Smartphone games lack the hardware interface afforded by other gaming media like controllers for consoles, keyboard and mouse for PCs, joysticks and buttons on arcade cabinets, etc. As such, many popular games focus on puzzle mechanics using the touch screen interface, such as Angry Birds[1] or Cut the Rope[2]. We focused on skill-based, reactionary gameplay with an intuitive and unique control scheme in Herbert, where the player moves the character around the world by tilting the device and free oneself from traps by shaking the device. We did this in order to minimize on-screen GUI clutter found in other games such as OMG Pirates![3], Street Fighter IV[4] and Zombieville, USA[5] while retaining the challenge enjoyment, and intuitiveness of skill based gaming. The web version of the game can be played at: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~amd435/Herbert_Web.html

Using video games in rehabilitation has proven the potential to provide patients with fun and motivating exercise systems. The main question therefore is how to design body-based video games to improve a rehabilitation experience. This work-in-progress paper introduces TouchPoints, a full body exertion experience designed for stretching exercises in rehabilitation centers as part of a series of short-duration design studies. Our concept is to provide patients with a scenario where a stretching exercise routine could be accomplished in a playful and pleasant way. Lo-fi prototypes were used to demonstrate the game- play and gather valuable feedback from users' experience, which later informed the design of the TouchPoints. In addition, we propose further user-centric developments for TouchPoints involving both rehabilitation patients and therapists on how to increase patients' motivation. This paper is intended to read alongside the game demo video.

What new challenges does the combination of games and eye-tracking present? The EyePlay workshop brings together researchers and industry specialists from the fields of eye-tracking and games to address this question. Eye-tracking been investigated extensively in a variety of domains in human-computer Interaction, but little attention has been given to its application for gaming. As eye-tracking technology is now an affordable commodity, its appeal as a sensing technology for games is set to become the driving force for novel methods of player-computer interaction and games evaluation. This workshop presents a forum for eye-based gaming research, with a focus on identifying the opportunities that eye-tracking brings to games design and research, on plotting the landscape of the work in this area, and on formalising a research agenda for EyePlay as a field. Possible topics are, but not limited to, novel interaction techniques and game mechanics, usability and evaluation, accessibility, learning, and serious games contexts.

This design research explored ways to support emotional expression in interactive games played in a public, social setting. Affective gaming has incorporated emotional assessment to tailor feedback during gameplay, but as a result, distills complex emotional states into simple inputs. Our research focused not on measuring affect but on designing games to evoke emotional expression and sharing of personal experiences. This work centered on games in public spaces as a particularly rich area for exploration to influence other people. We present the design and initial play-testing results of four games that draw on a player's idiosyncratic experience and feelings as part of the game. These designs were based on internal paper prototyping sessions, naturalistic observation of the testing space and design and enactment sessions with researchers as participants and designers. Our design sessions indicate that image-based games are a rich element for these types of games, and the importance of ambiguity and disagreement amongst players to promote sharing of personal stories. Other design principles that emerged include affordances for short interactions, individual or multiple players, and forms of "cheating" as game play.

Traditional methods of teaching concepts relating to buoyancy (sinking and floating) to elementary students are often ineffective. With the development of new const-effective haptic controllers, we may be able to improve upon traditional teaching methods. Data was gathered during focus groups with both teachers and students to develop a list of misconceptions to target. In addition to targeting misconceptions, we use a Novint Falcon haptic force feedback controller to enable direct feeling of forces. To effectively merge the haptic controller into the system usability testing was performed. This paper presents the initial findings of our interactive playable simulation.

In this paper we describe the design, development and testing of two computer games using Sifteo Cubes that help children to train their visual perspective taking (VPT) skills, i.e. the ability to see the world from another person's perspective. The challenge was to design an enjoyable and usable game that takes into account the huge variability in the perspective taking skills within the target group (preschoolers at the age of five, and older children with learning disabilities). Sifteo Cubes can be considered as digital or intelligent manipulatives that are often used in instruction. We advocate that these type tangible objects can help children performing VPT related tasks since they allow for actions in the real world that aid their thinking. Pre-test and post-test results revealed a short term learning effect on VPT skills after playing the two games.

OHR is a puzzle and platform game, based on both classical mechanics and tangible interaction, powered by Unity3D and a custom-built hardware interface called Radiant Square (Radiant2). OHR tells the tale of Spark, an electronic life form, which wakes up in an electronic components dump, trying to exit from it. Players will help Spark to solve puzzles placed throughout the game world using the provided game elements, represented as physical electronic components, by placing them on the Radiant2. Thanks to both the game design and Radiant2 each puzzle can be solved in different ways, allowing the players to explore various solutions. A video presentation of OHR and Radiant2 can be found at: http://youtu.be/0Gh0tuTHAXk

In this paper, we propose the notion of screen ecologies and argue for its importance in the study of contemporary digital game play. We draw on findings from a range of studies to highlight the interplay between screen ecologies, game design, and registers of engagement. We discuss how game play is increasingly mediated by multiple screen configurations, and in turn, how the design of different games are suited to or appropriated within these different screen ecologies. From this analysis we propose a number of modalities of game-engagement that we argue will assist further HCI research into game design and player experience research.
