Augmented Reality Cubes for Cognitive Gaming: Preliminary Usability and Game Experience Testing
Boletsis, Costas; McCallum, Simon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Early detection is important in dementia care; however, cognitive impairment is still under-recognised and under-diagnosed. Cognitive screening and training are two important preventative treatments, which can lead to early ... -
Augmented Reality Serious Gaming for Cognitive Health
Boletsis, Konstantinos (Doctoral thesis, 2016-08-11)Cognitive impairment in the elderly can be associated with the normal ageing processes or be a symptom of early onset dementia. Even though, early detection of dementia has many benefits, cognitive impairment is still ... -

Wang, Andreas; Lilleslåtten, Martin Langslet; Svarverud, Sondre (Bachelor thesis, 2017)Dockit League is a project focused around creating a multiplayer online battle arena(MOBA) game using the Unity game engine. The game revolves around playing against other players in a competitive environment, using Docking ... -
Enhancing Software Engineering Education with Game Design and Development
McCallum, Simon; Mishra, Deepti; Nowostawski, Mariusz (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The benefits of integrating game development in software engineering education are multifold. It keeps the students interested, engaged and motivated during the courses and can potentially open a range of employment ... -
Facilitating and Advancing Universal Design of ICT
Begnum, Miriam Eileen Nes (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:311, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Background: In modern societies, the consequences of digital exclusion are severe. Legislation on Universal Design (UD) reflects socio-economic, democratic and ethical reasons for ensuring all citizens are able to use ... -
Gamifying research in software engineering
Nowostawski, Mariusz; McCallum, Simon; Mishra, Deepti (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)It is a non‐trivial task for research‐centric courses in the software engineering curriculum to compete and engage students on the same level as the practical, software development courses. Practical software development ... -
Gesture Recognition Using Template Matching in VR
Somby, Christer Peltoperæ (Master thesis, 2018)The goal of this master project was to implement and run experiments on gesturerecognition using template matching and particle filtering in virtual reality. Exper-iments were done using the gesture recognition software ... -
Human-Joystick VR Locomotion technique: An empirical approach
Aguirre Mendoza, Aland Andres (Master thesis, 2018)Virtual Reality (VR) has been successfully applied with a broad range of locomotion techniques. Many of these locomotion techniques have different challenges and benefits. In the following thesis, the Human-Joystick (or ... -
Information security as a countermeasure against cheating in video games
Mikkelsen, Kevin Kjelgren (Master thesis, 2017)Most cheating in video games is possible due to information being accessible outside the intended frames of the game developer. The issue of protecting sensitive information have been handled in many areas outside of video ... -
Noticeability and Effectiveness of Distractors in Redirected Walking
Wang, Andreas (Master thesis, 2019)Redirected walking is an area of VR research that aims to optimise the usage of physical tracking space. This optimisation is handled by doing small manipulations to the camera of the user, so they effectively are redirected ... -
