We are the Serious Games Research Group at the University of Calgary, Canada, led by Dr. Richard Zhao.
We are interested in serious games: games and gaming-related technologies for the purpose of training, learning, and education.
We develop artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (search and machine learning) to enable adaptive and personalized experiences, and for automated content generation.
The concept of a “game” extends beyond entertainment, as modern game engines (such as Unreal and Unity) are widely used for media production, simulations, and digital twins. We integrate immersive technologies (extended reality, virtual reality, eye-tracking technology) as part of the experience.
We are part of the IMPACT Research Cluster at the University of Calgary.
