Modelling physiological sensor noise to movement-based virtual reality activities

This position paper proposes the hypothesis that physiological noise artefacts can be classified based on the type of movements performed by participants in Virtual Reality contexts. To assess this hypothesis, a detailed research plan is proposed to study the influence of movement on the quality of the captured physiological signals. This paper argues that the proposed plan can produce a valid model for classif...

Active learning prototypes for teaching game AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) in computer games can enhance the player experience by providing more realistic and dynamic interactions with non-player characters and/or the game environment and is, therefore, an essential skill for game development students to acquire. In this paper, we discuss ten active learning prototypes for undergraduate game development students focusing on AI for Games. The prototypes wer...

Editorial : games and learning: consolidating and expanding the potential of an...

For a long time, Games Research suffered from what Jaakko Stenros and Annika Waern classified as the Digital Fallacy – the tendency to regard analog games as a subset of digital games rather than the other way around. Where boardgames were once associated with the past of games and learning and digital games with the future, there are now fresh insights and applications for boardgames in learning – alongside wi...

Improving the CS Curriculum of a Top-Down Videogames BA

We present a targeted curricular improvement on an interdisciplinary Videogames Bachelor of Arts, to be implemented in the 2022/23 academic year. The aim is to solve student adaptation issues with the program’s interdisciplinarity that were heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

GBL for Psychological Intervention Related Skills: What Challenges? What Paths?

In recent research, games have become an important reference with regards to learning skills with certain characteristics, as well as in promoting contemporary literacies. Games have similarly become highly relevant in the promotion of psychological well-being and mental health. Even considering this role in promoting learning in general, soft skills, motivation, cooperation, empathy, among others, in the field...
