Gameful Innovation Lab

Welcome to the ‘GINI Lab’ - the Gameful Innovation Lab, a unique place where students, external experts and researchers can come together to develop new innovations. Here, playful and game-based solutions are created, which can then be evaluated in controlled experiments, analogue, digital or virtual, with individuals or teams.

To this end, the lab is equipped with a variety of high-tech devices, including powerful computers for the development of 3D applications, sensors, IoT devices, AR and VR devices as well as analogue and digital games - everything needed to develop prototypes and conduct studies.

The laboratory is primarily used to carry out the following activities:

  • Prototype development: playful and game-based prototypes are created here in digital, analogue or hybrid form as part of research projects and seminars.
  • Controlled experiments and studies: The laboratory enables controlled experiments and studies to be carried out with both digital and analogue prototypes. The spectrum ranges from metaverse to augmented reality and virtual reality applications.
  • Observation of group dynamics: The focus is also on observing group dynamics in cooperative, team-oriented and multiplayer games.
