“…They are used to encourage reflexions on very different subjects such as ecology, migrations, racism, homophoby, democracy and others [17][18][19]. There is now a vast literature on serious games, and also a precise classification was proposed [16]. The learning objectives are integrated in the games, so that the players can learn during the ludic experience.…”

With an expected 50 billion connected devices by 2020, the Internet of Things (IoT) will reshape our environment with great economic opportunities. However, the IoT market evolution will depend directly on the end-user adoption, so it is necessary to support the Large Scale Pilots (LSPs) in order to actively engage end-users in the large scale pilot design, deployment and assessment. In this paper we are presenting enduser engagement methods, including co-creative workshops, crowdsourcing, Living Labs, and developed online tools and resources for end-user engagement, crowdsourcing and personal data protection.

“…Given that we were looking for studies that used video games as emotion stimulation tools, the previously search was complemented including the word "games" in any section of the article. The new search was conducted in the same eight academic databases and produced the following results: ScienceDirect (4), IEEEXplorer (7), SCOPUS (19), EngineeringVillage (8), ISI Web of knowledge (7), ACM (4), EMBASE (0), and PubMed (0), obtaining 49 articles in total.…”

“…Apart from being one of the largest industries of technological development nowadays, video games have become a great source of research in applications oriented toward entertainment, as well as in applications known as "Serious Games," which try to solve problems in fields such as medicine [2the new Medicine degrees of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA, 3], the military [4], education [5,6], business [7], politics, citizenship [8], etc. Throughout the last decade, the convenience and importance of using video games or "Serious Games" have been demonstrated by analyzing the response of the players and potentiating some of their skills, simulating different virtual environments, and objectives that involve the direct participation of the people with the digital world.…”

Emotion recognition techniques using physiological signals and video games –Systematic review–

Emotion recognition systems from physiological signals are innovative techniques that allow studying the behavior and reaction of an individual when exposed to information that may evoke emotional reactions through multimedia tools, for example, video games. This type of approach is used to identify the behavior of an individual in different fields, such as medicine, education, psychology, etc., in order to assess the effect that the content has on the individual that is interacting with it. This article shows a systematic review of articles that report studies on emotion recognition with physiological signals and video games, between January 2010 and April 2016. We searched in eight databases, and found 15 articles that met the selection criteria. With this systematic review, we found that the use of video games as emotion stimulation tools has become an innovative field of study, due to their potential to involve stories and multimedia tools that can interact directly with the person in fields like rehabilitation. We detected clear examples where video games and physiological signal measurement became an important approach in rehabilitation processes, for example, in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatments. Emotion recognition techniques using physiological signals and video games -Systematic review- ResumenLos sistemas de reconocimiento emocional a partir de señales fisiológicas son técnicas innovadoras que permiten estudiar el comportamiento y la reacción de un individuo cuando está expuesto a información que puede evocar reacciones emotivas por medio de herramientas multimedia como, por ejemplo, los videojuegos. Este tipo de enfoque se utiliza para identificar el comportamiento de un individuo en diferentes campos, entre los que están la medicina, la educación y la psicología, entre otros, para evaluar el efecto que tienen los contenidos con los que interactúa. La revisión sistemática que aquí se expone, de artículos que reportan trabajos de reconocimiento emocional con señales fisiológicas y videojuegos entre enero de 2010 y abril de 2016, se realizó con 15 artículos, hallados en ocho bases de datos, los cuales cumplían con los criterios de selección de la búsqueda. Esta revisión sistemática reveló que el uso de videojuegos como herramientas de estimulación emocional se ha convertido en un campo de estudio innovador, debido a su potencial para involucrar historias y herramientas multimedia que pueden interactuar directamente con la persona en campos como la rehabilitación. Se detectaron ejemplos claros donde los videojuegos y la medición de la señal fisiológica se convierten en un enfoque importante para el proceso de rehabilitación, por ejemplo, en los tratamientos de trastorno por estrés postraumático (TEPT).Palabras clave: Biofeedback; Reconocimiento de emociones; Señales fisiológicas; Videojuegos.

“…Ahmed et al [27] have developed a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Trustworthiness Model (TM) that facilitate the use of serious games in egovernment services, and empower citizen engagement and participation. These models are based on serious games that assist governments in increasing citizens' engagement through their online services.…”

Emerging serious games mark the beginning of a new era in video games. Emerging serious games introduce advances in distributed artificial intelligence into their design in order to guide the player’s manipulation of a specific subject in an adaptive way. In this article, we present a city simulator game, called Metropolis, which generates emergent properties. Metropolis can be used by a smart city for city planning, to make collective decisions, and for other purposes. This paper describes why Metropolis can be classified as a serious game. It also analyzes how its emergent properties can be used for managing a smart city, and especially how it promotes e-participation as an e-decision-making tool within the context of urban planning. In addition, this paper explores how Metropolis can be used to analyze a smart city’s emergent citizen and urban patterns (urban spatial distribution) based on strong e-participation.
