Concept Overview (Concept Paper)

       Coming up with a research topic especially in multimedia has become more challenging nowadays. Topics should be able to be as innovative as possible, purpose driven & at the same time relevant to the community . But with opportunities in fields like mobile application development, game programming, video processing & computer aided design student researchers like the researchers are driven to come up and conceptualize research topics that would surely benefit society or a certain social community at least. With this in mind the researchers came up with concepts wherein the proponents can enhance, innovate and engage the concepts in a real world settings and preferences with a  purpose of entertaining and providing users interactive learning experience  . The researchers came up with the idea of adapting one of many traditional Filipino street games such as Patintero, Luksong Tinik, Shatong, Tumbang Preso and the like into a computer game application. With this traditional Filipino games would gain necessary attention to the mass (or on a certain target audience to say the least), be an enjoyable learning medium and would be able to prove to be an effective gaming platform . And also since a wide variety of computer games has become mainstream on the youth, the researchers are also coming up with a concept that would incorporate gaming experience to education and that is through an interactive movie game. An interactive movie game is a game which takes place on a storyline and is patterned into movie scenes wherein users may decide on the outcome of the scenes , the decisions of the character/s and also its courses of action. The said movie game would take place on a storyline that would be fit for a game & at the same time would be instrumental in relaying educational concepts to the users. The researchers are also currently seeking out research opportunities for mobile applications that would cater the standards of the research guidelines provided unto the researchers.With this to consider the researchers are planning to implement the aforementioned concepts in either Flash based inteface using Actionscript in mobile using Android and in a 3D platform by the help of Python in Blender 3D or in Unity 3D.  .
