Research interests: persuasive video games (especially social activism games), mobile games, immersion in games

Supervisor: Magy Seif el-Nasr

Ideas I'd like to explore in class: effect of immersion on the body and the emotions, biofeedback and emotions. I also like the iTunes U idea.

Ideas for projects: 1. setting up a feedback loop to respond to physiological signifiers that result from a speech impediment (still working this out, so this may change). 2. measuring physiological reactions to playing a persuasive video game on an iPhone/iPad.
