“…While engagement studies were positive, studies on learning outcomes were less conclusive. Veinott (2014) finds no main effects on learning between two types of visual fidelity and cognitive fidelity. Kartiko et al (2010) also report that no significant differences in presence and learning outcomes between different levels of visual complexity of animated-virtual actors.…”

The visuals of a game is a crucial element when it comes to providing good player experiences. Visuals are also an incredibly complex subject in a game context since different modes of visual representation can be more or less "appropriate" for different settings. For example, while one can look at photo-realism as an impressive feature of a game due to its technical complexity and functionally accurate representation of real-world objects, it might still not be a fitting choice for different audiences, or for different pedagogical strategies. Serious game research seldom focuses on understanding the design of these components or their applicability to different types of learning, and it more often focuses on games' mechanics and how well they manage to capture subject matter content while still being engaging. The aim of this paper is to explore the gap in visual communication research, describing what studies tend to focus on providing some valuable context. This review was conducted on papers that dealt with visual aspects of serious games. The results show that visual communication is rarely addressed in serious game development research. Future research would benefit from taking visual communication in detail to facilitate the effectiveness of serious games.

“…Por otro lado, los videojuegos se han ido posicionando como una herramienta muy eficaz en el aprendizaje de diferentes temas, y se han explorado para estimular el aprendizaje en diferentes campos [19], [20]. La investigación en Inteligencia Computacional (IC) para fomentar la instrucción de usuarios de varias generaciones de manera sencilla y clara [21], la capacitación en la toma de decisiones [22] y la enseñanza en educación básica, han permitido que los videojuegos serios se convierten en una buena alternativa para facilitar el aprendizaje de niños y adultos; debido a que responden de mejor manera a la interactividad en comparación con metodologías tradicionales de enseñanza [23].…”

En este documento se plantea el diseño de un videojuego, como herramienta alternativa de aprendizaje de las metodologías para realizar diseños de iluminación. El videojuego se ha diseñado bajo la plataforma Unity y consta de cinco niveles. Los tres primeros están basados en las metodologías de diseño de iluminación interior, el cuarto hace referencia a iluminación deportiva, mientras que el quinto nivel está dedicado a iluminación de emergencia, teniendo en cuenta la normatividad contemplada en el Reglamento Técnico de Iluminación y Alumbrado Público (RETILAP). Realizar diseños de iluminación sin tener en cuenta lo contemplado en el RETILAP, acarrea consecuencias graves en la salud visual de las personas, y facilita el bajo rendimiento laboral por parte de los trabajadores en las organizaciones, como se verá más adelante. Por medio del videojuego, las personas vinculadas al gremio de la iluminación podrán conocer y aplicar la normatividad y metodologías de diseño vigente de una manera didáctica y fácil, con lo cual se busca minimizar los diseños de iluminación erróneos y mitigar sus consecuencias.

“…Video game play has evolved beyond a hobby to professional Esport teams (Engerman & Hein, 2017;Taylor, 2012) and serious games for training (Green & Bavelier, 2003;Mullinix et al, 2013;Pavlas et al, 2008;Scielzo et al, 2010;Veinott et al, 2014). In serious games and computer simulations, several reviews have shown that the transfer of that training to the operational environment, has not been effective (Bell & Kozlowski, 2006;Vogel et al, 2006).…”

This paper describes a new method, the Tracer Method, that maps multiple types of decision-making activities to visual search behaviors to improve the acquisition of expertise. The method combines Critical Decision Method (CDM) with eye tracking to identify expert strategies for performance in interface-based tasks. The Tracer Method uses a network analysis of eye movement data, contingent on the critical decisions, to produce new information that neither method alone can generate. Twenty-five experienced Over-watch players were eye-tracked while playing a competitive game, followed by a CDM interview. Three types of decisions: sensemaking, uncertainty management, and coordination resulted in different eye-movement network diagrams of transitional probabilities. These different strategies can inform Esport team training. Although we demonstrate the usefulness of the Tracer Method in an Esports context, the method could apply in other human factors domains.
