Full textThe objective of this thesis is to define a new approach of the interactive narrative for video games. This approach has to lead to a game able of building an interactive narrative, adapted to player's behaviour, during the course of execution. We assume this objective implies the definition of a controlling system for narrative in games, and the development of interactive structures of narrative. Our approach consists in proposing architecture which allows to combine interactivity and structuralization of the narrative for the video games. Its principle is to control the execution of the game to guarantee the interest of the narrative while allowing the player's freedom of action. Three propositions will be studied to reach this purpose: a new approach of the interactive narrative for the video games, a software architecture allowing for video game control and a set of data structures required for the controlling system. A state of the art presents a survey of the works having preceded those presented in this report. We first resume the recent works led on the interactive narrative. We make it then a reminder on controlling architectures for systems of production and the links which it is possible to establish between these methods and the control of narrative in games. Then, we present roleplaying games as activity of narrative interactive game, by creating in what he can be a relevant source of inspiration in our situation. Finally, we make an outline of the contribution of semiotics in video games and study a set of known models of narratives. The main contribution consists of a new approach of the interactive narrative in the video games, and a proposition of a controlling system for video games which uses models of the game, of the player, and of narrative construction. It is accompanied with a study on three typical narrative structures: the Aristotelian narrative, the use of dramatic tension as an element of narrative structuralization, and Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. For each of these structures, we present a study of its functioning, a proposition of adaptation in structure of interactive narrative and an integration in our main proposition. This contribution is supported by four prototypes having served for validating and for illustrating of the previous propositions: a game of Schoolyard, illustrating the principle of dynamic narrative construction from an autonomous game's environment, a narrative approach of the Tetris game, to identify and pilot an underlying structure of narrative inside a puzzle game, a labyrinth implementing control on several levels of granularity, and finally an adaptation of our controlling system to remotely command a robot and make it play with a human being. Finally, a conclusion presents an outcome of these works, of the contributions and limits brought by our proposition, as well as a set of new perspectives as interactive narrative in multi-players games and dynamic generation of environments for interactive narrative

Full textThis doctoral thesis, entitled "Narrative engagement in video games as a learning engagement for the player/learner in formal and informal contexts," is an interdisciplinary work closely linked to other fields such as game studies, ludology, narratology, and sociology. State of the art concerning video games presents a list of research that is interested in the study of learning (formal or informal) of different disciplines and knowledge through video games, as well as studies that focus on the narrative specificities of these games. On the other hand, our interest is in the impact of narrative engagement on learning engagement in formal and informal contexts based on entertainment and serious games.The results of this work thus aim to contribute to reflection on the role of this engagement for the involvement of players/learners in their learning journey. We sought to propose some experimental paths at the end of the research. To understand this possible relationship, this work seeks to investigate the specificities linked to three main elements of this dynamic: the player/learner, the learning context (formal or informal), and the type of video game (serious game and entertainment games). The results come from data analysis collected in a case study carried out with students at the University of Côte d'Azur over 16 months.The thesis is structured into three main parts. The first part brings together theoretical elements linked to the three main pillars of our work (player, context, and video game). From the gathering and crossing of concepts from different fields of knowledge, we seek to understand how video games and learning have been linked throughout history (intentionally or not) and how the mechanisms of narrative engagement and learning work from the use of serious games and entertainment video games for the player/learner. Guided by the reflections from the first part, the second part of this work presents the methodology, the different data collection tools used, and the processing of this data of various natures. Our objective was not to reduce the two types of engagement to a single analytical sphere, but rather to explore them in their various dimensions, which required the construction of a hybrid protocol that articulated data collection tools as diverse as standardized questionnaires, interviews, observation, and video capture. Finally, in the third part of the work, we present the results obtained and propose a multivariate analysis of those collected before, during, and after the video game sessions. At the end of the study, it was possible to observe a relationship between the two types of commitment for the research participants. However, this relationship is conditioned by respect for certain specificities linked to the players, the context, and the games: the player's learning style, the narrative potential of the game, and the interaction between the players

Full textThis study examines the social representations of gender in popular video games, with a special focus on the narrative role of the characters, the sexual division of labour in social imaginary, the intersectionality, the imagery of gendered bodies, and the personality traits. Consequently, the objective of this study can be illustrated by the following question: what is the state of social imaginary of gender in video games? Previous studies were not able to correctly tackle the complexity of the question, either because the data collection only considered video games superficially or the social scientist started with the assumption that the best way to understand representations of gender was to study the gamers themselves. The purpose of this study is to approach cultural productions in a direct and holistic fashion. This will allow the exploration of the current representations of gender in thegaming community, particularly the ones that seem normal or “natural” that can go unnoticed when using another method. Hence, 46 video games were considered and played wholly, which resulted in a total of 950 different characters that were studied. This study will allow a better understanding of gender in popular imaginary of video games, and to consider the challenge to reduce the inequalities between the sexes.

Full textThis thesis aims to create and evaluate a narrative model for emergent videogames that make extensive use of procedurally generated content. As such, an application of this model is presented within the videogame Minecraft. The usual approach to narratives in videogames can hardly be applied to experiences of play that involve more freedom from the player's perspective, such as what offer emergents videogames. Thus, we aim to provide players with the means to explicitly alter the story in real time, thanks to a context sensitive and modular narrative form. First, we explore the relationship betweenstorytelling and interactivity by studying the various roles held by narratives in videogames. Then, we identify the properties that define emergent videogames to better expose the narrative challenges they represent. Next, we detail our proposal of a narrative model suitable for emergent games as well as the architecture allowing players to transform the story in real time. Finally, we present an experiment in which we evaluate the validity of our narrative model in the context of emergent videogames

Full textEnigmas are one of the main obstacles of video games. If some genres require solving puzzles, most games also vary the challenges they face their player with by proposing problems to solve. If the confrontation against enemies or the crossing of platforms seem to be defined elements in video games studies, enigmas introduce a new problem. It is indeed a figure older than video gaming which presents itself through various forms and generates various effects. Faced with such a profusion, a study of video game enigmas should focus on the two poles of the problem: enigma as a figure – rupture it causes in the player's understanding of the game – and the enigmatic effect which, although without any formal enigma, instills a doubt as to the interpretation of the video game experience. On the one hand, a figural analysis of video games must be done while looking back at the evolution of the figure and the major questions (metaphor, mimesis) that it reformulates by operating in a specific way through video game apparatus. On the other hand, enigma and enigmatic and at the core of a consideration of videogame communication devoted to the effects of the game on the player, and also of a poetical consideration since one must reflect on the importance of the effectiveness and the creative force that the player seeking solutions conveys. The great enigmatic structures that develop through video games and can be found in enigmas (such as quest) will shed light on the understanding of the experience of meaning which is at the heart of these hermeneutic issues. While considering enigma as a figure, we draw attention to the fundamental communication matter that that the study of the video game discourse between the game and its player constitutes

Full textIn this thesis, we study attention evaluation methods and their application to the management of difficulty within the context of video games. The consideration of attentional processes plays an important role in the development of human-computer interfaces. The disruption of these attentional processes can be used symmetrically as a variable for adjusting game difficulty. Our first approach was to measure user reaction time, which we did in the context of a serious game. By analyzing the trajectories of a mouse cursor controlled by the player, our approach allows us to detect abnormal reaction time values. This led us to consider how the amount of information displayed on screen could alter player performance. Our second approach, therefore, was to measure the effects produced by variations in the field of view of the virtual camera in a 3D first-person game. Finally, we studied how the distribution of user attention across multiple devices for the execution of a simple task could affect performance relative to the use of a single device. This study showed that the use of two devices in parallel causes a significant increase in difficulty

Full textLorsqu'un compositeur écrit de la musique pour un media linéaire comme le cinéma il nous propose un début et une fin entre les deux un parcours sonore défini qui doit accompagner ce qui se passe à l'écran. Le compositeur connaissant l'enchaînement et la date de tous les évènements. Il peut ainsi construire son oeuvre en fonction de se savoir. Le sound designer d'un jeu vidéo, ne possède généralement pas d'autant de certitudes lors de la composition sonore du jeu. Celui-ci doit penser son oeuvre comme une structure dynamique devant être intégrée dans le jeu et devant s'adapter aux états de ce dernier, états qu'il aura préalablement identifiés afin d'être soulignés auditivement. Cette mise en relation entre le système de jeu et le système son ayant pour but de renforcer l'immersion du joueur ainsi que la cohérence de l'univers de jeu. Cette approche dynamique, temps-réel, de la création sonore impose au sound designer d'adapter et de penser sa production musicale afin que celle-ci puisse remplir son rôle dans le cadre du jeu. Pour rendre cela possible, les outils de conception sonore doivent tenir compte des spécificités de l'écriture sonore pour le jeu video et par conséquent permettre aux sound designer de définir des processus temps-réel calculant un résultat sonore, en se reposant sur une logique musicale et des processus de synthèse sonore, en fonction des états de jeu. Ces outils doivent permettre l'intégration d'une bande son dynamique, jusqu'à son matériau musical même, en se basant éventuellment sur des techniques audio procédurales. Cette approche dynamique doit permettre la création d'univers sonore riche mais aussi de faciliter la production des jeux actuelles dont la complexité ne cesse de croître. Dans ce contexte les problématiques liés aux contenus procudéraux deviennent de plus en plus centrale et ce dans tous le domaine de la création vidéoludique (animation, graphisme,. . . )

Full textThis thesis is to study video games in France. Thirty years of existence, this new leisure appeared commercially in the mid-1970s in the United States, became a real industry in the same way as film or music.Its emergence and development go hand in hand with the beginnings and the development of computing leisure and public computers with the game is one of the elements determinant of their success.We will thus examine everything that relates to this industry, its economy (market players, trade policy), various gaming machines and games (design, genres, themes). We will analyze players, their profiles, their tastes as well as the French press and the various events (exhibitions, contests, competitions) related to this media.We will also talk about influences and inspirations of the video game, on the relationship of the arts and other recreation. On the other hand, we will mention the obstacles encountered and the charges to the video games (violence, disease, isolation) as well as their political dimension and vision and action policies and Governments on this industry.In short, the purpose of such a topic is to understand and to explain this new type of leisure, but also reflect on the meaning that has its development and how it is representative of the evolution of French society over the past thirty years

Full textThe increasingly early and extended practice of video games seems to lead the researchers towards the study of its bonds and its effects on the gamers according to four principal axes: modifications of social relations-ship, relation between real and virtual, violence and addiction. The alarming consequences related to an abuse lead us to privilege the analysis of video game addiction, by including the support of game, under the angle of the functions of this activity in the psychic economy of gamers in order to succeed, in the future, with the proposal for adapted therapeutic solutions. The population comprises 52 gamers: 25 old from 15 to 17 years, 27 of more than 18 years; 27 in high phase of play and 25 in low phase. The tools used are SCL-90-R, EAJV, TCA and KAPP. The results indicate that, in our population, video game can be found as an activity of use and temporary addictif installation in the gamers having a neurotic structure of the personality, and as a significant addictive activity at those having a borderline organization. The support of game, which can be invested symbolically by the gamers, can give place to an addiction that maximizes the total level of addiction. The video games can have, in the psychic economy of the gamers, autoerotic and self-medication functions. The best activities of replacement to this practice seem to be, according to gamers', those which have an anal and phallic symbolic

Full textIn this thesis, we produce measurement tools to characterize the design of an avatar and evaluate the player’s engagement. These are two critical points for the design of video games and serious games. Engagement is widely studied in different research fields and it is not defined yet. The feeling of presence and the desire to pursue the game are two elements of the player’s engagement. Theoretically, the feeling of responsibility is also a part of it. This sensation can be similar to the player experience. The player and the game form a dynamic system. The graphical environment is part of this system. Its semantic aspects or its consistency keeps the player engaged. On the other hand, the avatar is a dynamic object from this virtual environment of the game. Its character design has an impact on one's behaviors in virtual environments and in the video game. Some tools and methods seem effective to measure the player’s engagement, describe the player’s behaviors or characterize an avatar. But these tools and classifications are unsuitable for research studies in video games and for designers. We conducted three experiments to test the effectiveness of our methods and tools. First, we define the feeling of responsibility in video games. The results show that this feeling is a component of the player's engagement and it can be measured. We propose a method and we test our classification of video games' images. This classification can be used by designers. Its use can occur interesting theoretical analysis of images. Finally, we design a video game, Sympathy, dedicated to studies on the avatar and the player’s engagement. We conclude that avatars' design according to our classification have influenced the behavior of play

Full textIn our society, women are sexually objectified and are the target of sexist behaviors. Media and video games are a main channel of sexism and objectification of women. Several studies show that video game can impact players’ behavior. However the influence of sexist video games on negative perception of women is rather indefinite. In this thesis, we study the possible relationship between video games and the negative perception of women, to focus on its psychological mechanism. We argue that video games can work as a prime, activating in players’ memory some association between women and object, or some association between self-concept and masculinity, which in turn can increase negative perception of women. We also hypothesize that men, or players who highly identified with sexist game characters, are most impacted by sexist content of video games.In three studies we showed that there is an association between playing sexist video games and sexist attitudes, or women objectification. However we do not find that men are most impacted than women. Thus in other studies we test the moderating role of identification with sexist game character. In one study we show that players who highly identified with sexist game character associated more their self-concept with masculinity and gave more importance to women appearance rather than to her competence. In two other studies, we show that playing with sexist video game increases implicit associations of women with objects (especially for participants who highly identified with sexist game characters); however in the last study we do not replicate this result. Taken together, these studies show that regular video game playing is related to negative perception of women. Our results also suggest that identification plays a role in the impact of sexist video games and they encourage us to consider sexist content of video games as a prime that can make accessible some mental representations about one self or about women

Full textThe topic of this doctoral thesis are dogs. After the Tamagotchi phenomenon, the release of the video game Nintendogs in 2005 created a new animal: the “realistic” virtual dog. As a new leisure activity, video games represent today an internationally influential industry which is situated at a crossing point with popular art culture: comics, animation etc. More generally, the digital revolution our societies are currently witnessing shows the importance of monitor screens and of communication.The central question of this thesis is how these media have come to redefine our relationship to dogs and to influence our perception of animals in a completely new dimension. A large inventory of references of different media was used going from cinema to Gameboy via publicity, from literary classics to Panini sticker albums via comics, from oeuvres which are famous all over the world to oeuvres which are usually not considered as such. The numerous representations of dogs in these domains announce the advent of the virtual dog.In conclusion, our objective is to understand the history of the illusion of movement, of the relationship between books and virtual animals, i.e. to trace the archaeology of dogs in video games. To write a history of dogs in which reality and virtuality are no longer clearly separable

Full textRecent studies have explored social forms of the optimal experience (i.e. group flow and team flow). However, knowledge about these processes and ways to identify them, is very limited. Therefore, the present thesis aims, first, to define the team flow and its conceptual dimensions, and second, to create a new method to detect the different forms of flow through observation of players’ behavior and game replays. In this vein, three studies were carried out on different cooperative games (League of Legends, Resident Evil 5…) and revealed that: 1) team flow is a phenomenon qualitatively different from individual flow and therefore posseses unique conceptual dimensions; 2) positive interdependence and shared mental models seem to play a major role in the emergence of team flow. Positive interdependence links players in action and points them in a common direction. Mental models appear to allow players to build a shared organizational framework that promotes the emergence of an effective and smooth cooperation; 3) flow, team flow and group flow are mental states that seem to be possibly detectable by observing players’ behavior and their actions in the game. The joint outcomes of these studies help to define the optimum cooperative experience, its functioning, its specific characteristics compared to the individual version of flow, as well as ways to identify these mental states in real time. After discussing the main results of this thesis, we suggest research perspectives and applications beyond the scope of gaming

Full textThis thesis focuses on provisioning and resource management with guaranteed end-to-end Quality of Service in the inter-domain networks. Our main contribution consists in proposing a new model for provisioning stocks of capacity that we have called Stock Model. The process of reservation between several domains for purchasing capacity is based on a reverse cascade approach. Each domain wishing to purchase a route to a given destination must negotiate with its potential provider neighbor that has offered capacity to this destination. Provisioning a stock of capacity on a given route by a domain aims to satisfy demands of its internal customers to the destination of this route and to sell the rest of capacity to its neighboring domains. Each domain purchases capacity in a way to increase its profit. In order to investigate Stock Model, we have proposed in a first time a dynamic model allowing the implementation of contracts establishment protocol that is based on Stock Model. This dynamic model is also based on an iterative process and distributed algorithms. In a second time, we have proposed a static model that is based on game and learning theory, and also based on distributed algorithms. The static model is also proposed in order to compare it with the dynamic model

Full textFor the last ten years, we witness how the inherent learning properties of videogames entice several creators into exploring their potential as a medium of expression for diverse and innovative (serious) purposes. Learning is at the core of the play experience, but it usually takes place at the affective and psychomotor domains. When the learning targets the serious content, cognitive/instructional designers must ensure its effectiveness at the cognitive domain. In such eminently multidisciplinary teams (game, technology, cognition, art), understanding and communication are essential for an effective collaboration from the early stage of inception. In a software engineering approach, we focus on the (multidisciplinary) activities of the development process rather than the disciplines themselves, with the intent to uniform and clarify the field. Then, we propose a software foundation that reinforces this multidisciplinary model thanks to an underdesign approach that favors the creation of collaborative design workspaces. Thereby, Genome Engine can be considered as a data-driven sociotechnical infrastructure that provides non-programmer developers, such as game designers and eventually cognitive designers, with a means to actively participate in the construction of the product design, rather than evaluating it once in usage time. Its architecture is based on a component-based application framework with an entity system of systems runtime object model, which contributes to modularity, reuse and adaptability, as well as to provide familiar abstractions that ease communication. Our approach has been extensively evaluated with the development of several serious game projects

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the stakes and strategies behind the apparition of fear in novels and video games. Through a comparative approach, I intend to theorize the bridging of these mediums and the paradigms structuring scary fictions. At the core of this work lie the ability of video games and literature to create uncertainty and strangeness from a rigorous code (be it textual, digital or game rules) during the interaction with the reader/gamer and the conflicting interdependence between mimesis (as a shaping of reality) and phantasia (as a resurgence of a reality that defies reason).As fear’s catalyst, the monster is at the heart of my formal analysis. The synthesis of a large corpus allows for an identification of four archetypes from which the various manifestations of monstrosity spread: the barbarian, the gorgon, the phantom and the chimera. These figures personify the dark corners of western culture. The barbarian embodies the confrontation with an alien whom invades a familiar environment as well as the violent and chaotic base upon which rests civilization. The gorgon represents the radical otherness, fascinating and terrifying. To go near it is to venture out of the world and to run the risk of being contaminated by the monster, becoming unable to go back home. The phantom conveys the stakes of the haunting, of an undead past that is still part of the present. As the baring of a tearing in time continuity, it is to be reintegrated through the solving of the enigma it poses. Ultimately, the chimera is the one who transgresses categories. With its numerous faces, it defies the rational organisation of reality. Finally, a study of the author’s figure, of the adaptation process and of the fictional worlds extensions offers an outlook on the mobility of monsters and their capacity to cross borders, whether they are creative intents, mediatic frames of worlds of fiction.These conclusions are based on a dialogue between literary works and video games selected in a diverse corpus that aims to merge analytical thoroughness and an encompassing vision

Full textModeling the gaming experience is of considerable interest for designing adaptive video games. Adaptive video games use the emotional information contained in physiological signals and behavioral cues to personalize the video game experience,in order to generate an optimal gaming experience. With the purpose of modeling the gaming experience, this research project has focused on the detection of a player’s fun using physiological signals (electrocardiogram, electrodermal activity, respiratory activity and electromyogram) and behavioral cues (facial expressions,head movements and facial expressions and inputs from an Xbox controller). In this work, supervised machine learning models (SVM, Random Forest and kNN) were trained on a dataset built from the FUNii database, which contains the physiobehavioral data of 219 players spread over 362 game sessions of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. A method for creating fun classes from the fun factor, a tool for continuous annotation of fun, has also been proposed. The best model trained allowed to distinguish three classes of pleasure with an accuracy of 53, 5% on a test dataset, an improvement of 12, 5% compared to the best result obtained in previous works.

Full textA stroke is among the major causes of adults' disability and death worldwide. To date, a growing amount of research studies have been devoted to improve rehabilitation strategies by including serious games in the therapeutic process. The benefit of serious games lies in providing patients with a customized and immersive training environment. The thesis focuses on an adaptation technique that seeks to enhance the patients' training outcomes while maintaining their motivation. It is based on the assessment of the patient's motor abilities to dynamically adapt the game difficulty. The technique has been evaluated through experiments with healthy players, therapists and stroke patients. The results of the evaluation show that the adaptive technique has increased the training outcomes in terms of the number of tasks, number of successful tasks as well as the movement amplitude. In addition, it has also maintained the players' motivation compared with the control strategies. This can therefore be promising to enhance stroke patients' recovery

Full textThe aim of this research is to explore the psychological variables primarily involved in the Problematic Use of Video Games (PUVG) in adolescents and secondarily in Social Networks (SN) and Mobile Phones (MP). Thus, 1423 high school and college children from Ile de France region were recruited of which 92.1% had played video games in the past year with a sex ratio of 1. Players are more likely to have consumed alcohol, have lower scores on depressive symptoms, and higher "sensation seeking" and "emotionality" than non-players. Those with PUVG (17.7%) are younger, started playing earlier in life and play for more time, often on computers and in a guild. They have worse academic performances, gamble excessively and frequently and start drinking younger. Their scores on “positive urgency”, and “lack of perseverance” are higher while those on “activity” are lower. Scores on excessive gambling are positively correlated to time spent playing video games and PUVG. The latter, is positively correlated with scores on anxious-depressive symptomatology, “timidity” and impulsivity while it is negatively correlated with life satisfaction, “activity” and “sociability.” Youngsters on SN (85.9%) or MP (93.2%) are more often girls and are associated with substance use. Despite some limitations of our study, our results provide new data on PUVG, SN and MP

Product placement seems to have an important postion among the favorite methods to communicate with them particularly in sitcoms and videogames, important leisures in their daily. Each medium offers different experiences of which brands will attempt to take advantage of. His thesis study teenagers's responses to product placements in this two mediums, using consumption experience as frame of analysis. In this order, it uses different qualitative data collections : experts of product placement interviews, netnography, individual interviews and focus group with teenagers. Finally, product placement in sitcoms and videogames appear as an interresting mean to communicate toward the young target. If experts consider the pratice through cognitive logical, teenager brand culture as well as medium consumption experiences seems to have to be integrated in their reflexions about product placement

Full textThis PhD thesis addresses the topic of creating artificial intelligence (AI) to control high-level decision-making in strategy games. This kind of game offers complex environments that require the manipulation of a large number of resources by choosing actions depending on long-term goals. This AI design is not simple because it is about providing to the player a playful and interesting experience. Hence, the aim is not to create unbeatable behaviors, but rather to display several personality traits allowing the player to face diverse opponents. Its creation involves game designers who are responsible of defining several strategies according to the experience they want to provide to the player, and game developers who implement those strategies to put them into the game. The collaboration between them requires many exchanges and development iterations to obtain a result corresponding to game designers’ expectations. The objective of this PhD thesis is to improve and simplify the creation of strategical behaviors by proposing a strategy model intelligible to game designers and that can be interfaced easily with developers’ work. For game designers, a strategy model has been created to allow them to express rules guiding the choice of goals and their allocated resources. These rules make it possible for game designers to express which goal to choose according to the context but also to choose several of them and give them relative importance in order to influence the resource distribution. To improve intelligibility we use a graphical model inspired from finite state machines and behavior trees. Our proposition also includes a strategy engine which executes the strategies created with the model. This execution produces directives that are represented by a list of selected strategical goals and the resources that have been allocated according to the importance and needs of each goal. These directives are intended for a tactical module in charge of their application. The developers are then responsible for the implementation of this tactical module. Our solution enables game designers to directly design the strategical level of an AI and therefore facilitates their cooperation with game developers and simplifies the entire creation process of the AI

Full textThis entails a research project which arose in response to a need in clinical work with several young adolescents from diverse backgrounds exhibiting “selective mutism”. Their refusal to speak on the psychologist's couch posed a challenge in therapy. We therefore created a mediation apparatus composed of a life simulation video game and a fictional genogram. We attempted to demonstrate that the teenagers in question can recover verbal symbolization not requiring access to the real version of their family histories which are at the root of the problem. Fictional creativity and the interpersonal work with the psychologist can suffice. Theories on symbolism and subjectivation as well as trans-generational psychoanalysis are at the heart of the notions which allowed us to understand and to conceptualize the process we put in practice

Full textThe fields of virtual reality and video games summon the emotional issues in their respective goals of presence and flow area. However the question of methodologies for inducing emotions in virtual environments in these mediums has not yet been widely questioned. After defining what emotions are in the philosophical, as in psychologist and physiologist literature, we seek to show existing links between emotion and states of presence in virtual reality and flow zone in video games. We show how the level of knowledge of the mediums may influence susceptibility to induction of emotions in virtual environments. Then we define a way of inducing emotions based on an iterative level management challenge in relation to the skill level.We validated through two empirical experiments that involved 176 participants a methodology for inducing emotions based on a circumplex pattern. This scheme built around the valence and arousal level of emotion, able to induce emotions in the five essential items component of the design of virtual environments for virtual reality and video games: color, brightness, movement speed, size of the space, and the volume of social interactions.Keywords: virtual reality, video games, emotions, presence, flow area

Full textVideo games simulate the informational complexity of reality. In this task, it is subject to the calculation limits of the digital machine. Unconsciously, and as the machine evolves, the video game rewrites a history of architectural representation by seeking its optimum: the most effective architectural design figure to display the information that makes it playable. The figures generated by the two disciplines allow us to demonstrate that video games restore a form of habitability in the architect's project. It is defined above all as an architectured two-dimensional representation. The BIM model that integrates the physical data of the material is the only figure in the architectural project that has not yet been exploited by video games. In the experimental part of this study, we will undertake the realization of a game that tests our hypotheses: RUCKBALL. We will try to understand the modalities of the architectural project in this bodyless environment. We will observe the current limitations of reality simulation in this field. Finally, we will conclude by formulating a prospective study on the future of these two disciplines

Full textThe thesis presented in this manuscript offers a methodological framework used to design, implement and validate a virtual learning environment for mechanical engineering. It takes advantage of the recent advances in the domain of virtual reality to build upon existing research in the field of virtual environments for learning. This work is focused on specific interaction modalities leveraged in a virtual training for teaching learners to operate actual machine tools. Application of this research leads to the development of a prototype in which the primary findings are illustrated and described through the following steps : preparation of a pedagogical scenario, technical and ergonomic choices guiding the implementation of the application, design of an immersive and interactive virtual environment for learning, and finally the validation of such an application. Experimentation with teachers and student in the field of mechanical engineering brought to light the genuine interest from the teachers or the tool they tested and allowed us to validate our approach upon the success factors for learning game : usability, acceptability and utility

Full textThis thesis aims to study the relation between the expertise in video games and the motivational and emotional aspects of the user experience in the context of using Serious Games. This research is articulated around two axes: a first axis concerning the construction and validation of an interest for Serious Game scale and an evaluative test of expertise in video games, and a second axis concerning the study of the relation between expertise in video games and user experience in Serious Games, or “useful games”. We propose a measure of expertise in video games based on the lexical, pictorial and semantic knowledge acquired in this practice, based on theories on expert memory, the theory of working memory and the theory of encyclopaedic memory. Otherwise, we propose a measure of interest for Serious Games. The development of theses scales resulted successively in validation of an interest scale in Serious Games – the IS2G scale- and an expertise in video games test –the TECEJV. Finally we propose to study the relationship between expertise in video games, and motivational aspects in the user experience. This work led us to demonstrate that there is an effect of Serious Game's expertise and type on the motivational and emotional aspects of the user experience in the context of using Serious Games. Indeed, the Serious Game's expertise and Gameplay significantly affect the situational interest maintained and the Flow. This new light has thus been built in the light of a context of learning via the Serious Games in full swing

Full textVideo games interrogate more and more the clinical psychology since early 2000's. They are in the center of numerous controversies about its uses and its alleged misdeeds. Despite this, some videogame practices tend to trivialize today. However, the discourse of addictologists, media, parents and educators, players themselves or of psychoanalysis, often convey a truth obscured by the language that continues to question us. Notably, it raises the issue of the origins, history, and the effects of this truth on the subject that interests us. Say that play "maybe like drugs" is very eloquent about the representations we make, as a society, relating to the game, as the video game. But it's very eloquent, too, about some discontent about new technologies and youth in general. It is this discontent, we think carefully collect in certain demands, and in some symptomatic clinical manifestations, even in some "synthomatical" manifestations. This thesis attempts to question the history and characteristics of the video game as a playful object, before presenting the reports of the video game to the clinic, to finally conclude with a reflection on the discourse about the videogame and their possible effects in the clinic

Full textWith the arrival of cloud computing technology, game accessibility and ubiquity havea bright future. Games can be hosted in a centralize server and accessed through theInternet by a thin client on a wide variety of devices with modest capabilities: cloudgaming. Some of the advantages of using cloud computing in game context includes:device ubiquity, computing exibility, affordable cost and lowered set up overheads andcompatibility issues. However, current cloud gaming systems have very strong requirementsin terms of network resources, thus reducing their widespread adoption. In factdevices with little bandwidth and people located in area with limited network capacity,cannot take advantage of these cloud services. In this thesis we present an adaptationtechnique inspired by the level of detail (LoD) approach in 3D graphics. It is based ona cloud gaming paradigm in other to maintain user's quality of experience (QoE) byreducing the impact of poor network parameters (delay, loss, bandwidth) on game interactivity.Our first contribution consist of game models expressing game objects and theircommunications needs represented by their importance in the game. We provided twodifferent ways to manage objects' importance using agents organizations and gameplaycomponents. We then provided a level of detail approach for managing network resourcedistribution based on objects importance in the game scene and network conditions. Weexploited the dynamic objects importance adjustment models presented above to proposeLoD systems adapting to changes during game sessions. The experimental validation ofboth adaptation models showed that the suggested adaptation minimizes the effects oflow and/or unstable network conditions in maintaining game responsiveness and player'sQoE

Full textVideo game addiction is not yet a fully recognized diagnosis. To address this phenomenon, we question the concept of addiction without substance. Known as a behavioral addiction in DSM-V, pathological gambling is the prototype of addictions without substance. The excessive use of video games has been the subject of multiple comparisons with pathological gambling. With the advent of Internet, research and the clinical approach have highly focused on the excessive use of online games. In light of the current literature, we have chosen to address video game addiction according to the plurality of existing games and the different games modes. Our research lies in the scope of cognitive psychology and is rooted in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. The first study allows to specify the emotional, cognitive and behavioral functionings of assiduous video game players. We describe a set of psychological phenomena that are resonant with the current literature on video game addiction. In addition, some cognitions of players draw near to anticipatory, relief-oriented and permissive beliefs described by Beck et al. (1993). For us, specific cognitions and behaviors underlie an attention process which is directed towards the game for some and outwards of the game for others. We explore different game moments: before, during and after the game but also, at the moment of winning and losing. Comparisons between the game moments reveal a dynamic of emotions, cognitions and behaviors related to the game. The second study involves the operationalization of psychological variables identified in the first study and the construction of a new measure of video game addiction. This questionnaire allowed us to establish separate groups of players considered excessive and non-excessive video game players. Between these players, we performed statistical comparisons based on the emotions, cognitions and behaviors that are specific to our studies. From our results, therapeutic proposals related to CBT are discussed. An adaptation of addiction model of Beck et al. (1993) is proposed. Two case studies allow to illustrate these results and to address the specific clinical approach of the video game addiction. In addition to the conclusions related to our work, we discuss on new research avenues that seem to predict future studies on video game addiction. Even if we remain cautious, some current data converge towards the link between addiction and excessive use of video games. Our findings are added to this argumentation. With the proposal of "Internet gaming disorder" in Section III of the DMS-V, it is all the more necessary to continue studies

Full textRecently, the world witnesses an increasing number of the dementia cases in the older population, which causes an important impact in the society. This phenomenon attracts the attention of many researchers in multi-disciplines. Various socio-medical non-drug solutions have been proposed in which cognitive stimulation takes a place among the possible choices. In parallel, video games have been involved in many healthcare projects as privileged support for both extending and solving the limits of non-drug treatments. However, using video game for older adults with dementia in long period of time is considered as a difficult activity. They do not have the same gaming experiences as the young generation and cannot use actively and independently this tool because of memory and cognitive troubles caused by the disease. In this thesis, an approach with the purpose of maintaining the engagement of older adults with dementia while playing video game is proposed. This approach aims to provide dynamically the appropriate interactions to the users based on the current situation encompassing their physical activities and game activities. A support system is developed for validating the approach throughout 3 experiments with participants recruited from the memory center. The results show that : 1) older adults with dementia can interact successfully with the support system, 2) their game performance (playing time, accuracy rate, learning effect) is maintained, 3) the effectiveness of the support system is similar to the one of a therapist. Future work aims at testing the support system at home for long periods of time with older adults with dementia

Full textThis thesis studies videogame design as an « historiographical operation » (« opération historiographique »). It approaches a work of selection, appropriation and shaping of historical sources set within a « development environment circumscribed by specific determinations ». To study the conception of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed : Freedom Cry we use the concept of ludoformation. We anchor our research questions in both history and videogame studies. Our thesis supports that the designers’ documentation practices feed an « historiographical project » at the heart of videogame design, involving both a project of ludic mediation (communicating the object’s gameplay) and one of historical mediation (representing the past). We present in which cases the historical mediation serves the ludic mediation, that is to say, how representations of the past are used to communicate the game’s rules, objectives and mechanics. We then show how the ludic mediation serves the historical mediation, that is how designers, while summoning historical sources in the creative process, are adopting practices revealing of a critical distance as well as a reflexion on the specificity of the ludic engagement of the player’s engagement with the past

Full text"Serious gaming" is a recent approach, using the techniques implemented in video games, to conduct "serious" activities such as communication, awareness and learning. Serious games have now become an essential element of online training. This thesis takes place in the context of serious games for training. Indeed, whatever the preferred meaning, many research questions arise. In particular, how can we assess the knowledge acquired by the player / learner through the game? We have focused on case study type games used especially in management or medicine. We propose a method based on Evidence Centered Design to plan the monitoring of the learner for diagnostic purposes to the teacher and the learner. Actions in case studies are very close to business actions and resort to specific rules. We have chosen to represent them using Petri nets. To bring semantics to the Petri net analysis, we have added a domain and game action ontology. The ontology provides a significant complementarity to Petri net that has a purely procedural dimension. We have combined Petri nets and ontologies to produce performance indicators for this particular category of serious games. The study of errors led us to propose a particular taxonomy for serious games based on the work done in the field of security

Darkness, rebellion and youth seem to converge in the same stream. The purpose of this thesis is not only to recall that Goth subculture is still fashionable but also to discuss on the dark culture transmedia and transculturalism in four different medias. Divided in four chapters, this study analyses the importance of the first « modern » vampire, Bram Stoker's Dracula's in the coming-up of the vampire outcast in Anne Rice's Vampire Lestat and Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls. The second chapter focuses on the creature in Tim Burton's movie Edward Scissorhands which presents an original conception while dealing with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at the same time. The third chapter analyses American McGee's personal vision of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland in the video games American McGee's Alice and Alice Madness Returns. The last chapter explores Yuki Kaori's Cain Goth manga series

Full textThis study seeks to go beyond the standardized video games aesthetics by adding new depiction techniques for real-time digital imagery. Photorealistic rendering is often limited in control and flexibility for an artist who searches beyond fidelity to real. Achieving credibility and immersion will then often require stylization for the view to be more convincing and aesthetic. Expressive rendering goes further by taking care of the artist's personal vision, while being based on some real life attributes and phenomena, altering them at the same time. We will show that photorealism and expressive rendering join and complete each other under numerous aspects. Three themes related to photorealism will be presented, then some personal original techniques will be introduced. The theme of depth of field will lead us to consider the shape of the virtual camera's lens through the Hexagonal Summed Area Table algorithm. We will then look at material, light and especially ambient and specular reflections and the importance of parallax correction with regards to them. Our third theme will be the rendering of fluid motion and the advection of textures according to the flow for easy and efficient detail addition. These three subjects will then be integrated into expressive rendering and used as expression tools for the artist, through the creation of a dream effect, of screen-space rendered fluids, and of hatched material shading. Finally, we will show our creations specifically dedicated to expressive rendering and stroke stylization

Full textThis research explores exhibitions of video games featured in museums, in which commercial gaming products can be found. The study focuses on the changes of signification and uses that affect videogames during their shift from family living room to exhibition spaces, and investigates the professional spaces where the exhibition is designed. It relies on a field work during one of these exhibitions,completed by a study of public policy and the uses of video games in French museums. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach to explore the social, symbolic and material aspects of the object. This research is rooted in Cultural Studies and the study of the cultural aspects of social change. It also evokes various domains such as Communication, Sociology and Gender Studies. This research explores the articulation between three moments constructing video game as a museum object. First, the recognition of video game as a cultural good by public policies. Second, the design of a video game exhibition in a science center, that implies the modification of video games to create interactive exhibits. Third, the exhibition visited by people and the significance they grasp. Far from being isolated, these three moments are parts of a context where these different practices enrich one another

Full textThis thesis frames players' activities in the gaming industry as labor. Based on various qualitative date (field studies, observation, case studies, video analysis, sectoral data), the thesis proposes that firms profitability in the gaming industry is based on the constitution and exploitation of a specific form of intangible capital coined as communitarian capital. The shift from a product to a service industry is described, putting the relationship between the firm and its users and between users themselves at the forefront of firms profit. The concept of community is heavily discussed. Using a framework based on the digital labor theory as well as economics of conventions, the hypothesis of players' labor is formulated. Because players' interactions is so crucial to understanding contemporary business models in the gaming industry, the thesis integrates theses interactions as part of the value production process. The devices used by firms to extract value from players are thoroughly investigated during a long-term field study in a leading french firm of the sector. The thesis concludes by analyzing the case of the Twitch platform, on which some players professionaze and gain revenues by constituting and managing their own communities. The communitarian capital framework this thesis proposes can be applied beyond the case of the gaming industry, and aims at understanding mutations linked to the digital economy, both concerning labor and capital

Full textThe aim of this work is the study of the constructed and represented spaces of video games. By testing the hypothesis of a form of “language” of level design, we shed light on the structural aspect of video game space, identifiable from one game to another within a “shared grammar”, but also its communicative value, as an instance of mediation between the game and the player. From a precise and detailed analysis of the way space is constructed and evolves in the series The Legend of Zelda (1986-2017), we formalize, classify and prioritize the different structures that make the repertoire of video game spatiality; then we highlight the mediation strategies implemented by games to facilitate the decoding of navigational information. We end up painting a diachronic portrait of the way this language is transformed, in particular concerning the question of navigation control, by mobilizing the notion-tool of “critical path” and its implications in a formal and communicative history of video games

Full textLiving exceptional moments, experiencing thrills, well-being, blooming, are often part of our dreams or aspirations. We choose various ways to get there like games. Whether the player is looking for originality, challenges, discovery, a story, or other goals, emotional states are the purpose of his quest. He remains until the game gives him pleasure, sensations. How bring them there? We are developing a new human environment interaction that takes into account and adapts to emotions. We address video or pervasive games or other applications. Through this goal, players should not be bothered by interfaces, or biosensors invasivness. This work raises two questions:- Can we discover emotional states based on physiological measurements from contact biosensors?- If so, can these sensors be replaced by remote, non-invasive devices and produce the same results?The models we have developed propose solutions based on unsupervised machine learning methods. We also present remote measurements technics and explain our future works in a new field we call affectics
