@verapio @ZPD (Bewegt)bilder lassen sich mit Verfahren der #computervision und #distantviewing untersuchen - hier lässt sich Methodik aus den digitalen Filmstudien anwenden. Beispielsweise hat Adrian Demleitner Bildclustering auf Computerspielgrafiken angewendet. Hier zu sehen: Ein "Boxcluster" 🥊 #digitalhumanities #gamestudies #hacknplay2026

Im Oktober 2025 veröffentlichte eine UK Bingo-Webseite eine "Studie" dazu, welche Gamer*innen am Klügsten sind. Ein IQ-Mittelwert von 120 bei Dota2 und Fifa-Spieler*innen sind nur bei 90!

Warte, ergibt das Sinn? Natürlich nicht. Hier schreib' ich auch, warum:

It's not often I stumble across Russian #GameStudies

In 2021's "Game Room" (Игродром), author Alexander Vetushinsky delves into #Gaming's cultural impact through the lenses of philosophy, psychology and media theory.

Demain, le cours Algorithmes et structures de données est consacré à la compression de données. Mon collègue donne la première heure sur le fonctionnement de l'algorithme derrière le format JPEG, tandis que je ferai un exposé sur l'encodage des niveaux de Super Mario Bros. Ainsi, c'est avec énormément de bonheur que je relis le chapitre 4 du I AM ERROR (2015) de Nathan Altice. Quel ouvrage. #GameStudies #PlatformStudies #UNIL #LettresUNIL

Depuis cette rentrée, nous publions des travaux de nos étudiants et étudiantes sur un carnet de recherche Hypothèses.

Le premier est consacré à la #Microvision, cette console portable de la fin des années 1970 qui a connu une douzaine de jeux.
