A cyber-physical educational game of Petanca. Petan-Camins

This work-in progress (WIP) depicts the first edition of the educational game "Petan-Camins". This game is conceived as one of the many potential gap bridges between the physical and virtual realms among civil engineering students. Petan-Camins is based on the traditional Mediterranean game Petanca and players inherit identical rules. The difference between Petanca and Petan-Camins comes after the game. Once completed, a terrestrial laser scanner surveys the final scene of the physical game and generate a digital point cloud with the result. Then, players must use computational geometry tools for answering manifold geometrical questions. A physical-to-virtual journey of information is experienced by civil engineering students. The flow of information from the built-environment to building information models represents cornerstone knowledge for civil engineers in the verge of the digitization of the sector.
