From teaching engineering to writing a science fiction novel—An author’s experience

May 12, 2022 by Cátia Bandeiras

earth from space

After my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biomedical engineering and doctoral degree in bioengineering, and eight years as a researcher in the field, I had never bought a science fiction book. I mostly read biographies or novels in my spare time to take my mind off a bit of the technical work I normally do in my professional life. My fondness for science fiction was mostly … [Read more...] about From teaching engineering to writing a science fiction novel—An author’s experience

Pinball has its roots in tabletop games from the late 1800s and early 1900s, although the 1930s marked the true start of pinball as we know it today. Early pinball was an electromechanical game, with points tallied by hand or through the movements of gears. For a while, it looked pretty far from what one would expect based on present-day pinball machines, which are known for … [Read more...] about The Williams Advanced Pinball Programming Logic Executive Operating System

Narrative games through the ages

March 1, 2022 by Joy Stockwell Carpenter

once upon a time title

When did video games start having stories in them? Not “It was really hard, but I won” stories, but made-up stories that the game tells the player. That is, when did games start to use fictional narratives? For more about this article see link below.  https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9734283 … [Read more...] about Narrative games through the ages

Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development

Social robots hold great promise for assisting both older adults with dementia and those in good health. Yet, little is known about how people want to interact with these robots. This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We have broken these features down into principles of robot behavior, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, while also considering factors that affect a person’s likelihood to adopt such technology. Our findings offer a starting point for refining social robots and & developing features that truly resonate with users.
