Recently, the technology and services make progress in IT sector to facilitate the rehabilitation, as well as the exercise that aims to promote the health. To provide the opportunity for new services, various challenges have to be fulfilled, including the blurring boundaries among industries, spread of new technologies, and various demands. Seizing on this opportunity, the fusion and convergence have been accelerated. The trends towards the fusion and convergence are inherent in content industry and spreading to other sectors, which makes the cultural desire of customers fulfilled in a more diverse manner. In particular, the research has been conducted, using the game, in the new technology cultural contents which have shown noticeable fusion and convergence between IT and exercise rehabilitation areas. Such games can be classified into the motion-based game, serious game, and virtual reality game. Those game contents are forming the market fast based on the contents for education, sports, exercise rehabilitation, healthcare, etc., and have very great potential for growth. This study is intended to analyze the fusion and convergence system of exercise rehabilitation through those games and present a direction for future development.

Because of a rising in the standard of living and the development of medical technology, Korea is expected to become an aging society more than 14% elderly population and the silver generation will be responsible for the large portion of economic activities. The silver generation has relatively diminished in perception, learning, and exercise due to the physical aging. Therefore, it is important the development of game contents which can constantly provide the maintenance function of physical and mental health and the functional exercise with spending the leisure time. In this paper, we suggest a design method for developing the game contents which are able to help the silver generation to strengthen their lower extremities and to enjoy their leisure time. The proposed method will enable to lead the silver generation to carry on the physical activities with the amusement of playing a game through the functional design concepts appropriate for the ability of the silver generation's perception and physical activities, an adaptive game process customized by the individual capability and a user-friendly sensory interface.

'Sportainment' like Golfzon, which combines the elements of sports and entertainment have a lot of potential and development as new business items in the view of overcome many limitations such as time and place in real sports. For ultimately developing baseball simulation game as 'sportainment', this paper as the early stage suggests the system which can analyze pitching and swing. Unlike speed-gun measurement for moving ball, it uses sensor technology to take information of ball speed and movement and reproduces graphic screen based on the information collected from sensors with graphic technology. Hitter's swing and hit-ball can be measured in the similar way. This baseball simulation game is expected to develop as one of successful indoor spotainment businesses such as Golfzon.

In this study, by using the control technique of the user using augmented reality technology, to provide a game system touch-based. The augmented reality technology, can be advantageously used vehicle is easily recognized as a technique for synthesizing (images, video, text) object of the virtual image of the real world. Augmented reality technology has been studied to make the application in various fields. Studies of natural marker-based marker and base are underway, but there is no sense of incongruity in reality research natural marker-based and has been studied much. By using the augmented reality technology natural marker-based In this paper, we implemented a game system. The system also has the advantage that can be absorbed in the game by using the techniques of the interaction through a user's touch. Touch interface-based, are available as well as user environments, even in mobile devices such as smart-phone and touch pad.

As game and character animation industries are growing, techniques for reproducing realistic character behaviors have been required in various fields. Therefore, intensive researches have been performed in order to find various methods for realistic character animation. The most common approaches to character animation involves tedious user input method, simulation with physical laws based on dynamics, and measurement of actors' behaviors with input devices such as motion capture system. These approaches have their own advantages, but they all have common disadvantage in character control. In order to provide users with convenient control, the realistic animation must be generated with high-level parameters, and the modification should also be made with high-level parameters. In this paper we propose techniques for developing an automated character animation tool which operates with high-level parameters, and introduce techniques for developing actual games by utilizing this tool.

Online reviews are useful for other consumers to make reasonable purchase decisions by providing previous buyers' experiences. However, when online reviewers are biased, online reviews do not accurately reflect the true quality of the product. Therefore, we investigated the characteristics of reviewers with underreporting bias to cope with the problem of declining reliability of online reviews. In this context, this study attempted to examine the characteristics of reviewers with underreporting bias using 14,165 reviews of Steam, an online game platform. As a result of the analysis, reviewers with underreporting bias mainly write reviews positively, write reviews within a short period from the game release date, but tend to write reviews after playing games for longer time, and write reviews when purchasing high-priced games. Since this study has explored the characteristics of reviewers showing underreporting bias, it will be meaningful as a basic study to cope with the problem caused by underreporting bias.

디지털콘텐츠 산업분류체계를 비롯한 기존 방식으로는 현재의 디지털콘텐츠를 통찰력 있게 보기 힘듭니다. 이는 디지털콘텐츠 일반에 대한 인식의 틀이 부실한 탓입니다. 넓은 의미의 텍스트에서, 시점(視點)은 인식의 틀입니다. 문학과 미술, 영화와 관련된 콘텐츠 하부영역에서는 시점 연구가 체계적으로 이루어져 왔습니다. 이러한 시점 연구결과들을 통합하고 정리하여 디지털콘텐츠에 접목시켰습니다. 연구자는 콘텐츠와 그것의 사용자에 대한 관계를 두가지 기준으로 구분하였습니다. 하나는 콘텐츠와 사용자 자아인 페르소나 사이에 성립되는 '맥락인지적시점(ContextualView)'이고 나머지 하나는 콘텐츠를 비추는 눈인 '시각적시점(CameraView)'입니다. 맥락인지적시점은다시 '인물', '상대', '관객'으로 구분하였고 시각적시점은 '일인칭', '이인칭', '삼인칭'으로구분하였습니다. 그리고 이를 씨실과 날실로 연결하여 'CCmatrix'라 하였습니다. 그리고 월드 오브워크래프트를 'CCmatrix'로 분석하고 캐릭터 수준별로 일정한 패턴을 발견하였습니다. 또 다른 활용으로는 디지털콘텐츠의 시점역사를 정리하고 활용가능성을 보였습니다.

The mobile game environment is rapidly expanding with AR (augmented reality) technology along with artificial intelligence. In particular, AR (Augmented Reality) technology is a field of VR (Virtual Reality), which is a technology that shows a mixture of virtual information and images in a real environment. Recently, research on mobile UI design based on the interaction based on the augmented reality technology has become important at the point when various utilization methods are suggested based on understanding of contents. There are still some issues in terms of whether the consumer can utilize it in various ways, unlike the developed supply system. In this paper, we present an example of mobile UI design based on interaction based on smart media augmented reality through previous study and literature study of smart augmented reality to solve problem UI issues based on background theory.

As games have been used throughout the advertisement design in diverse ways, the paradigm of the internet advertising has also been changed. At the same time, there has been a growing tendency among companies to maximize the purpose of advertising by using game-like internet banner advertising, which provides internet-users with the information of the advertisements by exposing specific information, brands, characters, or image. In spite of the quantitative expansion of the game-like internet banner ads, according to a survey with regard to their click-through rate(CTR), the result indicates the CTR is less than 0.5%. Therefore, this study aims to examine what types of displaying elements of the game-like banner ads gaining in popularity can leave the users with a strong impression, and also to explore what types of displaying elements need to be highlighted for the users' active and aggressive access to internet banner advertisements. Currently advertised game-like banner ads on the internet web sites in different fields are selected. Then, they are analyzed by using seven categories. The findings are expected to lay out systematic and practical guidelines for the future production of game-like banner ads.
