The paper presents a framework for developing real-time multi-user board games and applications in augmented reality. Recently, increase the environment to playing game in augmented reality with advancement of computing ability improvement and wireless networking technique of mobile device. While the trend of utilizing this kind of games is creasing, the facts that there is a shortage of games whose contents are attractive to users. In this paper we propose a framework that enables game content developers to develop new game contents base on augmented reality easily and quickly. This framework is an automatic service that can augment in various methods by using the supported marker recognition service. Therefore game contents developers do not need to know about either augmented reality technique or the inner process structure. The framework also supports special functions and various interaction interfaces for augmented reality board game and components of the board game we can implement. These enable developers to accomplish all the necessary components and structures of the board game more easily.

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.

The objective of this study is to find out how reality game shows, the relatively new television genre, produce a sense of reality and what differences we can find from the reality they produce in compared to that of traditional reality television shows. The researchers anaylized , aired in 2013and 2014 by tvN, with focus on the show's studio setting and characters in the show. During this process, the 'game elements' and 'reality factor' were considered to be the key words. Finally, the reality produces was examined from two aspects: the production and reception. As a result, we found that the reality it produces is more than just a imitation of the real world. It shuttles between the game world and real world, and encourages audiences to recognize the plural realities in our postmodern society. We hope this study stimulates further researches on reality game show genre, which had rarely gained academic attention.

This essay analyzes space in augmented reality games, and attempts to offer space analytic standards of mobile augmented reality games in regards to space in existing games. This article proposes categorizing criteria based on the following factors: Analysis of space in existing games, Jason Jerald's Three Virtual Space Horizon Categories, interaction between virtual world and real world, and Lavroff's Three deciding factors of reality perception in virtual reality. It is meaningful that the analysis criteria of the Augmented Reality game space is presented through this analysis.

This study investigated an evolutionary process of In-game Animation and researched on the action of realization establishing virtual reality. In-game Animation, functioning as contents to visualize games, is responsible for conveying information to achieve goals of games. In-game Animation which is affected by graphic technology was initiated with setting up indicators by dot and line. Followed by the development of technology, In-game Animation has pursued realization, after passing through processes of iconography, materialization, and dimensionalization. The realization of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is very important to provide the experience of immersion, as it forms a sense of presence through such visual tactility. The process to create meaning of reality provides gamers with experiences, and leads them to expand senses through visual perception and finally absorb the virtuality as reality. Therefore, the image of In-game Animation does not simply imitate the real world but creates meaning of reality by establishing space with various factors such as characters and background along with the story, under the premise of virtuality. The realization of In-game Animation is not limited to blindly portray a realistic image. In addition, the process of realization pursued by In-game Animation is an action to immerse in the game rather than a mere product of technological development.

In this paper, we propose the system that simultaneously controls objects in virtual reality and objects in real environments using brain waves. We propose a system that measures brain waves to grasp the user's concentration and quantifies them to raise or lower virtual and real objects. We implemented a web-based virtual reality system and an embedded system based on a raspberry pi for test of design. It was confirmed that the control of virtual and real objects is possible using BCI. The result was that it was possible to develop various contents using this.

This study investigates the merits of incorporating augmented reality in mobile games and proposes a mobile game application that combines augmented reality technology with gaming. The proposed study postulates that augmented reality technology can be employed for developing games on smartphones. The proposed application involves the implementation of a 3D virtual object in the real world by incorporating a target image. The proposed application also employs an intuitive interface with simplified manipulation based on touch, and allows players to collect and combine items for acquiring new items, thus making it elementary to pass the game stages. Furthermore, a ranking system has been introduced in the proposed application for enhancing the amusement factor of the game. The novelty of the proposed application lies in the fact that the virtual button function has been employed for combining physical and virtual objects while playing the game, without incorporating location-based services.

The latest convergence of broadcasting and communication makes the boundary between medias be ambiguous. It pursues the new type of culture that the unspecified many participants seek the satisfaction for the same target in an realtime environment. ARG(Alternative Reality Game) is a new alternate real game created by media convergence and it processes the more realistic interactivity between users through ARS, SMS, BLOG, Cafe and Messages. This paper analyzes the implementation, design, and construction schemes of ARG in the side of the human thinking and media. We also propose the evolution and role of the broadcasting by combining broadcasting for the activation of ARG.

Recently, interest in metaverse, which creates new value in the real world, has increased. In order to make it easy to experience such a metaverse, we have developed an experiential metaverse AR game in which users take the lead in exploring the environment and enjoying content based on landmarks. Important features of the metaverse include connectivity with the real world, interactivity, and digital currency. The game seeks to extend daily life through AR and satisfies interaction through real-time chat and team competition. Finally, digital currency is built through a store system. It is implemented as a mobile game and can be accessed at any time if there is a smartphone, increasing accessibility.

Due to the problem of matching between virtual world space and real-world space, the reality of augmented reality content is rather low. There are many reasons for this result, firstly virtual object is rendered without considering relation between real-world space and virtual world space. Secondly, virtual objects rely too much on the marker to reduce reality. We propose two schemes to improve the reality of augmented reality, one is people occlusion, the other is to reduce the dependence of virtual objects on the marker.
