Applied Games and Engaging Technologies Group

Description

The Applied Games and Engaging Technologies Group applies the tools and techniques of Games and Emerging Technologies to engage users with serious contexts from supporting health and wellbeing and addressing humanitarian challenges, to raising awareness of contemporary social issues and training people in applied contexts.

The group's vision is to establish a holistic interdisciplinary approach to joining up design intent with user experience evaluation, applying appropriate tools and techniques from across the group's areas of specialism.

The group's objectives are to innovate and integrate approaches in Applied Games, Music Psychology and User Psychology to better understand games user experience and inform best practice in design, development, evaluation and research; create and apply New Models of game design practice for behaviour change that better integrate design teams and researchers to create games that can support meaningful and lasting change; design and develop new methods for capturing key user characteristics to enable designers to better understand their audience; and design adaptive and dynamic game sound and music systems focusing on enhancement of the user experience.
