However, there is currently a lack of application of somatosensory interaction technology in children’s music enlightenment products. To broaden the research scope of the field of sensory interaction products, this study first analyzes music enlightenment games based on game elements to obtain the needs of children in music education; Secondly, this study utilizes fuzzy judgment matrices and purpose chains to conduct research based on user psychology, in order to capture the product’s focus during the design process. Finally, the research designs Gesture recognition algorithm and children’s somatosensory interaction music enlightenment system on the basis of somatosensory interaction. The research results indicate that the age range of users is between 28 and 45 years old, and 88 % of respondents have no or limited experience in early music education for children. When the Gesture recognition algorithm iterates to about 4000 times, it can reach the convergence state, and the loss value fluctuates around 0.1. In addition, the running time of Gesture recognition algorithm in simple background and complex background is 0.089 s and 0.083 s respectively. And the average accuracy of this algorithm is 98.81 %, with an average recall rate of 93.38 %. Finally, the vast majority of participants expressed their willingness to continue using the children’s sensory interaction music enlightenment system in view of sensory interaction and game elements, with a higher proportion of medium to low difficulty participants willing to continue. In summary, the children’s somatosensory interactive music enlightenment system proposed in the study has better performance and is widely used by users.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55997,"journal":{"name":"Entertainment Computing","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100873"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little research has investigated how the readability of these reviews impacts film performance. This paper examines the relationship between the readability of reviews on online platforms and movie market outcomes, including box office revenue, audience ratings, and popularity. We collected a dataset of 116,771 Chinese-language reviews from the Douban platform for 224 movies released in China between January 2019 and September 2022. Using natural language processing techniques, we calculated various readability metrics for each movie’s reviews. We then analyzed how these readability scores correlated with the movies’ economic and ratings performance. The results show that movies with more readable reviews tend to have higher box office returns, better audience reviews, and larger viewership. However, this effect is weakened when movies receive coverage from more authoritative official media sources or when the movies are not entertaining enough. We also find that the number of “useful” upvotes on reviews partially mediates the relationship between readability and movie outcomes. This study contributes novel insights into how the linguistic features of user-generated content can impact the success of digital entertainment products. The findings can help platforms design more effective review systems and assist studios in marketing movies online. Future work could extend this approach to other domains like book reviews or video game feedback.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55997,"journal":{"name":"Entertainment Computing","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100911"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143172294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying Game Refinement Theory (GRT), we analyze real gameplay data from the online platform Tenhou and AI self-play data by akochan, following the Riichi Competition Rules (RCR). We calculate Game Refinement (GR) values to evaluate the balance between skill and chance in Mahjong. Our findings reveal that the GR value for human players averages around 0.088, indicating high engagement, while AI players exhibit GR values within the balanced range of 0.076, all within the range of game attractiveness. Key factors such as the number of riichi, furo, and player skill levels significantly influence game balance and excitement. Importantly, even as high-level players adopt AI strategies, Mahjong remains competitive and entertaining, suggesting that AI does not diminish its inherent appeal.
