Andreas Schiffler
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.
