Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment of Serious-Game Based on Synthetic Fog using Activity Theory Model

Abstract

This study used the activity theory model to determine the dynamic difficulty adjustment of serious-game based on synthetic fog. The difference in difficulty levels was generated in a 3-dimensional game environment with changes determined by applying varying fog thickness. The activity theory model in serious-games aims to facilitate development analysis in terms of learning content, the equipment used, and the resulting in-game action. The difficulty levels vary according to the player's ability because the game is expected to reduce boredom and frustration. Furthermore, this study simulated scenarios of various conditions, scores, time remaining, and the lives of synthetic players. The experimental results showed that the system can change the game environment with different fog thicknesses according to synthetic player parameters.

3D rooms map concept based augmented reality for green library

“…In this aspect, the green library concept incorporates the creation of 3D maps. 3D technology is widely used for various purposes, including interactive media [5], educational materials [6], introducing tangible cultural heritages [7], and the development of serious games with varying levels of difficulty [8]. This paper will discuss the concept of a green library with a 3D design, where the 3D design of the library will be connected to a map that will ultimately produce an Augmented Reality-based spatial map product.…”
