EGL Mission Statement

The Experimental Game Lab explores the frontiers of gaming. In this interdisciplinary lab, computer scientists, designers and artists work together to push the boundaries of existing genres and create new genres of electronic games. To accomplish this mission, the EGL pursues three interwoven strands:

• novel game designs that create new player experiences
• new technologies, particularly AI technologies, that enable previously impossible designs
• and investigations of how games function as a medium, including social, cultural and representational aspects of games.

While we're excited by all the activity and energy in the game scene, we're impatient with the current state-of-the-art and eager to see the future of gaming. At the EGL we're helping to create that future.
