ABSTRACT
In this paper we present a model that describes how design disciplines interact with each other in mulltidisciplinary game design. We base this model on experience from the design of a computer-augmented card game. myTHeme. Our purpose is to show how hardware, software and game rules interact with and affect each other during the design process of games that are computer augmented. The model revolves around a flexible core of design requirements, suitable for multidisciplinary design projects. This model is an adaptation of the classic iterative design model, helping to explain clashes between design areas and aid focus shifting from one design discipline to another.

Designing for immediate play
FDG '17: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital GamesThis paper is concerned with designing for immediate play, the experience that a player has when joining a game designed for being played without particular preparation. Museum games, urban games, casual sports, and ad-hoc multiplayer video games are ...
Sensation: Measuring the Effects of a Human-to-Human Social Touch Based Controller on the Player Experience
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe observe an increasing interest on usage of full-body interaction in games. However, human-to-human social touch interaction has not been implemented as a sophisticated gaming apparatus. To address this, we designed the Sensation, a device for ...
Wizard's apprentice gameplay-oriented design of a computer-augmented board game
ACE '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM SIGCHI international conference on Advances in computer entertainment technologyThis paper describes the prototype Wizard's Apprentice, a computer-augmented board game. Unlike many previous examples from research, which use board games as a means to explore technology, the game was developed from the starting point of gameplay ...
