Due to improvements in the capabilities of commercial game engines, there are increasing instances of applying game engines to scientific visualization applications. This study describes a case of creating a virtual reality application that visualizes medical volume data based on the Unity3D game engine. When using a game engine, there is an advantage that various functions required for an application are basically provided, such as depth sorting of translucent objects or virtual reality hardware support. On the other hand, there is a restriction that the structure of the application program should be modified to suit the characteristics of the game engine. This paper describes a method for visualizing medical volume data using the structure of a game engine. As a result, we were able to create a virtual reality scene that consisted of surface data and medical volume data fragments together. And we confirmed the possibility of game engine as a future medical simulation production tool.

The background of this study is the trend in which the genres of mobile games are becoming diverse based on advanced smart devices. However, since cut-scenes are still being regarded as somewhat unnecessary elements in digital games, this study seeks to suggest the functions and range of uses of cut-scenes. The scope of this study is to make classifications for the range of uses of cut-scenes in commercialized mobile games according to the genre, and investigate the characteristics of visual expression to create a frame for communicative styles of mobile games. The result of study was that different styles were identified regarding the use of cut-scenes in mobile games just as in existing digital games, however diverse attempts are not yet being made as in early digital games. Future study needs to be carried out on communication styles that match the characteristics of mobile game platforms, in which a module that can be applied in the introduction of a new platform is required.

In recent years, the problem of spectrum mobility in Cognitive Radio (CR) Networks has been widely investigated. In order to utilize spectrum resources completely, many spectrum handoff techniques based on game theory have been proposed, but most studies only concern that users how to achieve better payoffs, without much attention to the diverse needs of users. In this paper, we propose a new channel-switching model based on game theory, using a prioritized approach to meet the diverse needs of users in two different modes (CQ and PS). At the same time, this paper proposes some acceleration techniques to reach the Nash equilibrium more efficiently. We evaluate the performance of the proposed schemes depending on priority using real channel availability measurements, and conclude that the channel quality function (CQ) mode provide better service for priority user but the plan-sorting (PS) mode can be more suitable in multiple priority users exist scene.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is capable of providing services to smart devices nearby through radio access networks and thus improving service experience of users. In this paper, an offloading strategy for the joint optimization of computing and communication resources in multi-user and multi-MEC overlapping scene was proposed. In addition, under the condition that wireless transmission resources and MEC computing resources were limited and task completion delay was within the maximum tolerance time, the optimization problem of minimizing energy consumption of all users was created, which was then further divided into two subproblems, i.e. offloading strategy and resource allocation. These two subproblems were then solved by the game theory and Lagrangian function to obtain the optimal task offloading strategy and resource allocation plan, and the Nash equilibrium of user offloading strategy games and convex optimization of resource allocation were proved. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm could effectively reduce the energy consumption of users.

In this paper, we propose a system and an intuitive interface that can create an athletic scene among athletes. We allow you to enter motion as if you were playing a game, so that the user's action becomes the player's action. The user can take various actions in front of the motion sensor and control the object flying to him. When a user specifies an opponent to pass or attack, and takes appropriate action in front of the motion sensor, the movement trajectory of the object is automatically generated by the physical optimization technique in accordance with the motion. In this way, you can create scenes where multiple players play together in a virtual environment. The method of this paper will be very useful for rapid prototyping for cinematic trailers of based on athletics games or animations.

With Unity creating footage is possible by using 3D motion, 2D motion, particular, and sound. Even post-production video editing is possible by combining the footage. In particular, Cinemachine, a suite of camera tools for Unity, that greatly affects screen layout and the flow of video images, can implement most of the functions of a physical camera. Visual aesthetics can be achieved through it. However, as it is a part of a game engine. Thus, the understanding of the game engine should come first. Also doubts may arise as to how similar it is to a physical camera. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine the advantages and cautions of virtual cameras in Cinemachine, and explore the potential for development by implementing storytelling directly.

비디오게임에 삽입되는 컷씬(cut-scene)은 배경스토리(back story)의 전달 또는 상황에 대한 연출 장치의 기능을 하나, 플레이어와 게임 간의 조작적 상호작용을 일시적으로 단절시킨다. 본 논문은 비디오게임 '언차티드2'의 26개 스테이지에서 플레이어와 게임의 상호작용을 이어가는 컷씬 '인터랙션 무비'에 대한 플레이어의 행동과 결과를 조사하여 그 기능을 분류하였다.

We developed a visualization system for sports broadcasting that informs TV viewers of a sports player's sequential performing forms and locus in detail when gymnastic game such as‘vault’is broadcasted. It records the corresponding frames while a player is performing, extracts only the player's performing forms from background scenes by a proposed algorithm, superposes them sequentially on a background scene, and broadcasts them with slow speed. This system named as‘Multi-Motion’has ever been used in NHK live broadcasting for 1995 World Gymnastics Championships held in Japan.

This paper to the scene to fit the fluid can be expressed as cartoon-style real-time method is proposed. As a matter of fact the fluid color in the simulation in which both reflection refraction and color tones are different in both cases. This paper light, water, terrain, time, etc. with cartoon-style representation of the fluid, adaptive way is proposed. Experimental implementation of the existing and proposed methods were compared with the results. This cartoon-style rendering of the existing research methods and the proposed method and at the same time using cartoon-style games that can be represented by the entire system could offer.

The viewpoint of a digital game is a prime factor that determines user immersion, and first-person viewpoint is known to produce greatest immersion. However, most games adopt third-person viewpoint rather than first-person viewpoint. This study analyzed the reason for the preference of third-person viewpoint. First, six viewpoints were defined by combining three viewpoints (first-, third-person, omniscient viewpoints) and two distances (proximal, distal) between camera and game character. Then 100 games which received high ratings during the past 10 years were sampled, and the frequencies of viewpoint choices and genres were analyzed. Overall, the results showed that games have strong preference for third-person viewpoint. However, preferred viewpoints differed depending on genres, for example, most shooting games used first-person, proximal viewpoint. This result could have arisen because both characteristics of a game and field of view have influenced choice of viewpoint. That is, many games adopt third-person viewpoint because developers consider not only user immersion but also scene visibility.
