Abstract

Serious Games (SGs) are computer-based games designed for training, advertising, health fields and communications. In this paper, we propose a reference methodology for the design of SG that incorporates a participatory, flexible and user-centered approach, adaptable to users with non-standard cognitive abilities. iPlus allows the conception of educational SGs, here we illustrate the construction of a virtual reality SG for recreation therapy of people with mental illness.
