The EU-funded PlayMancer project is using existing 3D video gaming engines to develop innovative ways of interaction between the player and the game world. The project is focusing on supporting the development ‘universally accessible games’ so that players of all abilities can use the games, especially for physical rehabilitation.

The project is aiming to shorten the game production chain and make it more cost effective based on generative modelling, and thus reduce the cost of offering a full-fledged pre-designed gaming world.

The project is developing a series games modules in two application domains: physical rehabilitation, and therapeutic support and lifestyle management programs for behavioural and addictive disorders.
