This study aims to investigate the Learning and fun aspects of dance games by examining their instructive values. Dance Central 2 was analysed with a focus on its educational functions by observing dance moves. Therefore this study looked into the game's educational elements that create learning effects and fun elements that attract continuous and voluntary participation. Analysis was implemented based on the physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects for Learning elements and the aspects of graphics, sound, video, rewards, target-setting, difficulty levels, and control for fun elements. As a result, it was found that the practice and performance modes of Dance Central 2 have elements that can improve players dance skills. Of course, there may be difference in players' participation and effects depending on their goals and objectives. Consequently, the continuous use of the dance game supported by player's dance skills and commitment will improve learning.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motion-based dance game on static and dynamic balance in elderly women. The participants were randomly divided into 2 group, Motion Based dance game group(n=10), control group(n=10). After they were divided into an Motion Based dance game group and a control group the Motion Based dance game group participated in six-week period of time, three times a week, 60 minutes each, and the control group didn't exercise outside of their daily lives. To evaluated the balance ability of exercise, it was evaluated by using Berg Balance Scale(BBS), Functional Reach Test(FRT), Timed Up and Go test(TUG). The data was analysis using a paired t-test and independent t-test to determine the statistical significance. The results of this study between BBS, FRT, TUG and Motion Based dance game group had statistically significant difference rather than control group(p<.05). In conclusion, the Motion based Dance Game showed improvement on the balance ability in the elderly. Regular maintenance of the Dance Game "Dance Central" program for the elderly will assistance improve the balance. Consequently, studies on the development of dance games suitable for the elderly are believed to be necessary.

Interesting and focused learners are attracting more and more interesting and efficient learning methods. Research on game-based learning that converges information and communication technology in accordance with this trend is being attempted. I want to take advantage of the characteristics of the game that enhance the concentration. However, if you play a game, you may get less exercise. Therefore, in this paper, we have designed and implemented a system that improves fitness and improves the performance by using Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) to fuse games and sports.

Recently, systematic research on the brain has been conducted and BCI(Brain -Computer Interface) technology applying electroencephalogram has been actively researched. Especially, serious game technology using BCI device has been the subject of interest. This paper develops a "twosome collaboration dance game," which is a serious game that takes advantage of NeuroSky's SDK(System Development Kit) and helps developing the spirit of team work and sociality based on attention and meditation, unlike existing single player games. We expect that this game will help to visualize brain functions of people and to cure ADHD children and the elderly people with MCI(Mild Cognitive Disorder). It is also expected to play a role of social catalyst to the game culture of the adolescent.

본 논문에서는 댄스를 디지털콘텐츠와 접목시켜 누구나 쉽고 재미있게 즐길 수 있는 체험형 콘텐츠를 개발하고자 한다. 개발된 콘텐츠에서는 마우스나 키보드 등의 정적 입력 인터페이스를 벗어나 체험자의 능동적 참여를 위해 영상처리기술을 통해 PC 카메라로부터 얻은 영상에서 체험자의 모습을 분리하고 댄스 모션이 적용된 3D 모델과 같은 공간에 출력하여 두 모델간의 동작을 비교함으로써 같은 동작을 취하고 있는지를 판단하게 된다. 이때 체험자에게 어떠한 센서나 마커도 부착하지 않고 강건한 환경에서의 체험자 영상만을 추출하기 위한 방법과 댄스 모델과 체험자의 움직임 비교 방법을 새로이 제안하였다.
