Standard power wheelchair training is considered inadequate by clinicians and users due to insufficient means to evaluate user performance in varying environments. Virtual environment training offers a promising alternative by providing users with more practical opportunities while reducing the time demands on clinicians. However, there is a need to further explore and optimize game design elements and strategies to ensure engaging and effective training experiences for a diverse range of users. This paper presents our progress of WheelUp!, an open-source electric wheelchair virtual reality (VR) simulator. The simulator offers modularity for clinician-controlled difficulty adjustment, immediate visual and audio feedback, and a visualization tool to aid in clinical assessment and monitoring of progress. This is the first step to building an interactive platform to address the inadequacy of wheelchair training. © 2023 IEEE.

One of the more exploratory and experimental forms of output in the games research community involves authors utilising games they have developed in the academic context. Whether fully embodying the role of a designer-researcher in communicating the development process, or presenting the data that derives from a complete game artefact, academics can use games as an integral part of their research. The academic game making context is distinct from other forms of game creation, with academia allowing for certain freedoms while also enforcing its own strict constraints. Our understanding of academic games derives from how they have been reported in the literature, as there is limited preservation of these games as playable experiences. For the 20th Foundations of Digital games (FDG) conference, we analysed its corpus of 1,437 articles to take examine their historical development and identify some of the developmental trends of academic games as reported over nearly two decades. Through this study, we identify the diverse purposes of these games and examine how they have contributed to advancing research efforts. © 2025 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).

Jubensha games, popular in China, combine storytelling, social deduction, and script-centered group play, sparking widespread interest among gamers and researchers worldwide. However, enthusiasts and researchers have struggled to accurately describe Jubensha, often defaulting to comparisons with genres like murder mystery and live-action role-playing games. This reliance on comparisons hinders efforts to generalize Jubensha or to deconstruct and adapt its unique design components, dynamics of player interaction, and playing experience into other games. This research provides a taxonomy and analysis of Jubensha games, based on a thematic analysis of over 80 Jubensha games accessed through mobile applications and physical copies. The analysis combines the authors’ positionalities as native Chinese and English speakers and lenses from close reading of the games, discourse analysis, and distributed cognition. We provide summative case studies to exemplify our taxonomy and discuss design implications for Jubensha games for future projects. Our work provides a descriptive tool and vocabulary for researchers and designers to facilitate communication and theorize the evolving Jubensha gaming phenomenon highlighting how gameplay centers collaborative sensemaking. In addition, we argue that the design of game narratives in Jubensha games, including structures in scripts and the evolving performance of players, can be generalized and transferred to the design of a wider range of analog and video games.

The study examines the research–practice partnership (RPP) model aimed at co-constructing and integrating computational thinking (CT) in culturally responsive (CR) ways within early childhood and elementary (PreK-5) classrooms, focusing on teachers' RPP experiences. Recent research underlines the importance of integrating CT in early childhood and elementary education, demonstrating that culturally, linguistically, and developmentally responsive computational activities in PreK-5 settings are key to such efforts. However, there is a gap in research regarding effective professional development models that would prepare early childhood teachers in terms of both disciplinary ideas and practices of CT, as well as attending to cultural, linguistic, and developmental differences in young children in asset-based ways. Our research contributes to this body of knowledge by examining how RPP can be a model for teacher learning in which teachers, administrators, and researchers can co-develop knowledge and confidence in integrating CT into the PreK-5 teaching curriculum and practices in CR ways. The study outlines the collaborative development of processes and frameworks co-constructed by the RPP educators, as well as teacher-developed curricular materials and lesson plans integrating CT in CR ways. Findings include teachers' experience of these lessons and teacher insights about the support needed to incorporate CT and CR practices into their existing curricula. The study concludes by highlighting the potential challenges and opportunities inherent in such endeavors, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on supporting CT integration into early childhood classrooms in CR ways.

The practice of building intelligent narrative technologies is implicitly grounded in a sociopolitical context whose values are reflected in the artifacts we build and our narration of their use. This position paper attempts to make these implicit values explicit by naming them and conceptualizing alternatives. We argue for adopting a Critical Technical Practice of narrative intelligence in which explicit critical reflection on the values and metaphors a system's assumptions embed is interwoven into the design process. We demonstrate a broad application of this practice by identifying four ideals underlying narrative intelligence systems that impose and reflect systems of power: the Hero's Journey, Amalgamated Human Authorship, Social Believability, and the Holodeck. We then identify values that are marginalized by these ideals, such as narrative pluralism, amplifying underrepresented voices, representation of non-normative identities and relationships, and opportunities for reflection and interpretation. Finally, we propose imagined alternatives to existing ideals that bring these marginalized values to the center. © 2020 for this paper by its authors.

Networks and local systems add delays to user actions in computer games, increasing the time between user input and rendering on the screen. Top-down studies using games have helped understand the impact of delays, but often do not generalize nor lend themselves to analytic modeling. Bottom-up studies isolating user input can better generalize and be used in models, but have yet to be applied to computer games. Our work builds a custom game for studying delay and the fundamental user input of selecting a moving target with a mouse. Analysis of data from a large user study shows target selection time is exponential with delay, and provides for an analytic model based on delay and the interaction between delay and target speed.

A taxonomy for player actions with latency in network games 25

A taxonomy for player actions with latency in network games

The degradation of player performance in network games with latency is well documented. However, quantifying the effects of latency on player individual actions is an unmet challenge. Under constrained bitrate conditions, player actions delayed on the client add additional latency, so network game developers need tools to help prioritize the sending of player actions. This paper presents a taxonomy for player actions with latency in network games, where player actions are defined by their precision, dead-line & impact. The effects of latency along each dimension of the taxonomy are analyzed through extensive experiments with a custom 2d game. Efficacy of the taxonomy in game development is illustrated by experiments that show improved player performance when prioritizing player actions based on their expected impact derived from the taxonomy dimensions.

IEEE games media Entertainment (GEM)

作者： Meng Luo Mark Claypool Computer Science and Interactive Media & Game Development Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester MA USA

Cloud gaming is an emerging service based on cloud computing technology which allows games to be run on a server and streamed as video to players on a lightweight client. Commercial cloud gaming systems, such as Playstation Now and StreamMygame remain proprietary, limiting access for game developers and researchers. In order to address this shortcoming, we present an open source cloud-based game system prototype in Unity called Uniquitous that gives game developers and researchers control over both the cloud system and the game content. Detailed experiments evaluate the performance of Uniquitous for two main parameters, game resolution and game image quality, using two different games. The evaluation results are used in a data model that can predict in-game frame rates for systems with configurations beyond those tested. Validation experiments show the accuracy of our model and complement the release of Uniquitous as a potential research and development platform.

Annual Workshop on Network and Systems Support for games (Netgames)

作者： Mark Claypool David Finkel Computer Science and Interactive Media & Game Development Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester MA USA

Cloud-based games are an increasingly popular method to distribute and play computer games on the Internet. While there has been some work studying network aspects of cloud-based games and examining the effects of latency on traditional games, there has not been sufficient research on the impact of latency on cloud-based games nor a comparison of the impact of latency on cloud-based games versus traditional games. This paper presents the results of two user studies that measure the objective and subjective effects of latency on cloud-based games, one study using the commercial cloud game system OnLive and the other study using the academic cloud game system GamingAnywhere. Analysis of the results shows both quality of experience and user performance degrade linearly with an increase in latency. More significantly, latency affects cloud-based games in a manner most similar to that of traditional first-person avatar games, the most sensitive class of games, despite the fact that the cloud-based games may have a different user perspective. These results have implications for cloud-based game designers and cloud system developers.
