Bark No More

    Bark no More is a mixed reality (MR) tower defense game that reimagines your everyday surroundings as an interactive battlefield. By leveraging spatial mapping and depth sensing, the game blends virtual elements with the physical world. The core gameplay centers on intuitive, embodied interaction.

    Physical motions replace traditional controller-based inputs, creating a seamless bridge between the player’s body and the game world.

Vibe Check: AI-powered Player Experience Dashboard

    What do players talk about in their reviews—and how has that changed over time? Are there patterns in the way players describe their experiences? Can we trace any shifts or trends? And more importantly, can we make sense of those changes?

    This project is a proof of concept (POC) where we explore whether psychological player experience questionnaires—like Corgis, Player Experience Inventory, Aesthemos—along with the help of LLMs, can help us better understand player experiences as expressed in reviews.
