“…Tan et al [10] proposed SGs as a teaching tool which can enhance learning motivation and encourage learners to participate in the learning process actively. Similarly, Byl et al [14] used a VR game, in which the environment is a toy factory. Subjects were asked to use spatial imagination and graphic stitching according to the game requirements to simulate the operational process.…”

“…The medical staff is the operational process's performer and represents the active party in MO. SGMO need to provide training and testing functions to improve the medical staff's skills in the perioperative period [10], [12]- [14]. On the other hand, the patients are the passive party in the MOs and have different physical and psychological conditions.…”

Medical operations(MOs) are essential in healthcare, and they are also a big concept that includes various operations during the perioperative period. Traditional operation exposes its limitations during the perioperative period, reflected in medical training, surgical preparation, and postoperative rehabilitation. Serious Games for Medical Operation (SGMO) offer new ways and complementary solutions to support MOs. Methods: As a review, this paper analyzes the development of SGMO and considers various aspects of the SGMO, such as interface, functions, and technologies. Results and conclusion: By combining MO and serious games' characteristics, the paper classifies SGMO and analyzes their features and functions for different groups of users and at various stages of the perioperative period (before, during, and after an MO). Interactive technologies used in SGMO are presented from a visual, haptic, and auditory perspective. Significance: This paper reviews the development of SGMO, summarizes its functions and technologies. Besides, it presents representative products and suggests future research directions.

“…When transferred to VR [ 5 ], tracking technology is used to capture positions, poses, and movements of involved objects, i.e., simulated counterparts of medical device and patient dummies. This provides the basis for an immersive simulation with precise conduction of training sessions [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. In the field of telemedicine, VR applicaions are used for planning, as well as treating and rehabilitating patients [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

The tracking of objects and person position, orientation, and movement is relevant for various medical use cases, e.g., practical training of medical staff or patient rehabilitation. However, these demand high tracking accuracy and occlusion robustness. Expensive professional tracking systems fulfill these demands, however, cost-efficient and potentially adequate alternatives can be found in the gaming industry, e.g., SteamVR Tracking. This work presents an evaluation of SteamVR Tracking in its latest version 2.0 in two experimental setups, involving two and four base stations. Tracking accuracy, both static and dynamic, and occlusion robustness are investigated using a VIVE Tracker (3.0). A dynamic analysis further compares three different velocities. An error evaluation is performed using a Universal Robots UR10 robotic arm as ground-truth system under nonlaboratory conditions. Results are presented using the Root Mean Square Error. For static experiments, tracking errors in the submillimeter and subdegree range are achieved by both setups. Dynamic experiments achieved errors in the submillimeter range as well, yet tracking accuracy suffers from increasing velocity. Four base stations enable generally higher accuracy and robustness, especially in the dynamic experiments. Both setups enable adequate accuracy for diverse medical use cases. However, use cases demanding very high accuracy should primarily rely on SteamVR Tracking 2.0 with four base stations.

“…Given the complexity of game design, it makes sense that methods like gamification (i.e., applying game elements such as points and leaderboards to a non-gaming task) that are often not difficult to apply became popular some years ago [40]. While many serious game creators do not take such an approach, limitations and considerations unique to serious games still make that they are often smaller in scope than many commercial games, and that designs consisting of a core mechanic (possibly with a selection of supplemental mechanics and/or feedback mechanisms) are common (see [7,9,16,38,55] for some examples from recent years). At times, this simplicity is even preferable [39], as serious games need to be easily accessible to a broad (often non-gaming) audience, limiting their desired complexity.…”

Validation of serious games tends to focus on evaluating their design as a whole. While this helps to assess whether a particular combination of game mechanics is successful, it provides little insight into how individual mechanics contribute or detract from a serious game's purpose or a player's game experience. This study analyses the effect of game mechanics commonly used in casual games for engagement, measured as a combination of player behaviour and reported game experience. Secondly, it examines the role of a serious game's purpose on those same measures. An experimental study was conducted with 204 participants playing several versions of a serious game to explore these points. The results show that adding additional game mechanics to a core gameplay loop did not lead to participants playing more or longer, nor did it improve their game experience. Players who were aware of the game's purpose, however, perceived the game as more beneficial, scored their game experience higher, and progressed further. The results show that game mechanics on their own do not necessarily improve engagement, while the effect of perceived value deserves further study.
