Games have become an integral part of today's culture, most obviously among younger people. At the same time, learning games have proved that they can be a source of enjoyment and are, if well-made, powerful tools for communicating knowledge. For cultural heritage projects targeted to raising the awareness of the general public, the integration of interactivity and innovative storytelling techniques can be supporting elements to capture their target audiences' enthusiasm. In particular, games that deal with art history have particular flaws in integrating motivating elements. This observation led us to the development of the 3D online learning game, ThIATRO, that immerses the player an exhibition and, as a side-effect communicates knowledge of art history concepts to the player. Its playful approach not only increases motivation to learn but also raises interest in art history and cultural heritage in general. We provide an overview of the design ideas behind ThIATRO and summarize the results of evaluations conducted with a group of 14-year-old pupils in a classroom environment. The results indicate that ThIATRO changes the player's aesthetic response and allows him or her to perceive art on a deeper level.

“…Recent studies have argued that CMGs have more positive values than simply just passing time and combatting boredom and loneliness (Chen & Leung, 2016). They can also improve quality of life, social relationships, learning, cultural memory, work and health (Begy, 2017;Cornejo, Hernandez, Tentori, & Favela, 2015;Froschauer et al, 2012;Iversen, 2016;Lin, Wang, & Chou, 2012;Wei & Lu, 2014;Xanthopoulou & Papagiannidis, 2012), among other things. Based on the above discussion, this study proposes utilitarian value and hedonic value as the components of the perceived value that individuals derive from CMGs.…”

The retention rate of mobile game players is one of the subjects that spark most interest in the industry, as many abandon the games only a few hours after downloading them. This study examines the antecedents of loyalty towards mobile games from the perspective of perceived value and explores the moderating effect of intensity of playing. The results revealed that hedonic value (i.e., perceived enjoyment and perceived attractiveness) and, to a lesser extent, utilitarian value (i.e., effort expectancy and perceived usefulness) are crucial in the loyalty that players feel towards mobile games. Intensity of playing weakens the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment and loyalty intention. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications are provided.

“…During the last few years, there have been many approaches to improve the pedagogy of History through technology, with smartphones and tablets being around for some time [15], [16], just like videogames for learning [17], [18], location-based and virtual reality educational tools [19], [20] and, of course, social networking on top of the traditional sites of the Web 2.0 [21], [22], [23]. We started developing the REENACT system in late 2012 as an approach to bring augmented reality (AR) technologies into the scene as well, aiming to engage groups of people into immersive collective experiences that would make them learn about the prelude, the course and the aftermath of battles and wars with the aid of tactile mobile devices, repositories of multimedia contents and remote experts.…”

The interactions enabled by the popular sites of the Web 2.0 are largely conÀned to the virtual world of the Internet, thus failing to engage people in relevant interactions with people, contents or resources in their physical environment. In this paper, we motivate the potential of automatically establishing sporadic social networks among people (acquaintances or strangers) who happen to be physically close to one another at a certain moment. We present the design of one platform intended to provide solutions from the lowest level of establishing ad-hoc connections among nearby mobile devices, up to the highest level of automatically identifying the most relevant pieces of information to deliver at any time. One speciÀc scenario is discussed for museum environments, considering the possibility of engaging groups of people into immersive collective experiences to learn about major historical events.
