  • As the aging population has increased, the silver generation is getting to account for the considerable percent of economic activities and becomes the main body of production and consumption. Although the economic activity of silver generation is increased, the development of silver contents for the leisure activities is still not revitalized. The serious silver contents and the easy-to-use interface are very important because the silver generation is relatively weaker than young people in perception, studying, and exercise, and is fragile in mobility and vitality. This paper suggests methods to develop sensory bicycle, gate ball, and mole game contents haying lower body exercise effects for the silver generation to utilize leisure and maintain health. Along with fun as games, functional design factors suitable to the cognitive ability and bodily activity ability of the silver generation were considered and through sensory intefaces that are easy for the silver generation to use and customized progressing methods complying with individual characteristics, it was attempted to induce continued interests and lower body exercise effects.

  • Although the technology of breadmaking simply goes through the process of mixing, fermentation, and baking, it is very hard to make a same product every day. The reason is that baking science begins with the very first process of breadmaking which is mixing, and every steps and working environments are so closely connected. The baking science has developed in short time since the theory of fermentation has released. If you check the development of baking technology synthetically, it is consisted of the discovery of nutritional and functional ingredients, the optimization process of new machines, and the maintenance of the quality as fulfilling social demands. Because the baking business is making and selling the product, baking itself is a business, and it has the form that manufacturing and service business coexist. In today's current domestic bakery market, the supply exceeds the demand. Moreover, the concept of bakery itself has been changing from the fixed image of bakery which is selling the bread to the differentiated bakery with others. As we look at the general bakery's trends, it is focused on going back to the basic or traditions, going to the functional, and working with automations. To conclude, the baking has a long history, but it actually has the short history in the technological development. Baking business can be viewed as the simple business, but many factors are related to the business. It has a few basic kinds of products in baking, but it has diverse kinds of products with the base of infinite creativity. Even though it is physically a hard working business, it is also a business that can face with fun. For managing a bakery, finally, the differentiated strategy with other bakery that maximizes the customers' value is needed.

  • In this paper, a VR-based cyber hiking system was designed to provide virtual reality for famous mountains that can offer the real senses and feelings of hiking in supporting environmental factors of actual mountains such as the temperature, air, sound, echoes, etc., of the mountain the user wants to climb. The VR-based cyber hiking system that reflects real-time site conditions is largely consisted of the data collection module that collects data from the live site, multiple drive modules that enables the user to feel real senses using data from the sites, and sensor module to detect the stimuli provided by the drive modules and the user's physical body transition. Unlike existing VR-based hiking systems, the proposed cyber hiking system not only provides simple virtual reality for the wanted mountain, but can also provide the natural conditions of real mountains and implement the uphill and downhill of hiking routes. In particular, it has the effect of providing fun and game elements to users by excluding unnecessary conditions and risks that may arise in actual hiking and instead supporting augmented realities such as squirrels on actual hiking paths. In addition, in providing users with the changes in their body before and after hiking, it is expected to be effective in providing diverse feedback such as the height, gradient, and speed of mountain hiking.

  • Animations are filled with emotional expressions of childlike innocence and fun, their dramatic plots and boundless imaginations have made them the focal points in a global context featuring industrialization and marketization, and people around the world like watching these animations. Animated adaptations are very common artistic phenomenons and cultural practices, and they have been one of central topics of theoretical discussions since the creation of animation films. Currently, the research on animated adaptations is mainly about case analysis, but from the perspective of methodology, there lacks a theoretical and systematic study on the adaptation and recreation of narrative text. This paper takes western narratology as the theoretical tool to do a systematic research analysis on the narrative adaptation of animation films, and it will involve the method and values of animated adaptation. This paper used to the method of 'Greimas' and to study the procedure of adaption from an origin to an animation. The paper found the success factors in animation through it.

  • The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between communication motive, fatigue and loneliness in mobile environment. According to previous research, the most important communication motive in mobile environment is pleasure. Therefore, pleasure was selected as a representative communication motive. To do this, we collected data for empirical analysis from mobile messenger users using questionnaire. We found that pleasure has a negative effect on loneliness. Second, pleasure has a negative effect on connection, function, and focus. On the other hand, pleasure has no effect on delivery and relationship fatigue. Finally, function and focus have a positive effect on loneliness. On the other hand, connection, delivery, and relationship fatigue have no effect on loneliness. As a result of the research, it is possible to reduce the function and focus fatigue due to the use of the mobile messenger by adding the functions that cause the enjoyment of using the messenger. In addition, the addition of fun-inducing features can also reduce loneliness caused by the use of mobile messenger. Future research will also need to identify factors that may reduce connection and relationship fatigue.

  • Currently, as we enter the 21st century, the level and interest of society, culture, economy, and science are rapidly developing, but science education is still struggling. In order to increase the efficiency of science education, it is most important to focus on elementary education based on basic science. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the main causes of Korea's science museum's regression as a museum focusing on experience, interest, and fun such as simple science experience centers and science theme parks. To this end, the influencing factors were identified by applying the algorithm of the actor-based model based on the data on the exhibition space and the exhibition movement of the science museum completed and operated in Korea over the past 5 years, and the problem of the visitor movement in the exhibition space was analyzed through the space system. In this study, it was confirmed that the exhibition environment was the best when the linear plot movement system and the picalesque plot were applied simultaneously in the museum's exhibition narrative theory, and the arrangement of major exhibition spaces, width of exhibition spaces, and separation of spaces for exhibition purposes were derived.

  • As 3D printer-related patents expire and major technologies are disclosed, the price of 3D printers is dropping, creating an environment where you can easily find the product you want. In particular, the cheapest FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printer is being used in various fields. The FDM method can be manufactured without collapsing of the shape only by attaching a support under certain conditions when outputting the shape. When printing a shape without a support, the irregular surface that occurs at a certain angle is a defect in the product, but it is considered that it can be used as another fun factor in terms of arts and crafts. In this paper, to obtain such an irregular surface, factors that can affect the output were controlled and only the output angle was tested as a displacement factor. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to obtain an irregular surface without the filament flowing down when printing at an angle of 62° to 70° from the vertical. Also, artificially irregular surfaces were applied to craft products.

  • This study proposes a third-person virtual reality content production pipeline to provide users with a new experience and presence in a new virtual reality environment. For this purpose, we first create third-person virtual reality content, which includes a story, fun factors, and game characteristic. It consists of a tutorial scene in which a user can pre-learn the proposed interface suitable for a third person different from existing virtual reality content and a content scene that achieves its purpose by using game factors based on the background story. Next, we design an interface suitable for the third-person virtual reality content. This study proposes an interface in which users can interact with a virtual environment or object by using their hand. The proposed interface consists of three steps: character movement, virtual object selection with multiple selection, and 3D menu control using virtual space. Finally, through the survey experiment, third-person virtual reality content produced based on the proposed interface was confirmed to be easily controlled while ensuring high satisfaction.

  • This study, based on flow theory and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), examines various factors that influence the continuous use of mobile applications, particularly those providing users with satisfaction and pleasure as well as useful information. This study extends the previous studies that have been based on technology acceptance model, in which usefulness and ease of use are key determinants of use of new technology, by introducing flow theory in explaining the use of various technologies in mobile environment. For this purpose, this study employes a survey based field study and collects data from individuals who use fashion mobile apps since these are considered to provide fun and pleasures. This study finds that flow theory is a proper framework to understand the use of mobile technology, indicating flow experience is an important variable to determine the usage of fashion apps. In addition, performance expectation, effort expectation, social influence, and facilitation condition are found to be significant in influencing use of mobile apps, suggesting UTAUT still plays an important role in understanding the use of mobile technology.

  • The study aims at exploring motivation, rationale, and values in twitter users' retweet behavior. It proposes that diffusion of message is based on the complex interactional relationships among attributes of original message, user's rationale, and values. Based on a pilot study, we constructed a total of 34 questions asking message attributes, motivation, and values of retweeting. Then, twitter users participated in an online survey, in which they evaluate their own 5 retweet messages based on the constructed questions(5 messages ${\times}$ 34 questions = 170). Then, a factor analysis is done in order to see the dimensions of the concepts in retweet behavior; and understand how message attributes, motivations, and values are inter-related with each other. The main factors extracted were: (1) public fairness, (2) fun and playfulness, (3) communal help, (4) news and information, etc. Factor 2 and 4 show the traditional journalism characteristics; while factor 1 and 3 do alternative journalistic values. The latter may work as a rectifying factors for traditional journalism; however, backfiring mechanism for group polarization. In addition, (1) users' internal identities, (2) communal unity and (3) belongness were identified as rationales and values for retweet behavior.
