TOLED(Transparent, Organic Light Emitting Diodes) based edutainment system has been studied to solve the actual feeling training and educational experience problem of e-learning. However, edutainment system using TOLED has a problem for the non-detection of multi marker array and rotate marker array, and it has problem for the dissonance phenomena caused by Illumination Environment between real world and virtual object. It also has a do not provide services through a variety of devices problem. Therefore, in this paper, we designed a system that provides a realistic actual feeling edutainment contents by recognizes the marker array rotation and a plurality of marker arrangement via an improved marker detection technique. And to unify the real space and virtual space of the lighting environment through a nested block layer.

Tabletop display can take the benefits of the interactive device due to its possible user friendly input and display facilities simultaneously. Using this device, immersive edutainment content is effectively implemented with the convenient interactive interface. So considering this usefulness, tabletop display can be a very efficient device for constructing the edutainment system. In this paper, we describe a digitalized cooking edutainment contents based on the tabletop display interface. Enjoying our contents, we use the intuitive touch gestures for handling a variety of cooking actions. In the education effects such as the immersive strengthening and co-operation, the proposed system is more efficient interface than any other existing system. We implement the contents with the tabletop display and make sure about the efficiency of our proposed system. In the future, we will add more gestures to enhance the applicability of the intuitive interactive interface.

근래 주목받는 키워드인 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous), UCC(User Created Contents) 등은 기술적 발달과 함께한 사람들의 행동 양식 변화를 잘 반영하고 있다. 기술적인 측면에서 모바일 환경으로의 진화는 사람들에게 시공간적 제약을 없애주었으며, '호모 루덴스'로 표현된 유희적 인간의 개념은 현대인의 행동 양식을 잘 표현했다. 이중 지상파 이동 멀티미디어 방송(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, DMB)은 방송에 있어서 시공간적 제약을 없앤 대표적인 사례이며, 'EDUTAINMENT(에듀테인먼트)'는 교육에 유희를 결합한 실례라고 하겠다. 특히 DMB는 정보와 유희의 욕구를 기본적으로 충족시킬 수 있는 방송이라는 매체를 이용한다는 점에서 에듀테인먼트의 기술적 기반이 될 수 있으며, 이를 통해 저 연령의 학습자에게 유희와 교육을 동시에 제공함으로써, 학습효과를 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 DMB 시스템을 위한 유아 대상의 에듀테인먼트 어플리케이션을 설계하고, 구현한다. 이 어플리케이션을 위해 스토리텔링, 음악과 악기 선택 시스템, 타임라인 및 자유표면 게임 시스템 등 DMB 시스템에 적절하며, 에듀테인먼트의 조건을 충족하는 몇 가지 방법론을 제안하여 방송을 통해 콘텐츠와 대상자가 서로 상호작용 할 수 있도록 한다. 이를 위해서는 기존 방송의 음성, 영상 서비스를 넘어 상호작용의 필수적인 요소라고 할 수 있는 데이터 서비스를 요구하며, 이는 MPEG-4 Part 11: BIFS(Binary Format for Scenes) 기술을 기반으로 그 구현에는 VRML에 기초한 BT(BIFS Text) 언어를 사용한다.

정보통신 기술의 발전으로 교육 패러다임이 스마트 디바이스를 이용하는 스마트 러닝으로 변화하고 있다. 특히 에듀테인먼트 시스템들은 암묵적 지식습득률 향상을 위하여 증강현실 기술을 도입한 다양한 시스템들이 도입되고 있다. 그러나 이와 같이 증강현실을 이용한 시스템들은 실환경의 조명과 가상환경의 조명환경의 부조화로 인하여 영상 합성시 실감성이 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 증강 객체, 웹캠을 통해 입력된 영상, 가상의 배경 영역으로 구성된 단일 레이어를 3차원 조명환경 정보를 포함한 블록 레이어로 변환하고 변환된 블록 레이어를 합성하는 에듀테인먼트를 위한 증강현실 시스템을 설계한다.

사물에 센서를 부착해 실시간으로 데이터를 인터넷으로 연결하는 사물인터넷 시대가 대두되고 고성능의 스마트 기기가 등장함에 따라 현대 교육 시스템에도 큰 영향을 주었다. 특히 오락과 학습이 적절한 조화를 이루는 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠는 학습자들의 몰입(flow)과 상호작용(interaction)을 통해 흥미를 유발시킨다. 그러나 스마트교육 콘텐츠는 웹을 기반으로 한 콘텐츠가 대다수이며, 어플리케이션 역시 교육의 질 대비 유료서비스를 제공하는 것이 대부분이고 내용이 다소 부재하다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Unity3D와 뷰포리아사의 SDK를 활용하여 증강현실의 장점을 살리고, 학습자들이 흥미를 잃지 않고 쉽게 학습할 수 있는 에듀테인먼트 콘텐츠 제작방법을 제안한다.

One of drawbacks of the current edutainment game system is that its frame is fixed with limited contents. Under the condition of the above game structures, nobody can select one's interesting contents to increase educational efficiency easily. To overcome such a problem, we will propose the system named UCG(User Combinative Game) based on Web 2.0 in which users can make a choice among various educational contents and select game frames. The structure of the UCG system and its process are shown in this paper.

With the development of information and communication technology, various methods have been tried to provide learners with a fun educational environment through fun and interest. It is a good example to utilize technologies such as games and robots in education for edutainment and game-based learning. In this study, we propose an intelligent rhythm education system using user data collection and analysis for humanoid robot rhythm generation. To do this, the user selects music and inputs rhythm information according to the selected music. The robot utilization data of this user extracts patterns through collection and analysis. Patterns are based on frequency, and FFT similarity comparison method is applied when past data is insufficient. The proposed method is validated through experiments of kindergarten children.

As the existing edutainment contents for children are mostly comprised of educational tools which unilaterally induce educatees to passively respond to them, the content-creating methodologies in terms of which active and voluntary learning is made possible is urgently needed. In this paper, we present the implementation of the tangible 'electronic dice' interface as an interactive tool for behavior-based edutainment contents, and propose a methodology for developing edutainment contents for children by utilizing the recognition technique of hand movement based on depth-image information. Also proposed in the paper are an authoring and management tool of learning quizzes that allows educators to set up and manage their learning courseware, and a log analysis system of learning achievement for real-time monitoring of educational progress. The behavior-based tangible interface and edutainment contents that we propose provide the easy-to-operate interaction with a real object, which augments educatees' interest in learning, thus leading to their active and voluntary attitude toward learning. Furthermore, The authoring and management tool and log analysis system allow us to construct learning programs by children's achievement level and to monitor in real-time the learning development of children educatees by understanding the situation and behavior of their learning development from the analytic results obtained by observing the processes of educatees' solving problems for themselves, and utilizing them for evaluation materials for lesson plans.

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.

An edutainment system aims to help learners to recognize problems effectively, grasp and classify important information needed to solve the problems and convey the contents of what they have learned. Edutainment contents can be usefully applied to education and training in the both scientific and industrial areas. Our present work proposes an edutainment system that can be applied to a drug discovery process including virtual screening by using intuitive multi-modal interfaces. In this system, a stereoscopic monitor is used to make three-dimensional (3D) macro-molecular images, with supporting multi-modal interfaces to manipulate 3D models of molecular structures effectively. In this paper, our system can easily solve a docking simulation function, which is one of important virtual drug screening methods, by applying gaming factors. The level-up concept is implemented to realize a bio-game approach, in which the gaming factor depends on number of objects and users. The quality of the proposed system is evaluated with performance comparison in terms of a finishing time of a drug docking process to screen new inhibitors against target proteins of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in an e-drug discovery process.
