Game Research Lab

The Game Research Laboratory in the University of Tampere is a top facility for culturally and qualitatively oriented games research and part of a new School of Information Sciences (TRIM, Tampere Research Center of Information  Media – previously Hypermedia Laboratory). Both qualitative and quantitative, as well as experimental, design oriented means for examining games and players are being applied into the research, while paying attention to the various cultural, social, and psychological aspects that are important in wider contexts of gaming.

Game Research Lab is constantly developing methodologies as well as building digital and physical research environments as well as designing new tools that are suitable for the study of games, game players and in game design research.
