About the Authors xxvii psychology, and neuroscience. Parts of her dissertation are published in international journals such as Journal of Advertising and Journal of Business Research. After her Ph.D., Karolien joined the Game Experience Lab of Eindhoven University of Technology and started integrating her experience and knowledge on emotions into the field of digital gaming. Her current research at the MIOS (Media & ICT in Organisations & Society) Research Group at the University of Antwerp focuses on the experience and consumption of digital media (e.g., digital games, virtual worlds) and strategic communication in digital worlds (e.g., in-game advertising, health communication through digital media). Jari Takatalo, Lic.A. (Psych.), is working as a researcher in Psychology of Evolving Media and Technology (POEM) research group located at the Department of Psychology, University of Helsinki. Takatalo has several years of experience in developing a psychological theory and measurement method to understand experiences in various computer-generated environments. His research interests concern both work and entertainment applications with various display technologies (for example, head-mounted and stereo displays and CAVE’s). Currently, he is finishing his Ph.D. in user experience measurement model for digital games. Manfred Tscheligi is professor for Human–Computer Interaction & Usability at the University of Salzburg, ICT&S Center (Center for Advanced Studies and Research in Information and Communication Technologies & Society). He is founder and director of CURE, the Vienna (Austria) based Center for Usability Research & Engineering, which is an independent research organization. He is also founder, owner, and managing director of USECON-The Usability Consultants GmbH, an international usability and user experience engineering consultancy company. Manfred has been active in the areas of Interactive Systems, Human–Computer Interaction, Usability Engineering, User Interface Design, and User Experience Research for more than 20 years. Manfred Tscheligi has done pioneer work to establish the field in Austria (both in university education, as research field and industrially applied field). He is also recognized as an active actor in the international scene. He has been successfully managing numerous research and industrial projects (among these more than 20 EC projects) and established national and international initiatives in this field. Gareth R. White is a Ph.D. student at the University of Sussex, United Kingdom. His research explores the design and evaluation of usability and user experience for video games, with a particular interest in practical solutions for titles under development by professional studios. Gareth has been playing video games since the Atari VCS 2600 arrived in his living room in the late 1970s, subsequently going on to teach himself how to program computer games on the BBC Micro as a child in the 1980s, and earning a BSc. (Hons) in Computer Science from the University of Brighton in 1998. Since graduating, Gareth has published several games as a professional programer working for studios in London, England; Adelaide, South Australia; and with Rockstar Games in Vienna, Austria, where he worked on titles in the Grand
xxviii About the Authors Theft Auto and Manhunt series. More recently, Gareth has consolidated his professional and personal interests with academic research, earning an M.A. in New Media from the University of the West of England in 2007, where he wrote about the nature of embodiment in Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. He has presented talks at the Australian Game Developers Conference about programing techniques for console development and has helped to launch and run Vertical Slice, a professional video game research company focusing on usability and user experience. Charlotte Wiberg assistant professor in Informatics, Umeå University, Sweden. Dr. Wiberg received her Ph.D. (2003) and bachelor’s degree (1997) from Umeå University in Sweden. Dr. Wiberg is specialized in evaluation methods for evaluating fun and entertainment in digital media and information technology. Her work focuses on games, websites, and other experience-related applications. In her earlier work, she conducted evaluations using traditional usability methods on entertainment IT and she proposed revision of the methods according to results in order to evaluate fun. Wiberg has conducted usability design – as a researcher and practitioner – for Vodafone, Swedish National TV (SVT), TeliaSonera, Coke Zero, and Le Meridien to mention some. Dennis Wixon currently serves as a user research manager for Microsoft Surface. Over the past 12 years Dennis has managed research for MSN, Microsoft Home Products, and Microsoft Game Studios. Dennis previously worked as a usability manager at Digital Equipment Corporation, where a number of important usability methods such as Usability Engineering and Contextual Inquiry were developed. His primary interest is innovative research methods for more usable, useful, and exciting designs that lead to commercial success. In addition, Dennis has been an active member of the human factors community for many years. Notably, in 1982 he was one of the five founding members of the Greater Boston Chapter of the ACM SIGCHI and was general co-chair of the SIGCHI 2002 conference. He has served as vice chair for Conferences for ACM SIGCHI and has been a member of the SIGCHI Executive Committee. Dennis has authored over 50 articles, book chapters, and talks on HCI and co-edited the book Field Methods Case Book for Software Design with Prof. Judy Ramey of the University of Washington. Wixon holds a Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Clark University and has published in numerous psychological journals, including The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and The Journal of Experimental Psychology.
