Big data analytics for stimulation and response models in gaming and virtual training simulations

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

IFTech is an IT R&D company with a business focus on the design and commercialization of ARAIG which is a sensory immersive wearable technology designed to provide sensory signatures to the wearer. ARAIG is the first multi-sensory multidirectional, force feedback device. ARAIG interacts with the user to increase their immersion based on the situation and/or interactions occurring within a range of media environments. The media environment, activities and interaction taking place in the virtual world, will translate into tangible sensory stimulations. The user becomes more aware of the virtual world through his or her heightened sensitivity. ARAIG's consumer markets consist of the Entertainment Industry (video games and movies), serious games and simulations (military, police, firefighter, etc.), medical (rehabilitation, monitoring, etc.) and augmented awareness (eg hazardous environments, etc.). ARAIG's initial target markets are the video games and serious games and simulations industries. At present, IFTech lack expertise in Big Data analytics and knowledge discovery to create a framework to support the analysis of the sensor signals sent to the wearer together with the analysis of sensor signals measuring the physiological response to enable them to create robust result metrics to demonstrate the improved engagement within either the recreational game or serious game by the participant. Creating a framework to support Big Data analytics of sensor data when used both in the recreational game setting as well as the serious game setting for military and law enforcement tactical training represents an innovative technique that will greatly enhance the competitiveness of ARAIG.
