Abstract: "Serious games
can help
to improve efficacy of
motor
rehabilitation
especially in a home environment. We introduce
"
The Sorcerer's Apprentice"
,
a serious game
improving strength
and mobility of the shoulder area
targeting
support
of
supervised
phy
siotherapy
.
It proposes a customizable
environment
for
supplementary exercises in the context of rehabilitation for
a
one
-
sided Shoulder
-
Impingement
-
Syndrome.
We
introduce
the
medical background of the shoulder impingement syndrome,
how the game aims to im
prove the health status of the patients
through
several options of
exercises and how these exercises are
embedded into the flow of game play. We will further explain
how motivational factors are implemented and which additional
factors were relevant in the
design
process. As the game makes
use of motion tracking for input, we utilized
Microsoft Kinect as
a low
-
cost IO
device suitable for a
home
-
environment use case. "
Abstract: "In recent years, there has been a dramatic
proliferation of research concerned with game based learning
and intelligent system
s
. Although the intelligent agent bas
ed
system
has existed for many years, only recently its surge of
mainstream popularity
motivated
researchers to acknowledge
its educational value. With
the increasing
usage of game based
learning, reliability requirements for intelligent system
s
or
multi
-
a
gent system
s
have become more critical. Quiz game is
one of the game
types
which is easy to develop and not
restrict
ed
by
any specific subject
and any people
. And the
m
ulti
-
agent based system is flexible and saving resource
. Hence
we integrate the quiz gam
e into multi
-
agent system
s
, we called
it m
ulti
-
agent based quiz game
and also d
evelop a framework
to
build personalized
assessment game
. For the instructor, they
can
understand
student's playing situation and experience
. For
the students, they have p
ersona
lized
assessment game
.
In this
paper, we
proposed
a framewor
k
of multi
-
agent based Quiz
-
MASter
, and describe each service from each agent briefly."
"In the first two parts i and ii of this series, I put together an initial model for node.js multiplayer tic-tac-toe game then bolted in a backbone.js controller framework, which allows clients to Backbone.Model.sync model states to backing server. This post completes the game implementation by adding asynchronous plumbing for synchronizing game state amongst game clients."
"HTML5 is the new shiny thing, and there's a lot of evangelism going on about it. The improvement process is rapid (too much so? that's another blog post), and browser vendors are trying to get the game makers in bed with them, some with means of money, some with fame."
