Présentation (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Une vie suffit-elle pour maîtriser des jeux tels que les échecs, le bridge, le tennis, Star Craft ou League of Legends ? Un joueur aguerri pourrait investir la majeure partie de son temps libre sans avoir exploré toutes les stratégies et possibilités de ces systèmes ludiques. Malgré la richesse des jeux classiques, les joueurs se montrent avides de changement et de nouveauté. Relativement peu documentée compte tenu

Cet article propose de montrer l’importance des designers de jeux vidéo en tant qu’agents d’évolution des jeux. Il s’appuie sur une étude dont le but principal est de mieux définir les jeux dits « casual » en utilisant le savoir professionnel des designers de jeux vidéo. En documentant ce sujet, il est apparu que les pratiques des designers de jeux sont en pleine évolution. Étant donné le peu d&

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

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, repetit

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

In this paper we investigate the possibility how to enable transfer of meaningful game information between different video games. We explore the benefits of ontologies as a solution to this problem, and present an initial version of Game Ontology, a first step towards achieving interoperability between games.

Abstract The continuous development of web services and computer infrastructures complemented by the increasing availability of game development software engines, contribute to an on-going expansion in the release of serious games (SG) in diverse areas, ranging from entertainment, cultural heritage (CH), education, artificial intelligence (AI), sociology, military to health systems [1]. In this sense SGs can be thought of as bridging culture and education with gaming. By utilizing contempo

In this paper, we will present an educational game that we developed in order to teach a chemistry lesson, namely drawing a Lewis diagram. We also conducted an experiment to gather data about the cognitive and emotional states of the learners as well as their behaviour through out our game by using three types of sensors (electroencephalography,eye t

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-u

Curriculum integration is one of the main factors in the teachers’ decision-making process when deciding to use games in formal educational contexts. Based on this observation, we aim to provide primary education teachers with a selection of (serious) games in each of the main areas of the primary education curriculum in Quebec. The taxonomy of the games selected includes Serious Games (SG), designed for educational purposes from the start, but also repurposed games, which, despite not hav
