  • The hospital situation, timing, and patient restrictions have become obstacles to an optimum therapy session. The crowdedness of the hospital might lead to a tight schedule and a shorter period of therapy. This condition might strike a post-stroke patient in a dilemma where they need regular treatment to recover their nervous system. In this work, we propose an in-house and uncomplex serious game system that can be used for physical therapy. The Kinect camera is used to capture the depth image stream of a human skeleton. Afterwards, the user might use their hand gesture to control the game. Voice recognition is deployed to ease them with play. Users must complete the given challenge to obtain a more significant outcome from this therapy system. Subjects will use their upper limb and hands to capture the 3D objects with different speeds and positions. The more substantial challenge, speed, and location will be increased and random. Each delegated entity will raise the scores. Afterwards, the scores will be further evaluated to correlate with therapy progress. Users are delighted with the system and eager to use it as their daily exercise. The experimental studies show a comparison between score and difficulty that represent characteristics of user and game. Users tend to quickly adapt to easy and medium levels, while high level requires better focus and proper synchronization between hand and eye to capture the 3D objects. The statistical analysis with a confidence rate(α:0.05) of the usability test shows that the proposed gaming is accessible, even without specialized training. It is not only for therapy but also for fitness because it can be used for body exercise. The result of the experiment is very satisfying. Most users enjoy and familiarize themselves quickly. The evaluation study demonstrates user satisfaction and perception during testing. Future work of the proposed serious game might involve haptic devices to stimulate their physical sensation.

  • 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.

  • This paper focuses on developing a first-person 3D game to provide extreme fear to players through realistic camera direction utilizing the features of action cameras. As a new camera production technique, we introduce perspective distortion using a wide-angle lens and camera shake when moving to provide higher immersion than existing games. The theme of the game is horror room escape, and the player starts with a firearm, but in order to overcome the concern that the game's difficulty is low due to the use of firearms, the player is asked to control the use of firearms by imposing burdens such as chasing monsters and reducing the number of magazines. The significance of this paper is that we developed a new type of 3D game that maximizes the fear effect of players through realistic production.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze how auto-combat function in mobile RPG satisfies player's desires. The auto-combat is classified into two types-complete and partial- by timing of activation and degree of control. With elicited aspects of play, players' desires are examined based on Lacan's Desire Theory. A player employing partial auto-combat desires to master higher stages with perfect or flawless control, and one's 'object petit a' is to be the difficulty of the stages. On the other hand, a player applying the complete auto-combat demands to fully comprehend the rules of the game and to attain the rewards of completed stage to build more competent characters. Once a player acquires the desirable object, one recognizes the illusion of one's achievement and seeks for new objects. In this succession, auto-combat function is utilized as an active action of willingness for fulfilling one's desire.

  • This study aims to propose instituting the serious games of language-based cognitive enhancement for the BIF children. The program consists of 4 cognitive areas (perception, attention, working memory, knowledge inference) in 4 language dimensions (phoneme, word, sentence, discourse). 16 games of 4 areas/2 dimensions with 3 difficulty levels were implemented in a mobile station and pilot-tested to children including BIFs. The results from the pilot tests supported for the validity and effectiveness of our games: Children's game performance correlated with their IQ scores (overall and sub-areas) revealing significant differences between the groups. The stroop scores in pre-and-post training hinted the increase of children's cognitive control.

  • Recently, due to the development of attack techniques that can circumvent existing information protection systems, continuous threats in a form unrecognized by the user have threatened information assets. Therefore, it is necessary to support the prompt responses to anticipated attempts of APT attacks, bypass access attacks, and encryption packet attacks, which the existing systems have difficulty defending against through a single response, and to continuously monitor information protection systems with a defense strategy based on Indicators of Attack (IOA). In this paper, I suggest a centralized intelligent information protection system to support the intelligent response to a violation by discerning important assets through prevention control in a performance impact assessment about information properties in order to block the attack routes of APT; establishing information control policies through weakness/risk analyses in order to remove the risks in advance; establishing detection control by restricting interior/exterior bypass networks to server access and monitoring encrypted communications; and lastly, performing related corrective control through backup/restoration.

  • The development of a variety of sensor technology, users smart phone, the use of motion recognition apparatus such as a console game machines is increasing. It tends to user needs motion recognition-based input device are increasing. Existing motion recognition mouse is equipped with a modified form of the mouse button on the outside and serves as a wheel mouse left and right buttons. Existing motion recognition mouse is to manufacture a small, there is a difficulty to operate the button. It is to apply the motion recognition technology the motion recognition technology is used only pointing the cursor there is a limit. In this paper, use of MEMS-based motion recognition sensor, the body of the two-point operation data by recognizing the operation of the (thumb and forefinger) and generating a control signal, followed by studies on the generated control signal to a wireless transmitting computer input device.

  • In the development of various types of sensor technology, the general users smartphone, the environment is increased, which can be seen in contact with the movement recognition device, such as a console game machine (Nintendo Wii), an increase in the user needs of the action recognition-based input device there is a tendency to have. Mouse existing behavior recognition, attached to the outside, is mounted in the form of mouse button is deformed, the left mouse was the role of the right button and a wheel, an acceleration sensor (or a gyro sensor) inside to, plays the role of a mouse cursor, is to manufacture a compact, there is a difficulty in operating the button, to apply a motion recognition technology is used to operate recognition technology only pointing cursor is limited. Therefore, in this paper, using a MEMS-based motion-les Koguni tion sensor (Motion Recognition Sensor), to recognize the behavior of the two points of the human body (thumb and forefinger), to generate the motion data, and this to the foundation, compared to the pre-determined matching table (moving and mouse button events cursor), and generates a control signal by determining, were studied the generated control signal input device of the computer wirelessly transmitting.
