On the website r/NYYankees, a sub-forum ("subreddit") of Reddit is devoted to the Major League Baseball team New York Yankees, with its predominantly male users showing their appreciation for baseball heroes by expressing erotic desires towards the players. When a player performs well, the subreddit is filled with admiration of desires to become the player's intimate lover-explicitly expressed by "male" fans. This paper explains the phenomenon of young male fans' desire for the now-lost model of traditional masculinity of domination and control, displayed in the context of baseball players' dominant performances. The discrepancy between a fan's non-homosexual real-world self and his homoerotic language on the subreddit is explained using the "performative fandom" theory, developed by Osborne and Coombs borrowing Butler's notion of performativity. This paper suggests how this desire for traditional masculinity serves as recognition to the collapse of masculinity in the modern American society.

In this paper, a new interactive TV service model is proposed. The MPEG-4 system is specified for composing and managing various object streams including user interactions. The data broadcasting model supporting user interactions is designed using MPEG-4 system in our proposal. We evaluate possibility of proposed service model using simulation player. This player supports MPEG-2 TS which contains MPEG-2 video and AC-3 audio streams as a main service and MPEC-4 system data as interactive services as well as user specific EPG information, and XML data, etc as supplemetary services. The player also supports a multi-channel environment. The synchronization between audio and visual data is achieved by DTS and PTS in TS.

Player's actions in a game occur in the process of gameplay experiences in a play space designed by the developer according to preset gameplay beats. Focusing on beats that induce a first-person shooter (FPS) game's main gameplay, this paper analyzes the differences in eye gaze information found in different players during the course of gameplay. For this research goal, the study divides the beat areas in which play actions appear in association with gameplay beats at a typical FPS game level, repeatedly conducts tests in accordance with a player's experience level (novice and expert group), and collects and analyzes eye gaze information data in three types of beat areas. The analysis result suggests concrete guidelines for game level design for different beat areas based on an FPS game player's experience level. This empirical experiment method and result can lessen repetitive modification work for game level design and consequently be utilized for optimizing the game level to the developer's intention.

As flash technology is a widely used in Web pages, it tends to load a S/W flash player in mobile phones and PDAs to play flash contents on diverse H/W platforms currently. In this paper, we design and implement a linux-based standalone flash player which can be used in various fields like animation, game and advertizing. We also implement an web-based manager which user can effectively manage flash players anywhere.

In these days, various technologies to provide a service of high quality of 360 VR media contents is being studied and developed. However, rendering high-quality of media images is very difficult with the limited resources of HMD (Head Mount Display). In this paper, we designed and implemented a 360 VR Player for high quality 360 tiled video image render to HMD. Furthermore, we developed multi-resolution-based Foveated Rendering technology. By conducting several experiments, We have confirmed that it improved the performance of video rendering far more than existing tiled video rendering technology.

90년대 말부터 출시되어온 MP3CD Player들은 일반 음악 CD들이 10 여곡에서 많게는 20 여곡 정도의 분량을 가지고 있는것에 비해 MP3 포멧의 음악 CD 가 그 분량이 최고 100 여곡 이상임에도 불구하고 기존의 일반 음악 CD Player의 UI를 소극적으로 수정, 변경하여 사용하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구는 자체적인 곡 분류방법을 제시하고 있는 'H'사의 MP3CD Player 를 선정하여 이를 기준으로 기능 및 정보 구조를 분석하고 사용성 평가를 위한 사용자를 선별하여 초기 디자인에 참여시켜 사용자 중심 디자인을 극대화 시키는 방법을 모색하였다. 또한 기 제품의 최초 기능 분석시에는 카드인덱스(Card Index)방식을 이용하여 기능을 그룹핑하고 인터페이스를 개선하였으며 이를 토대로 프로토타입을 완성하였다. 이를 사용자가 직접 조작하는 방식을 관찰 분석하여 평가 결과를 토대로 UI 디자인 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

지능형로봇 산업은 큰 성장 잠재력을 가진 신산업이다. 하지만 로봇을 개발하기 위해서 설계, 구현 단계에서 실제 로봇을 사용하기 어려워 시뮬레이션 환경이 많이 사용된다. Pyro 프로젝트는 파이썬 언어로 작성된 로봇 시뮬레이션 및 제어 환경이다. Player/Stage 프로젝트는 C와 C++로 작성된 로봇 시뮬레이션 및 제어 환경이다. Pyro 프로젝트는 Player/Stage 통합환경을 제공하여 Pyro를 사용하는 것과 같이 Player/Stage를 사용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 Pyro와 Stage 시뮬레이터를 이용한 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하고 적용사례 등을 서술한다.

User interface/experience and realistic game manipulation play an important role in virtual reality first-person-shooting game. This paper presents an intuitive hands-free interface of gaming interaction scheme for FPS based on user's gesture recognition and VR controller. We focus on conventional interface of VR FPS interaction, and design the player interaction wearing head mounted display with two motion controllers; leap motion to handle low-level physics interaction and VIVE tracker to control movement of the player joints in the VR world. The FPS prototype system shows that the design interface helps to enjoy playing immersive FPS and gives players a new gaming experience.

Speed-run is a gameplay style in what the player tries to finish the game as quickly as possible. The purpose of this study is to observe and analyze the difference between a normal player and a speed runner in a speed run to better understand their interaction with the game and to extrapolate the applications of the analyzed frameworks to scenarios that extent normal gameplay. For this purpose, MDA (Mechanic, Dynamic, Aesthetics) and DPE (Experience, Design, Play) were used. As a result, the average player was found to focus on aesthetics or affects while the speed runner focused on mechanics and gameplay.

Recent advances in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies have led to a significant increase in metaverse platforms. Metaverses are setting a new direction for the digital world. This paper examines the phenomenon of virtual worlds that are becoming an issue these days, focusing on [Ready Player One]. One of the common features of the metaverse platform in [Ready Player One] and the platforms currently in use is the concept of open world. This is a feature that goes beyond simply moving around in a virtual world and allows users to freely reset, participate in, and control the environment. This innovative concept is a hallmark of metaverse platforms, and it is becoming increasingly important and influential. Through this study, we focused on the [open world system] of the platform in the movie and the modern metaverse platform, and suggested and studied how the scalability of the metaverse will present a turning point in the future.
