Abstract
Agriculture has a strong impact in the environment; it has played key role in the development of food security and food safety. In this paper, we are proposing a 3D multilingual Internet game, developed by using the on-line virtual world platform, that lets the player experience the potential effects of agriculture in the environment. The main idea is to foster awareness of agriculture's environmental issues, by not only making the player learn the impact of fertilizers and deforestation that affect the sources of water and weather, respectively, but also enhance the importance of food quality. To make players care for these issues, the game creates a direct impact by using the happiness of people that is represent by the villagers. To reduce the language barrier when sharing knowledge across the countries is needed, the game also supports multi-language to make it more understandable to the player. This paper describes details of the game design, the system architecture and the experiment. The experiment conducted with the game showed promising results. Copyright © 2010 ACM.
