Resumen:
The
aim of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the impact of the
application of serious games in geovisualization, due in particular
to the use of flight simulators and associated technologies. We
present the main elements and techniques developed for serious games
that have influenced geovisualization research, and also bring an
overview of some available frameworks for the implementation of
serious games. We illustrate the main concepts, the development of an
integrated system that combines flight simulator technologies with
satellite imagery, and other diverse geographical data sources in a
single geovisualization application.
The
chapter also presents a review of the high-end human-machine
interfaces designed for games and their current and possible uses as
geovisualization exploration tools. A discussion about the several
challenges is provided as well as the opportunities that arise
through the application of serious games in this area.
