As non-face-to-face culture melts into people's daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in the metaverse has also increased significantly. There are several types of metaverse depending on the purpose of applications. With this recent explosive interest in the metaverse platform and demanding applications on it, there have been various contents for metaverse in progress in industries. However, developing such contents has many real problems since there is no valuable guidelines for metaverse contents development in industry. In this study, we aim to propose a development guideline that developers can refer to for game-type metaverse content by comparative analysis of existing contents among various metaverse types. In the development guideline, we derive common characteristic components of representative features for game-type metaverse platforms and give explanations on developing strategies. Such proposed development guidelines are verified by game-type metaverse field experts by survey.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the significance of heterogeneity in multi-player VR games. Heterogeneity is a concept of multi-player mode that a game uses the immersive VR and non-immersive system at the same time. As immersive VR device has become more commercial, multi-player VR games try to use heterogeneity strategically. is the best example to explain a new phenomenon, so this paper analyses by using a revised and reinforced MDA framework. As a result, we can find heterogeneity concept not only in the separation of player's interface, but also in the division of play patterns and experiences within a game itself.

This study aimed to examine the influences of an experience of purchasing random items and gambling behaviors among adolescents in South Korea. This study performed a series of binominal logistic regression analyses by using a sample of 17,520 adolescents from the 2018 Survey on Youth Gambling Problems. The findings are a follows. First, 49.9% of the adolescents had experience in buying random items. Second, an experience of buying random items among adolescents who have experienced betting games are related to problem gambling(OR=1.48, p<.001). Third, an experience of buying random items among adolescents who have no experienced in betting games are related to intention to participate in legalized gambling(OR=1.89, p<.001). Fourth, there were no gender differences in the influence of an experience of purchasing random items on gambling behaviors. Based on the findings, implications for addressing gambling problems among adolescents were discussed.

This study investigates user experiences of reward-based mini-games, gamified elements within the domestic mobile commerce sector. Recently, gamification marketing strategies have been actively employed in mobile commerce services to attract customers, increase dwell time, and enhance revisit rates. Conducting research on user experiences of gamified elements, we quantified evaluations of how users perceive these elements within mobile commerce. Using enjoyment, immersion, rewards, value, and utility as criteria, we designed a questionnaire and conducted surveys, followed by 1:1 in-depth interviews with users aged 20 to 40. The experimental results highlight the need for strategies to increase user satisfaction in terms of enjoyment and immersion, as well as the necessity to enhance user experiences related to predictable reward systems and product exploration to facilitate product purchases. It is hoped that this study will provide insights for companies seeking to incorporate gamified elements into their marketing strategies and improve user experiences.

In this paper, we propose a new paradigm of augmented reality board game environment and a portable game assistant(PGA) which can help gamers with strategy information. Previous AR board games consist of a private and public space. The public space provides rules of the game and shows the scene of game. And the gamers control game pieces in the public space. The previous games use the RFIDs for recognizing positions of the pieces, and the VR/AR environment for providing the scene of the game. However the RFIDs are expansive, and the VR/AR environment is inconvenient because it uses additional devices: the DataGlove, the digital pen, and the HMD. The proposed system recognizes positions of real pieces using the computer vision technique, and uses a monitor to provide dynamic effects. In the private space, previous systems provide entire screen of game and position of specific pieces, but cannot be controled the pieces by gamers. Therefore, in this system, we provide PGA that helps the user to plan of the strategy individually using universally mobile. The PGA helps to plan the strategy in the individual area, and to play easily in the side of the user's convenience.

항공기의 비행경로 시각화는 저고도 임무나 지형고도에 대한 위협을 해소하기 위하여 널리 사용되는 시스템이다. 하지만, 시스템을 구성하기 위하여 GPS와 방대한 지리정보를 구축해야하는 제약으로 인하여 게임 등의 저가형 시스템에 사용되기에는 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 비행경로를 경제적으로 시각화하기 위한 오픈소스 기반의 DMM(Digital Moving Map) 시스템을 제한한다. 먼저 X-Plane에서 UDP를 통하여 비행정보를 전달받아 구글어스에서 시연 및 지형고도 정보를 DMM 시스템에 전달한다. DMM 시스템에서는 비행체의 고도와 현 위치의 지형고도를 매핑하여 ArcGIS의 MapServer를 통해 가져온 지도 정보상에 비행경로를 시각화한다. 시간간격에 다른 지형고도와 비행체의 고도 비교를 위하여 별도의 모니터링 화면을 제공한다. 본 논문의 결과물은 게임 및 연구 등의 목적으로 비행경로를 시각화하는 분야에 경제적인 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The U-Healthcare era has evolved with the development of the Internet of things (IoT) in the early stages of being connected as a society. Already, many changes such as increased well-being and the extension of human life are becoming evident across cultures. Korea entered the growing group of aging societies in 2017, and its silver industry is expected to grow rapidly by adopting the IoT of a super-connected society. In particular, the senior shift phenomenon has resulted in increased interest in the promotion of the health and well-being of the emergent silver generation which, unlike the existing silver generation, is highly active and wields great economic power. This study conducted in-depth interviews to investigate the characteristics of the new silver generation, and to develop the design for a wearable serious game that intends to boost the interest of the elderly in exercise and fitness activities according to their personalized physical training regimes as prescribed by the U-Hospital service. The usage scenario of this wearable serious game for the 'U-silver generation' is derived from social necessity. Medical professionals can utilize this technology to conduct health examinations and to monitor the rehabilitation of senior patients. The elderly can also use this tool to request checkups or to interface with their healthcare providers. The wearable serious game is further aimed at mitigating concerns about the deterioration of the physical functions of the silver generation by applying personalized exercise prescriptions. The present investigation revealed that it is necessary to merge the on / off line community activities to meet the silver generation's daily needs for connection and friendship. Further, the sustainability of the serious game must be enhanced through the inculcation of a sense of accomplishment as a player rises through the levels of the game. The proposed wearable serious game is designed specifically for the silver generation that is inexperienced in using digital devices: simple game rules are applied to a familiar interface grounded on the gourmet travels preferred by the target players to increase usability.
