As web-based programming tools(such as flash action script, javascript, java and etc.) has been improved and it has become more aware to take interactivity importantly as users' whole experience, web sites have evolved from the form of webzine to the form of interactive application that displays more interactive interface and gives instant feedbacks for the users' inputs. Web, rather than software, is used to execute relatively easy tasks by users of various levels, so that web sites could give more fun and less cognitive burden by supporting users' tasks in more interactive way. This paper examined design strategies to make more interactive web by figuring out definition of web interaction as users' experience and by analyzing web interaction design trends from cases of interactive web sites. The ultimate objective of this paper is show how design strategies can be adapted in the web interaction design process. Thus, case study of designing interactive bookshell in E-book site was done and is demonstrating one way of adapting strategies to design web interaction.

In this study, we examined the evaluation of virtual Reality (VR) according to the use of motion platform. We recorded electrogastrogram, skin conductance, blood volume, skin temperature, heart rate, and the frequency of eyeblink before, during, after virtual navigation in 33 subjects. We used simulator sickness questionnaire, presence questionnaire , and self-report to evaluate cybersickness and presence in VR system. All subjects experienced VR two times in Motion platform condition and non-Motion platform condition at two-week intervals. Presence score of motion platform condition was greater than non-motion platform condition. The frequency and severity of cybersickness were significantly reduced in motion platform condition than non-motion platform condition. These results suggest that the use of motion platform that synchronizes visual presentation provides higher presence and reduces cybersickness.

MMO RPG Online game as a new means of human computer interaction has been made rapid progress. Even though many kinds of online game have published, few games are being well received by its user. So we have a problem to be solved what is the fundamentals to attract game users. I will apply a game theory of the Roger Caillois who lived as an typical french thinker. Although Roger Caillois had never experienced a computer game since he died at 1978, his game theory was acknowledged that a game can be classified into four sections to grab the human's interest related with culture. Four sections of game were consisted of Ilinx, Mimicry, Alea, and Agon. The competition with people in game is essential to "Agon" that which stands on the basis of a pride when one is definitely superior to the others. In same way, "Alea" is that which stands on the basis of fortune, Mimicry is that which stands on the basis of simulation, Ilinx is that which stands on the basis of dizzy. In conclusion, I will explain that a game theory of the Roger Caillois is useful tool for deveoper to understand game fundamentals.d game fundamentals.

The game industry has evolved from mobile games to PC online games after the smart-phone industry was opened up. In this environment, the game industry has rather been negatively developing its commercials means than the sufficient fundamental entertainment to the users. Especially, many games were released with better graphic qualities yet poor originality, continuing to be popular without enhancing the market itself. Moreover, the user's recognition level has improved. The users share their online gaming experience easily with the development of network environment. They receive the feedbacks on the quality of the game through the online channels and media by sharing them together. The high margin of the game industry will lead to the negative feedbacks of the users, effecting them to critique the content although the market looks good for now. The game industry's evolution has to be reviewed in the perspective of users, to look back at the successful cases of the past before the mobile era by analyzing and indicating the quality of the games and content's direction. This research is focused on the success factors of from the user's point of view, which has been widely claimed as a popular game franchise publicly before the mobile games had risen. WOW has been the most successful MMORPG game with its user record of 1.2 million till now. For these reasons, this study analyzes 's success factors from the user's point of view by configuring five expert groups, sequentially applying expert group survey, interview, Jobs-to-be-done and Fishbein Model as UX methodologies based on the business model to see through its long term rein in the industry. Consequently, The success factors from the user side of MMORPG provides an opportunity for the users to interact deeply with the game by (1) using well designed 'world view' over 10 years, (2) providing 'national policy' that is based on the locations of the users' culture and language, (3) providing 'expansions' with changes in time to give the digging elements to the users.

Until now, the level design for games has played a very important role in the process of developing games since it has been mapped out and applied so the game players have fun to certain level in playing games. So as game becomes more complex the number of game designers also grow and to make diverse levels, work force and working hours also should grow larger. In this treatise, it suggest a way where level's structure is changing dynamically so with only one level you can experience diverse levels by introducing wandering agent to the level structure. Also, I am trying to show the possibility of balance between the players by wandering agent.

e-learning은 오프라인 교육에 비해 시간과 공간의 제한을 받지 않고, 반복학습이 가능하며, 비용이 저렴하다. 그러나 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 1990년대 말 도입되어 6년 이상 경과되었으나 아직 널리 보급되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 e-learning이 갖는 다양한 장점에도 불구하고 왜 채택이 저조한가에 대한 원인을 찾고, 보급을 확산시킬 방안을 찾는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 e-learning 채택에 대한 선행연구를 검토하고 e-learning 채택자와 미채택자에 대한 인터뷰를 수행하였다. 결과적으로 유용성, 지속성: 재미, 반복성, 비용, 접근성, 학습동기, 즉시성 요인이 e-learning 채택에 영향을 미친다는 연구모델을 도출하였다 여기서 비용과 접근성은 기존 선행연구들과 반대의 가설을 제시하였다. 즉, e-learning은 오프라인에 비해 비용이 저렴하기 때문에 그리고 반복해서 학습할 수 있기 때문에 학습을 미루게 되어 오히려 채택을 저해한다는 것이다. 다중회귀분석을 통해 검증한 결과 즉시성은 채택되지 않았고, 비용이 저렴하기 때문에 그리고 반복해서 학습할 수 있기 때문에 e-learning을 채택하게 된다고 나타나, 본 연구의 가설은 성립되지 않고 기존 연구가설이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 대상이 e-learning을 사용해본 경험이 비교적 많지 않은 사람을 대상으로 하였기 때문에 나타난 결과라 생각된다. 향후 e-learning을 6개월 이상 사용해본 사람들을 대상으로 연구해 볼 필요가 있다고 생각된다.

This study analyzed user experience elements with healing game characteristics in eight horticultural games based on Lazro's theory of four fun elements, aiming to use horticultural treatment effects as basic data for horticultural game design. The games were found to be developed around "Serious Fun" and "Easy Fun," with "Hard Fun" and "People Fun" also included. Healing games including horticultural activities were highly linked to actual horticultural activities, resulting in horticultural treatment effects. Future studies will design horticultural healing games and verify their effects based on these results.

모바일 게임 시장 규모가 커짐에 따라 RPG, 보드게임 등 다양한 종류의 모바일 게임이 출시되고 있다. 그 중 보드게임의 경우 대부분이 과도한 과금 요소, 지나치게 운에 따라 승패가 결정되어 이에 불만을 가지는 사용자들이 많다. 본 논문에서는 기존 보드게임의 형식을 탈피해 새로운 보드게임 형식을 제공하고, 운적인 요소와 과금 요소를 최소화하여 전략을 통해 승패를 가르는 모바일 기반 게임 애플리케이션을 개발하였다. 또한 보드게임에 레이싱 요소를 결합함으로써 턴 방식이 아닌 실시간 방식으로 게임을 운영하고, 게임의 긴박감을 증가시켜 색다른 경험과 재미를 제공한다.
