A Important Health Warning: Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. © 2019 The Codemasters Software Company Limited (“Codemasters”).

All sources, references and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Aleksei Penzentcev Advisor: RNDr. Barbora Kozliková, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgement I would like to thank my supervisor RNDr. Barbora Kozliková, Ph.D. for the opportunity to participate in the project of Department of Computer Graphics and Design, for her consultation and comments during the work on the thesis. Also I would like to thank Mgr. Jiří Chmelík, Ph.D. for the technical support and leading the mother project for my thesis called Newron1 and to all people participated in this project for inspiring communication and contribution to it. 1 http://www.newron.cz iii Abstract This thesis describes a way of designing architecture for a serious game in Unity 3D environment and implementation of interaction with the game via Kinect device. The architecture is designed using event-based system which makes easier adding new components into the game including support of other devices. The thesis describes main approaches used for creation of such system. The mini-game “Tower of Hanoi” is implemented as an example of usage event-based system. iv Keywords Unity 3D, game architecture, events, C#, game, game engines, Kinect, Tower of Hanoi, gestures recognition, patterns, singleton, observer, SortedList. v Contents 1 Introduction .................................................................................................... 5 2 Overview ....................................................................................................... -

The Relations Between Perceived Parent, Coach, and Peer Created
THE RELATIONS BETWEEN PERCEIVED PARENT, COACH, AND PEER CREATED MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATES, GOAL ORIENTATIONS, AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS IN HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY ATHLETES Nicholas M. Beck Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Trent A. Petrie, Major Professor Scott Martin, Committee Member Edward Watkins, Committee Member Camilo Ruggero, Committee Member Vicki Campbell, Chair of the Department of Psychology Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Beck, Nicholas M. The Relations between Perceived Parent, Coach, and Peer Created Motivational Climates, Goal Orientations, and Mental Toughness in High School Varsity Athletes. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), August 2014, 91 pp., 3 tables, 2 figures, references, 130 titles. Determining the factors that contribute to mental toughness development in athletes has become a focus for researchers as coaches, athletes, and others extol its influence on performance success. In this study we examined a model of mental toughness development based on achievement goal theory, assessing the relations between motivational climates, goal orientations, and mental toughness. Five hundred ninety-nine varsity athletes, representing 13 different sports from six different high schools in a southwestern United States school district, participated in the study. Athletes completed self-report measures assessing parent, peer, and coach motivational climates, goal orientations, and their mental toughness. Initially, I examined the measurement model and found it fit the data well both in the exploratory (SRMR = .06; CFI = .94) and confirmatory (SRMR = .06; CFI = .95) samples. Second, the structural model was examined and found to fit the data well in both the exploratory (SRMR = .08; CFI = .93) and confirmatory samples (SRMR = .07, CFI = .95). -

There now exists a multitude of technology for training applications, we discuss a first step towards choices for training developers. Unfortunately, there is no structuring the space of technology platforms with respect standard set of criteria by which a given technology can be to training goals. The point of this work isn’t so much to evaluated. In this paper we report on initial steps taken espouse a leading brand as it is to clarify issues when towards the evaluation of technology with respect to considering a given piece of technology. Towards this end, training needs. We describe the training process, we report the results of an investigation into leveraging characterize the space of technology solutions, review a game technologies for training. We describe the training representative sample of platforms, and introduce process, outline ways of creating simulation behavior, evaluation criteria. characterize the space of technology solutions, review a representative sample of platforms, and introduce TABLE OF CONTENTS evaluation criteria. 1.
