Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework for personalised crisis management training through the use of an applied game. The framework particularly focuses on ubiquitously assessing and manipulating player stress levels during training, and evaluating player performance by providing personalised feedback. To achieve these goals, the framework leverages techniques for multi-modal player modeling through physiological sensors, in-game events and self-report data. Specifically, the present paper (1) discusses design decisions for the personalised crisis management training framework, and (2) presents the game prototype with which user-studies will be performed. Presently, the game prototype is being developed in close collaboration with actual crisis management experts.
