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.

MMORPG Gameplay is based in a Law of Spatial Maintenance. There are 4 distance types - critical distance, flight/chase distance, interaction distance, and escort distance- according to the interaction object’s types and goals. These distance are related that the player appreciates and recognizes the game space. This study is significant in the sense that it is the cornerstone of finding in gameplay's essence.

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 this paper, we present a noise generation algorithm for producing artistic styles on video. Our algorithm is constructed based on a template to preserve the coherence of the artistic styles between the frames of video. We generate noise in the coordinate defined by the templates and apply texture coverage scheme to control the coherence of the noise distribution. For the coherence of the regions outside the templates, we design local recursive filters.

Autotelic user activity and rich user experience can be the key factors causing immersion as an intrinsic motivation of steadily using smartphones. We have selected Csikszentmihalyi's Flow as a basic and theoretical framework of study on the intrinsic motivation. We have derived which user experience design factors bring about flow while using smartphones. We have collected specific key words by literature analyses, web sites survey and in-depth interviews and have summarized. As a results, the user experience design factor is categorized into usability, personalization, physical satisfaction, interactivity, aesthetic satisfaction, usefulness. The 6 design measures are different from general categories of previous media and interface design researches, but they are based on emperical data and realistic factors which reflect design characteristics of smart phones.

Chroma key technique which composes images by separating an object from its background in specific color has restrictions on color and space. Especially, unlike general chroma key technique, image composition for stereo 3D display requires natural image composition method in 3D space. The thesis attempted to compose images in 3D space using depth keying method which uses depth information of Microsoft Kinect. Object was converted into point cloud type in 3D space after separating it from its background according to depth information. The image in which 3D virtual background and object are composed obtained and played stereo 3D images using a virtual camera. The research showed naturally composed stereo 3D images as well as the feasibility of applying stereoscopic 3D mixed reality image technology.

In the game graphic design process, design results are based on ideas that drives major decisions. Many information and stimuli could help to determine an initial game graphic design concept which is called concept generation. In this study Related Search Term and WordNet stimuli were given to the game design students in the concept generation. This study seeks to clarify which kind of stimuli contributes more to the creativity of the game graphic design concept. As a result, significant difference was found in creativity scores between two conditions. This result showed that related search terms which are based on collective knowledge could assist as stimuli on concept generation more effectively than WordNet which offers semantic dictionary definitions.
