게임 시장 규모는 하루가 다르게 성장 하고 있고 게임의 종류 또한 다양해지고 유저층도 넓어지고 있다. 그로 인한 새로운 하나의 여가문화가 생겼으며, 미디어 산업의 고부가 가치 창출을 이끌고 있다고 볼 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 재미로써의 기능과 그에 따른 병폐가 고부가가치 게임산업의 많은 부작용으로 대두되며, 최근 사회의 이슈가 되여 게임 중독성이 날로 심각해 지고 있는 실정이다. 게임 개발업체와 판매자 입장에선 유저들의 게임중독은 오히려 이득이 될 수 있겠지만, 장기적으로는 심각한 사회문제로 대두 될 것이다. 이런 사태를 미연에 방지 하기 위해서는 대책이 필요한데 불행히도 게임에 중독 되는 원인은 너무나도 다양하다. 또한 현재 게임 개발자들에게 이러한 인식과 대책이 미흡한 실정이고, 뒤늦게 나온 대책으로 청소년 PC방 출입을 아침9시부터 밤 10시까지로 제한한 사례도 있지만 현 실정에 큰 영향은 주지 못하고 있다. 게임 중독을 미연에 방지하기 위한 방안으로 법적인 제제가 필요하며, 게임 디자인에 시작에서부터 중독에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 게임의 중독성을 방지하기 위한 인터페이스 디자인을 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 가상에서의 자신의 얼굴 ID나 캐릭터에 인체의 리듬을 적용하여 ID나 캐릭터도 쉬어야 한다는 개념을 심는 대안 시스템을 제작한다면 지금 까지 보아왔던 게임 속의 등장 캐릭터를 단순한 그래픽이 아닌 자신과 같은 인격체로 느낄 수 있으며, 이로 인해 게임의 몰입과 중독에 어떠한 효과가 나타나는지 분석하고 나온 결과를 근거로 인간에게 이로운 게임을 만드는 초석이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대해 본다.

In this study, I will describe the difference in operating methods centered on the game operating system between beginners and expert groups in MORPG PC games and focus on the methodology to analyze them. First of all, a hypothesis was established to distinguish between beginners and expert groups based on the manipulation system of character movements commonly used in MORPG, and through this distinction, it was analyzed whether finger movement data and key stroke data related to the manipulation system can be significantly used in the future. Based on these analysis results, it was found that the analysis methodology that combines finger motion data and key stroke analysis is meaningful as a user test methodology for the PC MORPG game operating system in the future.

Game character customizing has evolved with the desires of users who want to enjoy the scarcity value; thereby, the category which is subjected to character customizing is extending. However, despite such a great interest, character customizing interface has been created for the sake of the convenience of each game developing company, without proven guidelines. The confusion of designers who create interface is caused by using independently created interface without testing the optimal form of interface according to manipulative activity which integrates game character customizing interface, and this confusion leads to the discomfort of users. All the more, studies on character customizing have been mostly concerned with the preference for certain characters according to user propensity or character producing methods. Therefore, basic research into interface relative to character customizing is insufficient. Accordingly, through the development of universal guidelines appropriate for game character customizing interface. the discomfort of users is to be removed. This paper conducted an investigative analysis of the current interface of games which support character customizing, and classified the type of interface. Then, the paper researched 16 types of games that support character customizing out of games ranked within top 50 in the on-line game ranking. As a result of the analysis, the characteristic feature of every game appeared in the offer of detailed optional factors. Those detailed optional factors could be classified, to some extent; however, their manipulative interfaces were discovered not to be classified into different types. The results of this paper will be used as an analytic system in the preparation of the guidelines of game character customizing interface, down the road.

Since various applications is converged in digital televisions, playing game on DTV will be available in the immediate future. Game programming of DTV is more difficult than that of PC in a viewpoint of game development. Since TV use very simple remote controller as user interface, mapping type, choice type, and one-button type are used among mobile game user interfaces. In addition, we suggest to use text class, numeral class, bitmap class, and shape class of DTV OSD middleware which is proven software, instead of developing new DTV-oriented game engine. The proposed interfaces can be applied in various game situations and allow intuitive and fast operations. By using OSD middleware, game actions can be subdivided into state structures, OSD objects can be used as game objects, and events and actions of remote controller keys are easily defined.

As hardware performance rises, game users demand higher computer graphic, more convenient UI(User Interface), faster network, and smarter AI(Artificial Intelligence). At this time, however, AI development is accomplished by a co-development team or only one developer. For that reason, it's hard to verify that AI performance and basic game AI technology is lacking for developing high-level AI. Searching the merits and demerits of existing game AI platforms, we investigate main points to consider when designing game AI platforms in this paper. From this we suggest Darwin, a game platform, based on agent that developers embody AI easily and capable of proposing AI test with module that makes them find strategic position. And then evaluate achievement results through making agent used strategic module that Darwin offers.

The paper presents a framework for developing real-time multi-user board games and applications in augmented reality. Recently, increase the environment to playing game in augmented reality with advancement of computing ability improvement and wireless networking technique of mobile device. While the trend of utilizing this kind of games is creasing, the facts that there is a shortage of games whose contents are attractive to users. In this paper we propose a framework that enables game content developers to develop new game contents base on augmented reality easily and quickly. This framework is an automatic service that can augment in various methods by using the supported marker recognition service. Therefore game contents developers do not need to know about either augmented reality technique or the inner process structure. The framework also supports special functions and various interaction interfaces for augmented reality board game and components of the board game we can implement. These enable developers to accomplish all the necessary components and structures of the board game more easily.

In order to design and develop a ubiquitous game, it is necessary to develop a natural and flexible interface between the real world and the virtual world, based on social and physical context awareness. We design user interface model and the tactile sensing system that performs virtual interaction and collection of the sensor data. It is sensitive so the collected data should be filtered, rearranged and analyzed. This information is quite different from stylus input, keyboard, button or mouse for interaction. We detect kicked 3D force position of a ball, moment of area, moment of inertia and modified ball shape using tactile sensing system and analyzed data. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach is desirable and robust as well as the results can be used realistic actions and reactions considering attack force and to make interesting environments for ubiquitous game.
