Lunchtime Talk: Designing Place-Based Games
This talk will be sharing practical insights into designing games that engage with place.
This talk will be sharing practical insights into designing games that engage with place. It will consider what focusing on ‘place’ means for the play experience and how different design techniques can influence these experiences across digital and non-digital media.
Dr. Jack Lowe is a geographer who designs games and interactive narrative experiences. His practice-based PhD involved developing and testing three location-based games in East Kent, using media as varied as QR codes, audiowalks and the what3words app.
