Can Hypercasual VR Games (HVRGs) Improve Experience and Performance of Adult Learners? Exploring Progressive Versus Dynamic Difficulty
Game‐based learning (GBL) in a virtual reality (VR) environment provides individuals with access to high‐quality learning resources that may be expensive or unavailable in real‐world scenarios. For example, individuals can easily participate in target shooting through this medium, which was a popular sport during Colonial America. This article explores the potential of using GBL to enhance shooting skills through a hypercasual VR game (HVRG). The…
Exploring Game‐Based Inquiry Learning Application in a Maritime Science Museum
This article brings together the concepts of emerging technologies, game‐based learning (GBL), and inquiry learning to conduct a research study undertaken in a maritime science museum. Over the last decade, the potential benefits of emerging technologies have enabled game‐based inquiry activities in formal and informal pedagogical contexts. The use of ontologies has also grown significantly in representing learning content. In the science museum …
Learner emotions and performance in hypercasual VR games with adaptive AI difficulty
Hypercasual virtual reality games (HVRGs) are widely regarded as cost‐effective tools for rapid skill acquisition, yet the mechanisms that optimise their effectiveness and user acceptance remain insufficiently explored. This mixed‐methods empirical study investigates how playful emotions, characterised by engagement, enjoyment and anxiety, influence performance, measured through game scores, in HVRGs employing two distinct difficulty strategies: …
Evaluating the Kuznets curve relationship between economic growth and child labor in an emerging economy
Purpose This study aims to test the Kuznets curve between economic growth and child labor, along with the influence of exports, household size and rural population in the context of Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the research objective, this study applied the unit root test, bound co-integration test, and autoregressive distributive lags (ARDL) method for the period of 1972–2021. Findings The findings show an inverted U-shaped r…
Comprehending the influence of brain games mode over playfulness and playability metrics
Undertaking cognitively stimulating activities over the course of life, such as playing brain games (BGs), is only possible if they continuously deliver a playful as well as playable experience. The understanding of how these subcomponents of experience (i.e. playfulness and playability) get influenced in both modes (single vs. two-player) of BGs was previously fuzzy. The objective of the presented research was to gain more insight into the prece…
Behavioral profiling
An insight regarding few of the experiences during video games playing activity is still fuzzy. This paper presents an extensive empirical study that analyzes the experiences of 100 participants (i.e. 25 children, younger adults, older adults, and elders each) during brain games play. This concludes a number of significant correlations among the diverse kinds of players’ experiences (i.e. engagement, enjoyment, anxiety, usability, adaptability, a…

Effects of Human Activities on Evapotranspiration and Its Components in Arid Areas
With the increasing impact of human activities on the environment, evapotranspiration (ET) has changed in arid areas, which further affects the water resources availability in the region. Therefore, understanding the impact of human activities on ET and its components is helpful to the management of water resources in arid areas. This study verified the accuracy of Fisher's model (PT-JPL model) for ET estimation in southern Xinjiang, China by usi…

Mediating Role of Risk Perception Between Behavioral Biases and Investor's Investment Decisions
This study aims to examine the direct and indirect links between behavioral biases and investor's investment decisions via the mediating role of risk perception through structural equation modeling. The study is conducted among individual investors who are engaged in investment for several years in Pakistan Stock Exchange. Purposive sampling technique was used for data collection and the sample size was consisted of 450 questionnaires. The findin…
