This experimental lab is a unique tool that positions us to do excellent work.
Who We Are
We are producers, designers, artists and engineers
with the EAE Program at the University of Utah
We are students, we are faculty, and we are industry professionals
We are passionate, curious, creative and committed, and we are also technologically agnostic
We believe that the strength of the U of U is having world-class researchers in a variety of areas. By bringing game developers and medical researchers together we can create therapeutic medical games and apps that are innovative, highly engaging and clinically validated.
What We Do
We create therapeutic, medical, academic and educational video games, mobile apps, and websites for groups that wish to partner with EAE.
We’ve created 47 student positions over the course of 2 semesters.
We employ grad students, undergrad students, instructors and faculty of the EAE Program.
