Games for Health Initiative Launched
"Representatives from the Serious Games Initiative have launched a new discussion list named Games for Health. This is the first part of an effort to develop a specific community of researchers, healthcare professionals, game developers and educators to build a new generation of video games that can help improve public health."
Individuals and organizations interested in participating in the list are invited to sign up by visiting the following Web site:
http://listserver.dmill.com/lyris.pl?join=games-for-health
It's a pity that after I sign in the web site, it still need some time to approach. Until now I can not see there discussions. But it is really a potential area in the entertainment industrial. What if we can make people do body building or losing weight during games? There is a classic example, Dance dance revolution. This game was crazy hot when it first came out. And there come bunches of similar games after that. But the health effect is not obvious just by jumping =)
