Center for Digital Play
The Center for Digital Play houses a multi-disciplinary research group with backgrounds in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Computer Science. The group performs basic and applied research, approaching games from a variety of perspectives including theoretical analysis, design, ethnographic and qualitative approaches, AI, user (cognitive and affective) modeling and player experience. The Center was formally established in 2003, building on ongoing work in the area at the ITU since its founding in 1999.
