Gamification, Engagement and Technology

This week we discuss the UX and Instructional Design potential of Gone Home, 2013’s 12th highest rated PC game on MetaCritic and the 2014 Games for Change Game of the Year. It’s also an excellent walking simulator. 

Gone Home is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Episode 02 - Gone Home

In a smaller “lockpick" episode, we take a look at the new awkwardly named game Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n. The game (available for iOS and Android) pretends to be a messaging app like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. 

Set in the world of the TV show Mr. Robot, you take on the role of a hacker specializing in social engineering. It’s a choose your own adventure style experience where you decide whether and how to blackmail and coerce your way into systems. 

Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n serves as an interesting exploration into how chatbots or other text interfaces might be useful in training and experiential learning.

Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n is $2.99, available for both iOS and Android:

Episode 03: Experiential Learning and Text-Based Training in Mr Robot: Exfiltration

Brandon introduces Pandemic Legacy and its applications of cooperative learning principles in this week’s shorter “lockpick" episode. 

Pandemic Legacy is a collaborative board game that takes a serialized approach to gameplay. Players work together to stop the spread of diseases around the world, and consequences of decisions made during one game carry forward to the next time.

Pandemic and Pandemic Legacy are available wherever finer board games are sold.

Episode 04: Cooperative Learning Principles in Pandemic Legacy

Super Mario Maker, a game for the Wii U, could probably have entire books about the approaches and design choices it reflects. 

It’s a complex level creator for classic side-scrolling Mario games. Anybody can use 72 different pieces in infinite combinations to build the Mario level of their dreams (or nightmares). 

In this episode we specifically look at the game’s onboarding process. The way Super Mario Maker teaches players how to use it has implications for getting someone up to speed in other games and elsewhere.

IDA sætter fokus på Augmented Reality, en række teknologier, som tillader os at 'augmentere' den virkelighed, vi ser, ved at kombinere det virkelige med virtuelle elementer, så data bliver til en del af den fysiske virkelighed. Augmented Reality giver os en enorm fleksibilitet og får stor indvirkning på fremtidens arbejds- og produktionsforhold. Lyt med og stift bekendtskab med tre pionerer indenfor området: 

Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen, direktør i Sentio Simulations: http://bit.ly/2iGhI9M
Kaj Grønbæk, professor i datalogi ved Aarhus Universitet: http://bit.ly/2j6DtTx

Augmented Reality

Lyt med, når IDA Podcast sætter fokus på evolutionære algoritmer og kunstige neurale netværk. Det er kognitive teknologier, som er fuldstændigt centrale for udviklingen indenfor kunstig intelligens i dag - og ikke til at overse, når vi skal forstå det eksponentielt accelererende paradigme, vi lever i. Vi stiller også skarpt på spørgsmålet, om maskiner kan være kreative, og på den vigtige rolle, kunstig intelligens spiller i en verden, hvor datamængden og processorkraften bare vokser og vokser. 

Podcasten er produceret af Danmarks ingeniørforening, IDA, i samarbejde med Brain Gain Group. Episoden er den tredje i en serie om fremtidsteknologi.

[21:23] ‘Do you think computers have minds?’ Det er ikke kun Sebastian Risi, som synes det spørgsmål er godt. Bevidsthedsfilosofien har søgt seriøse svar på det, helt siden Alan Turing formulerede sin berømte test i 1950. Det er blevet omdrejningspunktet for en filosofisk tradition, hvis mest interessante og udfoldede svar elegant beskrives i The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy: http://bit.ly/2k4Bqw5

Redefining Play

An insightful seminar by Philip Booth on Gamification and its uses.

Gamification Podcast - Philip Booth 8th March 2012

Mark Ramsey (http://www.markramseymedia.com) talks to Triton Digital's Chris Bell (http://www.tritondigital.com) about gamification:  What is it, and why does it matter to radio's digital platform?  Arbitron is a game, and game mechanics can not only help increase ratings, but can also dramatically improve interactions between consumers and your brands - and results for your clients.  Listen as Chris spells it all out.
