Software project management training through game like simulation and virtual reality

Abstract

Presently, we have observed that we are lacking with tools for teaching and assessing Software Project Management. We need to develop some tools to educate capacity of Software Project Management and to allow learners to check their skills and involve the required educational purpose in safe surroundings by using a gamification like methodology. In this paper, an Interactive Gaming System to enrich the fundamentals of Software Project Management using a gamut of techniques & technologies is designed with Gesture Recognition to increase player indulgence in the game. The proposed game also involves multiplayer participation for a common objective over TCP/IP or Internet resulting in increasing team effort. The proposed game is implemented in MATLAB.
