“…This can be in different contexts such as education, training, health, or interpersonal communication. Most research agrees that digital serious games contain different media, which can be a combination of text, graphics [29], animations [30], audio [31], haptics [27,32], and so forth. Furthermore, we believe that the "serious" term in serious games comes from their role of conveying some message or input, be it knowledge, skill, or in general some content to the player.…”

“…One of the most important properties found was music incorporation in the game, which helps increase players motivation to exercise using the game in question. Also, integrating haptic feedback in serious games has, among others, the potential to enhance the learning experience through a tactile perception of objects [27] and to provide more realism in rehabilitation games for stroke patients [32].…”

“…(ii) Multimodal serious games: in order for a game in general and a serious game in particular to be convincing to the user, multiple modalities should be incorporated. For example, integrating the haptic technology in a serious game can add a hands-on element to the learning experience in educational games, as well as providing tactile and force feedback in rehabilitation games in the health care domain [32]. However, some researchers have already proved that in some cases multimodal interaction might be distracting to the user, and thus the overall performance drops.…”

Serious games are growing rapidly as a gaming industry as well as a field of academic research. There are many surveys in the field of digital serious games; however, most surveys are specific to a particular area such as education or health. So far, there has been little work done to survey digital serious games in general, which is the main goal of this paper. Hence, we discuss relevant work on serious games in different application areas including education, well-being, advertisement, cultural heritage, interpersonal communication, and health care. We also propose a taxonomy for digital serious games, and we suggest a classification of reviewed serious games applications from the literature against the defined taxonomy. Finally, the paper provides guidelines, drawn from the literature, for the design and development of successful serious games, as well as discussing research perspectives in this domain.

“…Tais avanços contribuem em "larga escala para a solução de problemas antes insolúveis e que podem reverter em melhores condições de vida e saúde para o paciente"[Barra et al 2006]. Uma dasáreas tecnológicas que vem ganhando destaqueé a dos serious games, que são aplicações que se estendem além dos jogos tradicionais, incluindo a educação, gestão pública, treinamento militar, cuidados de saúde e terapia, dentre outros[Orozco et al 2012]. Tecnologias de computação visual também possibilitam ao usuário uma interação diferenciada com o computador, além de oferecer uma forma mais eficiente de envolvimento do usuário com os sistemas de software em si[Rodrigues et al 2011].…”

Terapias fonoaudiológicas costumam ser repetitivas e cansativas, causando impaciência e por muitas vezes a descontinuidade do tratamento de crianças e adolescentes. Este trabalho apresenta a aplicação de técnicas de re- conhecimento visual na interpretação e captura de movimentos da lı́ngua exe- cutados em terapias fonoaudiológicas. Como resultado, tem-se a possibilidade de integrar exercı́cios básicos de fortalecimento muscular oral com dinâmicas de jogos digitais diversos, permitindo assim uma maior aceitação dos pacientes as rotinas aplicadas nas respectivas terapias.

Abstract. Serious gaming often requires high level of realism for training and learning purposes. Haptic technology has been proved to be useful in many applications with an additional perception modality complementary to the audio and the vision. It provides novel user experience to enhance the immersion of virtual reality with a physical control-layer. This survey focuses on the haptic technology and its applications in serious gaming. Several categories of related applications are listed and discussed in details, primarily on haptics acts as cognitive aux and main component in serious games design. We categorize haptic devices into tactile, force feedback and hybrid ones to suit different haptic interfaces, followed by description of common haptic gadgets in gaming. Haptic modeling methods, in particular, available SDKs or libraries either for commercial or academic usage, are summarized. We also analyze the existing research difficulties and technology bottleneck with haptics and foresee the future research directions.
