Скачать или смотреть Stinger: An Asymmetric Multiplayer Serious Game for Dengue Awareness | SNPD Summer IV Conference

Join us for the presentation of "Stinger," an innovative 3D asymmetric multiplayer serious game designed to combat dengue fever by raising awareness and promoting preventive behaviors in rural Bangladesh. This video is a recording of our presentation at the SNPD Summer IV Conference.

In this session, we delve into:

The global challenge of dengue and the critical gap between awareness and action.

How "Stinger" tackles this problem through culturally relevant and engaging gameplay.

The unique asymmetric roles: cooperative Villagers working to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds (stagnant water) and the challenging Mosquito antagonist seeking to infect them.

Key features and mechanics that foster immersive and interactive learning, using in-game tools that reflect real-world prevention methods.

The cutting-edge technology behind "Stinger," including its development in Unreal Engine 5, MetaHuman characters, and advanced rendering with Nanite and Lumen.

The overwhelmingly positive results from our user evaluation, highlighting the game's high scores for engagement, educational value, and overall experience.

Our exciting future work includes plans for AI-driven adaptive difficulty, behavioral analytics, and a post-game AI chatbot to reinforce real-world habits.

"Stinger" demonstrates the powerful potential of serious games as scalable and effective public health interventions, proving that entertainment and pedagogy can be combined to bridge the awareness-action gap in disease prevention.
