Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Saskatchewan
$150,000.00
Digital Gaming Technologies and Experiences
EF 2020-21
Résumé
Digital gaming both benefits and harms players. The problem is that researchers,
designers, policy makers, and players cannot differentiate between beneficial
gaming that improves wellbeing and pathological gaming that damages quality
of life. Mandryk will discover and model the complex relationships between gaming
and its effects and leverage these relationships to design new games. Relevant for
academia and industry, she will improve understanding of the positive and negative
effects of gaming. She will create novel games and interfaces that provide
compelling social game experiences, that can assess wellbeing at a scale not
currently possible, and that improve quality of life.
