In part one of this new blog post series, Dr. David Chandross introduces the idea of personal mastery in games as a motivational and improvement technique.
Dr. David Chandross talks about the recent Sim-one Expo he went to at Ryerson University and introduces the connection between gamification and simulation.
Simulation is the representation of real world problems which can be used to rehearse skill deployment in medicine, engineering, coaching and a myriad of other fields. There is an abundant literature on simulation in all of these fields and a robust research community surrounding it. In this post we are going to look at mobile simulation game design, an area we have been developing intensively in response to growing demand for gamified simulation.
