The digital era opens with the changing times and many parts of life has become convenient. With this convenience of living, the obesity rate of people is gradually increasing, and the necessity of exercise is emerging. However, many studies have shown that many people do not exercise or stop exercising in three to six months. In this paper, we have designed and developed a "Walking Pet" prototype, a healthcare-inspired AR game, based on the theoretical background of exercise and the precedent studies to verify these facts. The developed "Walking Pet" provides exercise data to motivate the person to exercise and apply the pet system to eventually enjoy the exercise. In order to verify the effectiveness of the "Walking Pet" prototype developed in this paper, we surveyed 100 males and females in need of health care applications and surveyed the satisfaction of pure functional aspects.

The Korean game industry has stopped growing due to internal and external instability. It is the fourth industrial revolution that has been mentioned as a new breakthrough in the domestic game industry in front of these internal and external instabilities. The fourth industrial revolution is changing the paradigm of the existing industrial structure, and has brought ecological changes not only to the manufacturing industry but also to the contents industry as a whole. In this paper, we will explore the development direction of domestic game industry through the 4th industrial revolution and study the relation between development of AI and AR / VR and game industry which will be the main core of the fourth industrial revolution in the future.

$Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ Go is an augmented reality (AR) game developed jointly by Niantic and Nintendo. It's a new type of augmented reality role-playing game (RPG) where AR elements like location information, visual recognition technology and GPS navigation technology are integrated with the intellectual property of the popular $Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ anime. The global success of $Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ Go can be attributed to the innovative incorporation of AR technologies into the game but also to the utilization of the Pokemon story which had been developed for 20 years. In summary, Pokemon Go is the fruitful result of a successful storytelling that combines the humanistic imagination of a popular, cultural archetype and the engineering imagination of AR game technologies.

Awareness of Korean VR/AR industry has been spread via the success of PokemonGo syndrome. In accordance with the increase in interest VR/AR ecosystem in the domestic VR/AR industry is to equip the global competitiveness of C-P-N-D aspect is essential. This paper analyzes the state VR/AR industrial ecosystem status in the C-P-N-D perspective and examines the government and the local governments of VR / AR content policy in supporting ecological point of view. Especially, the importance of the platform and IP has been noted based on VR/AR industry.

The advent of realistic technologies such as AR has extended the interaction area from the computer environment to the offline space. As demand is expected to increase in the future, the need for study on interactive storytelling that mediates online and offline is emerging. This study proposes a storytelling structure to achieve a balance between interactivity and narrativity in interactive narrative characterized by online and offline mediation. According to a case study of ARG and AR games based on Henry Jenkins' theory of 'Environmental Storytelling', there should be a balance between the space designed by the game designer and the space created by the player's interaction, and the roles should be properly distributed in both online and offline spaces to contribute to the formation of narrative together. In addition, it is necessary to borrow the characteristics of ARG that achieves a balance of interactivity and narrativity based on offline spatiality. The significance of this study is to expand the area of interactive storytelling, which has been discussed centering on online, to offline, and to suggest the interaction area as a factor to consider. In addition, as a basic study related to storytelling that mediates online and offline, it is expected to provide a direction for the development of content based on realistic technologies.

Recently, he trend of the game culture have been changed rapidly from offline games to online games. This change drives the advancement of online games, but it causes the standardization of the game culture. Few years ago, there was a rising interest in board games. Board cafes, place for playing board games, are spread over Korea rapidly because board games give players connectedness through direct social interactions that is lacking from online games. However, the board games lose their popularity because of their complex rules and expensive cost. In this paper, we would like to develop the system using Augmented Reality(AR) that could easy the problems caused by the complex rules of the board games.

체감형 게임의 재미를 극대화 하기 위해서 몰입감있는 게임화면이 제공되어야 한다. 곡면, 반구형 스크린은 일반 평면 스크린을 사용할 때 보다 더 높은 몰입감을 줄 수 있지만 투사시 생기는 왜곡영상 보정에 많은 계산이 요구되는 문제가 있다. 정지된 영상(프리젠테이션 화면)이나 비디오 영상은 메모리 버퍼링을 통해 시스템이 요구하는 속도를 보장할 수 있으나, 사용자와 상호작용이 요구되는 게임에서는 사용자의 반응을 처리한 후 매 프레임 마다 빠른 워핑(warping) 처리를 요구하게 되는데, 렌더링될 화면을 미리 보정할 수가 없기 때문에 시스템 처리속도 저하의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 체감형 게임을 곡면에 투사하는 방법과 GPU를 이용한 빠른 영상 보정을 제안함으로써 게임에서 요구하는 처리 속도를 보장하고 고해상도의 게임화면을 사용할 수 있도록 했다. 웹카메라를 이용하여 스크린과 프로젝터될 영상간의 호모그래피(homographpy)를 정의해서 워핑했고 워핑 연산을 HLSL로 작성하여 GPU를 이용했다. 실험결과로 반구형 스크린에서 몰입감 있는 AR 탁구게임을 보인다.

Recently, local game companies have been increasingly producing PC-based game that were popular with users among the existing commercialized games into mobile games through remakes. In this paper, we studied how console-based game influenced mobile augmented reality game . Through this process, we extracted five characteristics of mobile augmented reality, then interpreted and classified the meaning of this. Based on released in 2016, the scope of research is limited to console and mobile games previously released. According to the analysis, showed 50 characteristics and borrowed 78% from its existing Pokemon, 22% from its new production, and contained 24% reality. We also found that the Pokemon game series , and the exotic series had much influence on production. Based on this research data, we hope that augmented reality games for mobile will be made more active using existing game contents. It is also hope that such activities will lead to the growth of the home and abroad game industry.

Importance and necessity is enlarged due to globalization. So, English education is diverse and recently applies AR(Augmented Reality) technology to offer immersion and interest. Contents in this paper are Mobile AR contents for training infant English cognition. Our system displays teaching aid objects into 3D models, lets infants listen to English conversation and teaches them everyday English like a play. Considering infants that like games, this system adds an English game about each object of teach aids. To attract infants and parents interest persistingly, We give them immersion and interest by suggesting a different event at each step.
