problems. In conclusion, to reduce interpersonal problems, limited personal relationship on SNS and SNS utilization time should be controled.
