Integrando multiagentes em ambientes 3D: um serious game para estimulação cognitiva

Abstract

Multi-agent systems are receiving increasing attention from researchers and developers of virtual games. The use of agents can control the performance of the user, adapting the interface and automatically changing the difficulty level of the task. This paper describes a strategy for integration of multi-agent systems and three-dimensional virtual environments and demonstrates the feasibility of this integration through the development of a game featuring the Serious game . This game aims to stimulate cognitive functions such as attention and memory and is designed for people with different neuropsychiatric disorders. The game construction was supported in a development process that consists of several stages: theoretical studies of the involved areas, the study of technologies that support this integration, requirements gathering with experts, implementation and evaluation specialists. The final product was evaluated by medical experts, who considered the results as positive.
