Design Research and Gamification as applied to Networked Robotics

这个项目的目标是研究和开发游戏设计，将建立用户参与周围 沉浸式系统公司的网真机器人平台产品。网真机器人平台是一个 可以通过互联网控制的机器人教育系统。在技术发展的这个阶段， 开发，远程呈现机器人平台需要进一步完善和调查的游戏 虚拟地将机器人与远程用户连接起来。艾米丽卡尔艺术与设计大学（ECUAD） 提议与Immersive Systems Corp.建立合作伙伴关系，将我们的专业知识应用于游戏设计， 用户界面设计和用户体验对这些游戏的创作。研究课题也将 包括物理场景设计，增强现实叙事技术，物理空间的连接， 通过游戏和角色设计的虚拟空间。创造令人信服的和挑衅性的游戏设计 将使沉浸式系统公司吸引更多的用户到远程呈现机器人平台项目， 展示他们的产品作为一个新的在线平台，连接公司和研究团体。项目 将有助于沉浸式系统公司的整体能力，帮助他们实现最终目标， 成为世界范围内机器人社区的中心。对ECUAD来说，该项目是一个机会， 研究物理空间和虚拟计算机生成的空间之间的联系，使用游戏设计 和游戏，同时发展大学的游戏，模拟和游戏化研究实验室。学生 参与计划可获得专业的游戏设计及制作经验。

The objective of this project is to research and develop game designs that will build user engagement around Immersive Systems Corp.'s Telepresence Robot Platform product. The Telepresence Robot Platform is an educational system of robots that can be controlled over the internet. At this stage in the technology's development, the Telepresence Robot Platform requires further refinement and investigation into the games that virtually connect the robots with their remote users. Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECUAD) is proposing to create a partnership with Immersive Systems Corp. that will apply our expertise in game design, user interface design, and user experience towards the creation of these games.. Research topics will also include physical set design, augmented reality narrative techniques, the connection of physical spaces and virtual spaces through games, and character design. The creation of compelling and provocative game designs will enable Immersive Systems Corp. to attract more users to the Telepresence Robot Platform project and to showcase their product as a new online platform for connecting companies and research groups. The project will contribute to the overall capacity of Immersive Systems Corp, helping them to reach their ultimate goal of becoming a hub for robotic communities on a worldwide scale. For ECUAD, the project is an opportunity to investigate the connection between physical spaces and virtual computer generated spaces using game design and game play, while developing the university's research lab in gaming, simulation and gamification. Students participating in the project will gain professional game design and game production experience.
