This paper is about a serious game controlled by EEG and motion capture. We developed our game for 2 users competitive and its method is as follows. One player uses a controlling interface using EEG signals based on the premise that the player's facial movements are a depiction of the player's emotion and intensity throughout the game play. The other player uses a controlling interface using kinect's motion capture technology which captures the player's vertical and lateral movements as well as state of running. The game shows the first player's EEG as a real-time graphic along the map on the game screen. The player will then be able to pace himself based on these visualization graphics of his brain activities. This results in higher concentration for the player throughout the game for a better score in the game. In addition, the second player will be able to improve his physical abilities since the game action is based on real movements from the player.

There are a number of studies about the impact of social games' social network. But because of conflicting results, the game's effect isn't ascertained. In this study, we defined that using social games makes increase the social capital with construal level theory. The survey results on construal level, social capital, game using time, etc, are used for the analysis of the correlation and interact. As a result, growing bridging social capital shows on the people who use high level of construal and more social game time use. This phenomenon did not appear in other online games, so that makes a social games' feature unique characteristic. And we discovered that high level construals is key point for defining the practical use of media.

In this paper, we proposed the education program using Scratch as an alternative activity for the remedy program of game addiction. We tried to find the solution through computer and game that affect the problem of game addiction. We choose the high-risk students about game addiction disposition and took a programming lesson for educational game development with consultation class. We also analysed the effectiveness of our remedy program. We found the positive results between before and after the program and we analysed that game connectivity rates were decreased during recess time. In interview and observation about students, we found that the students were changed to the positive tendency about game addiction. We expect this program will give many help for solving the problem of game addiction, if this research is applied to the regular class in elementary school.

Recently, various contents using human motion are developed in computer vision and game industries. If we try to apply human motion to application programs and contents, users can experience a sense of immersion getting into it so that the users feel a high level of satisfaction from the contents. In this research, we analyze human head motion using images captured from an webcam and then we apply the result of motion recognition to a game without special devices as an interface. The proposed method, first, segments human head region using an image composed of MHI(Motion History Image) and the result of skin color detection, and then we calculate the direction and distance by the MHI sequence. In experiments, the proposed method for human head motion recognition was tested for controlling a game player. From the experimental results we proved that the proposed method can make a gammer feel more immersed into the game. Furthermore, we expect the proposed method can be an interface of a serious game for medical or rehabilitation purposes.

The learning and cognition of preschool children begins with the color of the object, and the game interface is the child's first impression of the game, so reasonable color design is needed. This article selects 10 educational mobile game for preschool children, extracts colors from the game interface and startup icons, and puts them into Photoshop to analyze the three elements of color hue, lightness, and saturation. Finally, three suggestions are put forward for the color design of game UI. 1.Choose a color similar to the actual color of the thing. 2. Choose warm colors according to your child's preferences. 3. When using contrasting colors, please reduce the brightness or purity of the colors. It is hoped that the research conclusions can provide reference materials for the color design of educational game UI for preschool children.

In this paper, we suggest the Measures to improve the Act Bill for establishing the Game User Committee. The Act Bill has a lot of problems which are violations of criminal legalism due to unclear terms in administrative punishment and violations of The Human Right enjoying freedom of occupation and guaranting property due to not defining provisisons about The Duty of Confidentiality or The Legal Fiction as Public Officials for Purposes of Applying Penalty Provisions. also the duplicate regulations in the Act Bill disrupt game industry development. we have three results that were derived through analysis of Prior studies and precedents. The First is to define details of special reasons in enforcement ordinance and enforcement regulations. The Second is to define The Duty of Confidentiality or The Legal Fiction as Public Officials for Purposes of Applying Penalty Provisions in the act bill. The Third is to address managing the random reward items in the Game Rating and Administration Committee or is to give game user advance notice about the Comntent Dispute Mediation system.

Computing thinking is regarded as one of the important skills required in the 21st century, and many countries have introduced and implemented computing thinking training courses. Among computational thinking education methods, educational game-based methods increase student participation and motivation, and increase access to computational thinking. Autothinking is an educational game developed for the purpose of providing computational thinking education to learners. It is an adaptive system that dynamically provides feedback to learners and automatically adjusts the difficulty according to the learner's computational thinking ability. However, because the game was designed based on rules, it cannot intelligently consider the computational thinking of learners or give feedback. In this study, game data collected through Autothikning is introduced, and game score prediction that reflects computational thinking is performed in order to increase the adaptability of the game by using it. To solve this problem, a comparative study was conducted on linear regression, decision tree, random forest, and support vector machine algorithms, which are most commonly used in regression problems. As a result of the study, the linear regression method showed the best performance in predicting game scores.

The quantitave increase and qualitative development in the game industry leads to bitter competition and makes game companies struggle to find better ways promoting their own games. The game trailer is one of the critical ways to publicize diverse games by showing visual images directly. There are three reasons why the game trailer comes into the spotlight these days; the rapid growth of the Internet speed handling the large size of files, the remarkable development of visual image quality just like digital movies, and the advent of video websites such as You Tube that shows huge amount of videos regardless of the type and size. However, there are not enough amount of research on the game trailer because using game trailers as the marketing source is still at an early stage. Therefore, this research focuses on providing characteristics of game trailers that are available for practical market analysis. First, this research shows that game trailers can be divided by the category of display, style, and contents type. Second, this research provides the component parts of game trailers that are divided into contents factors such as characters, backgrounds, events and promotional factors such as title, production company name, distribution company name. Third, this research explores research frames that would be needed to analyze marketing strategies, effects of game trailers, production pipelines and so on. These categorizations would be useful for producing game trailers efficiently and utilizing them effectively.

There are many of games using smart devices. Voice recognition is can be useful way for input. In the game, voice have to be quickly recognized, at the same time it have to be manipulated promptly as well. In this study, we developed the optimized real-time phoneme recognition using max flow matching that it can be efficiently used in the game field. Firstly, voice wavelength is transformed to FFT, secondly, transformed value is made by a graph in Z plane, thirdly, data is extracted in specific area, and then data is saved in database. After all the value is recognized using weighted bipartite max flow matching. This way would be useful method in game or robot field when researchers hope to recognize the fast voice recognition.
