Serious Games for Enhancing Law Enforcement Agencies

Part of the book series: Security Informatics and Law Enforcement ((SILE))

Abstract

AUGGMED is a multiplayer serious game training platform created through a collaboration of 14 organisations and agencies distributed throughout Europe representing industry, academia, first responders and the public sector. Designed for law enforcement agencies and first responders, AUGGMED provides a multimodal training facility which enables trainees to connect remotely and train simultaneously in a single virtual environment. AUGGMED thus addresses the challenges of multi-agency training using a virtual-reality-based serious game environment. This chapter outlines the project as well as the development of the AUGGMED platform as a case study of a highly successful serious game development project based on tight end user integration and collaboration.
