The lab was well represented at CHIPLAY, an ACM conference for research on human computer interaction in the context of play and/or games.
Presentations included a full paper about digital patronage- understanding why people subscribe to Twitch streamers (here’s a blog post about the paper written by Pradnya Desai and Dr. Wohn), a full paper about understanding in-game purchasing patterns in Fortnite, and a poster about charity streaming.
