Human-computer interaction and multimodal user interfaces have evolved dramatically over the last few years offering novel ways of interaction for serious games and virtual environments. Multimodal user interfaces have progressed both in terms of hardware (i.e. basic I/O controls) to sophisticated sensor devices (i.e. body tracking, physiological sensors, etc.) as well as in terms of software from simple graphical user interfaces to advanced user interfaces. This development of new multimodal interaction paradigms has augmented the way serious games and virtual environments are utilized, expanding rapidly the breadth of opportunities for training and simulation. As a result, the user-base has been significantly expanded, and making them accessible to a diverse audience.

用于严肃游戏和虚拟环境的高级多模式交互技术和用户界面

人机交互和多模式用户界面在过去几年中发生了巨大的变化，为严肃的游戏和虚拟环境提供了新颖的交互方式。多模式用户界面在硬件（即基本的 I/O 控制）到复杂的传感器设备（即身体跟踪、生理传感器等）以及在软件方面已经从简单的图形用户界面发展到高级用户界面。这种新的多模式交互范式的发展增强了严肃游戏和虚拟环境的使用方式，迅速扩大了培训和模拟机会的广度。结果，用户群得到了显着扩展，使不同的受众都可以访问它们。
