Spatial relationships are built through interactions with physical objects; however, in computational/online environments, these change to bi-dimensional media and computer-assisted design comprised of 3D representations viewable through a flat screen. Due to spatial immersion and interaction limitations, a traditional 2D and 3D approach presents challenges to partially sighted, blind, and sighted individuals. This paper presents the prototyping of a co-design Augmented Reality (AR) authoring tool by recruiting inclusive emerging affordances of consumer-level AR technologies within the context of current e-learning provisions in subject matters, including inclusive design, engineering design, game hardware design, and health sciences. This work has been inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic that has shown the need to level the field in inclusive design for teaching a subject typically oriented to the sighted. Our prototype allows users to create e-learning content for visualization, interaction, collaboration, and inclusive learning. Future work will investigate our tool's impact on skills development and content creation.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133888931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the amount of user information being collected and shared by these gaming apps as well as the demographics of its users such as minors, it is critical to examine these apps' privacy vulnerabilities. In this study, we reviewed and analyzed 20 popular gaming apps' privacy policies and evaluated their explicit privacy protections or lack thereof. In particular, we examined if any specific privacy protections are provided to vulnerable groups like children and teenagers. Results found that although these gaming apps have privacy protections listed in their policies, only a few of them explicitly identify individual's consent and choice. Also, most of the privacy protections on minors like children and teenagers provided by these gaming apps are only at a basic level. Results from this study can provide guidance to both app users and app developers on the measures that each app is already taking on privacy protections, as well as identifying the vulnerabilities and potential privacy risks that currently exist. Furthermore, it can provide guidance for implementing appropriate privacy policies to protect users' personal data.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127661488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A well-designed hint system can help balance the difficulty of the puzzle game and offer the player a better game experience. However, according to the questionnaire-based survey and the industrial investigation we made for puzzle games, two significant problems with the current hint systems are discovered: a) Most hint systems are rule-based. Many players consider that the timing of the hints cannot match the actual states of their game flows. b) In addition, the presentation modes of the hints are sometimes too abstract or too straightforward to follow and even leak the upcoming puzzles. Hence, to improve the game experience for the players when involved in puzzle games, we design and develop a multimodal-based adaptive hint system to help players get through the puzzles more smoothly with timely hints that are presented in proper modes. To test the system's effectiveness and usefulness, we conducted a control experiment based on three puzzle games, with a control group playing the original games and an experimental group playing the games with the multimodal-based adaptive hint system. The experimental results showed that our system has a significant effect in helping players improve their game experience and balance the difficulty of the game.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"588 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116271516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cricothyroidotomy is a complex procedure involving motor, psychological, and decision-making skills, amply used during the COVID-19 pandemic. This procedure requires extensive training, and simulators facilitate teaching advanced airway management techniques to health care professionals. However, upper airway simulators are expensive and limited to specialized facilities inaccessible during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-laboratory practices shifted to online synchronous and asynchronous teaching. Such a scenario sparked interest in makerspace technologies for creating cost-effective simulators. This paper presents the prototyping of a cricothyroidotomy simulator through a Design Thinking approach to ideate a cost-effective solution that contains all 3D printed structures properly representing the real anatomical parts needed for the procedure. Additionally, we propose an augmentation of the 3D printed model employing Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance how information about the procedure can be accessed without relying on traditional instruction materials. Our preliminary results have led to a makerspace cricothyrotomy simulator used in training sessions in conferences and workshops and the prototyping of an AR complementary tool.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127019535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With respect to the programming design pattern, the current industry standard is to use Object-Oriented Design (OOD). While the demand for efficient game applications is increasing, applications developed using OOD are struggling to efficiently utilize the available computing resources and consequently meet the minimum frame-rate requirements. A design pattern that may be able to cope with the current and future requirements of resource-intensive game applications is the Data-Oriented Design (DOD), which focuses on the efficient CPU memory utilization. The main difference between OOD and DOD is related to the way data is organized and accessed. While DOD is able to efficiently utilize the cache memory, programming using the data-oriented design is perceived as much more complex compared to proagamming applications using object-oriented design. In this paper, we will first develop a simple game application using both programming design patterns. Thereafter, we evaluate the performance of both implementations with respect to the overall execution time, CPU and memory utilization. Furthermore, we will develop the corresponding multi-threading versions to explore how the memory is utilized when multiple cores access data from shared cache memory. The results of the empirical evaluation show that the code sections that use DOD perform significantly faster than the corresponding parts implemented using OOD for both single-threaded and multi-threaded applications. The maximum observed speedup of 13.25 times demonstrates that games and applications developed using DOD can utilize the available resources more efficiently.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133658794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the issues associated with limited staff who are overworked. Such a scenario also disrupted the research and development of socially assistive robots (SARs) as access to care facilities and the elderly was restricted. The restriction sparked creative thinking and innovation aimed at addressing the challenges introduced by the pandemic. Such is the case for developing Aether™, a SAR designed to monitor falls and engage in playful activities with users. This paper presents the use of game technologies to develop a Virtual reality digital twin simulator for overcoming the lack of access to LTCFs and the elderly by creating synthetic data that simulates the robot's behavior, interactions with the environment, and virtual avatars, before its deployment. Our approach additionally allows overcoming the limitation with traditional datasets for training machine learning where depicted people and actions are not representative of the elderly population. Our preliminary results indicate that combining DTs and VR expedites robot development. We tested and compared the robot navigation, person detection, and inspection behavior while observing COVID-19 restrictions.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116242152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Be-sides, self-service kiosks are also used frequently for educational purposes, for example, to inform visitors at certain exhibits in museums. Furthermore, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has proven to be able to support learning experiences in such cases. However, being used unsupervised and by visitors novel to VR, the experience of these VR self-service E-learning kiosks can suffer greatly besides health- and safety-related challenges. In this paper, we explore the use of assistance systems to support users in the mentioned use-case. We propose a component-based assistance system design for VR. We divide the assistance functions within our system into direct and indirect assistance functions, depending on whether a user may actively trigger them or the functions trigger automatically based on given pre-conditions. We demonstrate the feasibility of our concepts by a reference implementation and discuss the limitations and possibilities of our resulted system. We show that our system meets the users' needs and can proactively support them before potential challenges occur.","PeriodicalId":200252,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Games, Entertainment, Media Conference (GEM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132687357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
