Abstract

Simulation based games attempt to replicate real life or fiction scenarios for the purposes of learning, training, investigating or predicting results. This paper presents a case study of a simulation based on terrestrial which are primarily used by Explosive Ordinance Disposal Units (E.O.D.) in the investigation and disposal of bomb threats in Nintendo Wii, to examine different methods and techniques of player immersion, adaptation and learning. The paper presents background research that has been conducted for the design and implementation of the E.O.D. simulator. The simulated environment demonstrates its usefulness over a number of real bomb scenarios where player has to actively inspect the environment to locate and dispose of any potential bomb threats in an efficient manner.
