Gamers switch their games to a new when get bored or encounter more attractive ones. Switching cost varies by gamers and depends on how they are satisfied with their current game. This study evaluates the satisfaction with current games as the miltiple basic psychological need in the self-determination theory and suggests 'needs-costs' causality research model that explain the variety of gamer's switching behavior. As the empirical test to domestic mobile gamers, the autonomy fulfillment to current game affect reversely with those of autonomy and relatedness. Those relationships between need satisfaction and perceptual switching cost vary according to their age and game genre preference. The results would be applied to understand gamers' switching behavior.

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.

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.

한 때 명사 앞에 'e'를 붙여 신기술임을 표시하곤 했다. e메일ㆍe북ㆍe러닝ㆍe비즈니스ㆍe스포츠등 많은 부분에 접두어처럼 e를 붙여 'Electronic' 개념의 첨단성을 강조했고, 이러한 유행은 'e편한 세상','e스테이션'등의 브랜드명으로도 발전했다. 이러한 e의 유행 패턴을 넘겨받은게 접두어'u'이다. 이제 u라는 접두어가 붙은 용어를 쉽게 접할 수 있다.u코리아에서부터 시작하여, u시티ㆍu북ㆍu러닝ㆍu환경ㆍu교통ㆍu행정등 대부분의 일반명사 앞에 u를 붙여서 사용하는 현상을 보게 된다. 굳이 부연 설명을 하지 않더라도 이 u가 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous)의 머리글자 u를 칭하고 있음은 일반적 상식이 되어있다. 정말 u세상이 온 것일까? 이번 모바일 핫토크에서는 2006년 첫 주제로 유비쿼터스 세상에 대해 다루고자 한다.

Huge amounts of contents are being uploaded every day on various streaming platforms. Among those videos, game and sports videos account for a great portion. The broadcasting companies sometimes create and provide highlight videos. However, these tasks are time-consuming and costly. In this paper, we propose models that automatically predict highlights in games and sports matches. While most previous approaches use visual information exclusively, our models use both audio and visual information, and present a way to understand short term and long term flows of videos. We also describe models that combine GAN to find better highlight features. The proposed models are evaluated on e-sports and baseball videos.

This study suggests a design for an analytical software program and method for multitasking e-sports viewing through the web using an eye tracking device. To fulfill this task, we designed a Window of Interest (WOI) to measure and record visually on a screen wherever numerous multitasking activities occur. In addition, we developed an OBS (Opensource Broadcaster Software) plug-in that records and streams participant viewing behavior patterns in real time. The purpose of this study is as follows. First, unlike existing tools that limit web interface recording to still images, the developed tool can record dynamically via media such as videos. Second, when several windows are processed on a screen, the tool can accurately record the gaze positions of the participants. Lastly, the tool can enhance the objective validity of the data as it can be implemented in natural situations. Therefore, this study can trace natural viewing patterns and behavior as we do not create artificial experimental environments and stimuli.

E-sports has grown steadily in recent years and has become a popular sport in the world. In this paper, we propose a win-loss prediction model of League of Legends at the start of the game. In League of Legends, the combination of a champion statistics of the team that is made through each player's selection affects the win-loss of the game. The proposed model is a deep learning model based on Bidirectional LSTM embedding which considers a combination of champion statistics for each team without any domain knowledge. Compared with other prediction models, the highest prediction accuracy of 58.07% was evaluated in the proposed model considering a combination of champion statistics for each team.

The current interests in e-sports is being extended to the fields of education these days. Professional game players, so called as 'Pro-Gamers', therefore, should be recognized as human resource for education, and the theoretical foundation for them needs to be established. This study examines informal learning styles, motivation, and interactions among professional game players in South Korea. The aim of this grounded theory study is to discover the trajectory of professional game players' experiences and explain what properties and interactions they are facing depending on the stage of the trajectory. This study conceptualizes educational meaning within and across the society of StarCraft Pro-Gamers, providing suggestions for the management of human resource using models constructed. Data was analyzed by interviewing 1 consultant, 2 directors and 9 Pro-Gamers. By analyzing the data, this study explored what learning strategies Pro-Gamers construct and apply in their trajectory as Pro-Gamers. It includes how they organize learning, how they formulate their motivation and goals, how they cooperate and compete, what curricula they adapt, how they become one of the ace players overcoming their slump, and how informal education works in practice in the interaction among members of a StarCraft Pro-Gamer team. Finally, in this paper the stage theory was presented. It is argued that when the stage of the players shifts (Stage Shifting). It also brings changes to proficiency properties, emotional properties, interactional properties and educational properties related to each stage. Stages are categorized by five levels: Enjoying, Struggling, Achieving, Slumping, and Recovering. Although each stage has its own properties, the stages are grouped by two main properties, one of which is a Communicative Stage and the other is a Practicing Stage.

스마트TV는 TV와 휴대폰, 그리고 컴퓨터 등 여러 개의 스크린을 활용하여 동영상을 볼 수 있는 TV를 의미한다. 스마트TV는 또한 콘텐츠를 인터넷에서 실시간으로 다운받아 볼 수 있고, 스포츠 결과, 사건 사고, 다른 나라의 소식, 그리고 이메일 등을 바로 확인할 수 있는 복합적인 커뮤니케이션 시스템이다. 반면에 이전의 TV는 단순한 방송을 시청하는 도구로 사용되었지만, 최근에 등장한 스마트TV는 방송을 보는 것과 참여하는 것, 그리고 선택하는 것을 포함하고 있다. 즉 TV에 네트워크 기능을 추가하며, 각종 앱을 설치하고, 이러한 앱들을 통해서 정보검색/물건구매, VOD 시청, 인터넷 게임, 소셜네트워크 사용 등 다양한 기능을 활용한다. 본 기사에서는 스마트TV 기술, 구성요소, 그리고 각 제조사별 특징을 분석하고, 스마트TV의 발전 방향 등 스마트TV의 현황 등에 대해서 정리한다.
