> Work description:
>
> Digital game development concerns the development of simulation,
> visualization and user experience environments with which users
> interact using a broad range of technologies, where experiences may
> be informed by principles of game, simulation and/or narrative
> design. The Game Systems and Interaction Research Laboratory (GSIL)
> at BTH conducts research in the area of digital game development
> according to two perspectives representing core values:
>
> * technology-driven innovation in game and interactive system
> concepts, interaction mechanics,, systems, supporting technologies,
> development processes and applications,
> * scientific and empirical studies of game and systems
> interaction in order to develop systematic and grounded
> understanding of the needs, affects and consequences of system use.
