The IBM MQ Light API makes it simple for developers to create responsive applications that are easy to scale without having to become messaging experts. Increasingly, development teams choose from a wide variety of languages, so the MQ Light API is available in a range of popular languages such as Ruby and Python, with the syntax tailored to fit naturally in each. The same API can be used with MQ Light installed on a laptop, with enterprise MQ queue managers, or in the cloud with the Message Hub service, so you can move seamlessly between these environments. Come and see how this API can make your developers more productive.

GAMIFIN 2019 Conference Keynote: How to fail at #gamification researchLennart Nacke
Lennart Nacke describes the many ways that failure is important and necessary for iterative design and development of gamification research. He outlines several ways that current gamification research can improve on experiments, execution, and publication of gamification studies. He touches on areas of game thinking, user experience, and design to tie all the examples of failure together into a call for honest design and research in gamification.
Introduction to Game Thinking (Fluxible 2018)Lennart Nacke
Game thinking is a problem-solving process that uses strategies from game design and gamification to help drive the design of user experiences in digital or non-digital applications. Incorporating game thinking into the UX process can 1) foster users’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to engage with a product or system, and 2) engage users in a learning and mastery process, in which they develop the abilities needed to accomplish their goals throughout their user journey.

The 5 Gamification Languages: The secret to gameful experiences that last (Ga...Lennart Nacke
Good design is at the heart of gamification and learning. To become outstanding designers, we must have a language to communicate our ideas to our teams. Sometimes our gameful design languages (or design approaches) are different and communication suffers. This talk outlines how you can find your primary gamification language and introduces five languages: (1) goals and challenges, (2) quality of content and context, (3) incentives, (4) motivating actions, (5) system mechanics. Each of these present different perspectives on pursuing gameful design, but they are not always distinct – in fact, being able to speak all five gamification languages fluently will make you a better gameful designers. The talk will introduce each gamification design language with examples of how to apply these languages in a gamified learning context. You will be able to self-assess your gamification language and comprehend the language of other gameful designers in your time. If you learn more than your primary gamification language, you can apply these languages to improve your gameful designs for wider audiences.

#GamesUR Conference: From Body Signals to Brainy Player InsightsLennart Nacke
Games User Researchers are often sceptical when it comes to using brain and body sensors, but as the cost of sensor technologies continues to drop, it is time to consider the potential insights that we might gain from using these signals in our work. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the most common physiological measures that are used in Games User Research, and discuss the challenges in obtaining a clean signal and usable data from different low-cost devices. Additionally, I will make recommendations for signal cleaning procedures and briefly talk about the analysis made possible with different physiological sensors. I will also demonstrate the conclusions that may be inferred from some of these data when compared to other Games User Research methods, such as behavioural observation. Lastly, I will introduce some of my own visualization methods for quickly comprehending the meaning of physiological sensor data.
On the Usability of Psychophysiological User Research for the Games IndustryLennart Nacke
In this presentation from the 2012 Games User Research Summit, I talk about physiological research methods for games and why this matters for examining user experience with physiological measures.

Affective Ludology: Affective Measurement of User Experience in GamesLennart Nacke
Keynote from GameDays 2010: Serious Games for Sports and Health.
Digital games provide the most engaging interactive experiences. You will be able to take away 3 methods for measuring user experience in games from this talk. First, the objective assessment of physiological user responses together with automated event-logging techniques, so called game metrics, will show how to collect player- and game-related variables for a comprehensive understanding of their interaction. Second, using psychometric questionnaires willallow a reliable assessment of players' subjective emotion and cognition during gameplay. Third, the combination of the two approaches allows cross-correlations to be made about gameplay experience with focus on human-machine interaction.
Playability & Player Experience ResearchLennart Nacke
As the game industry matures and games become more and more complex, there is an increasing need to develop methodologies for analyzing and measuring player experience, in order to develop a better understanding of the relationship and interactions between players and games. This panel gathers distinguished European playability and user experience experts to discuss current findings and methodological advancements within player experience and playability research.
Game Metrics and Biometrics: The Future of Player Experience ResearchLennart Nacke
There is a call in industry and research for objective evaluation of player experience in games. With recent technological advancements, it is possible to automatically log numerical information on in-game player behavior and put this into temporal, spatial, and psychophysiological context. The latter is done using biometric evaluation techniques, like electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), and eye tracking. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss experimental results in academia and best practices in industry. This panel brings together experts from both worlds sharing their knowledge using conventional and experimental, qualitative and quantitative methods of player experience in games.
From Playability to a Hierarchical Game Usability ModelLennart Nacke
This paper presents a brief review of current game usability models. This leads to the conception of a high-level game usability framework model that integrates current usability approaches in game industry and game research.
