The One

Audience research proves that possibilities of interaction in i-docs are often not fulfilled by the user, who is not really part of a ‘work in progress’ (as intended by the makers). With the shift and development of new digital formats (360-degree-films, nonfictional VR experiences, AR apps), the question of the possible interactive potential should be addressed once again. Since VR projects are fully immersive (mostly using head-mounted displays), there is no possible distraction from outside on the one hand. On the other hand, there is a shift from the computer game style aesthetic of early i-docs, with their pure spatial arrangement of events, to a more inclusive digital storytelling modality with the user experiencing his own world-building. This will be discussed with taking into consideration the non-fictional VR experience as a mode of actively combining immersion and storytelling for a satisfactory user experience. Afterwards two very different examples of nonfictional VR production will be presented, and their modalities will be briefly touched; the utilized approach and its user response will be discussed. A look at the future of possible developments concludes the essay.

Abstract Museums have been subjected to important changes in the approach they use to involve visitors. Among the other trends, storytelling and interactive exhibitions are two of the most used approaches used to make exhibitions more interesting for users. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality methods can be effectively used in the context of a museum exhibition to support both storytelling and interaction. The primary objective of the use of these technologies is to make the visit of museums much more engaging, and suitable for different types of visitors. Among the several museums that are moving in this direction, there is the Museo Astronomico di Brera. The museum mainly consists of a corridor, hosting instruments used by astronomers, and the Cupola Schiaparelli, which is an observatory dome. The aim of the research presented in this paper is to develop an interactive Virtual Reality application to be used for improving the users’ experience of visits to the Museo Astronomico di Brera. Specifically, the paper presents a VR application to virtually visit the Dome. Preliminary tests have been carried out for evaluating the users’ sense of presence in the VR environment. An analysis of the collected data is presented in the paper.

Information visualisation plays an important role for executives in order to drive business effectively and efficiently. Dashboard design, which is one of the best tools of visualization to meet the information needs at adequate levels, is becoming more important parallel to advances in information processing technologies. This study aims to provide a conceptual framework for developing a dashboard for executives. Healthcare management was chosen to demonstrate the methodology of research design, data gathering and visualisation examples. Results show that the study is applicable to other areas as well to meet the information requirements of top and mid-level managers.

BACKGROUND Serious games for medical education have seen a resurgence in recent years, partly due to the growth of the video game industry and the ability of such games to support learning achievements. However, there is little consensus on what the serious and game components in a serious game are composed of. As a result, electronic learning (e-learning) and medical simulation modules are sometimes mislabeled as serious games. We hypothesize that one of the main reasons is the difficulty for a medical educator to systematically and accurately evaluate key aspects of serious games. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify markers that can evaluate serious games and distinguish between serious games, entertainment games, and e-learning. METHODS Jabareen’s eight-phase framework-building procedure was used to identify the core markers of a serious game. The procedure was modified slightly to elicit “diagnostic criteria” as opposed to its original purpose of a conceptual framework. Following the identification of purported markers, the newly developed markers were tested on a series of freely available health care serious games—Dr. Game Surgeon Trouble, Staying Alive, and Touch Surgery—and the results were compared to the published test validity for each game. RESULTS Diagnostic criteria for serious games were created, comprising the clusters of User Experience (UX), Play, and Learning. Each cluster was formed from six base markers, a minimum of four of which were required for a cluster to be considered present. These criteria were tested on the three games, and Dr. Game Surgeon Trouble and Staying Alive fit the criteria to be considered a serious game. Touch Surgery did not meet the criteria, but fit the definition of an e-learning module. CONCLUSIONS The diagnostic criteria appear to accurately distinguish between serious games and mediums commonly misidentified as serious games, such as e-learning modules. However, the diagnostic criteria do not determine if a serious game will be efficacious; they only determine if it is a serious game. Future research should include a much larger sample of games designed specifically for health care purposes.

Researchers have worked on-finding e-commerce recommender systems evaluation methods that contribute to an optimal solution. However, existing evaluations methods lack the assessment of user-centric factors such as buying decisions, user experience and user interactions resulting in less than optimum recommender systems. This paper investigates the problem of adequacy of recommender systems evaluation methods in relation to user-centric factors. Published work has revealed limitations of existing evaluation methods in terms of evaluating user satisfaction. This paper characterizes user-centric evaluation factors and then propose a user-centric evaluation conceptual framework to identify and expose a gap within literature. The researchers used an integrative review approach to formulate both the characterization and the conceptual framework for investigation. The results reveal a need to come up with a holistic evaluation framework that combines system-centric and user-centric evaluation methods as well as formulating computational user-centric evaluation methods. The conclusion reached is that, evaluation methods for e-commerce recommender systems lack full assessment of vital factors such as: user interaction, user experience and purchase decisions. A full consideration of these factors during evaluation will give birth to new types of recommender systems that predict user preferences using user decision-making process profiles, and that will enhance user experience and increase revenue in the long run.
