Webinar: What the GRUX? The Unique World of Games Research
We are wired to play games. Between building pantheons and pastures, people throughout history have built games to connect and compete with each other. Today, billions of people across the globe play video games.
The next edition of Leaders in UX will feature our very own Laura Donohue who will explore the nuances of games user research.
Measuring the user experience for video games is a whole different ball game compared to everyday apps and products. Unlike traditional usability, where we aim to eliminate friction, games thrive on just the right amount of challenge to keep players engaged. Think of video games as interactive movies where you control the protagonist; a multi-sensory form of entertainment that affects players both physically and emotionally
Join in this enlightening talk where we’ll explore the world of Games Research and User Experience. Discover why it’s vital in today’s gaming landscape and explore the various methodologies used in this exciting field.
