Player Research

How might we use and combine diverse methods to understand how people experience games, interact with and through them, and are affected by them? 


Project areas include:

  • Understanding and measuring player experience and motivation

  • Using tools from neuroscience and psychology to understand emotion in game players

  • Obtaining game player feedback without breaking immersion
