  abstract = {Serious games aim at providing benefits beyond pure entertainment and are a growing area of research. Furthermore, not only the number of serious games increases but also the range of application areas. Today, serious games address physical cognitive social and psychological needs for a different target audience with multiple devices. Serious games are often classified by benefits or purpose within a specific application area, but classifications focused on different user- and game-specific aspects are still rare. In this paper we provide an overview on a selection of serious games for elderly people by extracting and summarizing common categories used to classify games on a general level and especially serious games. Furthermore, a collection of serious games for elderly based on literature research as well as a classification using the summarized categories is presented. By those means, serious games for elderly shall be structured and not sufficiently covered approaches of providing benefits be identified.},

  title = {Measuring the impact of game controllers on player experience in FPS games},
  year = {2011},
  publisher = {ACM},
  address = {New York},
  abstract = {An increasing amount of games is released on multiple platforms, and game designers face the challenge of integrating different interaction paradigms for console and PC users while keeping the core mechanics of a game. However, little research has addressed the influence of game controls on player experience. In this paper, we examine the impact of mouse and keyboard versus gamepad control in first-person shooters using the PC and PlayStation 3 versions of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. We conducted a study with 45 participants to compare player experience and game usability issues of participants who had previously played similar games on one of the respective gaming systems, while also exploring the effects of players being forced to switch to an unfamiliar platform. The results show that players switching to a new platform experience more usability issues and consider themselves more challenged, but report an equally positive overall experience as players on their comfort platform.},

  year = {2011},
  publisher = {Oldenbourg Verlag},
  address = {München},
  abstract = {In this paper we introduce the prototype of a cognitive training environment called “Merobrixx”. Merobrixx is a serious game for players of all ages, including children and elderly people, based on traditional mental rotation training methods. Players interact with the game by means of a Tangible User Interface (TUI), which consists of three-dimensional objects made of LEGO bricks. A first evaluation of the system confirms that the user’s performance in the game is positively related to his or her general mental rotation ability. Based on these findings further research regarding the conditions for a long term training effect is planned.},

Beim individuellen Wohnen bleiben die Einbindung in soziale Kontakte und Interaktionen sowie körperliche Bewegung und Aktivitäten wichtige Faktoren, die gefördert werden sollten. In einer Activity Community soll das Erleben sozialer Interaktion innerhalb einer Social TV Plattform durch den Einsatz von Daten aus Fitness- und Bewegungsspielen angereichert werden. Senioren sollen die Möglichkeit haben, Ziele in kleinen Gruppen gemeinsam zu setzen und durch unterschiedliche Aktivitäten zu erreichen. In diesem Beitrag werden Grenzen bisheriger Systeme zur Unterstützung von sozialer Interaktion und Aktivita?t diskutiert und das Konzept der Activity Community vorgestellt.},

  year = {2010},
  publisher = {CEUR Workshop Proceedings ; 634},
  abstract = {This paper describes a camera-based approach towards
 creating a tangible interface for serious games. We
 introduce our game for dental health targeted at school
 children which implements the Nintendo WiiMote as
 infrared camera. Paired with a gesture-recognition system,
 this combination allows us to apply real-world items as
 input devices. Thereby, the game tries to address different
 aspects of dental hygiene along with the improvement of
 children’s motor skills. In our focus group test, we found
 that tangible interfaces offer great potential for educational
 purposes and can be used to engage kids in a playful
 learning process by addressing their childlike curiosity and
 fostering implicit learning.},
