  2. 1. Pervasive GameFlow : Identifying and Exploring the Mechanisms of Player Enjoyment in Pervasive Games

    Author : Kalle Jegers; Mikael Wiberg; Charlotte Wiberg; Victor Kaptelinin; Staffan Björk; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pervasive games; Playability; Flow; GameFlow; Informatics; Informatik; människa-datorinteraktion; människa-datorinteraktion;

    Abstract : Pervasive games are computer games that build, to various extents, on social interaction as a driving force in the game play, on integration between physical and virtual worlds and on constant access to constantly ongoing games from virtually every existing context (anytime, anywhere gaming). This new genre of computer games presents many challenges for both researchers and industry; one of the most important is how to understand enjoyable player experiences in this new kind of computer gaming.

  5. 3. On the control of virtual violins : Physical modelling and control of bowed string instruments

    Author : Matthias Demoucron; Anders Askenfelt; Rene Causse; Benoit Fabre; Marcelo Wanderley; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bowed string; physical modelling; sound synthesis; performance control; violin playing; Corde frottée; modélisation physique; synthèse sonore; contrôle gestuel; violon; Struken sträng; fysikalisk modellering; ljudsyntes; musikutförande; violinspel; Other physics; Övrig fysik; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Abstract :   This thesis treats the control of sound synthesis of bowed string instruments based on physical modelling. The work followed two approaches: (a) a systematic exploration of the influence of control parameters (bow force, bow velocity, and bow-bridge distance) on the output of a physical model of the violin, and (b) measurements and analyses of the bowing parameters in real violin playing in order to model and parameterize basic classes of bowing patterns for synthesis control.
