Today the lectures are usually practiced in a teacher-led traditional classroom system or a student-led e-learning system. Students passively follow the teacher's lectures in both systems, though. Also due to the advances in 3D Computer Graphics and Game technologies, there are trials to exploit the positive effect of games in learning. The serious games, specifically designed games for an educational goal, or existing games for a special class have been used as lectures. Still these games have a great difficulty in being integrated into the educational system technically and economically. Therefore a new 3D MMORPG based lecturing system is presented in this paper. In our new lecturing system, the characteristics of a 3D MMORPG, achievement, sociality, and immersion, are provided to motivate students to participate actively in a lecture. A teacher and students interact with each other in realtime as 3D characters in a 3D virtual classroom on-line. An ordinary teacher can also easily apply our new system to existing classes since a teacher only needs to specify a slide file to prepare a lecture. For the future work, a user study and the effect of our new lecturing system will be performed.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, many local governments are burdened with the influx of large-scale tourists. As a climate that values Work-Life-Balance has emerged, interest in individual life and satisfaction is rapidly increasing. In addition, due to the popularity of the metaverse field, many people are increasingly interested in related content. In particular, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" sold more than 15 million copies in 2020, and is enjoying exchanges of interior design, fishing, and collecting insects here. In line with this trend, this study introduces the development of online fishing games based on Jeju infrastructure. This paper focuses on implementation and development, and in particular, it introduces differentiated games through character animation optimized for developing a topographic model that maximizes the beauty of Jeju Island's topography based on the Unity 3D engine.

According to KISA, many people play smartphone games. stress relieving, time is the reason to beat. Attempts to combine mobile games and education in the Korean game market are continuing. Studies have shown that using commercial games for education can be effective. Also, researches for activation educational games are increasing. Creating educational games requires a lot of time and money. Due to the nature of mobile games, the service is often terminated without updating. If you are able to acquire a naturally educational part while playing mobile games, you will see the effect of one pair of fun and education, both at once. We analyzed the education factors of the game with 'Real Farm' which is a simulation farm game. We focused on analyzing information acquisition and utilization part through indirect experience which is characteristic of simulation and examined educational factors based on design elements of educational game. This can signal the positive aspects of the game and the educational content of existing games. If you use smartphones as a pedagogy, you can expect a positive perception of games and an increase in the average life expectancy of mobile games.

온라인 게임 서비스를 위해 캐릭터 외형 페인팅를 하기 위해서는 3D 인터렉티브 텍스쳐 페인팅를 사용한다. 3D 인터렉티브 텍스쳐 페인팅은 3차원 공간상에서 3D 모델 데이터의 표면에 직접 브러쉬를 이용하여 페인팅 하는 것을 말한다. 3D 인터렉티브 텍스쳐 페인팅을 구현하기 위해서는 매개변수화와 브러쉬 드로잉이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 3D 공간상에서 평균값좌표를 이용하여 3D 모델의 표면 메쉬상에 텍스쳐 페인팅을 수행하는 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 기존 연구가 가지고 있는 문제점은 반복적인 매개변수화의 과정과 그로 인한 해상도의 큰 변화이다. 이러한 반복적인 매개변수화 과정을 피하기 위하여 주어진 메쉬에 한 번의 전역적 매개변수화를 적용시키고, 3차원상의 메쉬에 직접적으로 페인팅 할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공하였다. 결과적으로 2차원으로의 텍스쳐 수정 과정 및 렌더링 과정을 반복적으로 적용할 필요가 없게 되어 3차원 모델러에게는 매우 효율적인 방법을 제공할 수 있다.

Currently most of the educational content to learners to provide more learning opportunities despite the inevitable in terms of its content and format have not only due to the limitations and problems, this alternative to the creation of a new generation of educational content, research is required urgently. In this paper, G-learning content, online games and through the analysis of the type and characteristics is to overcome this problem.

본 논문에서는 대표적인 3차원 일인칭 액션 게임(first-person action game)인 Unreal Tournament 게임과 이것에 기초한 Gamebots시스템을 소개하고, 이러한 환경에서 효과적으로 동작하는 지능형 NPC인 KGBot의 설계와 구현에 대해 설명한다. KGBot는 Gamebots시스템에서 하나의 보트 클라이언트(bot client)로 동작하면서 지형이 복잡한 3차원 가상환경 안에서 적들에 대항해 아군과 연합하여 특정 목표 지점(domination point)들을 찾아 점령하는 자율 NPC이다. KGBot는 BDI기반의 범용 에이전트 구조인 UM-PRS를 제어엔진으로 채용하고 있으며, 복잡한 행위들을 효과적으로 구현하기 위해 계충화된 지식베이스를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 특히 제한적인 센서정보와 이동점(waypoint)에 기초하여 자신이 놓여진 월드의 전체지도를 작성하고 임의의 목적지까지 효율적인 이동경로를 계획할 수 있는 KGBot의 행위의 구현과 실험에 대해 설명한다.

The market of digital avatar with internet and digital technology is increasing rapidly. The users want to express any free-formed motion of their avatars in the cyber space. The user s motion capturing method as the avatar's motion can express any free-formed motion of the avatar in real-time but the methods are expensive and inconvenient. In this paper, we proposed a new method of expressing any free-formed motion of the avatar in real-time. The proposed method is an algorithm for real-time control of a 3D avatar in symmetry-formed free motion. Specially, the algorithm aims at the motion control of a 3D avatar for online dancing games. The proposed algorithm uses the skeleton character model and controls any one of two hands of the character model by a joystick with two sticks. In the symmetry-formed motion, the position and orientation of one hand can determine the position and orientation of the other hand. And the position and orientation of a hand as an end-effector can determine the pose of the arm by Inverse Kinematics. So the algorithm can control the symmetry-formed free motions of two arms by one joystick with two sticks. In the dance game, the algorithm controls the arm motion by the joystick and the other motion by the motion captured DB.

In this era of convergence, which is characterized by the integration and combination of technology and industries, broadcasting and communications, offline and online, and devices and services, the content industry is also experiencing rapid changes including inter-genre exchange, the creation of new industries, and customized demand. Specifically, IT-based digital content industries such as the online game, e-book, mobile contents and web portal industries are no longer restricted to the boundaries of video, music and games but are being expanded into the realms of education, medicine, fashion and sports thanks to CT innovation of 3D, CG, AR/VR, VFX, etc. As such, various countries have come to recognize the convergent content industry as a new growth engine that will pick up where the IT industry left off, and are forming policies for its development accordingly. This research aims to optimize the system of content taxonomy which is currently genre-focused and unable to support technological development and convergence, and to discover and select star contents to be rigorously developed with governmental support. In this paper, 20 star contents in 8 areas were selected, and these are expected to create tremendous cultural and economic value through ongoing technological and industrial development.

If game images use colors improper for certain ages, the characteristics of games disappear, and the efficiency of image expression drops. thus a study in color is very important. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research on this subject. In this study, we investigated the difference of color of game images according to users. User group is divided into all users and users over 18 years old. Among the rank of games,10 each from games for all ages and games for non-teen-rated are selected, and the game-playing images are taken as snapshots to have 100 each images each, A total of 2000 images were extracted and the mean values of RGB and HSB of each game were obtained and independent sample t test was performed. The results showed that the RGB color values between the two users were significantly significant. In the future, it is expected that it will be helpful in color selection when developing psychotherapy games and emotional games using color psychology. Furthermore, we will use color image scales to express colors as adjectives, analyze colors in a variety of ways, and investigate the difference in color of game images in each country.
