This article surveys the state-of-the-art crowd simulation techniques and their selected applications, with its focus on our recent research advances in this rapidly growing research field. We first give a categorized overview on the mainstream methodologies of crowd simulation. Then, we describe our recent research advances on crowd evacuation, pedestrian crowds, crowd formation, traffic simulation, and swarm simulation. Finally, we offer our viewpoints on open crowd simulation research challenges and point out potential future directions in this field.

“…In the development theory of the serious game, west researchers have done a lot of work, and proposed some development models and methods. A more conventional definition was introduced by Mike Zyda in 2005 [13] to provide an updating and more complete definition to the term as: "A mental contest, played with a computer in accordance with specific rules that uses entertainment to fulfill government or corporate training, education, health, public policy, and strategic communication objectives." At the same time, Stoke postulated a new definition for serious gaming: 'games that are designed to entertain players as they educate, train, or change behavior' [14,15], in 2005.…”

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) plays an important role in SouthEast Asia, and increasingly in the West. However, learning and mastering TCM knowledge are still an obscure problem for researchers all over the world, especially for beginners. With the development of computer science, serious game rising in a wide range of fields like education, training and simulation, etc. In this paper, we design and implementation a knowledge-intensive serious game for education of TCM. When the users play this game, they will finding learning is an interesting thing. We chose the Unity 3D as our game engine, 3ds Max 2013 as model design tools. When the users log in the game, it will presents a series of scenes include some tasks and questions about the TCM knowledge. After a series tasks and test, the reslut shows that serious game for TCM education proved effective to help the user remember and comprehend the concept of TCM.

“…Our previous studies [1,2,3] have found that combine people's instinctive pursuit of beauty with their real-time bio-feedback and immersive somatosensory interaction into one well designed system, can help people to be happy to carry out regular and effective exercise. In such a system, individual players tend to perform better to stay in a relatively beautiful virtual world, rather than in a relatively ugly world.…”

Abstract. By introducing a collaborative aesthetic-driven virtual fitness game, we give a possible solution to guide and encourage people who have sedentary lifestyle to do regular physical activity with enough intensity, duration and frequency. This method bridges physical interaction with a stationary bicycle and visual changes in a virtual environment, and combines it with a multiplayer game. During the test of game playing, individual participant's effort to meet their own target heart rate zone contributes to a team effort of aesthetic immersion overall.
