Game and Interaction Science: Using Principles from Games to Design Novel Interfaces that Compel and Motivate

人机交互(HCI)通常侧重于软件的任务和功能，通常只在实现功能后才应用于可用性。然而，最近的技术进步和目前在市场上的成功都表明，人们非常关心互动本身。人们被简单、自然、直观的互动所吸引，最好是愉快、有趣的互动。尽管在这一领域有着巨大的商业兴趣，但研究仍然集中在可用性上。相比之下，我和我的研究团队将探索使技术具有激励作用、吸引力，甚至可能是令人信服的使用背后的科学。这将是对交互的深度关注，我们将探索支持触摸中的物理以及全身和空间交互的技术，希望解锁交互的那些方面，这些方面可以在保留功能的同时将我们推向嬉戏和音乐。

Human-computer interaction (HCI) has typically focused on tasks and functionality of software, often with attention to usability only applied once functionality has been achieved. However, both recent technological advances and current successes in the marketplace suggest that people care deeply about the interaction itself. People are attracted by interactions that are simple, natural, and intuitive; preferably even pleasurable and playful. In spite of the huge commercial interest in this area, research has remained focused on usability. In contrast, my research team and I will explore the science behind making technology motivating, attractive, and perhaps even compelling to use. This will be a deep focus on interaction, where we will explore the technologies that support physicality in touch, as well as full-body and spatial interaction, looking to unlock those aspects of interaction that can move us towards the playful and the ludic while retaining functionality.
