This program will cover the definitions and forms of extended reality applications and serious games which can provide rehabiliation, education and training rather than only entertainment, followed by a complete assessment of their impact on digital globalization using examples from creative industries, game companies, and case studies. Extended reality, which encompasses augmented, virtual, and mixed reality, and serious games are widely used in a range of industries, and provide several opportunities and advancements. Opportunities, limitations, and future directions for exploiting extended reality applications will be examined, as well as proposed solutions to the highlighted limitations.Elif Surer earned B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in computer engineering from Boğaziçi University in Turkey in 2005 and 2007, respectively, and a Ph.D. in bioengineering from the University of Bologna in 2011.
