CHI PLAY Lasting Impact Award
This award annually honors one influential paper published at CHI PLAY that has significantly impacted the CHI PLAY community and beyond. In 2024, full papers published from the CHI PLAY conference ten years prior (i.e., 2014) were considered. After careful considerations and a multi-stage evaluation process, the Lasting Impact Award Committee selected the following paper as the winner out of many highly competitive candidate papers, as it has made outstanding contributions to the field of player-computer interaction and has shown sustained influence.
