Contextualization
• Depicting an event
• Emercency situations
• 3 weak stages amoung 5
Depicting an event… What do
you do?
5
First witness
Emergency situations

Emergency situations
• Who ever witnessed an accident?
• Who can pretend to be a health professional?
• Who considered having reacted “well”?
• Do you know the “3 main stages” that first witness should do?
This serious game can provide answers

3 weak stages among 5
1.
Scene
understanding
& securing 2.
Basic first aid
5.
Hospital emergency 4.
Advanced first aid + transport
to hospital 3.
Emergency call
The first witness => This SG

3 weak stages among 5
The first witness => This SG
First witnesses are almost never health professionals!
Death: 1 min => 20%
Most victims dies here

Expertise and application domains
• Application domain
• Consortium structure
• Involved actors
• One place, many aspects
Application domain
11
To show SG potential
Domain should…
Kindergarten!
… have people at risk
… be with professional without health expertise
… be open to serious games
… be willing to participate almost for free
Consortium structure

Game concept & development
• Budget constraints
• Serious game concepts
• App development
Budget constraint
16
Choice for - game design - game concept
Our group usual works - real-time hologram rendering - rehabilitation SG platform - museum art object rendering - spatial trips
Strong budget constrains - “very realistic” rendering - no 3D
- no graphics - no animation - no special effects … - only pictures !
Budget constraint
17
Quite a challenge here…
- game design - game concept
Serious game concept
18
About true stories… …and where your choices
involve consequences
…taking the form of picture stories…
Serious game concept

And so on for 400 pictures!
2 scenarios

Fingers stuck on a metallic door
Sudden infant death
Both scenarios involve potential death of a child
• 20 collected from experts
• 10 selected with emergency staff
• 5 designed as SG levels
• 2 implemented & tested

4 phases game
- Contextualization - Before the call
- Emergency call: official protocol quiz - Scoring result

App development
Scoring
- Among of time
- Positive & neg. actions - Emergency call
Feedbacks
- Advice on actions from the SG
- User comments
YES: Get the next emergency situation NO: Repeat the scenario

Enough point?

User tests
• Have we proved a real impact?
No, we’ve just shown a potential interest
• What have been observed?
People felt concerned and have “appreciated” the SG
• What can be concluded?
There is a strong need
This methodology have a potential

Perspectives
• Many other scenarios for kindergarten
• Many of then can be deployed up to high school
• Any situation can be scenarized
29
Take-home messages
• Anyone can be trained for…
…identifying & securing the scene
…practicing very basic first aid
…calling emergency
• Making a serious game with pictures…
…is obviously easy and cheap to develop
…seems to have a strong potential
• Looking for partners to transform this prototype into an App
