Details

• Description:
  In previous work, we developed a software platform to create 3D computer games for mine safety training. "Serious games" can promote critical thinking through authentic game environments that contextualize learning and enable persistent consequences for users actions. In this work, we discuss recent developments in our MineSAFE platform, including new interaction capabilities and extensions for multi-player gaming. We outline game scenarios based on MSHA and NIOSH-sanctioned training materials, with a brief demonstration and feedback from recent usability tests. [Description provided by NIOSH]
