BROWNDOG PORTFOLIO: SERIOUS GAMING
SERIOUS GAMING
Since the late 1990's, computer 'gaming' has been recognised by military, medical, emergency response and other organisations as having far more relevance in the real world than merely as entertaining play. With ever-improving technological and communication infrastructures making real-time graphics an option, digital 'learning by doing', or Serious Gaming, offers a whole new mode of learning for all ages.
Our philosophy about virtual reality (VR) is that there should be no pre-rendered sequences and no pre-destined outcomes in an experience - if you make a mistake, you will have to fix it or accept the consequences !
VR applications can seem futuristic and inaccessible to first-timers - for those new to the concept of Serious Gaming, we've developed a Glossary of Terms to aid in translation, and there is more detail on VR at our Products & Services page.
Whilst we will design for integration with appropriate haptic devices, we've also developed a double-mouse plug-in for an affordable lower-end interface. This provides the basic ambidexterity typical in most human activity, using the computer interface we are all still most familiar with.
Browndog is currently using Unity to author and play our VR content. Use the button on the left to download the free player, then click this link to access the world of VR !
