Transcribe →Cognitive effects of video games with Allie Schwab
Aug 31, 202100:25:11Tap to summarizeAllie describes her episode:For my individual podcast, I plan on exploring both the positive and the negative cognitive effects that video games have on our mental health. I will be focusing on research studying the negative effects of video games on emotions, self-esteem, academic and social performance while also focusing on the positive effects such as improved reaction time, spatial memory, and attentional capacity. Most research focuses on adolescents and how video games affect their growth, emotional growth, and behavior, but I will also try to find longer-term effects studied from adolescents into adulthood to see if these positive or negative effects are long-lasting.
Transcribe →Video Games within the fitness and health industry with Bonner Kirkland
Aug 24, 202100:27:28Tap to summarizeBonner describes her episode:For my individual podcast, I’m going to be discussing the role of video games within the fitness and health industry. I am not a big gamer--largely because I have always associated video games with being sedentary and physically inactive. So, in order to debunk this broad assumption I have always had about the gaming industry, I wanted to research how video games and the technology used in popular games can be used to promote health and fitness. I plan on discussing games and technological innovations such as the Peloton bikes, Wii Fit, Just Dance and Pokemon Go and interviewing people who use these games to stay active.

Aug 17, 202100:23:00Tap to summarizeJack describes his episode:For my individual topic I want to do an examination of virtual and augmented reality gaming. I was thinking about structuring it into three sections, the first being a little overview of VR and AR along with how the technology has progressed since its first use in gaming in the early 1990s. Then for the second section I’ll examine the current state of VR gaming and technology and its hardware/software limitations. In this I’ll talk about the features and differences between the leaders of modern VR gaming, such as the Oculus rift, sony's playstation vr or HTC’s vive. Lastly, for the third section I’ll talk about the potential direction and applications VR gaming could have in the future and some potential technological advances that could increase VR’s popularity such as an affordable haptic bodysuit.
