The augmented reality toy-game is a kind of new game genre that can be seen within the concept of augmented reality games, and it is a term to refer to the content or hardware that plays the game using the toy of the real world. This study aims to analyze the elements for the model of toy-game development based on the augmented reality. This study analyzed three characteristics of toy game which are different from other games based on existing related research. and have selected important factors to consider when developing augmented reality toy-game. A questionnaire was conducted to determine the suitability of the development elements derived, and the analysis and verification of the factors derived using an exploratory analysis method. As a result, it showed a reasonable outcome of the selection of variables, with the exception of some of the questions, and the classification results of the multi-dimensional scaling methods were also classified as reasonable in the clustering analyses.

This study aimed to identify the problems of toy libraries by investigating and analyzing the identity and administration of toy library and so to propose the approaches to improve the legal and administrative status of toy library. In accordance with the analysis, only 9.8%(5) of 51 toy libraries in Korea was established on the basis of the Libraries Act. Most toy libraries were established and operated without any basis on legal institutions or toy library ordinances of local authorities(45%). The purposes of establishment were different from the identity of toy library specified in the provisions of Clause 1, 2 and 3, Article 2, Libraries Act, as 82.4% of toy libraries was established for rental of toys, providing game data and cultural activity service and distributing game programs. For the legal registration standards based on the Libraries Act, it was found that 96.1% exceeded the floorage requirements, 92.3% exceeded the seating requirement and 45.1% exceeded the collection requirement on the basis of the small libraries. Only 13.7% employed the librarians. Next, most toy libraries secured just 70% of the required budget. In conclusion, this study proposed the local authorities to establish the ordinances related to toy library on the basis of the Libraries Act. Next, it was also proposed for the toy libraries to register themselves in accordance with the Libraries Act for securing the legal status. Finally, the local authorities need to rationalize and support the budgets for rationalizing the administration of toy libraries.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in integrating physical toys into video gaming within the game content business. This paper introduces a novel method that leverages low-cost camera as an alternative to using sensor attachments to meet this rising demand. We address the limitations associated with low-cost cameras and propose an optical design tailored to the specific environment of model car recognition. We overcome the inherent limitations of low-cost cameras by proposing an optical design specifically tailored for model car recognition. This approach primarily focuses on recognizing the underside of the car and addresses the challenges associated with this particular perspective. Our method employs a transfer learning model that is specifically trained for this task. We have achieved a 100% recognition rate, highlighting the importance of collecting data under various camera exposures. This paper serves as a valuable case study for incorporating low-cost cameras into vision systems.

In come cases, people differently respond on the same joke or thoughtless behavior - sometimes like it and laugh, another time feel annoyed or angry. This fact is explained that experiences which we had in the past are remembered by emotional memory, so they cause different responses. When people face similar situation or feel similar emotion, they evoke the emotion experienced in the past and the emotional memory affects current emotion. This paper suggested the mechanism of the emotional memory using SOM through the similarity between the emotional memory and SOM learning algorithm. It was assumed that the mechanism of the emotional memory has also the characteristics of association memory, long-term memory and short-term memory in its process of remembering emotional experience, which are known as the characteristics of the process of remembering factual experience. And then these characteristics were applied. The mechanism of the emotional memory designed like this was applied to toy hammer game and I measured the change in the power of toy hammer caused by differently responding on the same stimulus. The mechanism of the emotional memory suggest in above is expected to apply to the fields of game, robot engineering, because the mechanism can express various emotions on the same stimulus.

Virtual reality can user experience the virtual world of computer and stimulate user eyesight and emotions. HMD can acquire and stimulate user behavior and sensory information. In this paper, we propose a virtual reality game using robot control. Controlling the robots using various interfaces and synchronizing them with the virtual reality game. In this paper, we use OID mat for robot movement detection based optical code recognition and Kalman filter.

As use of Internet increase, IoT(Internet Of Things), a interaction between connected devices, is widely used throughout industrial area. In this paper, we discussed what to consider when planning framework for contents using user's mobile devices and various sensors in IoT environment and suggest related techniques. Also, using the techniques suggested in this paper, we showed the prototype of the framework. Finally, we showed the possibility of games in the IoT environment by creating game in the IoT environment.

The recent domestic toy market is filled with the fever of 'Turning Mecard' produced as a character product of units showing in . The toy market of the domestic character licensing industry has shown such rapidly changing trends during the period of broadcasting contents like animation or special films targeting children. Through these contents, the characters are cognized, and also the immersion and loyalty can be increased depending on the progress of the story, on top of marketing effect while the animation is broadcasted. This effect is called gamification meaning that consumers voluntarily participate in the contents after receiving fun. Through the purchase of character products, the immersion and loyalty participate in the animation. Thus, this study analyzed the gamification elements by examining the animation and toy products of currently gaining popularity in the toy market. In the results of the study, the story structure of has the sustainment just like game, which is connected to its character product. Therefore, the users who have watched build up the relationship with each other, and the competition and reward can be done through the game using the character products, which is connected to such high immersion and loyalty.

Various image media such as game, animation, movie is developing. Goods called Figure as extension that use contents source of one kind in several forms were made, and is drawing a lot of popularity today. However, is handled as simple toy of children in the Korea. So, development of allied industry is slow. In case of overseas recognized the importance by means of marketing in contents industry. In this paper, explain meaning about figure and kinds of figure and through philosophical thought and theory, analyzed personality which figure has through scientific investigation(theory of Walter Benjamin, Freud and psychologists). Nowaday, figure industry of the Korea and other foreign country is continuing development. Especially the contents of Hanryu(Korea) star figure has lots of value and possibility of future growth.

Recently, a variety of methodologies based on the use of educational coding robots have been proposed and experimented in newly emerging korean educational coding markets. Due to imprecise movement accuracy of the existing coding robots, however, such robots are mainly used as a toy. Inspired by these observations, we developed a simple adjustment method during robot movements, which is based on the observation results of 6 line-tracking sensors: 3 sensors in the center of a robot and other 3 sensors at the front. These sensors help to determine whether the robot is in the right location and whether it rotates as expected. Through the well-designed experiments, we report the effectiveness of our proposed solution: the average distance error of 1.57cm and the average degree error of 2.38 degree before and after complex movements. In near future, we hope our method to be popularly used in various educational coding robot platforms.
