Abstract:
Serious games are video games in which entertainment is used to further serious purposes, such as learning, training, or promoting positive behavior. The talk offers an excursus through the different types of serious games, from non-digital ones to recent examples also using modern immersive VR devices. Such excursus is complemented by showing numerous examples of serious games designed, developed, and evaluated by the HCI Lab of the University of Udine for different target users and platforms.
