Recently, the mobile game industry is explosively extending and advancing. Nevertheless, although research on IT acceptance has been actively performed, the effective studies have not been accomplished in the acceptance of mobile game. This study, therefore, explores the factors affecting customer's intention to use mobile game. Five external factors(service quality, social influence, instant connectivity, self-innovativeness, and self-efficacy) are proposed to test the several hypotheses. The factors are classified to three dimensions - system, individual, and society. The research model is based on various studies on TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) and mobile service. A survey of mobile game users collected 270 cases, and we used 261 cases for statistical analyses. The analyses show that service quality, instant connectivity, self-innovativeness, and self-efficacy have an indirect effect on the intention to use through perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. We provide the important factors that should be focused on when an enterprise develops and promotes new mobile game products.

A large part of the wireless Internet contents which the young people access through their mobile phones is mobile games. However, mobile games currently available in the market are mostly simple entertainment packages, and there are hardly any educational game contents. This research divided the middle school computer education curriculum into five parts-common PC knowledge, operating systems, word processor, Internet, and multimedia-and designed and implemented a crossword puzzles mobile game. The mobile game designed in this research was given an emphasis to allow access of school lesson contents anywhere and anytime through actual mobile telecommunication networks, so that the students may experience less barrier to more fun and entertaining educational contents. The developed educational mobile game was applied on 2nd year middle school students. The mobile game had positive educational effects.

This study analyzes that Korea online-game emerges by naturally developed demanders, not by intentional suppliers(government/firms). Knowledge Ecological Approach is used to explain the emergence of Korea online-game industry. The research shows several knowledge factors that Korea online-game developed successfully. First, newly developed human resource(mainly lead users) play a strong positive feedback in the knowledge ecology system. The interactive system consists of social & environmental actors(local/global technological textbooks, universities, informal education institutes, companies etc.). Second, early developers start up venture firms through on/offline creative communities which give them project based job experience. Policy implication of the research is that the naturally emerged knowledge ecology, where various actors interact efficiently, determines the fountain new industry rather than discontinuous, intentional physical resources.

In this research, Affective computing game has been developed which reacts with a player's bio-signals. A modified computer mouse will be used to collect bio-signals by GSR, FSR, and infrared thermometer. This modified computer mouse collect human bio-signals in non-intrusive way. The collected data is complementary reflected in 3 level of tension of a player. The player's tension affects on the game and the reaction for NPC will be followed. Then this leads to plot changes individually. To let diverse NPC reaction and interactive story telling, Live 2d and Inkle Script have been used. This research can be alternative method on the game development using Affective computing.

Nowadays, in accordance with our information-oriented society, industries based on digital Technology have been quickly developing all over the world. This industryhas been playing an important role in improving the quality of peoples'lives so far and will continue to do so, both culturally and socially through industrial and economic aspects. Particularly, the electronic game, on e of the representatives, is providing an intensive value-added segment to the entertainment industry. Games are deeply rooted in people's lives and have a big influence on the industry, society and culture, even our life styles. Consequently, this study is investigating change the electronic game by the times and analyzing the game entity. It is based on the research and analysis of the transition of electronic games in each era. From now on, we will look forward, using previous material in an attempt to forecast the right direction of electronic game design in the future.

An interactive wireless-game device based on multi-channel electromyogram has been developed to help rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia. The device is able to provide a visual feedback and rehabilitation motivations to the patients. The game contents were made according to the number of applied channels and, their level and speed can also be controlled depending on the recovery states of patients. Patient satisfaction survey was conducted to evaluate the necessity and usefulness of the proposed device after playing the game. The results show that the proposed system is expected to give hemiplegia patients exciting and effective rehabilitation chances, if more diverse and specialized rehabilitation games are developed.

Augmented reality game has differences with traditional games in the way what it includes physical risks happened in the real world. Although accidents related to Pokemon Go are increasing, academic discussions on the issues are rare. Thus, this study explores risk types caused by the augmented reality game and examined how perception of the risks affect usage intention on the game. This study also provides the research implications through comparative analysis between youth group who generally has the tendency toward game addiction and older group. According to the results, teenagers had less usage intention when perceived financial risk increase. In case of over twenty, time risk had negative relationship with usage intention. Physical risk had no significant effect on usage intention for teenagers, but positive relationship was observed in case over twenty. These results imply the necessity of an appropriate regulation for safe game play.

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.

All through the World, the Game Market has grown up speedily and the Game technology progress rapidly for the advancement of the computer technology and the increase of the number of PC in use. For in this thesis, we will research on a real-time 3D game engine technique that is the core of FPS(First Person Shooter) which apply a 3D virtual reality and deduce a production of contents. Finally we will comment on a direction in development of the game engine.

This letter considers the problem of resource sharing among a relay and multiple user nodes in cooperative transmission networks. We formulate this problem as a sellers' market competition and use a noncooperative game to jointly consider the benefits of the relay and the users. We also develop a distributed algorithm to search the Nash equilibrium, the solution of the game. The convergence of the proposed algorithm is analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed game can stimulate cooperative diversity among the selfish user nodes and coordinate resource allocation among the user nodes effectively.
