SAVEstate: A Method for Documenting Player Reflection in Digital Games
The SAVEstate method establishes a robust framework for capturing eudaimonic player experiences, shifting the focus of game user research from purely hedonic metrics toward the nuanced processes of reflection and meaning-making.
- The SAVEstate method utilizes the SavePoint desktop application to synchronize in-situ player annotations with gameplay recordings, allowing for the documentation of reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action.
- This framework shifts game user research from purely hedonic metrics toward eudaimonic experiences, focusing on how players construct meaning and significance within digital environments.
- By using contextual anchors linked to specific gameplay timestamps, the method categorizes player insights into functional types such as procedural signaling, memory aids, and traces of affect.

Touch Space: An Embodied Computing Mixed Reality Game Space
Touch-Space introduces a novel mixed reality (MR) gaming framework designed to reintegrate physical interaction, human touch, and social presence into computer entertainment.
- Touch-Space utilizes an embodied computing framework to integrate physical movement, tangible object manipulation, and social interaction into room-scale mixed reality gaming.
- The system features a seamless transition interface that allows players to switch between AR and VR modes while maintaining continuous physical and social awareness of other participants.
- By anchoring digital 3D objects to physical locations and movements, the framework replaces traditional screen-based interfaces with natural gestures and body language.
