This paper presents a cooperation strategy between a human operator and autonomous robots for an interactive robot soccer game, The interactive robot soccer game has been developed to allow humans to join into the game dynamically and reinforce entertainment characteristics. In order to make these games more interesting, a cooperation strategy between humans and autonomous robots on a team is very important. Strategies can be pre-programmed or learned by robots themselves with learning or evolving algorithms. Since the robot soccer system is hard to model and its environment changes dynamically, it is very difficult to pre-program cooperation strategies between robot agents. Q-learning - one of the most representative reinforcement learning methods - is shown to be effective for solving problems dynamically without explicit knowledge of the system. Therefore, in our research, a Q-learning based learning method has been utilized. Prior to utilizing Q-teaming, state variables describing the game situation and actions' sets of robots have been defined. After the learning process, the human operator could play the game more easily. To evaluate the usefulness of the proposed strategy, some simulations and games have been carried out.

본 연구에서는 고해상도 지원을 목적으로 네트워크로 연결된 다중 디스플레이와 컴퓨터를 활용해서 마스터/슬레이브 구조로 구성된 테이블탑 시스템을 구축하였다. 이 분산 테이블탑 시스템은 소프트웨어의 수정 없이 슬레이브 컴퓨터와 모니터를 추가하여 쉽게 확장할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 그리고 이런 확장형 시스템에서 동작하는 인터랙티브 게임의 개발을 쉽게 할 수 있도록 EBITA(Environment for Building Interactive Table Applications) 프레임워크를 개발하였다. EBITA는 적외선 카메라 트랙킹 시스템을 활용하는 탠저블 인터페이스 모듈과 분산 시스템에서의 그래픽 프로그램의 개발을 용이하게 해주는 기능들로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 카메라 기반 탠저블 인터페이스와 EBITA 프레임워크에 대해서 설명한다. 그리고 EBITA를 활용해서 개발한 게임을 소개한다.

IoT technology application has been part of modern people's everyday life. This technology makes people to depend on smart devices. 'Smartphone' is the most typical example. Despite the advantages given by this device, the bad side effects are also notable. This paper presents interactive content on the dependence of smartphone device. The research objective is to make individuals to reduce the use of smartphones by realizing their own problems of smartphone dependency. Research was progressed by analyzing aspects obtained from users participating in the self-developed interactive game contents. As a result of the analysis, approximately 68% of people were aware of the problem through this content. This indicates the potential of using convergence research in interactive contents with other fields furthermore.

본 연구의 목적은 장기간의 상호작용적 비디오 게임이 노인의 인지정보처리에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보는데 있다. 본 연구에 참여할 피험자는 K시 D, J, K, W 노인복지관 노인 남·녀(65-70세) 250명 중 신체활동수준을 측정하여 신체활동이 낮은 수준(낮음: 3200kcal 이하/1주)을 보인 60명이며, 피험자들 모두 사전 동의를 거쳐 자발적으로 본 실험에 참여하였다. 선정된 모든 피험자들은 난수표를 이용하여 무선 할당되어 (1) 상호작용적 비디오게임 집단(20명) (2) 유산소운동(20명) (3) 통제집단(20명)으로 배정하였다. 본 연구의 실험설계는 3(집단)×2(사전사후)에 대해 반복 측정 이원분산분석을 실시했다. 종속변수는 인지기능 척도(주의집중력, 지연 기억력, 단기기억 능력, 즉각 기억력, 언어 유창성, 전두엽 운동기능), ERP 분석에서는 P300의 진폭과 잠재기, 반응시간과 정확률이다. 연구결과에서 인지기능과 ERP 분석에서 운동수행의 반응시간과 반응 정확률 및 진폭과 잠재기에서 상호작용적 비디오게임 집단과 유산소 운동집단은 유의미한 통계적 차이가 없었으나, 상호작용적 비디오게임 집단과 유산소 운동(걷기운동)집단이 통제집단보다 향상된 결과를 보였다. 이러한 연구결과는 인지적 운동인 상호작용적 비디오게임과 같은 유산소운동의 꾸준한 참여는 노인의 인지기능 쇠퇴방지에 좋은 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 여겨진다.

Purpose: This study was to identify the relationship between the game score and muscle strength in order to elucidate whether the obtained score for the dorsiflexor and plantar flexor muscles in the ankle joint using an EMG-based interactive game system can reflect muscle strength as measured conventionally. Methods: Forty adults were enrolled in the present study. They had no congenital deformities, and no neurological or orthopedic disorders in the 6 months prior to the start of the study. The Biodex were used to measure the isokinetic concentric maximal strength of the plantar flexor and dorsiflexor muscles in the ankle joint. EMG electrodes were attached to the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius. Results: (1) There was a positive relationship between the obtained game score by the plantar flexor (sPF) and muscle strength of the plantar flexor (tPF) and dorsiflexor (tDF). In addition, the tPF affected the sPF, but the tDF did not. Thus, the higher the tPF, the higher the sPF. (2) There was no relationship between the obtained game score of dorsiflexor (sDF) and tPF or tDF. In addition, neither the tDF or tPF affected the sDF. Conclusion: The game score had a relationship with muscle strength, which is related to ankle instability and re-impairment. Thus we suggest that this game system can be used to predict the degree of weakness of muscle strength.

The arcade gun has been a popular game controller in the video game market from the 1970s. The arcade gun, which is used partially in game centers and domestic games, recently is utilized as the interface for the interactive system and tangible media. On the other hand, the existing arcade gun has limits on hardware so it is unsuitable for wide screens. In addition, being platform-dependent, it is inapplicable to various types of content as a single module. This study suggests a correction algorithm that establishes an arcade gun system based on an infrared camera to solve those drawbacks and apply to possibly numerous surroundings.

For the first time, the spot the differences (STD) game was employed in the teaching of basic organic chemistry course. Three sets of paired pictures associated with selected topics in organic chemistry were presented to the students and they were required to spot the differences between the two pictures. Based on the students' pre and post self-assessment, the STD game resulted in several positive learning outcomes as indicated in the students' reflective writing, including knowledge recall, deeper understanding of a subject, enhanced analytical skill, motivation and fun-filled learning, learning from peers and self-empowerment in learning. The STD game is a desirable teaching and learning tool, as learning in an entertaining and interactive way is highly sought after in today's classroom, especially to novice students. In the future, the STD game can be modified and implemented to cater the needs of different courses and topics.

본 논문은 동작 기반 게임 플레이 시스템을 위해 사용자 스스로가 제스처를 등록할 수 있는 방법에 대한 것이다. 기존의 동작 기반 게임 플레이 시스템들은 사전에 정의된 제스처 데이터들을 모아 인식기를 만들었다. 하지만 이는 때로 어려운 전문 지식이 필요하거나 다소 어려운 과정들을 필요로 한다. 이러한 복잡한 상황들을 완화하고자 상호작용적으로 제스처 등록이 가능한 전신 스켈레톤 기반의 게임 시스템을 제안한다.
