Online games are getting more popular among today's fun-seeking young students. The immersive power of these Internet-based games is so strong that many educators consider the integration of the games and learning to enhance learner motivation. However, the online games, which are primarily aiming g for 'fun', have cognitive, emotional, and social features and impacts that are different from the so-called 'educational' games. Therefore an interdisciplinary approach for better understanding of the online game in regard to its impact on learning and fun should be essential. In this study, the researcher will analyze relevant literature and theories from cognitive psychology, media and communication theory, and Ludology to grasp holistic understanding of online game phenomena, which will serve as basis of further research and development in this emerging area.

Recently many studies has been conducted for interactive game to contents immersion through visual stimuli. Among them, Multi-Plane Image tech is suitable for projecting video in wide views, but it is difficult to perform calibration and mapping tasks for viewing separately. In this paper, we developed a calibration mapping applies to the field archery game space in the form of CAVE. As a result, we maintained the resolution confirmed the space through the video without distortion and expect to be applicable to the fields requiring presence, such as training contents.

Since educational and fun elements coexist in an educational game, it is important to come up with standards that can elicit fun with the game as well as educational standards. Many of the existing developed educational games have received low marks in the characteristics of entertainment and game design. Thus, how to make up for their entertainment characteristics is important. This paper analyzes gaming elements of puzzle games that were released for smart phones and gained massive popularity from their users and will apply them to educational games. Such games that have gained popularity and won a commercial success include Anipang, Anipang 2, Candy Crush Saga, Farm Heroes Saga and Pokopang. This study will analyze gaming elements of these games. By analyzing the educational games, it is applied to the game elements of casual games. In addition, we have proposed a element that can enhance the immersive. Game design elements that can improve entertainment characteristics include game rules, stages and missions. Elements that can increase immersion include items, background maps and new learning environments. This paper has significance in that it analyzes entertainment characteristics, which mean the fun of games through those that have been a commercial success and applies them to educational games.

본 연구는 자기결정성 이론에 대한 중요한 변수들이 내재적 동기인 몰입과 만족이 충성도에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 인과관계를 실증 연구하고자 한다. 지금까지의 온라인 게임 연구들은 내재적 동기인 Flow가 만족과 충성도에 미치는 연구들이 주를 이루어 왔을 뿐, Flow에 미치는 영향변수에 대한 연구는 미비하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 내재적 동기에 영향을 주는 요인들을 연구한 자기결정성 이론을 바탕으로, 자기결정성의 요인인 자율성, 유능성, 관계성이 몰입과 만족, 충성도에 미치는 인과관계를 연구하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to find the factors of Social Network Games of continuous game flow and addiction. This study analyzes the significant factors of the addiction of SNGs from three categories. It also seeks to find out what relation between continuous game flow and addiction in SNGs. The model consists of three categories (SNG characteristic, User characteristic, and Environmental characteristic). The research model was conducted through the structural equation modeling(SEM) approach, and tested using 374 questionnaires. The results indicated that SNG characteristic(accessibility, enjoyment, feedback), User characteristic(self-control), Environmental characteristic(social interaction, subjective norm) have a positive effect on continuous game flow. The findings also that continuous game flow plays a moderation role that affects addiction. Finally, we discussed the research results and offered relevant suggestions for schools, firms, and future studies

Recently, there is a growing interest in learning to use games as a teaching method for digital native learners. In this study, we conducted a path analysis between bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, linguistic intelligence, flow, learning outcomes(academic achievement, persistence intention) in motion-capture game-based learning(the used game developed for elementary school history class). As a result, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence directly influenced flow and indirectly influenced learning outcomes. Linguistic intelligence did not have direct influence on flow and indirect effects on learning outcomes. Through this result, we expected that the motion-capture game-based learning facilitate learning motivation and performance of learners for higher bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.

Since 3D gamers can control points of view and field of view freely, 3D games generate high realities and immersions. On most of 3D games, a point of view and a field of view are determined by positions and FOV(field of view) of camera. Although FOV is a simple technical factor, it leads to graphics distortion and affects immersion of the game and causes some gamers to get physical sickness. Therefore, we will suggest the instruction to operate FOVs in many 3D games by examining and analysing various rendering results with control of FOV and real cases of FOV in published games with same 3D modeling environments.

1인칭 슈팅 게임인 FPS(First-person shooter)게임은 시각적 사실성이 뛰어난 고급 그래픽이 특징으로 컴퓨터 성능의 향상과 게임 제작 기술의 발전으로 꾸준히 성장해 가고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 FPS 게임은 동일 캐릭터에 무기만 바꾸는 방식의 단조로운 자유도를 제공하며 이로 인해 사용자의 입장에서는 장기간 게임진행시 흥미를 잃기 쉽다. 이러한 단조로운 게임방법을 변화시키고자 1999년 밸브(Valve) 사(社)의 '팀 포트리스(Team Fortress)' 게임은 FPS 게임 사상 최초로 병과 시스템을 도입하여 다양하고 개성 있는 캐릭터 구성으로 큰 주목을 받았다. 이를 분석해 FPS 게임을 개발할 때 다양한 병과 캐릭터가 플레이어에게 얼마나 더 게임에 대한 몰입과 흥미를 주는지 분석하려 한다. 이 분석을 위해 '팀 포트리스'의 후속 작 '팀 포트리스2(Team Fortress 2)'의 병과 캐릭터를 성격 유형 분석에서 보편적으로 많이 쓰이고 사람들에게 친숙한 MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) 방식으로 파악하여 각 병과별 캐릭터 설정이 게임 플레이어와의 성격에 따라 얼마나 더 몰입도와 흥미를 줄 수 있는지 도출해 내려한다.

In the generalization of mobile content use, feedback is a kind of alert that affects content immersion. An alert leads to separation from the content currently being used to transfer to content that raises the alert. Immersive interference can be recognized as a problem in mobile contents use. In this paper, we propose a serious game for overcomes immersion. interference from feedback and the foundation for interrelation research between feedback and immersion. The proposed serious game has been designed to present three kinds of feedback, specifically positive, negative, and hybrid feedback, through social information about the user. We also conducted an experiment to examine the correlation between three kinds of feedback and immersion while consuming digital content. The result of the experiment showed that negative feedback leads to higher immersion than positive feedback.
