Whats the Diffrence between Vision and Imagination?
Imagination is the Tool our heart uses to get what it wants. It does so by producing a vision that is motivation enaugh for you to act upon. Visions basically mobilizes your mind and body for action. Not only that, a vision allows you to act coherently and with focus and determination over long spans of time.
Vision and Imagination for our project:
The Vision for our Project is to show, how we can make gaming more ecological with simple steps that are possible for everyone.
The Imagination is, that we can play Video Games, without the thoughts, that we are constantly harming the environment because of the gaming.

Status:
Before the sports vacations we presented our project idea at the Zoom meeting. In the Zoom meeting were our class of BMVZ 22 and a school class from India. During the sports vacations Damian and I were busy elsewhere. We saw only at the end of the vacations that people were interested in our project. They wrote their mail and name in the mural. We plan to contact these people and tell them more about our project. We haven't arranged a meeting yet. We are still discussing how we want to do the experiment(s).
Interested participants from India:
Manas
E-Mail: manasjishith@gmail.com
Advaith
E-Mail: advaithnair28@gmail.com
Next Steps:
- Discuss whether collaboration is an option
(- if a collaboration is in question, establish contact)
- Final decision which games to take and how exactly we want to measure/do it
(- explain the further procedure to the collaboration partner)
- Write down and compare our results
- Summarize and document everything
- more to come...

Summary:
Our next step is to do an experiment with our computer during the holidays. We try to minimise our energy consumption with very low graphics settings and generally little power. We will track our consumption and compare it with our normal consumption at the end.
Step by step:
- Play video games with high graphics settings and the best settings
- Track our FPS, energy that we use etc.
- Write it down
- Play video games with low graphics settings and only with recommended settings
- Track our FPS, energy that we use etc.
- Write it down which Games we played, what we did exactly regarding the settings
- Write down if there are other ways as well to save energy
- Compare it with the other results
- Write down our comment if it works and what we can do better or different

Definition of vision and imagination:
Vision and imagination is very similar. Imagination arises through the heart. It is a kind of tool that it uses to get what it wants. It creates images in our mind of what the goal or desire could be. This is then the vision. The vision motivates us and motivates our mind and body to begin the work and move forward. Not only that, a vision allows you to act coherently and with focus and determination over long spans of time.
Vision and imagination for our project:
Vision: We want to show how you can make gaming more environmentally friendly with a few simple steps.
Imagination: Our imagination is that we can play as much as we want without having to have in mind how we harm our environment.

Me: What are the 10 most important terms about Green Gaming?
ChatGPT:
- Energy Efficiency
- Carbon Footprint
- Sustainable Energy Sources
- Renewable Energy
- Virtual Reality
- Cloud Computing
- e-Waste
- Resource Management
- Green Computing
- Life Cycle Assessment
Me: Why is Virtual reality an important term?
ChatGPT: Virtual reality is important in the context of green gaming because it offers an alternative to traditional gaming methods that can be less environmentally friendly. VR eliminates the need for physical hardware and enables players to access games and experiences through a headset, reducing energy consumption and e-waste. Additionally, VR technology has the potential to reduce travel and transportation emissions associated with in-person events and gaming conventions.
I asked ChatGPT for the top ten terms on how we can make gaming more ecological and this was his/her answer:
- Energy consumption: The amount of energy used by a device or system.
- Digital games: Games that are stored and played electronically, rather than on physical media such as CDs or cartridges.
- Recycling: The process of converting waste materials into new products to prevent waste and conserve resources.
- E-waste: Electronic waste, or waste generated by electronic devices such as computers, gaming consoles, and smartphones.
- Green manufacturing: A manufacturing process that minimizes environmental impact and is sustainable over time.
- Power-saving modes: Settings or modes on devices that reduce their energy consumption when not in use.
- Energy-efficient devices: Devices designed to use less energy to perform the same tasks as traditional devices.
- Sustainability: The ability to maintain a certain level of ecological and environmental balance over time.
- Eco-friendly game developers: Game developers who focus on environmental sustainability in their manufacturing and development processes.
- E-waste recycling events: Community events that collect electronic waste for proper recycling and disposal.
