The video game, animation, physical simulation and virtual reality industry market has been experiencing strong growth in recent years. If the digital animation sector is revolutionizing the world of leisure (billing 222, 000 million dollars in 2013 (Procomer, 2014) and with an expected annual growth of 7%), the rest of the sectors are not far behind. Thus, the forecast for the video game market expects a growth of 9. 6% in 2015 compared to current figures, going from 83, 600 million dollars in 2014 to 107, 000 million dollars in 2017 (Global Games Market Report by Newzoo, 2015). In Spain, the turnover of video game companies is expected to grow at a rate of 24% per year in the next three years, reaching 723 million euros in 2017 (Libro Blanco DEV, 2014), doubling employment in the sector to 5, 200 jobs. Meanwhile, the impending revolution in virtual and augmented reality forecasts that the combined sector will increase to 150, 000 million dollars by the year 2020 (Digi-Capital).
In this sense, the creation of new products that connect both science, animation, simulation, gaming and visualization using new paradigms and innovative methodologies is something increasingly required by more companies. The companies in the sector in Spain, stimulated by this continuous progress, are becoming larger and more numerous, which is why there is a strong demand for qualified engineers trained in these areas. The entertainment industry is exerting increasing pressure for scientific research and development to create hardware and software that create more realistic and immersive environments.
