The goal of the workshop is to explore the domain of health related games via ideating and hacking a game related to health and well-being, and to introduce the Games 4 Health Challenge 2016 that takes place in March 2016.
Participants will be given a quick introduction to the domain via short presentations and tutorials and then spend the rest of the day hacking a game which will be presented and evaluated at the end of the workshop.
Students will learn to develop simple games using the Unity game engine and will have the chance to work and experiment with novel interface devices.
