reviews the growing body of literature on the use of mobile games as interventions in mental health treatment, particularly focusing on anxiety, depression, and cognitive disorders. The study examines various approaches to game-based therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based games, assessing their effectiveness in improving emotional well-being and mental resilience. The paper proposes a conceptual framework that integrates psychological theories with game design principles to develop therapeutic mobile games. Furthermore, the study explores the ethical implications of using mobile games for mental health interventions, such as user privacy, data security, and informed consent.</p> <a href="https://blog-182605087698.mit-edu.top/post/2195837046" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/13.jpg" alt="Secure Multi-Party Computation in Mobile Games: Enabling Private Collaborative Play" title="Secure Multi-Party Computation in Mobile Games: Enabling Private Collaborative Play" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Kathleen Simmons</strong> <span>2025-02-04 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-182605087698.mit-edu.top/post/5218706493"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/4.jpg" alt="A Framework for Procedural Animation in Low-Resource Mobile Games" title="A Framework for Procedural Animation in Low-Resource Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-5218706493.mit-edu.top/post/5218706493/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-04</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-182605087698.mit-edu.top/post/5218706493">A Framework for Procedural Animation in Low-Resource Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This study explores the impact of augmented reality (AR) technology on player immersion and interaction in mobile games. The research examines how AR, which overlays digital content onto the physical environment, enhances gameplay by providing more interactive, immersive, and contextually rich experiences. Drawing on theories of presence, immersion, and user experience, the paper investigates how AR-based games like Pokémon GO and Ingress engage players in real-world exploration, socialization, and competition. The study also considers the challenges of implementing AR in mobile games, including hardware limitations, spatial awareness, and player safety, and provides recommendations for developers seeking to optimize AR experiences for mobile game audiences.</p> <a href="https://blog-182605087698.mit-edu.top/post/5218706493" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/1.jpg" alt="A Framework for Procedural Animation in Low-Resource Mobile Games" title="A Framework for Procedural Animation in Low-Resource Mobile Games" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Martha Perry</strong> <span>2025-02-04 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-182605087698.mit-edu.top/post/0836172954"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/14.jpg" alt="Reinforcement Learning with Sparse Rewards for Procedural Game Content Generation" title="Reinforcement Learning with Sparse Rewards for Procedural Game Content Generation" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-0836172954.mit-edu.top/post/0836172954/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-04</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-182605087698.mit-edu.top/post/0836172954">Reinforcement Learning with Sparse Rewards for Procedural Game Content Generation</a></h2> <p class="info">This study explores the role of player customization in mobile games, focusing on how avatar and character customization can influence player identity, self-expression, and engagement. The research examines how customizing characters, outfits, and other in-game features enables players to create personalized experiences that reflect their preferences and identities. Drawing on social identity theory and self-concept research, the paper investigates how customization fosters emotional attachment to the game, as well as its impact on player behavior, such as social interaction and competition.
