Although e-sports broadcasting market based on VR(Virtual Reality) is growing in these days, technology development for securing market competitiveness is quite inadequate in Korea. Global companies such as SLIVER and Facebook already developed and are trying to commercialize 360 VR broadcasting technology which is able to broadcast e-sports in 4K 30FPS VR video. However, 2D video is too poor to use for 360 VR video in that it brings less immersive experience and dizziness and has low resolution in the scene. this paper, we not only proposed and implemented virtual camera technology which is able to capture in-game space as 360 video with 4K 3D by 60FPS for e-sports VR broadcasting but also verified feasibleness of obtaining stereo 360 video up to 4K/60FPS by conducting experiment after setting up virtual camera in sample games from game engine and commercial games.

The screen sports game is a motion-based game developed by combining the PC game and the sensor so that the user can directly participate in the game. Following screen golf, which was very popular in the 2000s, screen baseball has been on the rise since 2016. Most of the games released today employ the interface of traditional PC games. However, there is a need for a method that allows the user to manipulate the screen baseball in a more intuitive manner. In this study, we utilize a Kiosk independent of the game, which enables users to intervene naturally without disturbing the flow of the game. Such a Kiosk-based interface results in increased immersion in the game.

With the introduction of e-Sports, games have emerged as a new public culture. Also, it has had positive effects on related industries including game, contents, broadcasting, IT and more. Studies on eSports consumer behavior are required for the continuous vitalization of the eSports industry. However, there are insufficient studies on the psychological aspect of eSports consumers. This study aims to find the motivations for watching the League of Legends(LoL), which has opened a new paradigm of eSports. We also find the relationship between such viewing motivation and satisfaction. This study is expected to be the base of future studies on eSports consumer motivation and establish effective marketing strategies in the industry.

현재 세계적으로 e스포츠 시장의 규모가 꾸준히 성장하고 있는 가운데 PC 게임을 다루는 e스포츠 리그뿐만 아니라 모바일 게임을 다루는 e스포츠 리그도 점진적으로 규모가 커지고 있다. 하지만 모바일 e스포츠는 아직 PC e스포츠에 비해 사람들에게 많이 소비되고 있지 않고, 사람들에게서 주류로 인정받지 못하는 시선이 다분하다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 e스포츠 시장이 보다 효율적으로 발전할 수 있도록 어떤 부분 때문에 아직 발전 속도가 더딘지 점검하고, 모바일 e스포츠가 처한 현 상황에 대해 알아보며 앞으로의 성장 가능성에 대해 분석 및 연구하고자 한다.

최근 몇 년간 e스포츠 산업은 전 세계적으로 꾸준히 성장하고 있다. 특히 모바일게임은 PC나 콘솔 게임에 비해 낮은 비용으로 쉽게 접근할 수 있어 모바일 e스포츠 산업 규모 또한 점진적인 성장을 보이고 있다. 하지만 국내 모바일 e스포츠 산업은 해외 모바일 e스포츠 산업과 비교했을 때 시장의 규모에서 큰 차이를 보였고, 국내 PC e스포츠 산업과 비교해 보아도 상대적으로 시장 규모가 작아 국내에서는 모바일 e스포츠 산업이 비주류로서 소비되는 모습을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 다른 국가의 모바일 e스포츠 흥행 요인 등을 분석하여 국내 모바일 e스포츠 산업 발전 방안을 제시하고, 국내 e스포츠 산업의 새로운 수익 모델로 모바일 e스포츠를 제안하고자 한다.

This study is intended to suggest ways to improve the quality of the service of subtitles provided for the convenience of viewing for deaf people on e-sports broadcast content and game streamer content. Generally, subtitling files of broadcast content are manually written on air by stenographers, so a delay of 3 to 5 seconds is inevitable compared to the original content. Therefore, the present study proposed the formation of an automatic synchronization calibration system using speech recognition technology. In addition, a content application experiment using this system was conducted, and the final result confirmed that the time of synchronization error of subtitling data could be reduced to less than 1 second.
