Nowadays, UI(User Interface)'s main target area is getting larger from user's convenience oriented interface, to user's satisfaction oriented interface. In this study, we attempted 'Storytelling User Interface' for fulfillment of user's satisfaction. We analyzed UI in games, distinguished and clarified its effectiveness that conveys main contents and special features to its audience. The most important element in storytelling UI is 'Inherent Drama'. This was proved through the game analysis with Blizzard's 'Diablo', Sierra's 'Home world', Eden Games' 'Test Drive Unlimited', EA's 'Black And White', and Sony Entertainment's 'Eye Of Judgment'. And we divided storytelling elements into 3 pieces, Mood Design - that shows story's background, or traits, Natural Control - for user's feeling as a hero in the content, and Flow Directing - using animation, visual design and sound, etc. Via these elements, we can make the best use of background, icon, animation, every structures and flow in games. Finally, we embodied three pieces for putting in practice for effective improving interface.

With the growing market for the internet advertisement, the user perceptions of the importance of the Internet advertisement have been also changed. It is quite certain that the use of Internet banner advertising, which is much more cost-effective than other types of advertisement, is the most attractive to advertisers. At the same time, the interactivity of the internet banner advertisement has been recognized as an attractive portion of advertisement, which can make the users keep their attention toward the banner advertisement. The internet banner advertisement utilizes its characteristics, such as the additions of both visualized transformations and synesthetic concepts, to increase users' curiosity and interest. Hence, the present study analyzed the cases by exploring potential seven display factors of game-like internet banner advertisement based on previous literature with regard to the analysis of characteristics of the internet banner advertisement, components of design structures, and components of games.

Brain-computer interface is (BCI) is a communication device that the brain activity is directly input to the computer without input devices, such as a mouse or keyboard. As the brain wave interface hardware technology evolves, expensive and large EEG equipment has been downsized cheaply. So it will be applied to various multimedia applications. Among BCI studies, we suggest the domestic and foreign research trend about how the BCI is applied about the game almost people use. Next, look at the problems of the game with the BCI, we would like to propose the future direction of domestic BMI research and development.

The purpose of the present study was to scrutinize computer games that can motivate elementary school students through their interactive "edutainment" effects. The types of elements in computer games that students find interesting as learning media and their impact were studied. The current status of Korean computer games, issues related to learning English, and methods to stimulate the motivation and interest in learning by elementary school students were explored. A computer game model for efficiently teaching English to elementary school students through a connection between computer games and education was suggested. In this model, overall games were designed with the focus on the integration of curriculum and content subjects related to learning activities. For games not to be biased toward entertainment and to have systemized learning steps, the games are composed of an introduction, presentation, practice, production and evaluation, in that order. The model suggested by this plan and composition make it possible to approach learning efficiently with entertaining games based on a systematic learning curriculum. As shown above, developing the model of educational computer games can be seen as an opportunity, which can provide amusement and interests and a broad learning experience as an additional learning method.

The purpose of this study was to propose the method to recognize gestures based on inertia sensor which recognizes the movements of the user using inertia sensor and lets the user enjoy the game by comparing the recognized movements with the pre-defined movements for the game contents production. Additionally, it was tried to provide users with various data entry methods by letting them wear small controllers using three-axis accelerator sensor. Users can proceed the game by moving according to the action list printed on the screen. They can proceed the experiential games according to the accuracy and timing of their movements. If they use multiple small wireless controllers together wearing them on the major parts of hands and feet and utilize the proposed methods, they will be more interested in the game and be absorbed in it.

Typography's original meaning was printing by a plate or a printing type. Nowadays, Typography covers graphic design that composes types visually. Typography has an important mean because of two functions-linguistic and image building functions. Typography helps conveying information and making images. As new media appears, audio-visual factors take an important role. Therefore Typography's image building function be more important than linguistic function. This thesis will handle the relationship between typography and game contents. How typography is described through game contents and how typography's meaning are explained in game contents are topics. And typography's functions and factors on On-line game will be discussed.

Computer games could be regarded as simulation of the real world. Control problems of software agents have long been studied in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), resulting in giving a birth to the behavior-based approach. three main approaches might be categorized out of the history of AI study. First, Cognitivists propose that intelligence could be represented and manipulated in terms of symbols. Second, Connectionists claim that symbols could not be isolated but they are embedded in the body structure. Third, the behavior-based approach is an approach to AI which suggests that intelligence is dynamic property that exists nowhere but emerges in the relationship of an agent and the world including observers while the agent performs behavior. This paper explains and compares the three approaches to AI, then discusses the plausibility of the behavior-based approach and problems. Finally, this paper proposes application of behavior-based approach to computer games in terms of agent control.

This paper analyzes the four game physics engines in terms of real time techniques. Real time physics is the technology that simplifies the physics-based simulation to apply for the real time applications such as game. Our study includes two commercial physics engines, Havok's Physics SDK and NVIDIA's PhysX SDK, and two open source projects, Open Dynamics Engine and Bullet physics engine. As a result, most of them covers rigid body dynamics and some include either deformable body simulation or fluids simulation, or both. For real time simulation, they adopt the simplified numerical methods, the effective in collision detection/response, and also use the parallel processing hardwares, i.e., multi core CPU, Physics processing unit(PPU), or graphics processing unit(GPU).

본 논문은 사전 데이터를 바탕으로 한글 뜻풀이를 하여 한글 단어를 맞추는 앱 어플리케이션 '한글아 놀자'의 설계에 대하여 서술한다. '한글아 놀자'는 게임을 통하여 사용자가 쉽게 한글 단어를 학습 할 수 있도록 만들어진 앱 어플리케이션으로 기존의 유아를 대상으로 하는 유사한 어플리케이션들과 달리 특정 층을 대상으로 잡지 않아, 일반인도 흥미를 가지고 학습 할 수 있고 따라서 다양한 사용자 층을 확보 하여 한글 학습의 접근성을 향상 시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 어플리케이션의 중요한 특징 중 하나로 게임을 진행 하며 잘 몰랐던 단어들은 오답 노트를 통하여 피드백을 해주고, 사용자의 선택에 따라 자신의 단어장에 추가하여 언제든지 복습해 볼 수 있도록 하여 지속적인 학습이 가능하도록 하였다. 그 외에도 '한글아 놀자'는 사전 데이터를 가지고 동작하기 때문에 일상생활에서 잘 쓰이지 않는 단어, 옛말, 사자성어등도 학습이 가능하도록 하여 한글의 활용성을 높이고 사용자가 접하는 단어의 다양성을 높이는데 주력하였다.

This paper attempts to analyze Starcraft by Greimas's Carre Semiotique and the theory of structure generation semiotics, which are useful for non verbal text as well as verbal text. First, by using the Christian Metz's grand syntagma theory and principle, this study articulated the text of starcraft. As a result, it revealed that Starcraft has the axis of sense of war and has the primary sense categories of production and destruction. The sense of the Starcraft is being generated by these axis of sense and sense categories. This analysis is expected to be a stepstone for the furthermore analysis of narrative and discoursive level.
