Today I spent half of the day in the VR lab working on the computers. I also did some analysis on the different platforms which have potential for use in the project.
I spent a few hours researching the concept of "serious games". A serious game is a game designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. When discussing the subject of serious games, the term "game" itself can become ambiguous and you can really begin to question what a game really is? In my mind, I always thought of a game as something which always has a definite and eventual ending.
However, in the context of serious games for use with cultural heritage, there is the potential for a user to explore a "virtual" environment with no real aim or end goal in mind, other than exploring and discovering the virtual environment itself...
