Game Design // Playful Systems // Games for Purpose // Alternative Interfaces
Games and play are able to extend beyond entertainment to address educational and social goals through meaningful play. At xm:lab, the focus is on crafting playful experiences that feature innovative, often unconventional interfaces placed within unique contexts. We explore how playful interactions can influence behavior, enhance learning, and open up new expressive possibilities. Traditional game mechanics and interface designs are challenged, pushing the limits of how games and play act as mediums for critical engagement and creative expression.
