Focuses on sensing methods for measuring physiological function, interpreting data from these methods and implementing them in games and designed experiences. Covers the fundamentals of sensor measurement, data quality, analysis, interpretation for user experience studies and integration for driving game mechanics. Examines quantitative data analysis and categorical decision making based on different types of biosensor data. Offers students opportunities to experience different sensing methods, integrating them into their own games, experiments, or experiences and interpreting data for a final project and use in their own future design and experimental work.
