Abstract:
"Humans possess additional senses that are almost completely neglected by digital games. These sense can all contribute to gameplay or storytelling, and a meaningful facsimile of these senses can be implemented in digital games without additional peripherals. Through the study of topics including synesthesia, conditioning, semiotics, inhuman senses, and sensory deprivation, a framework is constructed which can be uniformly applied to many digital games in order to enable sensory feedback from all eight senses. The design and production process of this framework is fully documented. The study concludes by presenting a playable proof of concept for the framework, showing that gameplay and storytelling experiences can be noticeably enhanced." --Abstract
