Webinar Ethical Design for Wellbeing and Affective Health - ITI

En el marco del proyecto ARCADIA de ITI se trabaja en diseñar e implementar estrategias de gamificación y juegos serios en entornos terapéuticos basados en realidad extendida que permitan experiencias más inmersivas, realistas, atractivas y motivadoras. En este sentido, el uso del juego como herramienta terapéutica puede aportar numerosas ventajas en el ámbito de la salud mental. Sin embargo, para garantizar la efectividad e impacto positivo de este tipo de intervenciones tecnológicas, es necesario diseñar y desarrollar estas experiencias con un enfoque centrado en el usuario, y teniendo en cuenta el impacto personal y emocional que pueden llegar a tener.

Throwback to my first paper in my PhD program, which explored how people envisioned remote pointing using mobile devices and was presented at #MobileHCI a few years ago. Looking back, it's incredible to see how much I've grown as a researcher since then. It's been a challenging but rewarding journey, and I'm grateful to continue conducting research in the field of HCI.. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3098279.3098544

“Working 60–70 hours a week is normalized and expected; if you don’t do it then you’re not a good researcher,” wrote one participant in the free-text section of the survey. “I’ve seen this pressure destroy PhD students and ECR peers, who work themselves to the bone without any end in sight.”
