In this research we attempt to observe the creative and cultural liberal translation for 'Hearthstone'. Also we examine the reaction of the game players when they face the translated expressions. At first, we consider the free translation methods. Then, we contemplate how the translating skills are employed. Next, the response of the game users is weighed through the questionnaires survey. Based on the results the players prefer the closeness between the original and the altered text. Otherwise, they tend to grant the freely translated terms without finding the proper terms.

This study aims to propose instituting the serious games of language-based cognitive enhancement for the BIF children. The program consists of 4 cognitive areas (perception, attention, working memory, knowledge inference) in 4 language dimensions (phoneme, word, sentence, discourse). 16 games of 4 areas/2 dimensions with 3 difficulty levels were implemented in a mobile station and pilot-tested to children including BIFs. The results from the pilot tests supported for the validity and effectiveness of our games: Children's game performance correlated with their IQ scores (overall and sub-areas) revealing significant differences between the groups. The stroop scores in pre-and-post training hinted the increase of children's cognitive control.

In this paper, we analyzed to find out the effects of phonological awareness game using teacher assisted robot on 5-year-old children's reading ability and reading interest. A total of 30 5-year-old children were equally divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group conducted a total of 16 game activities using an educational robot twice a week for three weeks, the control group conducted the same 16 game activities without the robot during the same period. The results are as follows. Firstly, the experimental group was better in reading ability than that of the control group, especially total scores, word meaning, omission, and replacement. Secondly, the experimental group showed more interest in reading than the control group. From these findings, it can be suggested that phonological awareness games using the educational robot lay foundation to developing and enhancing on 5-year-old children's reading abilities and interest in reading.

In this paper, we describe a new summarizing method based on a graph-based and a sense-based analysis. In the graph-based analysis, we convert sentences in a document into word vectors and calculate the similarity between each sentence using LSA. We reflect this similarity of sentences and the rarity scores of words in sentences to define weights of edges in the graph. Meanwhile, in the sense-based analysis, in order to determine the sense of words, subjectivity or objectivity, we built a database which is extended from the golden standards using Wordnet. We calculate the subjectivity of sentences from the sense of words, and select more subjective sentences. Lastly, we combine the results of these two methods. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method using classification games, which are usually used to measure the performances of summarization methods. We compare our method with the MS-Word auto-summarization, and verify the effectiveness of ours.

This paper was intended to present a way to incorporate Korean content and products of Korean brands into functional coloring games that color them for the continued development of digital hallyu at this time of the world's derivation, as shown by the Korean Wave, a word that means more and more people like Korean culture worldwide. For the development of the Korean digital convergence functional game industry that can solve users' leisure time, we will compare and analyze the advanced image cuts provided by coloring games that have been commercialized and serviced, and seek ways to utilize the image of Hallyu contents that are not provided in existing coloring games. In the image cuts used in functional coloring games, we will find ways to utilize differentiated Hallyu content image cuts and study and present the direction of development of aesthetic elements of coloring games. Research on Korean Wave content, which has made use of our own aesthetic elements, should continue, and functional games using digital mobile device devices and game content elements utilizing Korean images in the Korean game industry will help spread Korean pop culture and digital Hallyu.

In this paper, we described the development of a Korean Manual Alphabet (KMA) learning game with avatar. KMA letters correspond to the vocabulary of Korean Sign Language (KSL) when spelling a word. Each KMA letter corresponds to a letter of the Korean Alphabet (KA) and KA is represented as hand shapes by sign language user. We developed a KMA learning game for a beginner to learn KMA letters from sign language avatar and practice KMA presentation easily. The system composed of sign language teacher avatar GUI popup window based on OpenGL, KMA letter recognition module, KA letter raining game module and USB camera. A user learns a KMA letter with expressing KA syllabic from avatar and inputs a KMA letter to the system using USB camera. We evaluated the efficiency of the developed system through the verification of users.

Avatars are a visual representation of users in a virtual world such as an MMORPG. These avatars are often seen as representations or idealizations of the user's actual self. However, this view does not account for the prevalence of two behaviors: multiple avatars and 'gender swapping'. An exercise and questionnaire were created to study avatar customization practices across players outside the context of any particular game to understand better user motivations in creating their virtual selves. A preliminary trial of the exercise showed little correlation between age or gender and gender swapping. While those of non-traditional sexuality were more likely to gender swap, half of traditional sexuality also swapped. Finally, the personality trait, Openness to Experience, showed promising correlation with gender swapping.
