Debate sobre los debates electorales y nuevas formas de comunicación política

“…Dado que el juego también sirve para promover el interés a través de la inmersión que provoca el estado de juego, los videojuegos han sido utilizados, desde sus inicios, como herramienta de simulación y reclutamiento. Las simulaciones se han utilizado en el entrenamiento militar durante casi cien años, cuando se utilizaban caballos de madera para entrenar a los soldados en la habilidad de subir y bajar durante la Primera Guerra Mundial (Wong, Nguyen, y Ogren, 2012).…”

“…Tradicionalmente, el entrenamiento de los soldados se ha realizado mediante la simulación. Como afirma Murphy (2011 en Wong et al, 2012), a través de los videojuegos podemos focalizar el entrenamiento de los soldados mediante su inmersión en entornos bélicos que no sólo los preparan para el combate, "social aspects are being included, along with goals, points, and competition. These compelling and engaging aspects of the curriculum should aid in learning, increasing motivation and readiness to learn".…”

An Analysis of Increased Vertical Scaling in Three-Dimensional Virtual World Simulation

“…While virtual world technology and training is still a relatively new domain [5], the Army has been an early supporter of this technology [6]. Recent advancements in simulation technology have enabled the rendering of sufficiently realistic virtual environments that can support realistic training [7]. The focus of this research effort was to analyze various methods and server configurations to both improve and optimize the user's distributed virtual environment experience.…”
