Programme
Experience is everything! That’s why the GEMH Game Gallery’s main event is our demo square. But that is not all! In addition to the mesmerising immersive games we will have on display, a number of exciting speakers will stand at the ready to tell you all about the bright side of games, whether from the scientist’s perspective, the game designer’s perspective, or the gamer’s perspective!
Demos
Our demos will showcase the very best and brightest of what video games can offer for our mental health. Need to relax? No worries, come and take a deep breath in an amazing VR experience. Or do your emotions overwhelm you sometimes, and would you just love to draw your feelings and dance with them? No worries, we’ve got you covered.
These experiences and many more will be available at the GEMH Game Gallery!
Talks
In addition to the games we offer on our demo square, sometimes it’s also important to be reminded of the science behind video games for wellbeing. In a number of interactive fun talks and sessions, we invite you to exchange thoughts and experiences with us and each other!
