By Elias Kalapanidas, Hikari Wanatabe, Costas Davarakis, Hannes Kaufmann, Fernando Fernandez Aranda, Tony Lam, Todor Ganchev, and Dimitri Konstantas

Abstract

Serious games are about to enter the medical sector to give people with behavioural or addictive disorders the ability to use them as part of health promotion and disease prevention. The PlayMancer framework will support physical rehabilitations and psycho-education programs thru a modular multiplayer networked 3D game based on the Universally Accessible Games (UA games) guidelines.
