Research in Playful Interaction Design
I am an Interface Design student at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and joined the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories in summer 2008 where I now work as a research assistant. I am also working for Creative Gaming and A MAZE. since 2009, where I organize the monthly "Night of Machinima". Currently, I am interested in transferring interaction in games to artifacts with “real world application“. Therefore, my research topics are the persuasive and emotional aspects of games, their procedural rhetoric, and, of course, where such implementations would be of need and change interaction paradigms.
