AIMS AND SCOPE
CHI 2013 “Games User Research: Practice, Methods, and Applications”
workshop provides a venue for collaborative knowledge construction,
sharing and dialogue across the games industry and the
interdisciplinary academic fields. The goal of this one-day workshop
is to advance the state of the art in the game industry by
knowledge-sharing with frontline research from academia and between
companies. It ultimately aims at providing the basis for
cross-pollination across the involved research fields and industry
sectors. The theme of this year’s workshop is: “Beyond Usability: GUR
practices to evaluate video games user experience”. We welcome all
contributions from academic researchers and industry practitioners on
innovative methodologies and applied techniques to assess fun, appeal
and engagement in games.

The workshop invites contributions on the following topics:

- Methods (e.g., how to design calibrated questionnaires)
- Solutions (e.g., guidelines to capture qualitative feedback)
- Industry practice (i.e., lessons from the trenches)

related to the workshop topic. We also solicit papers with industry,
academic in a form of case study to highlight real-world issues that
need to be tackled by new research and recent advancements that
improve games user research processes, as well as novel and successful
methods for evaluation design, player experience, and understanding
users.

A presentation abstract and slides (we ONLY recommend this for
