Ludic Engagement and Immersion as a Generic Paradigm for Human-Computer Interaction Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Ludic systems are interactive media productions typically generalised under the heading of computer games, but actually integrating elements of game play, simulation or modeling, and narrative. The success of ludic systems lies in their highly effective modes of player engagement and immersion. Game play, simulation and narrative have their own respective forms of engagement and immersion that have often been overlooked in the development of models for human-computer interaction. As game systems become more ubiquitous, technical platforms will evolve to support more game-like interaction in general. This will facilitate the development of many applications having ludic engagement and immersion modes that dissolve some of the distinctions between work and play, providing the potential for alleviating tedium in many computer-based work tasks.

Running head: WHAT IS LUDIC ABOUT LUDIC
This paper focuses on ludic design as part of the paradigm of design research that explores new ways to implement computer systems. In this paper, we want to further explore the specificity of ludic design. First, we introduce Bill Gaver’s definition. Second, we compare his claim to theories of ludicity that were developed in sociology and psychology. We then analyze a portfolio of artifacts to...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Humanity Research Paradigms based on Analysis of Human – Environment Interaction
As claimed by many behavioral scientists, designing should be based on the knowledge of interaction between human and environment. Environmental quality is also created in the context in which humans interact with their environment. To achieve such quality, designers should develop appropriate models for explaining this relationship, and this requires an understanding of human nature and the en...
متن کاملInteractive Narrative, Plot Types, and Interpersonal Relations
The design of an interactive narrative begins with the choice of a type of story. In this paper I examine the potential of three kinds of plot for active user participation: the epic plot, which focuses on the struggle of the individual to survive in a hostile world, the dramatic plot, which deals with the evolution of a network of human relations, and the epistemic plot, which is propelled by ...
متن کاملBodily Engagement in Multimodal Interaction: A Basis for a New Design Paradigm?
The creative processes of interaction design operate in terms we generally use for conceptualising human-computer interaction (HCI). Therefore the prevailing design paradigm provides a framework that essentially affects and guides the design process. We argue that the current mainstream design paradigm for multimodal user-interfaces takes human sensory-motor modalities and the related userinter...
