plan(s) -- 2013/2014

 As indicated in the previous report, after giving a course creative ethic(s), co-inspired by an invited talk I gave for the workshop Innovation at the Verge at the Lorentz Center and given my (recent) interest in (mobile) AR, I will be looking (more in-depth) into applying AR in serious games on mobile platform(s), see: run.eliens.net

Our research aims at studying aspects of the deployment and architecture of virtual environments as an interface to (intelligent) multimedia information systems. Our focus is on the use of game technology for immersive serious applications, addressing, for example, climate change and security in public space. We have developed the ximpel platform (ximpel.net), supporting interactive video and games, to prototype scenario-based narratives and games. Current interests: serious games and (mobile) AR, see ar.eliens.net

My primary focus has been on what may be considered the foundations of serious games, see for references auxiliary and etcetera, by studing literature concerning complex systems, behavioral modifications and (evolutionary) game theory. For the next period, I intend to continue these studies, hoping to get a more solid graps on these topics.
