For many years, the approach taken towards HCI(Human Computer Interaction) has focused on the usability of system and technology. Advances in computing and information technology has shifted the way people use and experience technology from merely using it to enjoying using it. But, there is a lack of theories to conceptualize fun and user fun experience, in the HCI. This paper describes an conceptual approach to "fun" and user's 'fun experience' in the interaction of technology. This paper defines "fun" as positive psychological energy which is produced by playing computer. And this paper provides characteristics of 'Fun experience', which are action mode, random order, free, and activated pleasant. This study provides insights into factors contributing to and influencing fun experiences and the relationships between them; symbol, newness, and vividness.

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.

핸드폰이 단순한 커뮤니케이션 도구에서 종합 엔터테인먼트 기기로 빠르게 진화되고 있으며 이를 뒷받침 하는 하드웨어와 네트워크 기술 역시 계속 발전해 나가고 있다. 또한 핸드폰이 다양한 기능을 제공하고 휴대폰에 내장된 어플리케이션의 종류가 많아 짐에 따라 UI에도 많은 변화가 일어나고 있지만 주로 사용성을 개선하는 기능적인 개선으로 치중되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구의 목적은 핸드폰 UI를 새로운 관점으로 접근하여 '재미'라는 요소를 접목한 실험적인 UI를 기획하고 이를 적용하는 데 있다.

On the other hand, realism and ubiquity had a significant positive effect on perceived fun, but the effect of anonymity on perceived fun was not significant. On the other hand, perceived avatar identity was found to have a significant positive effect on perceived consumer-brand self-congruence. Finally, it was found that the perceived fun in the metaverse fashion brand virtual reality store had a statistically significant positive effect on perceived consumer-brand self-congruence.
