In Playable Cities, edited by Anton Nijholt, several researchers pose ideas for ＂smart cities＂-- developing current metropolitan hubs to allow citizens to ＂playfully connect with [their] environments, and with one another, by way of environments.＂ This involves utilizing underused public data sources and technology so that citizens can have a more active role in the advancement of their city.展开更多

Although its importance is well-established, iterative usability testing is often forgone. Further, serious games present unique challenges that they must be usable, enjoyable, and effective. It is necessary that the game＇s design is evaluated at several stages during development to ensure that all of these objectives are met. A model for incorporating usability testing into development that addresses these three elements is presented, along with guidelines for implementation focused specifically on small serious games development teams. By applying this model to development should ensure that developers are able to efficiently produce more effective serious games.展开更多
