Abertay University have just opened up a new gaming lab at their campus.
The university launched the new leading-edge lab spaces with the aim to support teaching and research activities for video games design and digital art.
The new Competitive Games Lab and Wacom Cintiq Lab is located within Abertay’s national Centre for Excellence in Computer Games Education, which they state will “bring the latest, industry-standard equipment and facilities onto campus for students and research staff”.
The new lab, fitted with 20 high-specification gaming PCs, will provide a space where games can be play-tested by designers and researchers, including a focus on accessibility features for gamers with additional needs.
Abertay University also say that the lab “will be used to lead research across a range of themes relevant to the games industry”, including how to defend esports events from cyberattacks, as well as creating strategies to promote a positive and inclusive culture in “what is a traditionally male-dominated sector”.
