VR systems do not readily support team collaboration because they tend to focus on individual experiences and do not easily facilitate naturalistic collaboration. MR environments provide solutions for collaborative experiences, but establishing smooth communication between hardware components and software modules faces a major hurdle. This paper presents the background to and main challenges of an ongoing project on collaboration in an MR lab, aiming to design a serious 'team collaboration' game. To this end, we utilized a common game engine to engineer a cost-effective solution that would make the game playable in a configuration operated by WorldViz and Volfoni equipment. Evaluation of various solutions in the development process found a Unity 3D Cluster Rendering Beta solution to be the most cost-effective and successful.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"238 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123054387","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}

Main focus is on sharing a two-stage in-action and on-action emergent model for evaluating the use of ICT (serious games and creative expression) in healthcare and learning intervention. The model, first published in 2005, being emergent, has evolved to suggest being applicable beyond existing contexts and situations e.g. informal, non-formal and formal. Thus, to advance the model, third party review, applied use and assessment toward discussions of pluses, minuses and possible improvements is welcomed. Additionally, within the model a secondary emphasis argues briefly, but importantly, how researching applied contemporary ICT requires an additional specific research ethic consideration. To position these foci, the author's research is first introduced.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130354724","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}

Many studies have shown their benefits in different fields, using computers and mobile devices, among others. Nevertheless, we have not found in the literature any comparative research between these two platforms. Is one of the platforms more effective than the other to improve the learning process with videogames? In this paper we present the research results by using \"The courtesy of Spain\", a videogame created to teach its namesake classical theater play's plot by the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega. The videogame was designed to be played in a same way on computers and mobile devices. A quasi-experiment was carried out with control group and experimental group. 141 students between 9 and 11 years old from a school in the Autonomous Community of Madrid (Spain), with no previous knowledge of the play participated in the experiment. The experimental group played on a tablet, while the control group played on a computer. The researchers' first impressions were that the best results would be on tablets due to their ease of use and their great reception among young people. However, the results show statistically significant differences in favor of the computer. They reveal that: 1) the device on which an educational videogame is played is important for its effectiveness and 2) perhaps, in the field of educational videogames, the urgency of replacing the devices that is patent in the industry is not backed up by a greater effectiveness of them.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124622761","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}

They occur in a huge variety with different traits. In a lot of genera, the female mosquitoes suck blood from hosts for being able to reproduce. As a result, mosquitoes are a major vector of infectious diseases. For tracking down their prey, mosquitoes are equipped with specialised senses.We present a serious game in which the player adapts the perspective of a mosquito, thereby understanding the world from a different angle. Accordingly, the player controls the mosquito from a first person view. His objective is finding prey and sucking blood relying on a mosquito's senses. By means of a survey we show that the simulation is suited for gaining knowledge about the mosquito's hunting behaviour.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128044233","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 ability to accurately synchronize lip movement to audio speech is an important aspect in the believability of the character. In this paper we propose a simple rule-based lip-syncing algorithm for virtual agents using the web browser. It works in real-time with live input, unlike most current lip-syncing proposals, which may require considerable amounts of computation, expertise and time to set up. Our method generates reliable speech animation based on live speech using three blend shapes and no training, and it only needs manual adjustment of three parameters for each speaker (sensitivity, smoothness and vocal tract length). Our proposal is based on the limited real-time audio processing functions of the client web browser (thus, the algorithm needs to be simple), but this facilitates the use of web based embodied conversational agents.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128588488","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}

Narrative causal relations are difficult to maintain when the user can freely explore the physical environment. In this paper we focus on multiple interlaced narratives, and the relation among narrative design, physical space and interaction, and its influence on the players'' exploration mode, story comprehension, and immersion. We conducted an in-situ user study with YoWay, a locative narrative app that presents three intertwined historical fictions in the Glories area of Barcelona. Results show how users were able to combine linear navigation with simultaneous exploration of spatially close contents from interrelated storylines, achieving a good understanding of the story and engaging with the experience.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121295271","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}
