A dynamic web-based 3D virtual museum framework based on open data (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Continuous developments in the web and computer technologies along with an increasing availability of game engines contribute to an expansion of techniques that bridge culture and education with gaming. In addition, open linked data technologies pave the way towards the semantic web of the future by exploiting the abundance in data availability. In this work we present an innovative and content-dynamic web-based framework, which relies and exploits the rich content of distributed web cu [...]Keywords : Games, Three-dimensional displays, Engines, Cultural differences, Buildings, Virtual environments, Navigation
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
Enabling Control of 3D Visuals, Scenarios and Non-linear Gameplay in Serious Game Development Through Model-Driven Authoring (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract: Due to the absence of high-level authoring environments and support for non-technical domain experts to create custom serious games, a model-driven authoring framework is presented in this paper. Through model-driven authoring, non-technical people can manipulate the 3D visuals of their serious game, model the scenarios of the game, and even easily add non-linear narrative to the game. The different tools and methods have been implemented and are currently used to build a serious [...]Keywords : Serious game, Cyberbullying, Adaptivity, Scenario generation, Non-linear gameplay, Sandbox, Model-driven authoring
VR-based serious game designed for medical ethics training (Broacasting our studies)
Virtual Reality technology is increasingly used for game based learning application, i.e. Digital Serious Games. Simulating reality serious games improve technical skills in different fields and it is often used in medical area. In this research is described “A Day In The HOspital” (ADITHO), a serious game aiming at increase the process of decision making in young physicians through a training that reproduce a realistic clinical situation. In ADITHO the player, from a first person pe [...]Keywords : Digital Serious Game, Medical Ethics, Medical Training, Virtual Reality, Problem Based Learning, Decision Making, Physician-Patient Relationship

Creation of better template models of strategic planning and leadership control aided by business simulation games based on real-life case studies and analysis tools Abstract The business simulation games, which expose the players/managers to a huge range of learning objectives, on many occasions fail to provide a template model which can govern the desirable actions that are not always effectively linked to the repetitive cycles of arriving at decisions or confronting a result i [...]Keywords : Business simulation games, Heptalysis, CATWOE, VPEC-T, SCRS, MoSCoW
Gamification of Creativity: Exploring the Usefulness of Serious Games for Ideation (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractOrganizing for idea generation is a recurring challenge in intensive innovation contexts. The literature on ideation has reached a compelling consensus on the features that such organizational devices must possess to support sufficient creativity: learning processes and a creative climate of confidence to promote collaboration. However, current practical methodologies struggle to simultaneously realize these two features. In this paper, we explore the potential of Serious Games, a collab [...]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
Learning through playing Virtual Age: Exploring the interactions among student concept learning, gaming performance, in-game behaviors, and the use of (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractVideo games possess many unique features that facilitate learning. Meanwhile, teaching about evolution is never an easy task due to the existence of some barriers to its learning.Virtual Age, therefore, has been developed in an attempt to harness the power of gaming to increase student understanding of biological evolution. The aim of this study was to examine whether Virtual Age is effective for learning about evolution and to further explore the interplay of student concept l [...]Keywords : Virtual reality, Teaching/learning strategies, Interactive learning environments, Applications in subject areas, Secondary education
