This summer the GEMH lab is organizing a games festival! With this event we want to enable anyone and everyone to experience some highlights of the current games-for-wellbeing landscape. In the run-up to the event we will provide updates about the specific date, location, and program.
During the online edition of the Waterkant Festival, Joanneke Weerdmeester (GEMH Lab) & Owen Harris (Explore DEEP) gave a joint talk on using interactive technology such as games and VR to improve our well-being. Check it out!
Check out the interview I did on an awesome Dutch documentary series, Doc Talks.
In this series we want to highlight some of the games that we are playing within the GEMH Lab or that we find interesting from a mental health perspective. These games will be compiled in a masterlist that will be linked back to in each upcoming blog.
Recently I gave an interview with VICE Benelux about some of the psychological mechanisms that underlie completionism in gaming.
