Description

Deeper Problems, Deeper Gamification: Solving Hard Real-world Problems with Games [SGS Gamification]
SPEAKER/S: Seth Cooper (University of Washington) and Zoran Popović (University of Washington)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Tuesday 11:15-11:40 Room 308, South Hall
TRACK / FORMAT: Serious Games Summit / Lecture
DESCRIPTION: From the creators of the groundbreaking protein-folding game FOLDIT, this session focuses on the creative process behind three games being developed at the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington, covering the topics of biochemistry, early math education, and reconstructing the world in 3D. Each of these games has resulted in conference publications and even received a number of awards. The talk aggregates general principles compiled from the experiences of developing these games, to inspire and inform other designers who are interested in mapping real-world and scientific problems onto a game environment.
TAKEAWAY: Significant scientific and real-world problems can be solved by mapping the problems onto a game environment -- but it takes a lot more than points, levels and achievement badges to do it successfully. Attendees will understand the distinct challenges to designing such games, potential approaches to these challenges, and an emerging set of principles to guide this process for general problems.
