We explore the potential of stereoscopic 3D (S3D) vision in offering distinct gameplay using an S3D-specific game called Deepress3D. Our game utilizes established S3D design prin-ciples for optimizing GUI design, visual comfort and game mechanics which rely on depth perception in time

We report on a new game design where the goal is to make the stereoscopic depth cue sufficiently critical to success that game play should become impossible without using a stereoscopic 3D (S3D) display and, at the same time, we investigate whether S3D game play is affected by screen size. Before

games?. This work discusses Planet π4, a prototype for a 3D space shooter game, designed for benchmarking with exchangeable underlying network systems. In this thesis the original game was improved, especially the gameplay and the produced network load, but also graphics were reworked. The gameplay

effect on gaming performance based on stereoscopic vision, although reserved to isolated tasks and depending on game expertise. We discuss the reasons behind these findings and provide recommendations for game designers who want to make use of 3D stereoscopic vision and 3D motion controllers to enhance

are client-server based, which is feasible for relatively slow role-playing games. Those have modest bandwidth and latency requirements and are paid for by their customers. For MMOGs with higher realtime requirements and/or a smaller number of customers willing to pay, peer-to-peer networking seems to be a

being used by designers to improve their games, and to segment the experience for each particular category of game players, in order to increase player numbers. 53,54 Friends " constraints in social games, invasive advertisement or unbalanced gameplay have a negative impact on player retention

Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegen. Darmstadt, den 28th February 2014 (Denis Lapiner) This Master’s Thesis proposes and implements a game design for an Android based massively multiplayer online augmented reality game. The proposed game design is based on an analysis of other popular aug-mented reality games

weight gain Reduced Sedentary Behavior A third implication of the energy balance model of obesity is that interventions that reduce sedentary behavior, such as TV viewing and video game use, should also decrease risk for future weight gain. Indeed, it has been theorized that more effective obesity

-to-peer MMOG. Aim of this work is to create a new AI for a peer-to-peer MMOG called Planet π4. First I analyzed the current state of art of the AI for computer games. Then I considered two different approaches to create the AI for Planet π4. The first AI implements a simple behavior while the second AI creates
