Solutions - Serious Games
Serious games are typically created with gaming or virtual world technology such as Blink 3D. Applications for serious games include training, health and safety, simulation, assessment, distance e-learning and business interactions.
Serious games can also include what are referred to as "cut scenes" in video format. These are scenes and interactions from recorded inside the game and are often used to show how something should be done or to set the story line.
Serious Games created with Blink 3D will run embedded in a Web page using the inDuality technology. inDuality is a plugin for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera and runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista. The plugin is automatically installed when anyone visits the Web page with your game embedded in it.
