CHI PLAYGUE: A Mobile Conference Networking Game
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-11-06)Modern professional networking relies on social media. To take advantage of this fact, we present CHI PLAYGUE, a conference game designed to facilitate interaction among strangers and encourage social networking to create ... -
CLEVER: A Trivia and Strategy Game for Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Knowledge management (KM) includes the acquisition, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge within a company. The problem with many enterprise KM systems is that they are complex and hardly used, because workers lack ... -
CLEVER: Gamification and Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(ACM, 2016-10-16)This paper describes the design and a preliminary implementation study of a gamified knowledge management system (KMS) that supports the learning component within knowledge management (KM). KM includes acquiring social ... -
"The Collecting Itself Feels Good": Towards Collection Interfaces for Digital Game Objects
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Digital games offer a variety of collectible objects. We investigate players' collecting behaviors in digital games to determine what digital game objects players enjoyed collecting and why they valued these objects. Using ... -
Content Selection and Curation for Web Archiving: The Gatekeepers vs. the Masses
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-06)Any preservation effort must begin with an assessment of what content to preserve, and web archiving is no different. There have historically been two answers to the question "what should we archive?" The Internet Archive's ... -
Defining Haptic Experience: Foundations for Understanding, Communicating, and Evaluating HX
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Haptic technology is maturing, with expectations and evidence that it will contribute to user experience (UX). However, we have very little understanding about how haptic technology can influence people’s experience. ... -
Desiderata for Exploratory Search Interfaces to Web Archives in Support of Scholarly Activities
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-06)Web archiving initiatives around the world capture ephemeral web content to preserve our collective digital memory. In this paper, we describe initial experiences in providing an exploratory search interface to web archives ... -
Design and Preliminary Validation of The Player Experience Inventory
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)We present the design and preliminary results of the validation of the Player Experience Inventory (PXI). Based on the input of 64 experts in the field of player-computer interaction, we designed and refined this new scale. ... -
Elements of Gameful Design Emerging from User Preferences
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-10-15)Several studies have developed models to explain player preferences. These models have been developed for digital games; however, they have been frequently applied in gameful design (i.e., designing non-game applications ... -
Finding Community in the Ruins of GeoCities: Distantly Reading a Web Archive
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-10)This paper provides a brief overview of my work with the GeoCities web archive. Asking the question of “can we find community,” I use it as a case study to explain various methods for distantly reading web archives -
A Framework and Taxonomy of Videogame Playing Preferences
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-10-15)Player preferences for different gaming styles or game elements has been a topic of interest in human-computer interaction for over a decade. However, current models suggested by the extant literature are generally based ... -
The Gamification User Types Hexad Scale
(ACM, 2016-10-16)Several studies have indicated the need for personalizing gamified systems to users' personalities. However, mapping user personality onto design elements is difficult. Hexad is a gamification user types model that attempts ... -
Heuristic Evaluation for Gameful Design
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Despite the emergence of many gameful design methods in the literature, there is a lack of evaluation methods specific to gameful design. To address this gap, we present a new set of guidelines for heuristic evaluation of ... -
Investigating the Impact of Cooperative Communication Mechanics on Player Performance in Portal 2
(Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society, 2016-06)Cooperative communication mechanics, such as avatar gestures or in-game visual pointers, enable player collaboration directly through gameplay. We currently lack a deeper understanding of how players use cooperative ... -
Lightweight Games User Research for Indies and Non-Profit Organizations
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-05-07)The Games User Research (GUR) community has thrived at CHI with four workshops and a course since CHI 2012; all of these were well attended. In line with the #chi4good spirit this year, the GUR field must advance towards ... -
Measuring Haptic Experience: Elaborating the HX model with scale development
(IEEE, 2021-07-06)Designers increasingly employ haptic feedback with the aim to improve user experience (UX). Designers and researchers currently use qualitative methods or demos for feedback, but neither approach scales to large studies ... -
Personalization in Serious and Persuasive Games and Gamified Interactions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-10)Serious and persuasive games and gamified interactions have become popular in the last years, especially in the realm of behavior change support systems. They have been used as tools to support and influence human behavior ...
