"Analysis of Feasibility to Educate People by Game"

Supervised by Dr DM Romano

Abstract

In the recent year people have paid more attention in the generation of computer games as a result they are getting more and more realistic. In the last 5 years the power of graphic cards used in PC has grown exponentially, and games are increasingly more realistic. While playing games people make decision as if they were in the real world, also games can teach people how to act in the real world. Such connection between the simulated and the real world can be exploited as a method for training people.The aim of the project is to discover how people learn and gain abilities while playing games, and how to use different games to educate people with the best result. There are 2 sections of this report, the Section 1 is based on 2 experiments on TV and PC games with 30 volunteers, and the Section 2 is holding 2 experiments on mobile phone games with 60 volunteers.
