본 논문에서는 입체 영상을 이용한 몰입형 3차원 게임 제작 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 셔터글래스를 이용하여 좌안과 우안의 영상을 분리 투영하여 사용자로 하여금 입체감 을 느낄 수 있도록 한다. 이때, 사용자가 느끼는 눈의 피로를 최소화하기 위하여 입체 영상 디스플레이에 필요한 인자들을 최적으로 선택하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 예시되는 블록격파게임에서의 충돌처리를 효율적으로 구현하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 체적소와 광선 추적법을 응용한 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Currently in South Korea, the online game market brings in revenues of around 4,522 hundred billion Won. Thus, it becomes obvious that the number of online gamers has been increasing over the years and will probably continue to increase. Often times, the success of online games is determined by the characteristics of the game. This includes anything from the action to the plot and story development of the game. This is a crucial element in determining how interested a gamer will be in the game, which in turn can also lead to more effective technology development and cost investment in the overall game market. Research is being conducted by 'Mu', 'Ragnarok' and 'Laghaim', on the game characteristics of successful MMORPG online games. 'Mu's' target research are females, while 'Ragnarok' and 'Laghaim' are targeting the male gamer. This study will aid game companies in developing more games with successful game characteristics that are attractive to garners.

Role-Playing Game (RPG)에서는 플레이어가 조종하는 캐릭터 외에도 컴퓨터가 조종하는 Non-Player Character(NPC)가 등장한다. 플레이어는 NPC와 이러한 상호 작용들을 통해 점점 게임의 세계관을 이해하면서 게임에 몰입할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위해서 일반적으로 시나리오나 세계관에 따라 필요한 NPC를 생성, 배치하고 적당한 대사와 퀘스트를 부여한다. 그러나 이러한 구조에서는 NPC는 항상 정해진 정적인 대사만을 할 수 있다. 그 결과, 플레이어들은 NPC와 플레이 시간이 길어질수록 반복되는 대사에 흥미를 잃고 점점 대사를 읽지 않고 진행에 필요한 부분만을 얻어내려 하게 된다. 또한 이러한 구조는 게임 콘텐츠를 추가하고자 할 때, 새로 생성하는 NPC의 대사를 전부 새로 작성해야 하는 단점도 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 동적인 게임 환경 구축을 위한 방법으로 온톨로지 기반의 대화 생성 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 플레이어가 NPC와 대화하고 싶은 내용과 관련된 키워드를 제시하면 온톨로지를 이용하여 제시한 키워드와 관련이 있고, 현재 상황과 조건이 맞는 대화나 퀘스트를 제공한다. 그 결과, 유저와의 상호 작용이 중요해지므로 플레이어의 게임 몰입도를 더욱 높일 수 있다. 또한 시스템 구축 과정에서 생성되는 온톨로지를 이용하여 다른 다양한 기능들을 추론할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

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.

As people increasingly play online games, numerous new features have been proposed to increase players' log-on time at online gaming sites. However, few studies have investigated why people continue to play certain online games. This research would verify that enjoyment experience could be explained by the conceptual framework. In the first, this study results indicate that customers would show a higher level of loyalty if they had an optimal experience with the games. The state of flow was felt when players were aware of opportunities for personal interaction and social interaction. The personal interaction could be motivated either to achieve the high cognitive performance or by providing the equity of distribution of the objective performance in order to examine players' cognitive performance; the social interaction can be motivated either to enhance a high level of self-esteem of player or to achieve the positive reputation in order to evaluate their self-esteem. This finding can answer the questions of what enjoyment experience is and why players are repeatedly playing specific online games.

The escape theory is the theory of problem behavior such as suicide. The purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of gaming disorder, which has been attracting attention as a typical youth problem, through escape theory. Suicide theory is a process in which the problem triggered by the negative external environment flows into internal attribution and self-criticism, and this leads to a process leading to problematic behavior with disgust self-awareness. This process was applied to the environment, psychology, and behavior of adolescents. As a result, the lack of affection and consistency of the parents resulted in negative external environment, which affected the self-esteem of children by creating a negative external environment. And low self-esteem caused negative emotions, lowered self control, and confirmed to induce game addiction. The results of this analysis show that game addiction has a structure similar to obsessive behaviors such as binge eating and shopping addiction explained through the escape theory model and it is necessary to concentrate more on the environmental psychological factors for game addiction research.

This study distinguished game use groups by considering adaptive game use and maladaptive game use of middle school students at the same time, and analyzed the difference in lack of self-control, peer-support, and game usage by group. To this end, the data of 287 middle school students was analyzed in the Game User Panel Survey(5th year) of the KOCCA. As a result of the cluster analysis, the game use groups were divided into the high level coexist group, the adaptive use group, and the normal group. The three groups showed the gap of lack of self-control, peer-support, and game usage.

This study investigated an evolutionary process of In-game Animation and researched on the action of realization establishing virtual reality. In-game Animation, functioning as contents to visualize games, is responsible for conveying information to achieve goals of games. In-game Animation which is affected by graphic technology was initiated with setting up indicators by dot and line. Followed by the development of technology, In-game Animation has pursued realization, after passing through processes of iconography, materialization, and dimensionalization. The realization of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is very important to provide the experience of immersion, as it forms a sense of presence through such visual tactility. The process to create meaning of reality provides gamers with experiences, and leads them to expand senses through visual perception and finally absorb the virtuality as reality. Therefore, the image of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is not limited to blindly portray a realistic image. In addition, the process of realization pursued by In-game Animation is an action to immerse in the game rather than a mere product of technological development.

This study has made an in-depth analysis of the 'Puzzle System' which is a characteristic structural unit of the Adventure Game, and concentrates on the mechanism where the experience arouses in the player a 'desire (quasi-need) to finish' that leads to one's immersion and engagement in the game. In the course of conducting this study, documentary records were consulted and also this writer personally played video games to learn the component elements and fundamental characteristics of the Adventure Games and to experience how the player was immersed in the game. Thus, the Puzzle System in the Adventure Game was defined and an analysis was made of the structure and course of play where the puzzle part and the narrative part within the system organically interacted between them in the system. In order to confirm the formation and effects of 'desire to finish' shown in the hypothetic assumptions, two experiment-purpose game units were produced, one with dramatic cut scenes and the other without them, so that differences between them could be found. I also conducted an experiment to learn the generation and effect of the 'desire to finish' of the Puzzle elements by using different games with a varying degree of difficulty.
