Serious Games, simulators, and other advanced learning technologies are an extremely effective method of training and educating people of all ages.
Consider: kids learning about the effects of natural distasters; pilots training to fly state-of-the-art military aircraft; and doctors practicing new surgical techniques. All in an environment where missteps don’t have devastating consequences.
The potential of serious games is enormous. Companies and universities in North Carolina are leading the way in developing new applications to train the military, assess the proficiency of medical professionals, teach children math and science, and much more.
