Description
The sensation of immersion can play a significant role in improving an individual's concentration when carrying out a given task. The virtual environments used by Serious Games need to be immersive in order to provide the best possible utilitarian dimension. The latter offers two overriding orientations: spreading a message and enabling training in a given field. The aim of this paper is to present how a sense of immersion can be created in users of serious gaming. The chosen approach is to explore the various components of gameplay, and in particular the virtual world it underpins.
We will begin by defining the notions of immersion, serious game and gameplay. Then, after specifying the fields in which we understand these different terms, we'll try to put into perspective how the different components of gameplay can be apprehended in an attempt to elicit a feeling of immersion in a user practicing serious gaming.
