HCI Games
The HCI Games Group conducts research in information and communication technologies, design, psychology, and human-computer interaction related to games and gamification. We are part of the Games Institute at the University of Waterloo. Our current research areas include:
Gamification: Involves the use of game design principles in systems that primarily support non-game tasks, with the goal of increasing fun, engagement and motivation.
Games user research: Developing new methods and tools for improving player testing and user research in games and entertainment systems.
Games for human health, wellbeing, and fitness: We have recently begun to focus on making sports, physiological exercise, health, and wellbeing applications more playful.
Interaction design for games: Finding novel sensors and interaction paradigms.
Affective gaming: Research using psychophysiological analysis and physiological sensors to track player sentiments.
Game Atmosphere: Effects of Audiovisual Thematic Cohesion on Player Experience and Psychophysiology
Above Water: An Educational Game for Anxiety
