While Playing Game, Learning Biology of Blood

How to make a student interested in learning about the immune system in human blood? Video games are the answer.

May 2008 FAS issued a game 'Immune Attack'. Interactive this three-dimensional game designed by immunologist (immune expert), teachers and scientists learning. Game teaches students how the immune system works.

That was going to do by The Federation of American Scientists. As we quoted from ABCNews, FAS deeply enthusiastic use of games in helping the school.

Henry Kelly, president of FAS, said the game has a very big role in learning because it can make the learning process fun. "You can reach people who think they hate a lesson. Soon dissolved in this game, you'll forget that actually hate science," said Kelly.

In the game, players move nanobot in the flow of the body to look for immune cells that are not functioning. FAS says players can learn about the immune system and the knowledge about it should be applied in order to ascend to a higher level.

Meanwhile, the brains PlayStation 3 Help Finding Petroleum.

Computer giant IBM and the international oil company Repsol YPF turned on the Playstation 3 game console processor. No kidding, the processor will be used for oil exploration in the depths of the earth.

They use three-dimensional imaging technologies to track the depth map possible oil. A ship transmits sound to the earth and the reflected sound as the data representation used by a computer.

New oil fields is continue to be sought along with soaring prices and high demand. Oil companies are competing to seek his fortune in the area is difficult, from Brazil to West Africa.

"The technique is attractive as a race fierce looking oil fields. Use of computers in the oil industry will jump dramatically in the next few years," said Tom Mc Clure which handles IBM oil field.

With the help of named PowerXCell 8i processor chips, the computing process can run faster. The chip is a true power device for the Playstation 3, but the speed in processing the detailed 3-D images have been used in various fields.

Repsol company apparently wants to be the first to use video game technology. That's why they took IBM seeking proper technique utilizing video game chip to find new oil fields. Similarly, as quoted us from the Statesman.
