Here we discuss four games designed to promote health and science education. All the games represent the vanguard of motion capture and skeletal tracking technologies for facilitating learning in a collaborative and exploratory environment. “Feed yer Alien” is a multi-user game created to educate younger students about nutrition. HALY is a yoga-based stress reduction scenario using a touch sensor glove. “MEteor” uses a laser-based motion tracking system and body-metaphor-based interactions to instruct in planetary astronomy. Finally, Outbreak is a group collaborative, systems-thinking game in the domain of disease transmission.

متن کاملLearning with games in a professional environment: a case study of a serious game about levee inspection
Serious games are an increasingly popular field and this has resulted in a large number of serious games so far. Despite this growth, relatively little gaming research is focused on professional environments. In particular, a lack exists in reflecting on the design and learning experiences. To take a step in this desired direction, this paper examines learning with games in professional environ...
