Description
The talk describes two computer games developed using the Unity 3D platform: "A Slower Speed of Light," designed to teach Special Relativity, and "Kirchhoff's Revenge," designed to teach circuit laws. The talk includes a short demo of both games, a discussion of the effort required to develop immersive game and learning environments, experiences and research results using these games in physics lessons at both college and high school level, as well as information informally gathered from "Let's Play" videos on YouTube.
