SIREN - Social games for conflIct REsolution based on natural iNteraction

Confronting conflicts and coping with them is part of social life. Indeed, conflicts seem to arise in almost every context and developmental stage of human life, from scuffles in schoolyards, to bullying in the workplace and to international warfare. While the question of whether conflicts are inevitable or not is disputed, there is widespread agreement that the current prevalence and lack of resolution to conflicts is incurring substantial cost to society at large. The personal and collective gains that follow conflict resolution have motivated scholars in the fields of law, education, organisational management, psychology and social science, among others, to advocate the use of pro-social mechanisms for resolution. Interventions that may impart individuals with experience in resolving conflicts will be of clear benefit to society.

AGameComIn - Adaptive Game Content using Computational Intelligence

The principal goal of the AGameComIn project is to enhance the experience of computer game-players by developing computational intelligence algorithms that learn mappings between game features and player satisfaction, and the use of computational models as evaluation functions for game content such as rules and environments.

Player Modeling and Procedural Content Generation for WiiHabilitation

This project goes beyond the immediate features of existing physical game technologies (e.g. Wii and Natal) and investigates player modeling and procedural content generation for accelerating the process of physical rehabilitation. The pillars of this project are founded on an ongoing collaboration between the rehabilitation clinic at TÄrnby Sundhedscenter, the IT University of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen Game Collective company.
