Hey,

I'm Oz. I am Assistant Professor of Gameful Experience and got my PhD at Koç University - Arçelik Research Center for Creative Industries (KUAR) in Design, Technology and Society Program, Interaction Design Track. I currently work at Tampere University and affiliated with Gamification Group.

I mainly write about playful bodily technologies and designing games & play for a posthuman era. Both transhuman/cyborg experiences (convergence of humans and machines) and more-than-human perspectives (sharing the centre stage with other beings) are in my scope and I aim to understand how games will be shaped by posthuman technologies such as brain-machine interfaces, robotic companions, bodily implants or space habitation technologies. I also look into how designing the games of the future can inform us about future societies and societal structures.
