  • First Online:
Fusion of Smart, Multimedia and Computer Gaming Technologies

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 84))

Abstract

The chapter summarizes the contents of this book highlighting recent advances in smart systems, multimedia, and serious gaming technologies through a fusion of these approaches. Such fusion is a nascent area that potentially can hybridize the features and advantages of the relevant areas, and, as a result, provide users with advanced and enhanced functionality and features, which currently does not exist.
