Physics and Playstation Too: Learning Physics with Computer Games

Computer games seem to captivate the imagination and attention of contemporary teenagers. If only the energy, motivation, fun and exhilaration they enjoy from playing games on their PC, or on consoles such as PlayStation 2, GameCube, XBOX, and Dreamcast, could be captured in learning physics! Andrew Stapleton, a doctoral student under Dr. Peter Taylor's supervision at Curtin University's Scienc...

Computer Games and the Military : Two Views

multiplayer games invests players in games and compels them to play. As the military attempts to incorporate information technologies into simulation, Herz suggests that it will require not only hardware and software infrastructure but also the cultural infrastructure to leverage these resources. Macedonia recognizes the role that the commercial game industry has played in military simulations ...

Physics Simulation Games

Building Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can successfully interact with the physical world in a comprehensive and human-like way is a big challenge. Physics simulation games, i.e., video games where the game world simulates real-world physics, offer a simplified and controlled environment for developing J. Renz (*) • X.

Computer vision for computer games

The appeal of computer games may be enhanced by vision-based user inputs. The high speed and low cost requirements for near-term, mass-market game applications make system design challenging. The response time of the vision interface should be less than a video frame time and the interface should cost less than 50 Dollars U.S. We meet these constraints with algorithms tailored to particular har...
