Applied Games

How might we design and use games to support health, learning, work, and conduct scientific research? 


Project areas include:

  • Games for therapy and diagnosis, particularly in mental health

  • Analysis of game behaviours for research into human psychology

  • Games for understanding the impact of behaviours on the environment
