Att mäta spelarnas erfarenhet av spel och real-time simulationer (Swedish)

Abstract [en]

This talk introduces play experience measurement methods developed in the EU-funded FUGA project. It has a special focus on using these methods for serious games and real-time simulation projects, since the measurement of fun is especially important for engaging learning environments. We conclude with biofeedback methods and how this natural interface can provide new possibilities for game design.
