Games are a uniquely human endeavour, reducing stress and supporting mental well-being. Astronauts aboard the ISS have created their own games using materials at hand and pure creativity. What if we could create games for them that took particular advantage of aspects of space, such as micro-gravity, and would help keep astronauts mentally engaged, socially connected, and physically relaxed?
Zero-G-ames is an ongoing series of workshops to explore, discuss, and design the history and future of games in constrained spaces and microgravity environments.
Let’s play!
