Mass Affect is a multi-pedagogical serious game developed at the CRI - Interdisciplinary Research Centre (Paris, France). It is based on the control of the Center Of Mass of players, a physical concept which offers a real-time collaborative combination of movements.
The main pedagogical point is to organise the learning process around: corporal and oral language, action through physical activity, logical structuration of thinking and world exploration using gaming.
In a first case, psychomotor development might be enhanced. In the second one, mathematical analysis will be better understood by vectorial visualization of movement. In both cases, collaboration between players is the most important and original key to success - unlike in games based on competition.
