My main research interests relate to the theories and practices associated with the design of novel games and playful experiences often using mobile as the primary platform and incorporating novel technologies such as Augmented Reality/Virtuality. The majority of this research is conducted using techniques pioneered within our group relating to an 'in the wild' methodology utilising 'app stores' and social networks. I am also interested in the non entertainment use of games and playful experiences through persuasion and gameful design.
