ADITHO - a Serious Game for Training and Evaluating Medical Ethics Skills (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract. This paper presents “A Day In The HOspital”, a Digital Serious Game aiming at providing a technological tool for both evaluating and training ethical skills of medical staff personnel. During the game, the player interprets the role of a physician who has to perform a decision-making process that involves his ethical and medical skills. Usability and sense of Presence have been assessed through a specific post-game Likert-questionnaire. In order to evaluate the potenti [...]Keywords : Digital Serious Game, Biomedical Ethics, Virtual Reality, Virtual Environments, Decision Making, Medical Training, Ethical Evaluation, Collaborative Training
BrainPlay: Serious Game, Serious Learning? (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract: Games are increasingly being used in educational contexts. The view of some game educationists is that games are able to effectively fulfil the requirements of a constructivist learning pedagogy. It is suggested, for example, that games are useful at representing complexity and often possess mechanisms that make learning more effective through mimicking behaviours required for study. This includes such elements as a call to focus, increasing levels of difficulty of skill, repetiti [...]Keywords : Game-based learning, Neuroscience, How to learn, Primary school
A Virtual Laboratory An immersive VR experience to spread ancient libraries heritage (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:This paper presents the evolving embodiments of “A Virtual Laboratory”, a VR-based videogame simulating an experiment of medical distillation in a medieval alchemy lab. Players are encouraged to acquire the knowledge needed to master the operations to be performed by consulting the digital representation of an ancient treatise on distillation hosted at the Gunnerus Library of Trondheim, The game is part of a larger project called MUBIL aimed at disseminating the knowled [...]Keywords : Serious Games, Library, Virtual Environment, Immersion, Interaction, Learning
Serious Games for Large-Scale Image Sensing (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract. The access to large-scale imagery datasets has been a signifi- cant obstacle to the success of many applications in application domains that range from 3D modelling to augmented reality, and from infrastructure inspection to urban planning. Although large collections of images already exist, from sources such as Bing Maps, Google Street View, and many photo-sharing sites, they are incomplete, inaccurate and expensive. A solution to this problem could be to leverage on large end-us [...]Keywords : Serious games methodologies, Participatory sensing

Viable Health Games: Elements for Success (Broacasting our studies)
The main purpose of this study is to identify the elements of children's health games that have a positive impact on children’s health. The investigation is done by evaluating previous health game studies concentrating on children and five health affairs (such as asthma, cancer, diabetes, nutrition and obesity). In order to do so, firstly the topic of children’s health games is explained through its roots, as it is an interdisciplinary topic pertinent with many other fields. For [...]Keywords : Health games, Children
