New Resource
The Center for Digital Games Research, at the University of California at Santa Barbara, takes a wide, cross-disciplines approach to the design and play of video games and digital media in general.
Digital games, now so embedded in our culture, have a place “in helping us make healthier decisions and foster healthier lifestyles.” The Center for Digital Games Research considers how people interact with health games and how games can be improved to be more effective.
Included in center’s activities are 21 funded projects, and the publication of a health games database, which catalogues “information about hundreds of games, publications, organizations and events - all focused on the use of digital games for health and health care”.
