Summary:

The VR community has used previous work in 3D graphics and simulation to advance the field and
increase the number of people working in VR. With the influence of the video game industry, VR is
now expanding its reach and impact. To stay relevant, researchers should focus on game
development, particularly serious games that combine education and entertainment. Close
collaboration between design and engineering teams ensures effective integration of educational
elements. The positive effects of serious games, like America's Army, highlight the need for a science
of games and a research agenda addressing infrastructure, cognitive game design, and immersive
experiences. Overcoming challenges in game production requires transforming the process with
open-source engines, streaming advancements, and cognitive approaches. Through research and
development, the VR community can shape the future of serious and entertainment games, driving
innovation in diverse domains. (138words)

Summary:

Ubiquitous technologies, like smartphones, are rapidly spreading. Phone calls have become
secondary as smartphones offer sophisticated computing, context sensing, and diverse apps.
Augmented reality (AR) enriches human-context interaction by overlaying virtual content on camera
views. Hundreds of AR apps exist, spanning tourism, shopping, education, and entertainment. Mobile
AR, enabled by smartphones, gathers contextual information seamlessly. Developed countries face
rising obesity and declining physical activity. To tackle this, smartphones and mobile AR create fun
exercise games (exergames). This paper focuses on mobile exergames like G eoBoids, Walk2Build, and
SmartRabbit. It explores experiences in developing Calory Battle AR, presenting two prototypes with
and without Unity 3D game engine. Usability studies and findings of Calory Battle AR are discussed.

Summary:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) decode brain activity to control virtual or physical objects. BCIs have
applications in gaming, virtual experiences, and controlling home devices. They benefit both healthy
and clinical populations, with potential uses in rehabilitation and assistive devices.
Neurophysiological signals can be recorded using methods like electroencephalogram (EEG) or
electrocorticography (ECoG). Various neurological control techniques, such as sensorimotor rhythms
(SMR) and visual evoked potentials (VEP), can be incorporated into BCIs. Game engines, APIs, and
virtual/augmented reality libraries enable the creation of user-friendly BCI applications for research
and personal use. (89 words)
