“…An early approach was the integration of artificial life simulations with serious games focusing on the behavioural representation of species in fragile or long-vanished landscapes and ecosystems [20]. Another approach was the Dolphyn system [4], which consisted of an underwater-computerized display system with various sensors and devices conceived for existing swimming pools and for beach shores, associating computer functions, video gaming and multisensory simulations. More recently, a serious game was developed for seafaring [16] and incorporated probabilistic geospatial analysis of possible ship routes through the re-use and spatial analysis from open Geographical Information System (GIS) maritime, ocean, and weather data.…”

There are different ways of discovering underwater archaeological sites. This paper presents search techniques for discovering artefacts in the form of two different educational games. The first one is a classical serious game that assesses two maritime archaeological methods for search and discovering artefacts including circular and compass search. Evaluation results with 30 participants indicated that the circular search method is the most appropriate one. Based on these results, an immersive virtual reality search and discovery simulation was implemented. To educate the users about underwater site formation process digital storytelling videos were used when an artefact is discovered.

Recently, augmented Reality (AR) is growing rapidly and much attention has been focused on interaction techniques between users and virtual objects, such as the user directly manipulating virtual objects with his/her bare hands. Therefore, the authors believe that more accurate overlay techniques will be required to interact more seamlessly. On the other hand, in AR technology, since the 3-dimensional (3D) model is superimposed on the image of the real space afterwards, it is always displayed on the front side than the hand. Thus, it becomes an unnatural scene in some cases (occlusion problem). In this study, this system considers the object-context relations between the user's hand and the virtual object by acquiring depth information of the user's finger using a depth sensor. In addition, the system defines the color range of the user's hand by performing principal component analysis (PCA) on the color information near the finger position obtained from the depth sensor and setting a threshold. Then, this system extracts an area of the hand by using the definition of the color range of the user's hand. Furthermore, the fingers are distinguished by using the Canny method. In this way, this system realizes hidden surface removal along the area of the user's hand. In the evaluation experiment, it is confirmed that the hidden surface removal in this study make it possible to distinguish between finger boundaries and to clarify and process finger contours.
