Summary: The Games User Research (GUR) community has thrived at CHI with four
workshops and a course since CHI 2012; all of these were well attended. In line
with the #chi4good spirit this year, the GUR field must advance towards
demographics that will benefit from GUR but are currently underrepresented in
the community: Small, independent developers, non-profit organizations, and
academics that create mobile games, games for health or change, or educational
games. This workshop will be a think tank for participants to construct
collective knowledge, share and discuss. We plan to discuss topics online
beyond the workshop via the International Game Developer Associations Special
Interest Group on GUR, which serves as a basis for disseminating workshop
outcomes and further discussion.
