The use of physics based deformation methods is continuously increasing in computer graphics area such as game and simulation. Many researchers have worked on this method. However, relatively few researchers have considered the development of the user interaction to the 3D objects. This research proposes a physics-based deformation technique using AR (Augmented Reality) environments to enhance user immersion and the effectiveness of the deformation. In the AR circumstances, the physics based deformation should be accomplished in realtime. In the proposed method, we combine RBF (Radial Basis Function) [1] and LSM (Lattice Shape Matching) [2, 3] and apply it to polygonal models for real-time user interaction. The dynamics of the LSM is also calculated to trace the movement of each lattice. Finally these algorithms are implemented in AR environments.

In this paper, we consider the problem of exploring unknown environments with a mobile robot or an autonomous character agent. Traditionally, research efforts to address the space exploration problem havefocused on the graph-based space representations and the graph search algorithms. Recently EXPLORE, one of the most efficient search algorithms, has been discovered. It traverses at most min$min(mn, d^2+m)$ edges where d is the deficiency of a edges and n is the number of edges and n is the number of vertices. In this paper, we propose DFS-RTA* and DFS-PHA*, two real-time graph search algorithms for directing an autonomous agent to explore in an unknown space. These algorithms are all built upon the simple depth-first search (DFS) like EXPLORE. However, they adopt different real-time shortest path-finding methods for fast backtracking to the latest node, RTA* and PHA*, respectively. Through some experiments using Unreal Tournament, a 3D online game environment, and KGBot, an intelligent character agent, we analyze completeness and efficiency of two algorithms.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the virtual reality training (VRT) using 3-dimensional video gaming technology on spatiotemporal gait parameters in older adults. METHODS: The study participants were divided into two groups: the VRT group and the control group. Those in the VRT group were enrolled in a VRT, which was conducted for 60 min per day, two times a week, during the 6-week research. The Wii-Fit balance board game was used for the VRT intervention. The VRT consisted of 6 different types of games, namely, jogging, swordplay, ski jump, hula hoop, tennis, and step dance. A 3-dimensional TV was used for 3-dimensional display. Participants in both the groups received 3 sessions of fall prevention education, at the first, third, and fifth weeks. Their gait parameters were measured by using OptoGait. RESULTS: After 6 weeks of the VRT, the spatial gait parameters of the participants, that is stride length and step length, were significantly improved compared with those of the control group participants (p<0.05). The temporal gait parameters, such as velocity, cadence, stride time, and step time, also showed improvement after the completion of the VRT training (p<0.05). Both the temporal and spatial gait parameters of the VRT group participants showed improvement after 6 weeks of the program compared with those of the control group participants (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The VRT using 3-dimensional video gaming technology might be beneficial for improving gait parameters to prevent falls among older adults.

There is an increasing interest in contents such as movie, drama and game using transmedia storytelling. It includes Le Grand Chef, The War of Flower, Dae Jang Geum, The Matrix, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. However, transmedia contents have not always been successful. To study the factors affecting possible outcomes of transmedia storytelling, we analyzed the intention on transmedia of potential consumers who have not been exposed to transmedia contents before. To this end, we investigated two different cases : first, potential customer intention to watch dramas which will be produced after launching comic-based movies; second, potential customer intention to see movies which will be made after broadcasting comic-based TV dramas. In each case, we analyzed the outcomes from potential customers by applying several variables including gender, exposure to the original and components of contents (plot, quality of act and music etc). Our study showed that potential customers prefer movies or TV dramas with quality of acting, directing, casting and storylines. Interestingly, the quality of acting is more important in dramas than in movies and casting is an appealing factor to potential customers in movies. In TV drama cases, potential customers have high watching intentions when they read the original content. Among them, male potential customer have low watching intentions on TV drama when they did not read the original content. However, female potential customers have high watching intentions on TV drama regardless of the previous exposure to the originals. In movie cases, female potential customers have higher intentions on seeing movies than male. These results suggest that one needs to consider several factors such as casting, acting and gender for generating transmedia contents with a high probability of success.

A development of the Digital Media through media convergency is creating various contents business. Basically, contentware can be explained as something watching, listening or enjoying. It has been developing to tie a moving image with a sound and a game; something that was in the entertainment business in the past. The good way to get an insight on effectiveness of the multimedia contentware would be though the understanding of the change of communication style in digital medium. Thus, this paper covers the effectiveness problems in the semantic level rather than the accuracy and efficiency in the syntactic level in the digital media mediated communication. As the trends of the media cornsumption is moving toward more an interesting way, it is essential to build up commoness in terms of sympathy between a contentware and user. So this paper introduces the concept of commom fields of experience through the fundamentals of the phatic communication as a way to architect the multimedia content effectively.

Graphic Design is being developed as a unique genre and widely applied to movie, TV broadcasting, music video, computer an, web design, animation, and game. Some university added motion graphics in their curriculum recently. However Motion Graphic has not been defined clearly and pedagogy of motion graphics was not studied enough. Motion Graphic is not merely moving picture. Its typical purpose and concept are evolving because of the diversified application. Meta-synthesis between media and hybrid development based on diverse approach and composite presentational methods are also changing Motion Graphic. Various technology such as photograph, analytical engine, hypermedia, multimedia, digital composite picture, network and interface should be studied to understand Motion Graphic. This study reviews the historic background of Motion Graphic mainly related to its advent. A fundamental definition of Motion Graphic including the space and time is suggested and the international trend is introduced. Future Motion Graphic and possible development was also predicted.

The purpose of the study was to suggest automatic recognition of the subject's level of arousal into high arousal and low arousal with neural network SOM learning. The automatic recognition in the level of arousal is composed of three stages. First, it is a stage of ECG measurement and analysis. It measures the subject playing a shooting game with ECG and extracts characteristics for SOM learning. Second, it is a stage of SOM learning. It learns input vectors extracting characteristics. Finally, it is a stage of arousal recognition which recognize the subject's level of arousal when new vectors are input after SOM learning is completed. The study expresses recognition results in the level of arousal and the level of arousal in numerical value and graph when SOM learning results in the level of arousal and new vectors are input. Finally, SOM evaluation was analyzed average 86% by comparing emotion evaluation results of the existing research with automatic recognition results of SOM in order. The study could experience automatic recognition with other levels of arousal by each subject with SOM.

In the mobile gaming market, it is desirable for a specific content to be served on various platforms. Recently, it is a very important issue in the market for mobile games. This problem incurs extra cost, because we need to redevelop existing contents to be executed on another platforms. Moreover, the release of a new platform has spent much more effort and cost developing many contents in short period of time. Therefore, we need to research about translation techniques that enable the existing contents to run on a different platform. In this paper, we propose translation techniques for mobile games. The techniques can be applied on converting mobile contents to runnable contents on a new platform. To realize it, we design and implement a source-level contents translator which is targeting Android platform using the suggested techniques. Our source-level contents translator is implemented systematically by applying compiler theory. Also, we solve partially translation problems between different programming languages. The translator has been implemented separately divided into three tasks such as kernel porting, library mapping as well as language translation. We expect these techniques to increase utilization of existing mobile games and contribute to vitalizations of mobile contents industry.

With enforcement of five-day workweek system, leisure time for family has increased. However, there is imbalance between demand and supply of leisure because of the absence of proper way for spending leisure time with family. On the other hand, TV, which has been playing an important role as a media for family, shows new possibility of interaction with advent of Smart TV. With this tendency, now it could be an appropriate time for researching the healthy way to spend leisure time on weekend with family. Therefore this paper aims to propose a family farming contents called 'Our Farm', which links on-line and off-line. To firm up necessity and appropriateness of this paper, I analyzed existing thesis and games for family and did FGI(Focus Group Interview) with a family. In this research, I proposed the picture UI based on results of investigation.
