Video games for collection exploration
Amalia Kallergi, Fons J. Verbeek · 2010
In this paper, we establish a link between video games and data collections.In particular, we examine video games as potential interfaces for collection exploration, i.e. as a platform for a more insightful and exploratory interaction with a repository.Furthermore, we question if a more structural relationship between the game and the collection is possible: Can we produce video games based on the structure of a repository?We explore these ideas on theoretical grounds and by means of a prototype game developed as a case study for a scientific image repository.
