    Desarrollo de un algoritmo de procesamiento de audio espacial para la generación de videojuegos en entorno Unity
    (2021) Montoya Restrepo, Daniel; Cardona Muriel, Elizabeth; Martínez Pino, Cristian; Murillo Gómez, Diego Mauricio
    The term 3D audio describes a system in which multiple sounds can be placed around a listener even above or below it. With the current development of videogames and the computational boom, the inclusion of spatial audio is already possible. 3D sound is the component that helps capture the player. The elaboration of videogames with spatial audio provides an improvement of the general experience of the player, increasing his attractiveness, bringing him closer to a realistic experience. The virtual simulations of enclosures to obtain the sound field based on geometric acoustics allow a real-time implementation. The auralizations provide interactivity in the rooms that favor the recreation and sounding of scenes in video games. Consequently, the development of an algorithm that processes audio in real time within the Unity video game engine is proposed, without the need to use external audio processing and development environments, allowing to recreate the sensation of spatiality of the enclosure in which the virtual scene. The algorithm consists in the processing of impulse responses in B-format that are convolved in real time with a monophonic signal corresponding to the source to be spatialized. Subsequently, the decoding of the B-format is performed and a convolution with HRTF is performed to obtain a binaural listening. This encourages its use in videogame design processes with 3D audio. The algorithm was developed in the Pure Data graphic programming language. The algorithm was integrated into the Unity video game engine using the Pure Data Embedded Audio Synthesis Library (LibPd). The result of the investigation corresponds to an implementation of the algorithm in a virtual scene, allowing the listening of the sound field in the enclosure

    Desarrollo de un prototipo de videojuego transmedia como herramienta de apoyo al aprendizaje de las leyes de Newton
    (2020) Echeverri Zea, Isabel; Ealo, Luis Carlos
    Educational videogames are a point of convergence of audiovisual arts. On one side educational videogames are created with the purpose of educating. Transmedia makes reference to a narrative technique that allows the user a deep and active immersion in the story. Gamification is a method of using gaming components to make daily tasks more palatable. The Newton laws are postulates that explain the interactions between forces and objects. It’s possible to find a multitude of authors that point to the benefits of implementing videogames as support tools in the classroom. Some of said authors also make some points about the best ways to design educational games. It’s not difficult to find authors who think that the educational system is not fit to the needs of the modern student either. Videogames can be used as a support tool in the classroom, not only to incentivize self-learning, but also as a way of adapting the act of learning to student’s necessities.

    Humanización de personajes no jugables usando herramientas de inteligencia artificial para análisis de personalidad de los usuarios
    (2016-07-12) Magaña Saa, Juan Felipe; Magaña Saa, Sergio Andres; Cano, Sandra Patricia
    This document shows the development of a web application that will have a 3D environment generated by the graphics engine Unity, which will communicate with a service of artificial intelligence provided by IBM Watson, via the web browser of a device to give certain personality characteristics to a virtual model or non-playable character (NPC) that will be part of a video game. This in order to achieve, through analysis of personality, the NPC in the videogames have some more human characteristics, abstracted from the users of the application, creating a more individual experience, giving new possibilities of interaction with NPCs and opening doors for future developments involving artificial intelligence services with video games and the user. Not going to delve into the psychological context of personality analysis or methods of abstraction of these data for later analysis. It will focus on the use of the services provided by IBM Watson, more specically Personality Insights, with which data user's personality necessary will be obtained for the union and interaction between artificial intelligence, Unity web application and the user so give appropriate personality traits to the NPC.

    Videojuego para la evaluación y rehabilitación cognitiva de las funciones ejecutivas en niños
    (Universidad de San Buenaventura, 2019) Ramírez Galíndez, Natalia; Zambrano Sánchez, Laura Isabel; Mejía Zuluaga, César Augusto
    The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of a video game as a tool for rehabilitation or cognitive stimulation. Currently there are some rehabilitation programs where commercial video games are used as tools to perform stimulation processes with very promising results in terms of improving skills such as working memory, attention and perception. Besides this, videogames can have an emotional and motivational component that does not possess rehabilitation or traditional cognitive training. Therefore, the research was carried out through the application of the VISOR video game designed in the Psychology Laboratory of the University of San Buenaventura Cali for the rehabilitation of the Executive Functions. The game was applied to a group of children between the ages of 7 and 11 who were enrolled in the third, fourth and fifth grades of primary school (experimental group). Additionally, the Children's Neuropsychological Evaluation battery was used to compare the results of the first group with those of the control group by means of a pre-test and post-test comparison and thus determine the viability of the tool used for the rehabilitation process
