Games Usability

with Alison Walton (Bunnyfoot) and GiGi Demming (Amberlight Partners Ltd)

11thDec '07

About the event

With Christmas on the way and toys and games beneath many Christmas trees, we looked at some of the more fun areas of usability applications - computer and interactive games. This event featured talks by two very experienced consultants in this area, showing how research can be applied to achieve that delicate balance between the gaming challenge, player engagement and usability.
