This is a multidisciplinary team focusing on translating user and consumer understanding into mixed-reality solutions and playful interactions. The team follows the principles of human-centric design in all activities and applies rapid prototyping whenever possible. Instead of usability, user and game experience research and experience design are in the core of the team's approach.
As a result of the team's activities, novel cross-platform service and game concepts taking full advantage of the strengths of mobility and capacity of desktop computers are introduced. Further, theory on user and game experience related matters is developed, often together with University partners.
