Abstract

Using the Unity3d game engine, a Serious Game has been developed to explore different flooding scenarios under climate change in the town of Torbay in Devon, United Kingdom, and discover the resulting consequences on different critical infrastructures, aiming at enhancing their resilience. The system also sports a rather unique 3D navigable information board comprised of a virtual table populated with documents and interactive post-it notes introducing a compelling narrative.

Keyphrases: critical infrastructures, flood visualization, serious game
