Computer Games Technology for Simulating Non-classical Physics

|... One of the primary affordances of digital game technologies is the ability to visualise and interact with different worlds; be they reflections of our real environment with familiar rules and behaviours; or scenarios from the imagination or other domains we cannot experience. ... with computers we can explore such worlds; which can help us to gain deeper understanding about the scientific theories that underpin modern technologies, or our extended understanding of the universe. This thesis examines and applies computer games technologies for portraying special relativistic worlds. In alignment with the serious games movement, these systems are designed and studied from the perspective of providing interesting play dynamics and fruitful learning experiences about relativity. The research presents techniques for creating immersive 3D relativisitic environments, and surveys the prior art in computer games that manipulate the rules of physics to produce unique gameplay experiences and worlds both familiar and new. The review identifies that while techniques for the visual representation of relativistic scenarios are well-known, dynamic effects - such as mass increase and time dilation, that could lead to equally interesting world dynamics and gameplay opportunities - have not been represented. ... The relativistic visualisation methods are extended with techniques to address current limitations. Concurrently, a prototype 'serious game' is developed which takes the dynamic relativistic effects as the basis for its gameplay, and represents learning content suitable for the Higher School Certificate (HSC) physics curriculum in Australian schools. .. In addition, implications for the design of game-based learning environments and models for the appropriation of such tools by teachers in classrooms are revealed.|--Abstract.
