Drawing from disciplines to engage participants
Games aren’t just for play. At Khoury College of Computer Sciences, researchers explore how game design can spur advancements in diverse fields, from health to education. In conjunction with other areas of computer science—as well as outside programs like psychology or art and design—our researchers develop new interfaces, devices, and interaction models to study and engage participants in increasingly immersive gaming and narrative environments. Through an interdisciplinary approach, we uncover a deeper understanding of complex human behaviors that will help us better develop socially rich 3D environments and advance the frontiers of learning science, social science, and psychology research.
Areas of investigation
- Game evaluation
- Gameplay analytics and visualization
- New gaming interface design
- Player experience and modeling
- Computational algorithms for interactive narrative and building 3D characters
- Development of new methods to understand human behaviors
- Games for crowdsourcing, human computation, and citizen science
