About the Presentation
Video games are a primary means by which staggering numbers of people interact with computers. Game mechanics have been successfully integrated into compelling real-world applications like Foursquare, Google Image Labeler, and Fold.it. So why do we still view game design as a practice that's separate from user experience design? We should drop that artificial distinction, and game design should become a permanent part of our UX toolkit. We should furthermore expand our skillset to adopt the core competencies needed to build high-quality game experiences. This fun and interactive presentation will encourage UX professionals to consider game-based solutions to common design problems, and outline ten guidelines to help them maximize the success of game-based projects.
