Several previous projects have
involved development of serious
games to address different aspects of
improvement of basic, personal and
work-sustainability skills of people at
risk of social exclusion, including those
with disabilities.
The games developed are often
transferable to ViPi with the addition
of new content, and minor accessibility
tweaks.
