AI(Artificial Intelligence) refers to the area of computer engineering and IT technology that focuses on the methodology and creation of intelligent agents. The Othello game is often produced with AI, since it is played with relatively simple rules on a board and on a limited space of 8 rows and 8 columns. Previous algorithms take longer time than desirable and often fail to face new circumstances, as they search for all the possible cases and rules. In order to solve this crucial weakness, we propose that a CBR algorithm be applied to Orthello. Case-Based Reasoning(CBR), is the process of solving new problems based on the solutions of the past similar problems. We can apply this process to Othello and expedite the process of computer reasoning for a solution to new cases based on the data from accumulated past cases. Then, these new solutions are dynamically added to the set of past cases so that it becomes harder for players(users) to be able to read the pattern. The proposed system in which a CBR algorithm is applied to the Othello game makes the computation process faster and the game harder to play.

This study mainly focused on horror movies and horror games. Camera angles of horror movies and compositions of horror games are main factors that can cause fear in people's minds. Through analyzing four kinds of factors, including sensual, expectant, restrictive and executive fear elements, in horror games, and combining with the patterns of camera angles and film techniques that Alfred Hitchcock applied in his horror movies, this research investigated certain types of compositions and concluded ones that were more effective on growing fear in players' minds and enhancing their involvement. In conclusion, only the combination of factors in horror-game compositions, like diagonal composition, dual-diagonal composition and inverse triangle-line composition, with visual elements enables player's growing sense of fear and the increase in involvement. Therefore, future works should apply more of these fear-inducing compositions.

Education tools expressed in texts and images turned into the edutainment such as a education and playing experience. Augmented reality(AR) technology in the field of edutainment was possible to have an amused-education by maximizing experiences. Recently, it is also served in a variety of mobile applications which exploit AR technology. The paper is to describe on the practical measures for the experience of education through designing and implementing edutainment contents. The implementation makes use of a engine 'Vuforia', and a platform 'Unity 3D'.

Thanks to the 4th Industrial Revolution, interest in virtual reality increased and many improvements of VR devices were made. Among the VR devices, the simulator plays an important role in improving the real feeling of virtual presence. In this paper, we analyze the case of existing simulator and control method for efficient interlocking of motion simulator and VR contents, and classify motion control elements in VR contents into four types. Based on this preliminary study, this paper proposes a modular motion control method to help the contents and simulator work more effectively in the production of VR contents.

This paper is the result of research on how to represent 'Landscape' of Oriental painting in 3D space within virtual reality. Based on the similarities between the characteristics of Oriental painting and virtual reality put together three features of painting and put them into the digital content. For the expression of painting style, we produced texture, represented spaces and shadows as a content development environment, and the view point with helper storytelling.

The latest development of the Korean drama production industry has been accompanied by the steep rise in the number of players and the contraction of the advertizing market, which have combined to intensify the competition severely. Then, China happened. Entertainment agencies' logical strategic choice to maximize production revenue potential was to secure A-list actors who can sell, pushing up their prices, that process has continued to even compromise the health of the production industry as well as the agencies' financial integrity. The drama production industry, including entertainment agencies, should shift the strategic focus from simple production revenue generation to profit maximization through diversifying revenue sources like securing IP rights.

최근 VR은 다양한 장르에 콘텐츠를 융합함으로써 사용자에게 공간의 제약 없이 현장감 제공이 가능해짐에 따라 관심을 받기 시작했다. 또한 실감 콘텐츠 기술 확보가 가능해짐에 따라 다양한 사용자 체험형 콘텐츠 개발도 가능해지고 있다. 하지만 국내에서 VR산업은 게임분야를 제외하고 활용정도가 낮다. 이에 본 논문에서는 실감형 가상 여행 콘텐츠를 제작하여 HMD에 디스플레이하는 방법을 제안 및 구현한다. 360도 영상과 VR로 표출했기 때문에 개인방송 여행 콘텐츠에서 사용자에게 현지에서 직접 경험하는 듯한 몰입감과 현장감을 제공하고, 사용자 인터페이스를 접목하여 양방향 통신이 가능하도록 설계하여 콘텐츠를 체험하는데 편리성을 극대화하였다.

Interest in Chinese edutainment contents product has been increasing with the importance of Chinese Education Recently, empirical education with some fun activities is in the limelight breaking the traditional passive learning. Due to a such social necessity, we develop web-based Chinese Edutainment Contents for children, utilizing multimedia functions. Especially since writing Education is very important in learning chinese characters, we also developed a writing recognition function which checks the order of making strokes in writing Chinese character. Different from the existing outline area-based writing system, it determines if the character is well-written comparing to the prestored reference points in each Chinese characters, after recognizing the order of strokes and extracting peculiar points.

With the development of realistic content technology and related infrastructure, interest in the use of virtual reality content is growing. Accordingly, in the field of safety education, more and more cases of producing virtual reality-based safety education (VR safety education) contents such as experiencing disaster situations realistically by supplementing the shortcomings of existing lecture-style education. This study looked at the characteristics and effects of VR safety education compared to the existing safety education, and analyzed 104 VR safety education contents produced and disclosed to date into nine classifications based on content and form. Based on the degree of relevance between items and the two axes of 'interactionability' and 'vividness of the environment', VR safety education contents could be categorized into three types: tangible lecture type, simulation type, and game type. Through this study, we hope to contribute to the planning and production of quality VR safety education contents by considering the purpose of safety education and the characteristics of types with the expected effects.

The trend in the domestic MMORPG online game market is on decline because of the change in customers attitude and the advent of mobile or foreign games. The underlying cause of depressed domestic game market is that it has been failing to provide quality service arising from not revising existing game design. For this reason, this paper sets out to gather game users' opinions and to analyze successful domestic and foreign games comparatively to approve the importance and necessity of scenario development and to solve current problems in the MMORPG market. As one solution, this paper proposes a new design method, TIME FLOW scenario technique. This technique aims to establish a system in which story and environment change as time progresses and thus can provide different contents to its users over time. It is expected to enable a new frame for game design environment and to restructure education environment for human resource cultivation.
