Title: Uma Arquitetura para Integração de Sistemas Hápticos e Engines de Jogos

Authors: Herbet Ferreira Rodrigues e Liliane dos Santos Machado

Resumo: O sentido do tato e a interação física estão entre os aspectos fundamentais em que o ser humano precisa para compreender o mundo e provocar mudanças nele. Para os jogos, os sistemas hápticos podem oferecer um conceito de interação de forma avançada, ampliando o nível de realismo e oferecendo uma maior imersão no ambiente virtual. Este artigo apresenta um estudo, um planejamento e o desenvolvimento de uma arquitetura para integrar uma engine de jogos com sistemas hápticos.

Title: Definição e Aplicação de um Modelo de Processo para o Desenvolvimento de Serious Games na Área de Saúde

Authors: Herbet F. Rodrigues, Liliane dos S. Machado, Ana Maria G. Valença

Abstract: Serious games have been used to identify games with a specific purpose, that is, the ones that overpass the idea of entertainment and provide other kinds of experiences, such as education and training. Despite that, it is necessary to follow a set of steps in its development so that it entirely hits its pedagogical goal. In this sense, this paper presents a process model for the development of serious games and their application in the health care field related to a game of oral health education for adults, providing an integration between computer science, odontology, statistics and education fields of study, in order to reach a good set of approach, content and technology.
