  • Various digital literacy and critical competencies are crucial for success in the information and media-rich 21st century game of life. This study explores and describes the digital literacy practices of role-players in WildStar, a science fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). Active role-players create and participate in group-driven interactive stories while in-character. A hybrid ethnographic method integrating overt participant observation and engagement, collection of community artifacts across multiple sites (such as wikis, discussion boards, and social media), and semi-structured interviews was employed to understand how role-players seek, use, evaluate, and manage information, media, and technology. Role-players used various media and technologies to supplement, simplify, and make role-playing more immersive. The relative digital literacy skill levels of individuals varied, leading role-players to leverage the skills of more proficient or experienced community members. Given the broad appeal of online games and educational benefits of role-playing, implications and applications for digital literacy skills instruction and library programming are also discussed.

  • This paper proposes the framework of the scenario-based 3D image synthesizing system that allows common users who envision a scenario in their mind to realize it into the segments of cool animation. We focused on utilization of the existing motions to synthesize new motions for the objects. The framework is useful to build a 3D animation in game programming with a limited set of 3D objects. We also propose a practical algorithm to reuse and expand the objects. This algorithm is based on motion path modification rules. Both linear and nonlinear curve-fitting algorithms were applied to modify an animation by key frame interpolation and to make the motion appear realistic.

  • This paper presents a real-time fire simulation on the mobile phone using stable fluid animation techniques. Stable and fast fluid simulation methods are developed in PC and console games, but fluid simulation and interactive fluid models require too much system resources for applying on mobile environment. We studied and implemented physics-based models for fluids like fire and smoke effects using billboard and stable fluids simulation method on mobile 3D system. The mobile platform of our system is WIPI, which is the standard mobile platform in Korea, also we adopted NF3D API for our 3D programming API. We implemented real-time fire simulation and added it in mobile 3D game, "Rupee Story".

  • As DMB, 3D game, Internet and movie is serviced for the recent mobile devices, high resolution display devices beyond VGA become used. Implementation of real-time moving pictures of 30렌 by software programming is difficult because the performance of mobile processors is not so high. The full frame moving picture can be supported by using specific hardware. In this paper, an OLED controller that is consists of flash memory controller and OLED interface is proposed for real-time moving picture on mobile displays. The proposed OLED controller is implemented in FPGA and the performance is evaluated.

  • To solve the problems of heavy computing load and system transmission pressure in energy internet (EI), we establish a three-tier cloud-edge integrated EI network based on a cloud-edge collaborative computing to achieve the tradeoff between energy consumption and the system delay. A joint optimization problem for resource allocation and task offloading in the threetier cloud-edge integrated EI network is formulated to minimize the total system cost under the constraints of the task scheduling binary variables of each sensor node, the maximum uplink transmit power of each sensor node, the limited computation capability of the sensor node and the maximum computation resource of each edge server, which is a Mixed Integer Non-linear Programming (MINLP) problem. To solve the problem, we propose a joint task offloading and resource allocation algorithm (JTOARA), which is decomposed into three subproblems including the uplink transmission power allocation sub-problem, the computation resource allocation sub-problem, and the offloading scheme selection subproblem. Then, the power allocation of each sensor node is achieved by bisection search algorithm, which has a fast convergence. While the computation resource allocation is derived by line optimization method and convex optimization theory. Finally, to achieve the optimal task offloading, we propose a cloud-edge collaborative computation offloading schemes based on game theory and prove the existence of Nash Equilibrium. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can improve output performance as comparing with the conventional algorithms, and its performance is close to the that of the enumerative algorithm.

  • Interaction is an important component in the sense of immersion in augmented reality. However, the function of interaction in augmented reality contents is very weak. Bringing a lot of real environmental information is one of the ways to develop augmented reality, and interaction will naturally develop. In this paper, Leap Motion was used for natural interaction in augmented reality environment through the hand widely used as an interface tool, and extended more from the limited interaction of conventional display touch methods to create a natural interaction. This development of interaction will contribute to the development of various contents as well as augmented reality later.

  • 국가적 차원에서 저소득 청소년을 위한 교육프로그램이 많은 아동보호센터 및 지역센터를 중심으로 시행되고 있지만 그 취지와 목적에 부합하는 방과 후 교육이 제공되고 있는지 그 효과성에 대해서는 주목하지 않아왔다. 본 연구는 저소득 청소년을 위한 방과 후 교육의 질 관리에 대한 필요성이 대두되고 있는 시점에서 영재교육의 일환으로 여겨져 왔던 창의성 교육을 조명하였다. 저소득층 청소년의 창의력 인성을 양성하기 위한 교육용 게임 프로그래밍 수업의 효과성에 대해 조사하였다. A시 5곳의 아동보호시설에서 운영되고 있는 게임프로그래밍 수업에 참여하고 있는 학생과 참여하지 않는 학생을 대상으로 창의적 인성검사를 실시하여 비교 분석하였다. 창의적 인성검사는 크게 자기확신(Self Confidence), 호기심(Curiosity), 인내(Patience), 개방성(Openess), 모험심(Adventure)으로 구분하여 t검증을 통해 유의한가를 분석하였다. 다섯 가지 영역의 평균은 실험집단이 높았으나, 이 중 '인내' 영역이 두드러진 차이를 보였고, 이로 인해 게임프로그래밍 수업을 받은 학생들이 수업을 받지 않은 학생들에 비해 과제 수행에 있어 인내와 끈기를 가지고 도전하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 자기 확신, 호기심, 개방성, 모험심 네 가지 영역에 대해서는 두드러지는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 이에 대한 개선책으로 학생들에게 이 네 가지 영역을 균형적으로 길러주기 위하여 체계적으로 강사진의 교수법 연수, 교육과정의 개선, 학생 동기 유발, 학생 독려 및 관리 등 다양한 방법을 통해 수업의 질을 개선시켜 학생들의 창의적 인성 양성에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • In the future there would be many kinds of digital images for many industrial markets. 3D stereoscopic images for variable fields; medical operation, film and animation, broadcasting, internet, game, or design for art and architecture. And many people to work about computer programming, and digital image making will concern about it more and more. However, these kinds works and studies are focused on the professional technical fields like 3D display or computer programming technology so far. To revitalize the market of a variable stereoscopic contents, there should build up the foundation for easy processing of the making stereoscopic images. This paper is based on stereoscopic making skills for anaglyph system. An anaglyph system has an old history about making stereoscopic images, and very simple method to produce the stereoscopic images. Particularly this study is focused on color compositing technique, and camera positioning on the compositing system. It will help optimization of the environments to create 3D motion graphic and animation contents.
