< Back UK Games Expo Birmingham With its focus (almost entirely) on board games, the UK Games Expo wasn't exactly an obvious choice for running an iGGi stand. But due to the fact that a considerable proportion of iGGi PG Researchers has involvement with tabletop games through their research in some form or other, the suggestion had been made for a few years now, and finally, iGGi decided to test the waters. As an added encouragement, Tabletop R&D - an SME that sprung off from our very own Game AI Group at QMUL - had offered to share a stand space with us. We (i.e., the 8 iGGis who attended) were positively surprised on more than one level, namely by the size of the expo (4 large, hangar-like exhibition halls) the welcoming and friendly vibes from the community (and the fact that it felt like a community gathering rather than a trade fair) the quality of conversations we had at the stand, which also made our presence feel relevant the new connections we forged just the charm of the whole thing We're definitely all rooting for coming back next year!

< Back Mark the Date! iGGi Con 2024 - 11+12 Sep The iGGi Conference is the annual showcase of our 60+ PhD Researchers, allowing a birds-eye view into their work, and a chance to bring academic research, innovation and the games industry together. Following the success of the conferences in 2022 and 2023, the iGGi Con 2024 will take place at the University of York. More information to follow in a few months. Previous 20 Oct 2023 Next

iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you.

< Back Nirit Binyamini Ben-Meir wins Best Paper Award at DIS25 Nirit Binyamini Ben Meir 's paper “Domestic Cultures of Plant Care: A Moss Terrarium Probe”, was awarded Best Paper at the ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference (DIS) 2025 . The work was lauded particularly for its originality, methodological rigour and its potential impact on the field of interactive systems. Here is the paper abstract: Houseplants are increasingly being used as part of interactive systems that aim to foster pro-environmental concern and awareness of more-than-human life. Yet such interventions rely on conflicting and untested assumptions about how people relate to houseplants. We therefore studied domestic plant care in 11 purposefully sampled households, applying a sensor-equipped moss terrarium as a living ‘thing ethnography’ probe, supplemented with semi-structured interviews. We find that social and intergenerational cultures of plant care inform people's individual concern and accountability through constituents and mechanisms like gift-giving, signaling, knowledge transfer, or joint practical care. We identify five domestic cultures of plant care in our sample, each of which frames plants differently and leads to different practical approaches to plant care. We propose design considerations that emphasise enculturation and shared care over individual behaviour change and reframe houseplants from decorative objects into living household members. You can access the full paper here . DIS25 took place 05-09 July in Madeira (Portugal). Nirit described the conference experience as very valuable, and enjoyed receiving some very useful feedback about her talk from the audience, making new connections as well as exploring its setting at Madeira Islands.
