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

人机交互（HCI）通常关注软件的任务和功能，通常只关注功能实现后的可用性。然而，最近的技术进步和当前市场上的成功都表明，人们非常关心交互本身。人们会被简单、自然、直观的互动所吸引；最好是愉快和好玩的。尽管在这个领域有巨大的商业利益，但研究仍然集中在可用性上。相比之下，我的研究团队和我将探索背后的科学，使技术激励，有吸引力，甚至可能是令人信服的使用。这将是对互动的深入关注，我们将探索支持身体接触的技术，以及全身和空间互动，寻求解锁互动的那些方面，这些方面可以使我们走向好玩和滑稽，同时保留功能。

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.
