Digital products which is concentrated on function implementation are disregarded from consumers, while those that is interacting with human and user experience based on digital contents get to high royalties and preferences currently. This trend is the same as open market based on game fields. This paper aims to find the feature of proper interaction in board game on open market and derive the key design factor of them. After many literatures were reviewed, we found how to apply interaction factors to games. We expect to develop the game with the optimal user experience to apply the proper interaction to board game in domestic open market in the future.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how three-dimensional gesture recognition technology, in children's traffic safety programs, can be an effective solution for instructing children in the safest ways to interact with traffic. In terms of traffic accidents, walking unaccompanied is the most dangerous traffic related activity for children. By using a three-dimensional serous game training program that implements gesture recognition, more accurate real life scenarios can be implemented in existing children's traffic training programs. The implementation of this technology will increase the possibility of changing the habits and attitudes of children, which in turn will lower the amount of walking related traffic accidents in children.

Perceived game realism (PGR) has recently emerged as a key concept in explaining the mental processing of digital game playing and the societal impact of digital games. However, few studies have examined its conceptualization and educational effects from an empirical viewpoint, especially in educational games. This study's participants included 292 university students in South Korea. A total of 212 questionnaires were valid and used for the analyses. They learned English expressions using a computer-based educational game and then completed questionnaires on the research variables. We investigated six factors of PGR: simulational realism (SIR), freedom of choice (FRC), perceptual pervasiveness (PEP), social realism (SOR), authenticity (AUT), and character involvement (CAI). We expected the factors to have valid effects on the university students' flow and learning satisfaction after a game-based learning (GBL) experience. Our research results demonstrated a causal relationship between SIR, FRC, CAI, and learning satisfaction. Furthermore, the indirect effects of SIR and CAI on learning satisfaction through flow were statistically significant.

This study analyzes the lobby UI of the baseball manager game based on the mobile platform and proposes an optimized lobby UI. The UI layout-based detailed icons and button interactions in the four game lobbies are compared and analyzed by comparing and analyzing the common points and differences to finally calculate the optimized UI composition. Furthermore, based on the analysis, we intend to propose a lobby UI optimized for user-centered design.

As fusion and composition of a game genre is actively achieved, game types where various genres coexist in a game increase. These games have advantage providing various funnies to game players. This study examines and analyzes game examples of fusion and composition genre that appear in the game market in accordance with such a trend. We suggested a game that can give new joy to players by application of fusion and composition of genre within the body type that can provide directly virtual experience of the given game situation on the base of this study.

Currently the gamification as marketing technique has appeared in the field non-related with game, applied to game elements. The alternate reality game pulled down the boundary between the real and the virtual has come out. New trend game has shown beyond the range of the existing game. The possibility has import into online baseball simulation game. The objective of this research is the exploratory approach to build GOMS model through three subjects to the famous pro-baseball manager game. After game playing session, three subjects' utterance with game experience was recorded. We built the goal hierarchy of goal in GOMS to pro-baseball manager game to analyze the vocabulary in three subjects' utterance. We try to find the possibility of gamification in alternate reality game interacting between the real and the virtual, and demolishing them.

The purpose of this research was to find the relationships between use of computer games, computer game addiction and middle school boy's aggression. The subjects were 511 boys of 2 middle schools in Kwang-ju, Korea. The method was self-reporting questionnaire. For data analysis, frequency distribution, percentage, Cronbach's u coefficient were estimated. ANOVA, Duncan test, Pearson's coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were used. The major findings of the research are as follows ; First, most boys(91.4%) play computer game more than once in a week. And have over 2 years computer game experience. Second, computer game addiction score and aggression score, in general, tend to be below the mean scores. Third, boys who play computer game activities of high frequency, start play computer game at earner age, spent playing longer times of computer game, and like more on-line game were addicted to the computer game more than who don't. And boys who spent playing long times on computer game were more aggressive than who don't. Fourth, the influencies of computer game activities variables on aggression were not found significantly. But the influencies of computer game addiction were found significantly.'Negative sentiment $.$ sociality' was the most influencial variable on aggression.

VR(Virtual Reality), which has drawn attention as a major area in ICT, is currently being used in various fields, including medical care, movies and architecture. Although VR technology is used in various fields, contents are mainly developed by creators where needs of users are easily left out of consideration leading to failure in forming a consensus between UI(User Interface) and UX(user experience). To identify the consumer preference and attribute level of VR game content, which is responsible for the largest proportion of VR contents, this study was designed to examine the consumers' preference properties of VR game contents through a Conjoint Analysis and derive the relative importance and weightings of each group. The study collected 166 questionnaires over a total of three months from May to July 2019, 150 of which were completed (90.4%). Statistic analysis was conducted using SPSS Ver. 25.0. The results of the study showed that the genre of the game (42.6%), number of players (24.0%), price for payment (20.3%) and game planning (13.1%) were important attributes in choosing VR games. The optimal mix of attributes was derived with new games, RPGs, multi-play and medium price (22,000 KRW). Before mentioning technology in the expectations of users who use VR game content, which is the most preferred among VR contents, this study recognized the need to have a fun and new experience through VR game content. Therefore, it is expected that this will serve as a reference for consumer behavior of VR game contents and research on VR game contents development.

This study seeks to examine the aspects of the translation and translation activities of game fan translators through the localization case of 'Dragon Age Inquision'. The interaction and experience of the game are game fan translation, giving various motivations and generating translation kinetics. The study confirmed the motivation by observing the process of game fan translation, which shows the characteristics of producers and recipients at the same time, and interviewing game fan translators. The translation of the game fan will reveal the productive aspect of the game fandom, and then I suggest a point where the game culture should discuss the fan translation.
