Learn more about the Computer Games Group
The Group conducts research into realistic, intelligent and intuitive interactions between humans and computers.
The Group’s research not only relates to computer games, but also focuses on addressing a range of industry issues, from technique issues faced by game developers to the issues of scalability and responsiveness involved in the development of massively multiplayer online games (MMOG).
Although the Computer Games Research Group has a diverse range of research interests, a central theme of the Group’s work is technology leverage – the provision of software technologies and tools, which allow game techniques to be developed, integrated and used effectively within a range of applications.
Thanks to this focus, the Group’s research has gained international recognition in a number of areas, including:
