Game players showed differences in their favorite genres according to gender and fun factors in games. Women prefer RPG, while men prefer RPG, FPS, and simulation. In addition, there was a difference in the type of communication in the game according to gender. Women showed SNS chat, and men preferred party play. People who chat regularly tend to communicate with others while playing games. The smaller the age, the more tendency to communicate with others. Also, 54% of the respondents said they do not chat while playing games. The reason for this is that they have experienced insult or discomfort through chats during the game.

오늘날 인터넷은 모든 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나 일상생활의 일부분이 된 인터넷 상에서 인터넷 윤리의식은 부족한 상태에 놓여있다. 특히 성장기에 있는 청소년들 사이에서 익명성이 보장되는 점을 악용하여, 악플이나 무분별한 욕의 사용 등 사이버 폭력으로 이어져 여러 사회 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 예방하기 위해 많은 홍보와 공익광고 등이 진행되고 있으나, 그 기대 효과는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 청소년들이 많이 이용하는 fps온라인 게임에 적용할 언어 변환 프로세스를 제안한다. 제안된 언어 변환 프로세스를 적용하면 악플이나 무분별한 욕의 사용으로 인한 사이버 폭력이 줄어들 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this research is to provide the rationality of placement of game objects using the space analysis for game map so that the game designers can find out the proper position for each object in the map. The significance of this research is beyond the limitations of the existing research using Space Syntax theory is confined to the analysis of the behavior of players in the map, this research suggest the method of the efficient placement of game objects in level design step. This paper as the worth of the industry is expected to be able to reduce the repetitive tasks that may occur during game level design steps. Through this, it is also expected by reducing game development period and development costs in accordance with the reasonable placement of game objects.

In this paper, we propose the method of manipulating the gaze direction of 3D FPS game's character by using eye gaze detection from the successive images captured by USB camera, which is attached beneath HMB. The proposed method is composed of 3 parts. At first, we detect user's pupil center by real-time image processing algorithm from the successive input images. In the second part of calibration, when the user gaze on the monitor plane, the geometric relationship between the gazing position of monitor and the detected position of pupil center is determined. In the last part, the final gaze position on the HMD monitor is tracked and the 3D view in game is controlled by the gaze position based on the calibration information. Experimental results show that our method can be used for the handicapped game player who cannot use his(or her) hand. Also, it can Increase the interest and the immersion by synchronizing the gaze direction of game player and the view direction of game character.

적절한 촉각자극과 결합된 효과음은 실감성을 향상시킨다고 알려져 있다. 예를 들어, 영화나 게임의 총소리 효과음에 진동자극이 결합되면 훨씬 몰입감이 증진된다. 영화의 경우, 미디어 파일 내에 진동효과 관련한 정보를 부가하는 연구가 진행되기도 하였으나 대중화되지는 못했다. 게임의 경우, 진동을 유발시키도록 프로그래밍하는 방식을 사용하기도 한다. 하지만 진동을 고려하여 개발하는 게임은 전체 10% 미만일 정도로 일반화되어 있지 않다. 따라서 효과음향을 실시간으로 감지하여 진동을 발생시키는 시스템이 바람직하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템에서 특정 효과음을 실시간으로 감지하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘에서는 감지하고자 하는 효과음의 주파수 분포를 미리 분석해서 저장해 놓는다. 입력되는 효과음에 대해 실시간으로 주파수를 분석하여 저장된 값과의 차이를 비교하여 특정 효과음을 감지하게 된다. 실시간 주파수 분포에는 sliding fast Fourier transform (SFFT)를 사용한다. 이는 특정 효과음의 시작순간을 명확히 알 수 없기 때문이다. 제안 알고리즘을 First Person Shooting (FPS) 게임에 적용하여 성능분석을 하였다. 소음이 없을 경우, 감지율은 $80{\sim}90%$였으나, 소음 정도가 커질수록 감지율이 선형적으로 반비례하였다. 또한 감지에 걸리는 시간은 효과음 발생순간부터 0.45초 이내였다.

A terrain is an essential element for constructing a virtual world in which game characters and objects make various interactions with one another. Creating a terrain requires a great deal of time and repetitive editing processes. This paper presents a 3D terrain reconstruction system to create 3D terrain in virtual space based on real terrain data. In this system, it converts the coordinate system of the height maps which are generated from a stereo camera and a laser scanner from global GPS into 3D world using the x and z axis vectors of the global GPS coordinate system. It calculates the movement vectors and the rotation matrices frame by frame. Terrain meshes are dynamically generated and rendered in the virtual areas which are represented in an undirected graph. The rendering meshes are exactly created and updated by correcting terrain data errors. In our experiments, the FPS of the system was regularly checked until the terrain was reconstructed by our system, and the visualization quality of the terrain was reviewed. As a result, our system shows that it has 3 times higher FPS than other terrain management systems with Quadtree for small area, improves 40% than others for large area. The visualization of terrain data maintains the same shape as the contour of real terrain. This system could be used for the terrain system of realtime 3D games to generate terrain on real time, and for the terrain design work of CG Movies.

Unreal Engine 5의 Level Streaming 기능은 플레이어가 플레이 도중 메모리에 Map을 로드/언 로드하는 등의 작업을 처리하는 기능이다. 이때 Level Streaming은 커다란 Map의 당장 필요한 부분에만 메모리에 로드하고, 렌더링하여 특히 Seamless Open world 장르에서 많이 사용된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식은 이 Level Streaming 기능을 이용하여 현재 개발 진행 중인 Rogue-Like 장르 게임에서 비동기 방식의 로딩 화면과 Stage 전환을 통해 좀 더 부드러운, 즉 더 높은 Frames per Second(fps)를 플레이어에게 제공하기 위한 새로운 스테이지 시스템의 구현방식을 연구한다.

In this paper, we propose a boundary based marker binary coding method for augmented reality games, which enables the marker-area to be binary coded well in any lighting environments. First, it detects the boundary after transforming an original marker image to a gray scale image, and it executes 4 way pixel extensions for all boundary pixels in order to make the boundary to closed area. Next, for all boundary pixels it compares the brightness of right and left ones of each pixel and allocates black for the lower side and white for the higher side by filling inside area thru the seeded region growing. Experimental results showed that our proposed method produces a good binary marker image recognizable in various light environments. In addition, it showed the possibility of real-time calculation by considering the result of operation speed which is 51 fps for VGA image.

In this paper, we present a real-time hand pose recognition method to provide an intuitive user interface through hand poses or movements without a keyboard and a mouse. For this, the areas of right and left hands are segmented from the depth camera image, and noise removal is performed. Then, the rotation angle and the centroid point of each hand area are calculated. Subsequently, a circle is expanded at regular intervals from a centroid point of the hand to detect joint points and end points of the finger by obtaining the midway points of the hand boundary crossing. Lastly, the matching between the hand information calculated previously and the hand model of previous frame is performed, and the hand model is recognized to update the hand model for the next frame. This method enables users to predict the hidden fingers through the hand model information of the previous frame using temporal coherence in consecutive frames. As a result of the experiment on various hand poses with the hidden fingers using both hands, the accuracy showed over 95% and the performance indicated over 32 fps. The proposed method can be used as a contactless input interface in presentation, advertisement, education, and game applications.
