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

Last session 1st part Master Apps&Games

Posted on February 1, 2014 by ramonreig

Last Friday the 1st part of this very first edition of our Master program Apps&Games just finnished, professors of the #AppsGamesUVic subject-matters Game Design and Project Design organized a students projects presentation session. We all were really impressed by the great potential of the 8 projects presented, and I presume than some of them will become a reality by the end of this course (surprisingly one of them is now available at the Apple Store!). The projects are sumarized in the same order that they were presented:

1.- “Mad ghosts finder”, a game that uses AR to emulate “Ghosts finder” experience.
