sociocultural analysis of the representation of gender, race, and identity in mobile games. It explores how mobile games construct social identities through character design, narrative framing, and player interaction. The research examines the ways in which game developers can either reinforce or challenge societal stereotypes and cultural norms, with a particular focus on gender dynamics in both player avatars and character roles. Drawing on critical theories of representation, postcolonial studies, and feminist media studies, the study explores the implications of these representations for player self-perception and broader societal trends related to gender equality and diversity.</p> <a href="https://blog-338881363655.mit-edu.top/post/9837620451" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/10.jpg" alt="Enhancing Social Interactions in AR Mobile Games Through Voice and Gesture Recognition" title="Enhancing Social Interactions in AR Mobile Games Through Voice and Gesture Recognition" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Kathleen Simmons</strong> <span>2025-02-05 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-338881363655.mit-edu.top/post/2867315409"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/13.jpg" alt="Deep Learning-Driven Procedural Terrain Generation for Mobile Games" title="Deep Learning-Driven Procedural Terrain Generation for Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-2867315409.mit-edu.top/post/2867315409/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-05</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-338881363655.mit-edu.top/post/2867315409">Deep Learning-Driven Procedural Terrain Generation for Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This study examines how engaging with mobile games affects attention span and cognitive control processes.
