Mobile Serious Game Using Augmented Reality for Supporting Children's Learning About Animals

Abstract

This article introduces a new Serious Game with Augmented Reality for children and handicapped people. A platform based on a zoo has been virtually created. With this application, the users can increase their knowledge about a specific topic, in this case, animals. We have designed several 3D elements according to the theme, including a main scene that leads to the different scenes contained in the game. The user can interact with those elements and scenes through the mobile phone, thanks to the touch screen.
