DESIGNING SERIOUS GAMES FOR HABILITATION AND LEARNING - FROM EAR TRAINING TO SINGING
Serious games are those designed for purposes other than pure entertainment. In scenarios where traditional applications are less attractive to users due to their lack of fun factors, serious games comes for the rescue by transforming boring and tedious tasks into enjoyable experiences. We propose …
