Advances in medical technology and living standards have led to an age of aging. In addition, the development of technology and the popularization of computers have led to the development of the contents business and the release of several functional games. Among these functional games, silver functional games are being played to solve problems such as dementia, a major problem in the aging era. In this study, prior research was analyzed to suggest factors that help design based on the kinetic elements of the design method of the motion-based convergence game for the leisure use of the silver generation. Based on the analysis, the model of exercise factors for preventing dementia is presented. This research design a silver motion-based functional game using the anti-dementia exercise model presented in this study in the future, we expect to see an effective and efficient silver game in the long term.

Outdoor play for young children can promote the development of physical development, emotional development, and creativity development. However, due to safety accidents that occur in outdoor play, outdoor play is not progressed sufficiently. In this paper, we have developed smart functional educational games for AR education which can be easily used in early childhood education. In order to maximize the educational effect of the developed game and to provide customized education on the field, we conducted a focus group interview with a group of in - service child care teachers in the game design stage. Through this, we developed a functional game with AR system and verified the educational effect.

This paper describes the development of a functional game for preventing dementia for the elderly based on virtual reality. The game was developed using the Unity 3D engine to create a fishing spot, a virtual reality space. In consideration of the fact that the object of the game is an elderly person relatively unfamiliar with the virtual reality, the number of operation buttons is minimized and the sense of resistance and fatigue are reduced by an intuitive game configuration. In addition, the game was designed to give people a sense of accomplishment with a score system after the game, and to encourage them to participate in the game Overall, the developed game consists of main, interface, stage, score, TTS, tutorials, and ending credit. Each category stage is divided into three stages and realized in one integrated environment, and VRHMD can be used to games that enhance memory, attention, and judgment.

The imperative programming language like C language is Generally used when we develop the game program. But there is the need of much effort and time on low-level-details in order to express the game program that has complicated and varied motion. I will try to take measures to use the pure functional language, Haskell as the method of simplifying complex game program. The pure functional programming language like Haskell has excellence of technology and it has become specific in many domains. In this paper I'll discuss the difference between The two languages and merits and demerits in the game development aspect. Also discuss the possibility of putting Haskell to practical use in the future.

This study aims to investigate how the game based FES paradigm influences on EEG spectrum. Thirteen subjects were recruited for this study. We selected Fp1, Fp2, F3, F4, T3, T4, P3 and P4 for the EEG recording and the wrist was selected as the FES rehabilitation site. EEG spectrum were compared between FES only and FES with game condition. The results showed that FES game significantly suppressed alpha rhythm in EEG compared to the FES only condition.

The study classifies online game users with two groups, which are users who purchase functional items and emotional items. This research used statistic tool, STATA MP, trying unpaired t-test to find relationships between two groups on payment intention and characteristics. The result shows that the users with functional items prefer community-oriented mind and interaction with other users while users with emotional items intend to consider item's design and superiority with higher purchasing satisfaction. The result of this study seems to give some implications to game companies when improving its purchasing system with charged items.

Currently, as Korea enters into a fast aging society, the problem of dementia population is increasing. In this paper, we intend to contribute to the improvement of welfare for the elderly by developing virtual reality technology and related interface technology to effectively perform hand movements known as effective methods for preventing and treating dementia. As the content of the research and development of this paper, it is designed to be easy for the elderly to use and stimulate brain function by applying VR technology using sensors, and to activate mental and physical activities for the elderly who are marginalized in terms of cultural welfare. We intend to develop by classifying the types of games and contents that can induce them. As a result of this thesis, we developed contents using virtual reality to improve cognitive abilities for elderly people with poor cognitive ability to activate the brains of users' cognition, memory, and attention to prevent and treat dementia I want to contribute.

Arcade game up until early 2000 had been highly influential and profitable industry that occupied most of the market share for the Korean domestic game industry. However, extensive and yet tightened restrictions were imposed to the industry in 2006 due to the problems of speculative games such as winning rate manipulation, serious addictiveness, and etc. This resulted in damaging healthy arcade game business and eventually caused it seemingly impossible to comeback up until now. This study is to address the current arcade game industry in Korea along with the best practices in other countries to come up with propositions for the comeback of domestic arcade game industry and improvement of competitiveness. Ultimately it is to develop diversification and flexibility and to induce new business opportunities in the domestic arcade game industry by proposing the ways to convert the bad perception and introduction of functional games.

Because of a rising in the standard of living and the development of medical technology, Korea is expected to become an aging society more than 14% elderly population and the silver generation will be responsible for the large portion of economic activities. The silver generation has relatively diminished in perception, learning, and exercise due to the physical aging. Therefore, it is important the development of game contents which can constantly provide the maintenance function of physical and mental health and the functional exercise with spending the leisure time. In this paper, we suggest a design method for developing the game contents which are able to help the silver generation to strengthen their lower extremities and to enjoy their leisure time. The proposed method will enable to lead the silver generation to carry on the physical activities with the amusement of playing a game through the functional design concepts appropriate for the ability of the silver generation's perception and physical activities, an adaptive game process customized by the individual capability and a user-friendly sensory interface.

This study conducted to analyze the difference of perceived benefits, psychological well-being, exercise application attachment, and perceived exercise achievement according to the message frame provided in the mobile fitness game. Repeated Measure Design and Playtest methodologies were used for this research. As a result, when gain messages were shown, all factors were higher than the case of showing loss message. The results of this study emphasize that when persuasion messages need to be presented through a health functional game, gain messages can be more effectively delivered to the users of health functional game than loss messages.
