A place for people with an interest in serious games
Serious games (SGs) or persuasive games are computer and video games used as persuasion technology or educational technology. They can be similar to educational games, but are often intended for an audience outside of primary or secondary education.
GDCTV presents this session from 2005's Serious Games Summit entitled "Assessment for Interactive Training Applications," in which a panel of serious game experts discuss how state data is captured and how assessment is being used in serious games.
This session of GDCTV features medical neuroscientist David Warner sharing his experience and discussing some of the work he has done in next-generation human computer interfaces, systems, and cognition in "Riding the Cutting Edge of Distributed Intelligence."
Just updated, the Game Developer Conference's Proceedings Archives now features proceedings from last year's GDC in San Francisco, as well as last year's Serious Games Summit in Washington D.C.
GDCTV features representatives from Carnegie Mellon University and the 44th Engine Co. of the New York Fire Department presenting their experiences on the HazMat Hotzone project in this case study.
