Studying player collaboration

In the very near future I’ll begin work on studying the concrete social interaction of real people playing various types of multiplayer games (games with different patterns of collaboration). The project involves both qualitative interviews and structured observation.

There are many possibilites for (ITU) students to collaborate on this project, so if you are one or know one, with interests running in this direction, get in touch.

Interesting bucket of mixed emotions on the forums. Mainly the 3D extravanganza has a few people worried (me – and certainly my trusted laptop – included).
