What:
Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller is researching the future of interactive technology that can support a life full of values and satisfaction. The Exertion Games Lab, based at RMIT, invents the future of gaming in order to understand how to design better interactive experiences, in particular games that require intense physical effort from players.
The research is particularly focused on the merging of “play” and the human “body”, drawing from research streams such as embodied interaction, interaction design, human-computer interaction and games research.
Floyd will tell us a bit more about Exertion Games and bring along some exertive games to try out.
We will also have space for more traditional (or otherwise) video games to be demo’d and displayed, so if you want to show off your latest creation please register here and we will be in touch. For serious. We will. Promise!
To help with logistics, there is a facebook event where you can let us know if we’re expecting you.
The week after, November 14-16 is GCAP, contact Giselle at igdamelbourne dot org if you want a 10% discount code on your ticket. This is the Melbourne games event of the year, and not to be missed!
