본 논문에서는 서로 다른 곳에 구축되어 있는 이기종 가상환경을 네트워크로 연동하고 이러한 환경에서 3D 게임을 지원하기 위한 시스템 설계 및 구현 결과를 제시한다. 각각의 가상환경은 수평-수직-정방형 디스플레이 장비 및 마그네틱-하이브리드 방식의 트랙킹 장비를 이용하여 구축되었다. 제안 시스템에서는 서로 다른 형태의 디스플레이, 트래킹 및 인터랙션 도구로 이루어진 개별 가상환경을 연동함으로써 발생하는 데이터 간의 이질성을 해결하기 위한 뷰 동기화, 인터랙션 동기화 기법 및 사용자 인식 모듈을 제공한다. 또한 별도의 컨트롤 서버를 구축하여 개별 노드간의 동기화를 제공하고 공유 데이터를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 환경 및 시스템에서 "Alice in Virtual World" 라는 1 인칭 슈팅 게임을 수행하여 그 활용 가능성을 입증하였다.

Recently, many researches about making more comfortable input device based on gaze detection technology have been done in human computer interface. However, the system cost becomes high due to the complicated hardware and there is difficulty to use the gaze detection system due to the complicated user calibration procedure. In this paper, we propose a new gaze detection method based on the 2D analysis and a simple user calibration. Our method used a small USB (Universal Serial Bus) camera attached on a HMD (Head-Mounted Display), hot-mirror and IR (Infra-Red) light illuminator. Because the HMD is moved according to user's facial movement, we can implement the gaze detection system of which performance is not affected by facial movement. In addition, we apply our gaze detection system to 3D first person shooting game. From that, the gaze direction of game character is controlled by our gaze detection method and it can target the enemy character and shoot, which can increase the immersion and interest of game. Experimental results showed that the game and gaze detection system could be operated at real-time speed in one desktop computer and we could obtain the gaze detection accuracy of 0.88 degrees. In addition, we could know our gaze detection technology could replace the conventional mouse in the 3D first person shooting game.

A battle royale game is a multiplayer video game genre that blends the survival and exploration with last-man-standing gameplay. The genre has been hot in recent years and the 'Player Unknown's Battleground' produced by Korean enterprise PUBG had been the hottest during 2017 and the first half of 2018. However, a similar battle royale game 'Fortnite' became the game of the year in 2018 and the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the predominance only in Korea and China. In this paper, we investigate the game structure of those two games on combat, survival, farming and charging elements, We also conduct a user survey on what might be the weak point of the Player Unknown's Battleground and why they choose Fornite among users played both but currently play Fortnite. The result shows that the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the advantage on battle elements but creative charging policy and the efficient survival elements are the reasons of choosing Fortnite between the two.

1인칭 슈팅 게임(FPS) 장르는 오래 전부터 우리 게이머들의 사랑을 받아 왔다. 특히 2016년에는 오버워치가 그리고 2017년에는 아직 정식 출시도 하지 않은 배틀그라운드가 게임 시장에서 돌풍을 일으켜 현재 PC방 점유율에서 2, 3위를 기록하고 있다. 같은 FPS 라도 실은 우리 게이머에게 가장 익숙한 밀리터리 형 FPS에 비해 오버워치와 배틀그라운드는 서로 다른 형식을 갖고 있으며 이에 따라 전투의 방식과 게임의 목표, 무기 및 스킬의 활용도에서 여러 가지 차별성을 보이고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 전통적 밀리터리 형 게임으로 10년 역사를 가진 아바(A.V.A.) 온라인 게임을 선정하고 이것과 오버워치, 배틀그라운드 3자 간 전투 방식과 무기, 스킬 등의 차이를 비교 분석하여 성공적인 FPS 게임 흥행의 이유를 밝혀 보고자 하였다.

In this paper, the weak point of AOS jenre online game which occupies the majority of Korea game market of 2014 year is analyzed and to solve the problem, the enhanced design and implementation content is introduced. The proposed game is based on the custom AOS jenre format but has the TPS view and nontargeting format to enhance the action feel. To enhance the game quality, graphics, animation, effect and sound resources are organized. Game server is implemented by multithread of IOCP model to support many clients. The technical issue and design method of client and server are described.

With the recent introduction of HMD devices, there is a growing interest in simulator games that are difficult to experience directly like a FPS, racing game. However, because these gaming require a large volume consol and a additive user manipulating devices for the more reality experience, most of these games are very expensive. Therefore, we propose the Arduino Air Mouse for a sniper simulator game, which maximizes realism and can be enjoyed with small volume and low cost devices. The implemented Arduino Air Mouse uses an acceleration sensor and gyro sensor. Specially, after this device was tested in the a sniper simulator game that is applied the ballistics in the Unity3D environment, the implemented game showed more reality.

Promotion and marketing, which are essential to lower the investment risk and maximize commercial profit in the video game market. Game developers and publishers set up public relations strategies to encourage potential consumers' needs. Considering characteristics of video game, the trailer, which is the animated image advertisement material, could occupy a key position in its promotion and marketing plan. Cinematic spectacles and attractive narratives are essential ingredients for game trailers, which are usually produced in 3D animation. Dead Island is an open world first person shooters (FPS) game released in 2011. When launched, it grabbed a great attention with a trailer, awarded the Golden Lion Prize for the best internet film at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The game was a commercial success and several spin-offs were producted. In 2014, its publisher, Deep Silver showed the official trailer of Dead Island 2 at Electronic Entertainment Expo, the world's largest game show. Dead Island 2 was scheduled to be released in 2016, but has been now delayed until 2018. This study compares and analyzes two trailers of Dead Island 1 and Dead Island 2. We examine the narrative structure of the trailer for the sequel promotion of a successful game. The differences between the two could be useful for building a promotion strategy of other game series.

This Study has limited our scope to the study of satisfaction factor. Due to the extensiveness of fun factors of games. We had identified satisfaction factors through investigating various theories based on funology. Then, we have directly applied the satisfaction factors to games in order to define the satisfaction factors of online FPS game. Then, we have applied the satisfaction factors on to four online games, at the first phase of the study. We interviewed a group of online FPS game experts to identify the constituent elements of the factors and concluded the second phase of our investigation based on the results from the first and second phases, we have conducted a survey to verify the hypothesis. We have verified the reciprocal relationship between the satisfaction factors and game popularity by conducting a multiple regression analysis on the survey results. To conclude, there is a correlation between online FPS games and the satisfaction factors; the satisfaction factors cause the users to be absorbed into the game and to enjoy it for a long period of time.
