Examining Immersion in a Game-Based Experiment to Study Extreme Behavior
Examining immersion in a game-based experiment to study Rudy Boonekamp1, Tamar Schaap2, Helma van den Berg3 This paper investigates whether immersion in a game-based experiment can be used to observe authentic behavior, for example in the case of studying extreme behaviors under unfamiliar circumstances.
Roleplaying the Future of Surveillance
This paper examines the use of live-action role-playing (larp) as both a research method and a means of public engagement with the ethics of machine vision and surveillance technologies.
- The paper's central case is 'Sivilisasjonens venterom' (The Waiting Room of Civilization), a larp that debuted in November 2021 at the University Museum of Bergen, Norway, set in a post-apocalyptic city-state governed by an AI 'Intelligence' where citizenship depends on being legible to video surveillance, facial recognition, and emotion recognition systems.
- The authors frame the larp as a way to cultivate phronesis (practical ethical judgment), placing players in situations requiring real choices about compliance, resistance, and exploitation of surveillance systems.
- The design draws on Nordic larp traditions emphasizing collaboration, unobtrusive rules, and heavy themes, as well as Emma Leigh Waldron's 'Performance-as-Research' approach and the authors' earlier research larp 'The Asylum Seekers'.
Video Games as a Supportive Tool in the Therapeutic Process
This study, by Marcin Mateusz Granat, examines whether video games can support the treatment of diseases with rising morbidity rates.
- Video games were evaluated as an adjunct therapy across six conditions (stroke, cerebral palsy, childhood amblyopia, pediatric brain tumor, PTSD, and depression) using literature from MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE and IEEE Xplore covering 1988–2020, restricted to studies with control groups.
- In post-stroke rehabilitation, a study of 20 patients using Xbox Kinect found statistically significant mobility gains compared with standard therapy, and competitive two-player modes were linked to higher exercise intensity and lower stress than single-player play.
- In pediatric care, a trial of 20 children with cerebral palsy showed significant gains on the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, and children with amblyopia gained visual acuity over 20 hours of play, faster than the reference patching approach.
New Deixis? New Anaphora? New Semantics: Language Game and the Obviousness of Sex Marking
Arkadiusz Jabłoński's 2021 paper in Homo Ludens examines whether new Polish practices of marking sex in language, including feminatives, gendered deixis, and anaphora, actually solve genuine communicative problems.
- The paper argues that gender marking in Polish is only loosely tied to biological sex, so rigid binary marking of sex where it was previously unmarked is often redundant.
- Using Berne's transactional model, the author characterizes the practice of imposing gender as a primary parameter in language as a 'parent' stance, and frames the feminative and gendered deixis debate as a 'language game' rather than issuing a normative verdict.
- The author contends that neutral-gender forms already secure linguistic equality, and that the case for binary sex marking lacks clear empirical evidence of solving real communicative problems.
