2009 – De Luca V., A model for interaction design collaborative processes.
The thesis explores the game design paradigm as supporting tool for design interactive projects in both digital and physical environments. The elastic process of ideas and competences negotiation has to be developed in a positive and meaningful way. In the emergent interdisciplinary research field, some experimental design practices show that the game goal isn’t only to achieve objects or badges but to create synergies and creative working flows among people through actual technologies. In this context, some experimental areas such as mixed or pervasive games and serious games are amplifying the possibility of hybridizing real life activities, virtual and digital worlds and reawakening the social interpretation of game as a public place. The thesis approaches the game design perspective in interaction design field not only as a tool but also as a thoughtful and structured combination of actions, choices and decisions that can significantly influence the way in which people interact and organize their lives. In this sense game design could be adopted by designers as a lens for a better understanding of the relationship between interactive technologies and human play behaviours. The linked project was an innovative integrated and collaborative visual authoring environment – based on process patterns – dedicated to the creation of games.
2004 – Organic Platform. Resources, competences and experiences on the interaction between art and technology
Thesis title: “Organic Platform. Resources, competences and experiences on the interaction between art and technology.” The work approaches the constellation of artists, designer and professionals around interactive works production. As result an organization system was structured along with a communication strategy. |
