Like other forms of pop culture, they are moving beyond the realm of entertainment to become a genuine channel for communication..

Designing a high-impact video game and measuring its impact.

The interactive power of video games provides the levers to change our behaviour.
We researched these mechanics to find out how they influenced videogame experiences. Gamabilis has created a unique approach to measuring their impact on real-life behaviour in order to demonstrate their potential usefulness from a societal point of view and continually improve our design method. This work was conducted as part of a doctoral thesis.
