After four months of work, we are excited to announce Lofi Hip Hop Worlds To Study In!
We designed this mindfulness study aid as part of Richard Lemarchand's class at the USC School of Cinematic Arts Interactive Media and Games Division. It is based on research on mindful gaming that Matthew Hamilton has been conducting with Tracy Fullerton at the Game Innovation Lab and with Betsy DiSalvo at Georgia Tech. This research will be presented at the HCI 2021 conference.
We are providing this version of the software on a pay-what-you can basis to support students and teachers engaged in remote learning during the pandemic. Some players have compared it to the "fidget toys" they have on their desks to provide sensory breaks during long work sessions.
