What this lab stands for
The Game Lab studies how people interact with games, from video games to board games. Ten players at once, with data on behaviour, facial expression, eye movements and body signals.
When do people enjoy a game, and when do they learn something from it? This lab finds out with data. Ten powerful gaming PCs let players play alone, in teams or against each other. Biofeedback sensors, webcams and eye tracking record what happens.
Researchers use this for intelligent game characters, difficulty that adapts to the player and game worlds generated while you play. Applications range from esports and teamwork to rehabilitation, crisis training and professional education.
