Les jeux vidéo comme objet de recherche (Broacasting our studies)

In this paper, we describe the method we used to design the therapeutic game called Le Village aux Oiseaux, a first person shooter aiming to stimulate the attention network of seniors suffering from the Alzheimer's disease. One of the main issues we had to deal with was how to adapt games designed for adolescents and young adults, to seniors. A lack of studies and game design guidelines, as well as a lack of data on what seniors enjoy while playing made this design more complicated and, thus, in [...]Keywords : Therapeutic game, Games design, Usability, Evaluation, Methods, Serious Game, Elderly

Concevoir un serious game pour un dispositif de formation (Book reference)
