This vision is presented in the Ubiquitous Dream Hall, an exhibition arranged by the Korean government and the information technology industry to showcase present and future information technology applications. The vision is encapsulated in the online and printed brochure of the Ubiquitous Dream Hall. The brochure could be regarded as a blueprint that includes the essential elements of the vision of the ubiquitous society, and hence it offers a useful introduction to the rhetoric promoting, justifying and explaining the u-Korea vision to Korean citizens and consumers. In this paper the visual and textual rhetoric of the brochure is described and examined to highlight the core values and premises of Korean ubiquitous technologies in their unique sociocultural context. In particular the relatively rarely used notion of technology producing emotional value will be discussed. This paper is therefore not so much a theoretical analysis of ubiquitous technology as an attempt to encourage discussion and inquiry into the sociocultural aspects of non-Western ubiquitous technology societies, aspects which have received relatively little attention until now.

With recent technological advancements, it is possible to automatically log numerical information on in-game player behavior and put this into temporal, spatial, and psychophysiological context. The latter is done using biometric evaluation techniques, like electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), and eye tracking. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss experimental results in academia and best practices in industry. This panel brings together experts from both worlds sharing their knowledge using conventional and experimental, qualitative and quantitative methods of player experience in games.
