“…The realism in a video game contributes to game immersion and enjoyability. We are using the GameTools routines (García et al, 2012) to produce realistic materials such as metals, including pseudo-raytracing reflections, in realtime and with low computational cost.…”

Legends of Girona is a serious game which can be used to teach local history to students in the province of Girona in Spain. The game is a graphic adventure taking place in both present-day and medieval Girona. The authors describe in this paper the design of the game, including aspects related to artificial intelligence, advanced computer graphics, exergaming, mobile platforms and immersive devices. A collection of different devices is supported, including input devices such as head trackers and output devices such as cylindrical and spherical domes, immersapods, and 3D helmets. The authors provide an overview of all the stages required for the configuration of immersive devices (calibration procedure, adaptation and rendering). They also present some directions of future work.

Abstract-This paper describes the modifications required to use advanced, immersive I/O devices such as domes and Kinects in videogames (the case study includes four games). A standalone library of components has been created to allow easy adaptation of other games, with few modifications required in the game architecture. The changes include the creation of a cubemap to obtain the whole surroundings of the user in the game, and the use of post-processing GPU shaders to render this cubemap realistically in the curved surfaces. Additionally, the adaptation process of the GUI is described, and additional interaction modes using Kinects are presented.
