Activity Games4*, Health&Education:

Games are capable of telling stories and holding a narrative on their own, and can play a role in facilitating learning outcomes in a wide range of situations. The 2nd Games4everything meeting (#G4*UST) is a joint initiative of the Chair in ICT and Healthcare, and the Research Group on Data and Signal Processing (DSP Group) from the UVic-UCC. The aim is to explore the healthcare and educational possibilities of games and associated technologies. The power of games, combined with the ubiquity of mobile technologies, could lead to a revolution in the way we learn and in the way we take care for our health as a society. We will discuss all these issues with peers and colleagues from other institutions, and are pleased to invite you to join us at the UVic-UCC on
