What is the Exertion Games Lab?
The Exertion Games Lab is a research lab within the Games Program at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
What does the Exertion Games Lab do?
The Exertion Games Lab invents the future of gaming in order to understand how to design better interactive experiences, in particular games that require intense physical effort from players.
The research is particularly focused on the merging of “play” and the human “body”, drawing from research streams such as embodied interaction, interaction design, human-computer interaction and games research.
This research builds upon the work on Exertion Interfaces by Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller.
What is the Exertion Games Lab like?
Inspired by the culture of the MIT Media Lab, the Exertion Games Lab is an interdisciplinary work environment full of creative scientists, designers, artists and engineers from all over the world.
The Exertion Games Lab is headed by Dr. Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller, a graduate of the MIT Media Lab and a Fulbright fellow at Stanford University.
We don’t just philosophise and write about the future, we actively invent it. We emphasize the development of working prototypes and gaming demonstrators of new technologies in order to fully understand how players would use them in the future.
What does the Exertion Games Lab offer to students?
The Exertion Games Lab offers supervision for a wide range of degrees, please see the Engage page.
What does the Exertion Games Lab offer to industry and non-profit organizations outside university?
We engage in contract and collaborative research projects. We also offer tailored workshops and seminars to organizations looking for insight into new gaming innovations and foresight of future technology and media trends. Contact us to open a dialogue on how we can help your organization transform itself for a future of play.
