*Fusion of New Technologies to Enhance Serious Games Outcome*

Over the last 10 years, the use of serious games in several fields like
learning, simulation, training, health, well-being, management, assessment
or marketing exploded. We gained a deeper knowledge on their efficiency and
effectiveness, in particular taking into consideration the needs of the
digital natives’ generation, and the single or combined use of scientific
and artistic fields has grown in acceptance. However, there are still
several barriers in the large-scale adoption of serious games. How can
these fields be combined to achieve the best possible results? How to
increase the perceived quality of serious games in front of the latest
emerging entertainment games? How to ensure the capacity of serious games
as valuable learning and training tools?



During JCSG 2017, experts will answer these questions by presenting and
discussing recent developments, focusing on merging different technologies
and arts to provide cutting-edge solutions to further improve the
application of serious games in multiple fields.



The upcoming JCSG 2017 will focus on the challenges and benefits of
combining different new emerging technologies and methods with a special
interest in mixed reality interfaces and neuroscience based tools. It
offers participants a valuable platform to discuss and learn about latest
developments, technologies and possibilities in the development and use of
serious games. Participants can expand their knowledge in the field of
serious games and experience how a fusion of several new technologies can
enhance learning, assessment and clinical outcomes.
