Guanxi

Project Summary

Guanxi takes you on a venture through the exciting world of Chinese business. Learn about the culture, the language and the communication skills that you will need to succeed in the Far East.

Guanxi is the first in a range of “serious games” we are developing to overcome the challenges of learning foreign languages and new cultures. Computer games technology has enhanced phenomenally in recent years, blurring the line between reality and simulation. The use of intelligent games design and innovative technology allow us to take learning to the next level. Users are immersed within virtual environments where they can actively learn and practice their foreign language and cultural awareness skills.

Through the use of rich 3D graphics and animation we can accurately represent body language and gestures, allowing users to learn and practice this essential area of communication, something traditional methods for learning languages have lacked.

The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) allows users to practice conversation skills and building rapport with characters as they would in the real world. User can practice cultural etiquette and communication skills in a variety of different social situations.

We are currently extending our relationships with language and cultural experts and plan to release a version later this year.
