The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

Making a successful video game is hard. Even games that are well-received at launch may fail to engage players in the long term due to issues with the user experience (UX) that they are delivering. That’s why makers of successful video games like Fortnite and Assassin’s Creed invest both time and money perfecting their UX strategy. These top video game creators know that a bad user experience can ruin the prospects for any game regardless of its budget scope or ambition. The game UX accounts for the whole experience players have with a video game from first hearing about it to navigating menus and progressing in the game. UX as a discipline offers guidelines to assist developers in creating the optimal experience they want to deliver including shipping higher quality games (whether indie triple-A or serious games) and meeting business goals - all while staying true to design vision and artistic intent. At its core UX is about understanding the gamer’s brain: understanding human capabilities and limitations to anticipate how a game will be perceived the emotions it will elicit how players will interact with it and how engaging the experience will be. This book is designed to equip readers of all levels from student to professional with cognitive science knowledge and user experience guidelines and methodologies. These insights will help readers identify the ingredients for successful and engaging video games empowering them to develop their own unique game recipe more efficiently while providing a better experience for their audience. The Gamer's Brain: How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design Is written by Celia Hodent - a UX expert with a PhD in psychology who has been working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years including at prominent companies such as Epic Games (Fortnite) Ubisoft and LucasArts. Major themes explored in this book: Provides an overview of how the brain learns and processes information by distilling research findings from cognitive science and psychology research in a very accessible way. Topics covered include: neuromyths perception memory attention motivation emotion and learning. Includes numerous examples from released games of how scientific knowledge translates into game design and how to use a UX framework in game development. Describes how UX can guide developers to improve the usability and the level of engagement a game provides to its target audience by using cognitive psychology knowledge implementing human-computer interaction principles and applying the scientific method (user research). Provides a practical definition of UX specifically applied to games with a unique framework. Defines the most relevant pillars for good usability (ease of use) and good engage-ability (the ability of the game to be fun and engaging) translated into a practical checklist. Covers design thinking game user research game analytics and UX strategy at both a project and studio level. This book is a practical tool that any professional game developer or student can use right away and includes the most complete overview of UX in games existing today. | The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

Volume 8 Tome III: Kierkegaard's International Reception – The Near East Asia Australia and the Americas

Volume 8 Tome III: Kierkegaard's International Reception – The Near East Asia Australia and the Americas

Although Kierkegaard's reception was initially more or less limited to Scandinavia it has for a long time now been a highly international affair. As his writings were translated into different languages his reputation spread and he became read more and more by people increasingly distant from his native Denmark. While in Scandinavia the attack on the Church in the last years of his life became something of a cause célèbre later many different aspects of his work became the object of serious scholarly investigation well beyond the original northern borders. As his reputation grew he was co-opted by a number of different philosophical and religious movements in different contexts throughout the world. The three tomes of this volume attempt to record the history of this reception according to national and linguistic categories. Tome III is the most geographically diverse covering the Near East Asia Australia and the Americas. The section on the Near East features pioneering articles on the Kierkegaard reception in Israel Turkey Iran and the Arab world. The next section dubbed 'Asia and Australia' features articles on the long and rich traditions of Kierkegaard research in Japan and Korea along with the more recent ones in China and Australia. A final section is dedicated to Americas with articles on Canada the United States hispanophone South America Mexico and Brazil. | Volume 8 Tome III: Kierkegaard's International Reception – The Near East Asia Australia and the Americas

Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

The interaction phenomenon is very common between different components of a mechanical system. It is a natural phenomenon and is found with the impact force in aircraft landing; the estimation of degree of ripeness of an apple from impact on a beam; the interaction of the magnetic head of a computer disk leading to miniature development of modern computer; etc. Uncertainty in some of them would lead to inaccurate analysis results on the behavior of the structure. The interaction force is difficult to measure unless instruments have been installed during construction for this purpose. Some of the interaction problems are difficult to quantify due to the lack of thorough knowledge on the interaction behavior. Analytical skills are required to estimate the interaction forces of the mechanical system in order to enable advanced developments in different areas of modern technology. This volume provides a comprehensive treatment on this topic with the vehicle-bridge system for an illustration of the moving load problem. It covers a whole range of topics including mathematical concepts of the moving load problems with continuous beams and plates vehicle-bridge interaction dynamics weigh-in-motion techniques moving load identification algorithms in the frequency-time domain in the time domain and in the state space domain techniques based on the generalized orthogonal function expansion and on the finite element formulation. The methods and algorithms can be implemented for on-line identification of the interaction forces. This book is intended for structural engineers and advanced students who wish to explore the benefit of interaction phenomenon and techniques for identification of such interaction forces. It is also recommended for researchers and decision makers working on the operation and maintenance of major infrastructures and engineering facilities. | Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

Creo Parametric 8.0 Tutorial

Creo Parametric 8.0 Tutorial

The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce you to the design capabilities of Creo Parametric 8. 0. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation and creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Creo Parametric a parametric solid modeler. Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner an effort has been made in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Simply knowing where commands can be found is only half the battle. As is pointed out numerous times in the text creating useful and effective models of parts and assemblies requires advance planning and forethought. Moreover since error recovery is an important skill considerable time is spent exploring the created models. In fact some errors are intentionally induced so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Following the quiz are several simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these an ongoing project throughout the book is also included. This project consists of several parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. Who this book is for This book has been written specifically with students in mind. Typically students enter their first CAD course with a broad range of abilities both in spatial visualization and computer skills. The approach taken here is meant to allow accessibility to persons of all levels. These lessons therefore were written for new users with no previous experience with CAD although some familiarity with computers is assumed. The tutorials in this textbook cover the following topics: Introduction to the program and its operation The features used in part creation Modeling utilities Creating engineering drawings Creating assemblies and assembly drawings | Creo Parametric 8. 0 Tutorial
