Our Gaming Lab provides an environment where students can design and play the games they design, and investigate novel interaction techniques. Students use the latest technologies for their games that can be played on PCs and the XBox360. Input devices from Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation are used as well as custom devices that are built for Game-User Interaction. The lab space is also used by our Gaming Club students who design games, work on the aesthetics of the games, and enter competitions. We focus on extending the expressive capabilities of gaming to better understand how gaming can improve our lives.
