  • In the game balancing. it is so difficult to choose suitable arms among various actions, or arms and to accurately calculate to which level we adjust the balance. The fuzzy method can be properly used in a particular environment which cannot be correctly processed in mathematics or in lessening the time-consuming problems during the accurate number crunching. Because a variety of actions, relations with opponents. previous battle experiences etc. are not easy to be reflected in every occasion, the fuzzy method could be useful in these cases. When the balancing is needed. the data which have been played to that Point are processed by the fuzzy function and calculated to adapt intensity to each action. The ability of characters is regulated in this process. To demonstrate the efficiency of this method. I would like to make clear the excellence of fuzzy method through the following five experiments; a case with invariable ability adjustment, a case adjusted by a randomly chosen action, a case with the strongest weapon selection. a case with the weakest weapon selection and a case with the fuzzy method application.

  • The objective of this research is to discover the rule of gameplay related to the task interdependence to analyse the behavior pattern of social gameplay. Previous literatures related to the gameplay were reviewed and game which was suitable for the gameplay of the task interdependence was selected. A party-play includes a team of five people in the experiment during the gameplay with think-aloud method and video/audio data about action protocol and verbal report were collected. The video observation and protocol analysis were conducted to analyse data. The objective coding scheme were developed from consolidated sequence model task analysis. The player's behavior was analysed. The result was revealed that four rules and four modified rules were included into the total eight behavior pattern. A behavior graph integrated with five gameplay was written. The excellent cooperative spot and error and failure place could be identified. The social gameplay behavior graph is expected to be the key practical design guideline on whether the level design and balance design are proper.

  • With the increase in interest in health in the society, a variety of fusion studies have been conducted by ICT to sports. This study develops a smart bicycle that is run only when a rider maintains balance, and proposes an interface of studio space where the smart bicycle can be experienced. The studio consists of interactive smart bike, a geodesic dome for immersion of content for a single person, and virtual reality content that is implemented to enjoy various sceneries in real space. This study contributes to attempts of design and production of studio that is optimized to interactive space of smart bike for single person. This studio has a scalable interface, which can be applicable to various other interactive contents for sportainmnet.

  • In this study, we designed and developed the virtual reality Exergame using the smart mat and the camera sensor for exercises in indoor environments. For detecting the gestures of a upper body of users, the KINECT camera based the gesture recognition algorithm used angles between user's joint information system was adopted, and the smart mat system including a LED equipment and Bluetooth communication module was developed for user's stepping data during the exercises that requires the gestures and stepping of users. Finally, the integrated virtual reality Exergame system was implement along with the Unity 3D engine and different kinds of user' virtual avatar characters with entertainment game contents such as displaying gesture guideline and a scoring function. Therefore, the designed system will useful for elders who need to improve cognitive ability and sense of balance or general users want to improve exercise ability and the indoor circumstances such home or wellness centers.

  • Recently, virtual reality contents are being experimented and introduced in various fields such as game, education, medical, exhibition, movie, SNS. However, research on virtual reality is mainly focused on industrial and technological perspectives, so contents-centric or contents-oriented research is on virtual reality is very rare. In order to prepare for the future of virtual reality properly, content-oriented research is very much needed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the types, characteristics, and possibilities of virtual reality contents applied to theme parks. For this purpose, we tried to classify the contents type of virtual reality based theme park. The criteria of type classification are divided into 'fixed type', 'continuous moving type', and 'segmented moving type' according to the player's position movement possibility and movement type, here we combine the senses such as tactile, taste, smell, balance etc.

  • Purpose - High quality films are affected by both the production stage and various variables such as the size of the movie investment and marketing that changes consumers' perceptions. Consumer preferences should be recognized first to ensure that the movie is successful. If a film is produced without pre-investigation and analysis of consumer demand and taste, the probability of success will be low. This study investigates the balance of production costs, marketing costs, and profits using game theory, suggesting an optimization strategy using the simplex method of linear programming. Research design, data, and methodology - Before the release of the movie, initial demand is assumed to be driven largely by marketing costs. In the next phase, demand is assumed to be driven purely by a movie's production cost and quality, which might also further determine consumer demand. Thus, it is essential to determine how to distribute pure production costs and other costs (marketing) in a limited movie production budget. Moreover, it should be taken into account how to optimally distribute under the assumption that the audience and production company's input resources are limited. This research simplifies the assumptions for large-scale and relatively small-scale movie investments and examines how movie distribution participant profits differ when each cost is invested differently. Results - When first movers or market leaders have to choose both quality and marketing, it has been proven that pursuing a strategy choosing only one is more likely than choosing both. In this situation, market leaders should maximize marketing costs under the premise that market leaders will not lag their quality behind the quality of second movers. Additionally, focusing on movie marketing that produces a quick effect while ceding creative activity to increase movie quality is a natural outcome in the movie distribution environment since a cooperative strategy between market competitors is not feasible. Conclusions - Government film development policy should ignore quality competition between movie production companies and focus on preventing marketing competition. If movie production companies focus on movie production quality improvement then a creative competition would ensue.
