Physiological Measures for Games and VR: Novel Tools and Approaches

Wednesday, August 9, 2023 11:00 am - 3:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

This hybrid panel covers the exploration of biometrics (or physiological measures) in game user research, driven by advancements in sensing technologies and the increased accessibility of signal processing tools. While the application of complex biometric modalities outside of controlled laboratory settings remains limited, analyzing player frustration, learning, and flow during playtesting sessions has become more common, providing valuable insights that complement other game user experience methodologies.

This panel brings the expertise of Drs. Mavridou and Muñoz working in the industry designing highly usable, scalable and impactful new hardware and interfaces for physiological sensing and intelligent adaptation.

This panel will be accompanied by a follow-up, in-person, hands-on workshop hosted at the Games Institute for researchers interested in this field. Separate registration required.
