Pilot Application 1: Gaming
Online, multi-player interactive games currently allow only two types of games: fast action games with a few players (perhaps a maximum of 64) such as first person shooters (FPS), or slower adventure games with several thousand players such as massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs). The purpose of the Darkworks application called Hunter is to prove that the edutain@grid system can help a developer to easily create successful online games while reducing costs that could be higher than expected when it comes to online features. The Edutain@grid project can provide developers with tools to help them focus on what is interesting for them : graphics and gameplay. The gaming pilot application is based on an existing fast action game developed by project partner Darkworks.
Pilot Application 2: E-learning
Existing e-learning applications are typically constrained by a limited bandwidth server environment. This has implications for levels of student interactivity and media richness. This is particularly constraining in e-learning for crisis management, where high levels of communication and interaction are required. edutain@grid aims to enable development of multi-student e-learning applications with high levels of interaction, allowing students to take on crisis management roles in a more realistic manner. The e-learning application will be based on training applications developed by project partner BMT Cordah, in the field of maritime Search and Rescue.
