About the Game Lab
The core mechanic resembles the therapeutic or educational action. The aesthetics get gamified, not the other way around.
The Texas A&M Game Lab designs, builds, and studies games and extended reality (XR) experiences for health, rehabilitation, learning, and creative expression. Every project in the showcase is a working prototype, developed and evaluated with real users.
Most games aim their mechanics at stimulation: shooting something, or dialogue that exists to spring a mystery. Our projects sit in the sweet spot between simulating everything and merely gamifying, and all of it serves behavioral change. The lab is building a framework so the approach holds across many different situations.
