Session
Do you enjoy immersive games? Do you struggle getting your colleagues excited about PIDs or platform governance? Wouldn’t it be neat if there was an immersive game designed to explore community decision-making and research infrastructure? Believe it or not, this is work in progress with the Open Game Data commons, an open infrastructure for learning game research, developed by Field Day Lab at the University of Wisconsin.
Come prepared to share your experiences and contribute your ideas in this heads- and hands-on game co-design workshop. You’ll get to practice participatory consent processes and explore the use of facilitated rounds to surface and prioritize game design features. Bring your PID passion, bring your visionary imagination, bring your heads and hands. We’ll bring the post-its and markers.
