Had the pleasure of visiting IT University Copenhagen and meet Mike, Rune and @elisamekler. I presented my research in modeling interactive experiences with "Aiming, Pointing, Steering" which won the best paper award at the CHI PLAY conference last year. The paper presents basic interaction patterns that games are built of, more info here:

Thanks Elisa and Mike for the arrangements!

⚡ To design games effectively, we need tools and terminology to analyze them. ⚡

My latest game research, "Aiming, Pointing, Steering", won the best paper award 🏆 at the CHI PLAY conference this year. I am incredibly thankful! It revisits the basic interaction patterns that games are built of. If game design interests you, watch my animated presentation on the website!
