Research

Coming from a background in Cognitive Science, I have a strong interest in Human-Computer Interaction. In my research, I explore the concepts of Usability and Entertainment. My main focus is on methods and methodologies for usability evaluation of entertainment focused interactivity.

My thesis is focused on design and evaluation of Pervasive games; games that integrate the physical and virtual worlds, that can be played anytime, anywhere and draws on social interaction between players in the game play.

I'm currently a member of the Entertainment Services research group and the Cross Media Interaction Design research group (CMID) here at the Department of Informatics.
