Andreas Schiffler.
Physicist and Media Art Programmer
Senior Software Architect, IC-Agency, Canada
About the Research
My work involves the analysis and linkage between computer games and
physics (i.e. game physics) - in particular the thesis is trying to
describe how good (or bad) game physics can be sometimes and study
the impact this can have on players and the general view of physics
(for example in education). The research is more focused on media-art
and philosophy aspects than the engineering and computer-science of
game physics.
