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 conept 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 XR immersive technologies (including virtual reality, eye-tracking technology) as part of the experience.
We are part of the IMPACT Research Cluster at the University of Calgary.
