We are thrilled to announce that our Software Quality and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) team has been recognized for their exceptional contributions to the field at two prestigious international conferences.

Best Paper Award at HCI International 2024

Our team received the Best Paper Award at the HCI International 2024 Conference held in Washington DC, USA. The awarded paper, titled “An Affect-Aware Game Adapting to Human Emotion”, explores innovative approaches to integrating affective computing into game design. This groundbreaking work demonstrates how games can dynamically adapt to players’ emotional states, enhancing engagement and user experience. We are incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and hard work that led to this remarkable achievement.

In addition, our paper titled “Development of a 3D Virtual World Tool for Sustainable Energy Education” has been nominated for the Best Paper Award at the SEED 2024 Conference in Valencia, Spain. This research highlights the creation of an immersive 3D virtual environment designed to educate users on sustainable energy practices. The nomination itself is a testament to the impactful and innovative nature of our work in promoting sustainable education through advanced technological solutions.
