Critical Gaming: Interactive History and Virtual Heritage

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The inter-relationship between digital humanities and digital games is surprisingly seldom investigated. This book explains how games and virtual environments can be used in teaching and research to critique issues and topics in virtual heritage and interactive history. Individual chapters highlight the importance of visualisation, rituals, role-playing, alternatives to violent gameplay, interactive narrative, biofeedback and critical thinking.
