Friction in Games and Computational Media

Detail of the cover of the issue

I've co-edited with Pedro Cardoso a special issue of the Journal of Digital Media & Interaction published by the University of Aveiro. This issue is focused on friction in games and computational media, particularly looking at the benefits of designing it into systems. This issue was edited in the scope of the project “Break the Loop: Driving Meaningful Interactions with Inconvenient Design Strategies”, funded by national funds through FCT — Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, with the reference 2023.14448.PEX.
