While waiting for participants to take part in my study, I decided to submit an abstract to the Games Innovation Conference in London. The work I’ve proposed looks at the importance of the personalisation of music on player experience in exergames.

Notification of acceptance is on the 1st of June so until then I can focus on other things!

Good news, the DiGRA Cfp has now been pushed back to the 17th of April. This gives me ample time, or certainly more time, to work on proposals for the conference. Interested in a symposia or workshop followed by a paper submission.
The first DiGRA I attended was in Vancouver ’05 with my fellow eMotion Lab colleagues, back then we were in the very early stages of our academic endeavours. The conference gave us a taste of what academia entailed and 4 years later we’re still pursuing it which means we definitely liked what we saw

Wednesday afternoon was spent running usability tests with the eye tracker. After initial hiccups, the eye tracker was throwing a minor tantrum, we were able to locate a proxy server to help overcome these issues.
The proxy server in question was HideMyAss, no it does not redirect you to unfriendly sites but I certainly received some curious looks from the participants.
The usability tests allowed me to kill two birds with one stone as I was able to demonstrate the eye-tracker in all it’s glory to a final year student interested in using it for her project as well as evaluating a website. Her enthusiasm was reassuring as it shows that there are still students out there keen on learning!
Managed to submit an abstract for the Games For Health Conference 2009, now I have to wait and see if it has been accepted *fingers crossed*
