As these projects near completion, in the upcoming weeks we will have new projects to share with you, including... a new book written by all the Ludoscience members! In the meantime, here is a selection of our activities during the last months: Our b

The healthcare sector is currently in the verge of a reform and thus, the medical game research provide an interesting area of research. The aim of this study is to explore the critical elements underpinning the emergence of the medical game ecosystem with three sub-objectives: (1) to seek who are the key actors involved in the medical game ecosystem and identify their needs, (2) to scrutinise what types of resources are required in medical game development and what types of relationships are ne

The history of video games if full of forgotten titles. Most of the time, they are game projects cancelled before completion. But, sometimes, full and complete games are cancelled just before their commercial release. We call them "unreleased games", as they are waiting to be be discovered by historians or collectors who can reveal their existence to the world. Today, Ludoscience is proud to present you an "unreleased" PlayStation game called X-PO : 2089 Cyber Revolution

AbstractOrganizing for idea generation is a recurring challenge in intensive innovation contexts. The literature on ideation has reached a compelling consensus on the features that such organizational devices must possess to support sufficient creativity: learning processes and a creative climate of confidence to promote collaboration. However, current practical methodologies struggle to simultaneously realize these two features. In this paper, we explore the potential of Serious Games, a collab

The main goal of any educational institution is to form students as best as possible. To achieve it, traditional teaching models should be open to new learning experiences using emergent technologies such as video games, which offer a more attractive alternative to the student and a great capacity for interaction with knowledge. Studies based on this kind of initiatives show favorable results in terms of motivation and cognitive development. However, it is not&nb

It argues that the narrative of serious games history - a rhetoric that operates from within fixed values and beliefs about technological innovation - is part of a longstanding tradition in medical media history that shares particu

This qualitative research is part of a learning effort to better understand how serious games are exploited in a science education context. The research team examined this issue by focusing on augmented reality as a technological innovation imbedded on a tablet. Given the current state of knowledge related to serious games and augmented reality, and given the fact that its use in the context of teaching/learning is not extended, this paper focuses on an initial exploration of how a new teaching
