However, the underlying processes used in the design of effective purposeful games are understudied. Prominent among these, is the need to understand strategies that designers use to translate content into gameplay. We propose a method to elicit strategies used by designers. Our method uses protocol analysis within an experimental setup to study the purposeful game design process. This paper describes the implementation of the method, and the rationale for our decisions. The method was validated through a set of pilot studies. Through the results of these studies, we discuss the adequacy and limitations of the method and the modifications required. The results of the pilot study provide insights into the game design process. They suggest that our method is capable of revealing strategies used by designers in translating content from problem space to game elements. The main contribution of our work is the selection, adaptation and demonstration of a method to study game design practice in-situ, and thereby create a methodological foundation to discover processes and strategies for effective purposeful game design.","PeriodicalId":299252,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 6th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127645586","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}

We utilize sensors, a microcontroller, gaming technologies to create a cost effective serious game. The modular design allows it to be extended or modified easily and rapidly according to the subject's profile of cognitive and physical abilities, and also could be used as an outcome measure of cognitive training. The serious game consists of a motion-sensing controller, a rhythm game and a cognitive skills evaluation approach. First, to interact with our serious game, the elderly players are asked to perform physical actions like acupressure points' slapping to activate the motion sensing controller. Second, they need to overcome challenges from the rhythm game. The challenges are composed of three game scenarios and each one can activate a specific cognitive skill like response speed, short-term memory or working memory. During the game's playing, the serious game will record the elderly's gameplay data. With this data, we propose a gameplay data analysis approach to evaluate the elderly players' cognitive skills in short-term memory and working memory. Finally, we conducted an experiment to test the feasibility and discover phenomena which may be helpful in the improvement of our serious game in future.","PeriodicalId":299252,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 6th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"513 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116564360","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}

This means that when a child who has difficulty crossing the midline is confronted with actions that require the midline to be crossed, the child is unable to perform the action in the correct manner. When the midline is crossed spontaneously, paths in the brain are developed. This skill is essential for the advancement of various motor and cognitive skills. Children who have trouble crossing the body's midline, frequently experience difficulties with mundane, day to day activities. Understanding the challenges children who suffer from crossing the midline face, this paper focuses on the creation of an interactive game and particularly the development of an input device that could be used by children. It is postulated that the playing of an interactive game forms the required pathways to conduct movements that once did not seem comfortable or possible for the child. During development of the interactive game the guidance of occupational therapists was sought. What is unique about this project is the successful design of an affordable device, that can accurately simulate and guide the movement of the child in the process of treating their difficulty of crossing the midline. The project further provides scope for other gross and fine motor difficulties children have to be treated.","PeriodicalId":299252,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 6th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128491640","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}

As a possible solution, this paper presents EPICSAVE, a development case that yields novel training tools using multi-user virtual reality (VR) and serious game methodology. The case describes the interdisciplinary setup and iterative workflow of the development of a simulation prototype. Examples show design tools and methodologies, e.g., finding focus in medical treatment. Results from two pilot studies indicate that specifically multi-user VR may enhance paramedic training. The subsequently developed prototype offers collaborative training for two paramedic trainees and one trainer. Results from a user study with paramedic trainees indicate that experiencing a positive VR training outcome depends on high presence effects and is limited by usability issues. We provide a list of open design and usability issues that shall help to improve future integration of multi-user VR in training facilities.","PeriodicalId":299252,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 6th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115261294","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}

This work presents an immersive environment representing a supermarket, developed with the aim of training cognitive capabilities in elderlies showing first symptoms of cognitive decline. The immersive environment — the Virtual Supermarket — has been validated on a sample of healthy subjects; the usability of the system was investigated in order to highlight potential issues that needed to be improved before conducting trials on a frail population. The contributions of sense of presence, cybersickness and enjoyment, as well as spontaneous users' comments, were also taken into account. The results, obtained through both self-reports and objective performance measurements, showed a very good usability of the system. Nonetheless, the clearness of the products and the interaction modalities should be improved before starting a trial with elderly patients.","PeriodicalId":299252,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 6th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129000237","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}
