In recent years, they have become extremely important within the scientific community and their repercussions on industry have been reflected in exponential growth in terms of their economic impact. The term serious game covers an extremely wide range of video games all with very different purposes and with many different areas of application. One of the most prolific areas is the field of education and many research papers have highlighted the benefits of video games in the classroom. Despite the complexity of educational game development, however, mainly because of the communication difficulties that exist between the technical team and the teaching team, very little research has been conducted to find a suitable design language for both parties. This article proposes the use of formall software planning within the educational games community, concretely an adaptation of UML (Unified Modeling Language) to educational games. This proposal is illustrated with a graphic adventure that the authors are developing to help second grade primary school students with their reading comprehension.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"26 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":"122239945","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}

It is expected that SG can link directly the museum content with target user groups and can fulfill their educational needs. This paper aims to present a systematic mapping study on modern museum gaming technologies and applications. More specifically, focus is given on the use of Serious Games (SGs) by the visitors during exhibition navigation and exploration of museum's cultural and educational content. Major analysis criteria and review findings include game goals, purpose of use, scope, user acceptance and educational effectiveness. A pool of 48 quality literature publications were set under examination. It was found that most solutions were game-based than play-based and that both genres had educational benefits on offer. Also, the frequency of relevant publications per year was increasing from year 2009 up to 2015. Regarding scope, studied applications were split almost equally among education, culture and arts, while the overwhelming majority were targeted to the general public and not teachers, students or parents specifically. Those findings are of particular importance for museum curators, digital cultural content creators, pedagogical engineers and museum interface designers.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"3 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":"126366883","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}

Skynetz: A Playful Experiential Robotics Simulator Skynetz:一个好玩的体验机器人模拟器

Its focus lies on the visualization of a probabilistic robot localization algorithm considering noise in the sensors and actuators of the robot on the one hand, as well as an environment filled with obstacles which damage the robot on contact on the other hand. The goal of the simulation is training students on the intricacies of the algorithm and to develop a notion on the impact of the considered factors such as the degree of sustained sensory noise. In order to facilitate learning and promote exploration, we embed a game mode that conveys the basic interactions with the simulator and the factors shaping the robot's behavior. In the game, the player helps the simulated robot to reach its destination with as little damage as possible. This is done by setting waypoints for the robot by adjusting the parameters of the deployed localization algorithm as well as the quality of sensors and the accuracy of the robots movements. By playing with these parameters, the user playfully learns their effects, which are visualized in 3D - contrary to the hard mathematical approach presented in books. SkyNetz also has the capacity to communicate with a real robot, to show its current position and position estimates. In the long run, this will provide the foundation for novel augmented reality games. The paper includes a general introduction to the topic of interactive robot simulation, background on the specific problem of localization estimation, the presentation of our approach and the results from a small user study.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"137 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":"127433803","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}

Researchers have studied a variety of factors that can be used for taking individual differences among players into consideration. Although research work indicates that the intelligence levels according to the theory of Multiple Intelligences may be a promising direction to follow, this direction is among the least explored ones. The research presented in this paper explores the applicability of the theory of Multiple Intelligences for personalized and player-centered (serious) game design using empirical evidence. Our results show that there is a correlation between gamers' intelligences, their preference for games, and game mechanics. To release the results to the game development community, a kind of recommendation system has been developed that provides information about appropriate and non-appropriated game mechanics for different intelligence dimensions.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"25 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":"114406028","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}
