Augmented Reality (AR) has become a popular technology for both the public and industries. Serious Games (SG) incorporating pedagogical elements for learning, training, or inform. The creation of SG can use AR techniques for their development, with the prospect of new possibilities due to this integration. A Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) allows a synthesized view of research carried out in the...
The use of smartphones for activities like watching movies and playing games has become commonplace because of the flexibility that devices offer citizens in their increasingly overloaded daily routines. As a consequence, the market has explored the creation of accessories to enhance the user experience in performing these tasks. The present work selected as context the practice of watching movies...
The inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market can be a difference in the quality of life of individuals, and to participate equally in society, respecting the rights and obligations is still a challenge. This article presents the development of an immersive system and the evaluation of it focusing on the empowerment of people with intellectual disabilities to labor inclusion. The research...
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a behavioral syndrome with different etiologies, deeply affecting the process of child development. Children with ASD have some characteristics in common such as the inability to relate to other people, leading to isolation, communication disorders and obsessive concern for what is unchanging. In addition, these people may experience learning difficulties in various...
In this work, we present an interactive musical game for children, developed using the Unreal Engine 4, with gestural control using the Leap Motion device. To each musical note is assigned a specific gesture to be played with the hand and fingers, so that a virtual puppet can dance according to the music, stimulating the improvement of motor control of children while playing, as well as the learning...
In motor rehabilitation, the search for better methodologies is intense. In parallel, natural interaction technologies are considered to be a nice approach for rehabilitation guidance, as they can provide content for visual feedback in augmented reality. This paper describes an augmented reality physiotherapy rehabilitation system called ARkanoidAR, which was implemented using the Microsoft Kinect...
This paper provides the motivation for the design of a web-based planning tool called AgentDesign, a description of its components, and a discussion of elementary students' ability to use it for creating games. The planning tool presented in this paper was used to engage elementary students in an activity to design and then create a video game using an agent-based programming environment. The design...
In this paper we describe how to use a Game-Based Learning (GBL) approach to help end-user programmers to develop Computational Thinking (CT) skills. CT represents a framework consisting of a set of skills such as: abstraction, decomposition and more in general problem solving expressed in a computational form (algorithmic thinking) that can be easily formalised into a computer program. Those skills...
In open-ended tasks where a program's behavior cannot be specified in advance, exploratory programming is a key practice in which programmers actively experiment with different possibilities using code. Exploratory programming is highly relevant today to a variety of professional and end-user programmer domains, including prototyping, learning through play, digital art, and data science. However,...
Advances in technology offer new opportunities for a better understanding of how different disorders affect motor function. In this paper, we explore the potential of an augmented reality (AR) game implemented using free hand and body tracking to develop a uniform, cost-effective and objective methods for evaluation of upper extremity motor dysfunction in different patient groups. We conducted a study...
Advances in technology offer new opportunities for a better understanding of how different disorders affect motor function. Our aim is to explore the potential of augmented reality (AR) using free hand and body tracking to develop engaging games for a uniform, cost-effective and objective evaluation of upper extremity motor dysfunction in different patient groups. Based on the insights from a study...
Given a textual description of an image, phrase grounding localizes objects in the image referred by query phrases in the description. State-of-the-art methods address the problem by ranking a set of proposals based on the relevance to each query, which are limited by the performance of independent proposal generation systems and ignore useful cues from context in the description. In this paper, we...
The profusion of embedded information and communication technologies makes them increasingly used in educational processes. Through convergent media in the digital world and its different approaches, new possibilities for education emerge. It is sought from the qualitative approach and the exploratory and descriptive study, this article present possibilities to incorporate transmedia strategies, into...
When looking at an image, humans shift their attention towards interesting regions, making sequences of eye fixations. When describing an image, they also come up with simple sentences that highlight the key elements in the scene. What is the correlation between where people look and what they describe in an image? To investigate this problem, we look into eye fixations and image captions, two types...
Gamification, which is the use of game techniques in contexts not related to games, has been increasingly used in the educational area to motivate and engage students. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the usability and the user experience of gamified educational systems. For this, a heuristic evaluation using the ergonomic criteria as guideline was conducted in 10 different gamified educational...
In this paper we report on our study of the performance of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents in performing tasks that are illustrative for human Sensor Operators (SOs) in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs). Our hypothesis is that the descriptive and predictive qualities of the agent's learning process potentially allow us to identify human task requirements, training needs, selection...
This work aims to present the planning, development (methodology) and implementation (technologies used) of the learnning object (LO) SegurIdade Virtual, as well as highlighting the learning experiences with the object. The material was built in game format and seeks to develop, in a playful way, the critical thinking of the elderly public for the safe use of the internet. The object was builded based...
While the multi-million-dollar videogame industry sees constant improvements in visuals and processing power with every new processor, gaming console, or graphics card release, is there any avenue to pursue new innovations in this discipline? One answer lies in the introduction of procedural music in videogames as an innovative means of overcoming the repetitive nature of traditionally composed game...
The contemporary world has been “dominated” by Information and Communication Technologies (TIC) in the various social sectors, especially in the educational sector. However, it is noted that not only the presence of the technologies in the school, it is necessary that these are thought and articulated with the education, being placed in its favor. Thus, the purpose of this article is to present, through...
This paper studies the first computing education summer camp of its kind in Sweden. Semi-structured interviews were performed with six of the camp's instructors focusing on their teaching experiences in relation to the instructional content and the children. The instructors struggled with meeting the wide range in children's programming experience, suggesting a lack of pedagogical knowledge. The results...
