Fascinating talk from @KaitlynJones on inclusive design and designing for accessibility to kick off Day 3 of #FDG2023. Really inspiring and thought provoking_

Today we present our paper "Not Tekken Seriously? How Observers Respond to Masculine and Feminine Voices in Videogame Streamers" at #FDG2023 . We explore gender-based perceptions in gaming and we are so happy to have received a best paper award!

Fascinating (and unfortunately not so surprising) findings presented by Susanne Poeller Dr. Regan Mandryk 🦋 @reganmandryk et al: in a male-dominated genre, a player's personality is judged less positively if presented with a feminine voice. FDG 2023 Conference

In a very cool talk that tried to study body appreciation and self-image by watching how people alter avatars in character creation.

Really nice approach here - Laura did not ask for information about participants and instead let them describe themselves and see what they brought up. I love this.

Delighted to introduce people to our second keynote for today, Holly Nielsen who is talking about her wide-reaching research into games, culture and play.

Start of the second keynote! :) #FDG2023

We've been producing short recap videos for each day of the "live" FDG 2023 Conference interspersed with segments from our chats with some of the presenters. This is a great way to show to virtual attendees & people interested in games research the vibe & topics of the conference. [1/6]

Lots of things happening at FDG 2023 Conference but I want to highlight the excellent keynote by Holly Nielsen discussing tabletop games (focusing on the UK context), their politics & more. I highlight 1 slide, emphasizing the "remember, it's just a game..." in this designer's description.

So excited to see 🇵🇸 Younès present their ground-breaking work on Kolmogorov complexity and procedural generation at FDG 2023 Conference! Really interesting point about how the scale of PCG isn't always obvious to players, for example with island generation in Animal Crossing.

The alt.ctrl Panel Session will now begin! :) Tatiana Vilela DS ⚙️🐦 Eddie Melcer enric Mona Lynn

Toaster and Giant Hat controllers! #FDG2023

*Very* interesting talk about playable quotes presented by JF at FDG 2023 Conference - especially in terms of games preservation, as demonstrated by this slide. Also absolutely love the analogy of playable quotes as erasure poetry!

We played a bit around with #gamification for #QuantumComputing. The result: A beta version of a Rogue-like game teaching quantum computing. This week, Michael Artner presented the concept at FDG 2023 Conference. Wanna play a round? Then, check it out at cda.cit.tum.de/app/qrogue.

Just presented our theorem about the complexity of generators, and what it concretely means for the decisions human PCG designers have to make! #FDG2023 paper + slides + interactive graph 🔗pyrofoux.github.io/why-oatmeal-is…

#FDG2023 It begins!!!

Yesterday I had the privilege of presenting our paper "V-Light: Leveraging Edge Computing For The Design of Mobile Augmented Reality Games" on behalf of an amazing team of collaborators, including my advisors Erik Harpstead & Dr. Jessica Hammer, at #FDG2023

Yesterday I presented our research "Impact of BCI-Informed Visual Effect Adaptation in Walking Simulator" at #FDG2023 on behalf of my co-authors @gillianmsmith and Erin Treacy Solovey (hci.social/@Erinsol). We explored using BCI as supplementary control to affect visual effects in a video game.
