Historians meet the gamers in the new initiative by the University of Texas. The university is on a mission to record the world history in the virtual world, which has existed only in the MMO games till now. The project involves interviewing developers, concept art etc but the problem lies in the malleable nature of the games. Video games are interactive and open to change, and history is something that you cannot change, and hence Professor Megan Winglet feels interactivity of the game is a daunting task. Just like the generals study great battle to hone their skills, this game aims to provide a repository that may help future game creators to improve their own games. Sounds interesting, we must say.
