Since the launch of Pokémon GO in 2016, the game has been loved for many users. Although the number of Pokémon GO users has declined, lots of users still enjoy the location-based augmented reality game. From the perspective of game properties and Use & Gratifications theory, this paper investigated the antecedents of continuance intention of Pokémon GO. A total of 258 responses from Pokémon Go users was collected by an online survey. The result of regression analysis showed that attitude toward game characters, attitude toward random game elements, social interaction, competition, and physical activity increased continuance intention. Perceived cost, however, decreased continuance intention. Implications for researchers and practitioners were discussed.

K/DA is a K-pop virtual idol based on the game character. This study analyzed the creation process, characteristics and existential meaning of virtual idols from the perspective of Pataphysics. K/DA is a character with both characteristics of game character and K-pop girl group. Also, virtual character and real idol share the body through motion capture and augmented reality(AR). As a result, K/DA crosses virtual and reality, and at the same time becomes a pataphysical subject that does not belong to either virtual or reality. K/DA is suggested a third zone where digital subjects will be located in the future.

게임의 평가모델은 게임의 성공적 개발을 위하여 다양한 방향으로 연구되어 왔다. 특히 게임의 사전 평가는 게임의 성공을 견인하는 중요 요소로 인식되어 왔다. 다양한 장르의 게임을 평가하는 연구가 있어왔으나 4차 산업을 대두로 기술적 발달에 근거한 가상현실 게임과 증강 현실 게임 평가 항목은 연구 결과가 많지 않았다. 특히 증강 현실 게임에 중점하여 평가 항목을 연구한 결과는 전무한 상태이며 온라인 게임 등 다른 장르의 게임 평가항목을 이용하여 왔다. 특히 게임의 재미 요소를 근간으로 하는 평가 항목을 적용하기에는 어려움이 따르며 장르 및 플렛폼에 따라 평가 항목이 다양하여 증강 현실에 적합한 평가 항목을 개발하여 이를 적용하여 유용성을 확인한다.

$Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ Go is an augmented reality (AR) game developed jointly by Niantic and Nintendo. It's a new type of augmented reality role-playing game (RPG) where AR elements like location information, visual recognition technology and GPS navigation technology are integrated with the intellectual property of the popular $Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ anime. The global success of $Pok{\acute{e}}mon$ Go can be attributed to the innovative incorporation of AR technologies into the game but also to the utilization of the Pokemon story which had been developed for 20 years. In summary, Pokemon Go is the fruitful result of a successful storytelling that combines the humanistic imagination of a popular, cultural archetype and the engineering imagination of AR game technologies.

Recently, he trend of the game culture have been changed rapidly from offline games to online games. This change drives the advancement of online games, but it causes the standardization of the game culture. Few years ago, there was a rising interest in board games. Board cafes, place for playing board games, are spread over Korea rapidly because board games give players connectedness through direct social interactions that is lacking from online games. However, the board games lose their popularity because of their complex rules and expensive cost. In this paper, we would like to develop the system using Augmented Reality(AR) that could easy the problems caused by the complex rules of the board games.

This study suggests a methodology for automatically extracting placing information from 2D reinforced concrete details drawings and generating a 3D reinforcement placing model to develop a mobile augmented reality for bar placing work. To make it easier for users to acquire placing information, it is suggested that users takes pictures of structural drawings using a camera built into a mobile device and extract placing information using vision recognition and the OCR(Optical Character Registration) tool. In addition, an augmented reality app is implemented using the game engine to allow users to automatically generate 3D reinforcement placing model and review the 3D models by superimposing them with real images. Details are described for application to the proposed methodology using the previously developed programming tools, and the results of implementing reinforcement augmented reality models for typical members at construction sites are reviewed. It is expected that the methodology presented as a result of application can be used for learning bar placing work or construction review.

ICT 기술발전으로 웨어러블 디바이스(wearable device)와 증강현실(augmented reality: AR) 및 가상현실(virtual reality: VR)등은 차세대 게임 산업에 새로운 재미와 가치를 부여할 기술로 주목받고 있다. 특히 가상현실 기술은 몰입(immersion)이라는 경험적 속성을 가지고 있어, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 창출된 3차원 가상공간으로 사용자의 오감 경험을 확장하고 공유함으로서 공간적, 물리적 제약에 의해 현실 세계에서는 직접 경험하지 못하는 상황을 간접 체험할 수 있도록 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가상증강현실을 이용하여 유저와 상호작용하고, 사용자에게 현실적인 공포감을 줄 수 있도록 하는 오감 체험 공포 시뮬레이션을 개발하였다. 이 체험 시뮬레이션 게임은 Eon Studio 개발툴과 JavaScript를 이용하여 구현되었으며, Eon I-CUBE안에서 1인칭 주인공 시점으로 게임을 진행하도록 하였다.

This paper introduces a mobile augmented visualization technology that augments a three-dimensional virtual human body on a mannequin model using two pose(position and rotation) tracking sensors. The conventional camera tracking technology used for augmented visualization has the disadvantage of failing to calculate the camera pose when the camera shakes or moves quickly because it uses the camera image, but using a pose tracking sensor can overcome this disadvantage. Also, even if the position of the mannequin is changed or rotated, augmented visualization is possible using the data of the pose tracking sensor attached to the mannequin, and above all there is no load for camera tracking.

Recently, research on augmented games as a new game genre has attracted a lot of attention. An augmented game overlaps virtual objects in an augmented reality(AR) environment, allowing game players to interact with the AR environment through manipulating real and virtual objects. However, it is difficult to release existing augmented games to ordinary game players, as the games generally use very expensive and inconvenient 'backpack' systems: To solve this problem, several augmented games have been proposed using mobile devices equipped with cameras, but it can be only enjoyed at a previously-installed location, as a ‘color marker' or 'pattern marker’ is used to overlap the virtual object with the real environment. Accordingly, this paper introduces an augmented game, called augmented galaga based on traditional well-known galaga, executed on mobile devices to make game players experience the game without any economic burdens. Augmented galaga uses real object in real environments, and uses scale-invariant features(SIFT), and Euclidean distance to recognize the real objects. The virtural aliens are randomly appeared around the specific objects, several specific objects are used to improve the interest aspect, andgame players attack the virtual aliens by moving the mobile devices towards specific objects and clicking a button of mobile devices. As a result, we expect that augmented galaga provides an exciting experience without any economic burdens for players based on the game paradigm, where the user interacts with both the physical world captured by a mobile camera and the virtual aliens automatically generated by a mobile devices.

The popularization of smart phones is increasing interest in individual customized service and various systems have been changing in order to meet such changes to satisfy facilities such as museums. Museum has the element of view, contained purpose of history education, also has role as institution that should have fun and education. In order to achieve this purpose, it is necessary to arouse sufficient interest in cultural assets, In parallel, to provide various contents of cultural assets is essential. Therefore, to provide an efficient viewing cultural assets services in this study make a study to effective method for combined education and evaluation using Unity3D engine and SDK for Vuforia called Augmented Reality development.
