The project aims to study aspects of the
deployment and architecture of
virtual environments as an interface to
(intelligent) multimedia information systems.
Currently, our focus is on the use of game technology for
immersive serious applications, such as climate change
and security in public space.
We have developed the XIMPEL platform (ximpel.org),
supporting interactive video and games, to prototype scenario-based
narratives and games.

motivation(s)
The expertise of David Mathews, in particular in the area of HCI,
and the deployment of web-based multimedia systems, is more than
a welcome addition to our own expertise, and needed to
achieve a sufficient level of useability and user responsiveness.
