Game Science Center, Technology museum in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.
The Game Science Center is a technology museum in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg that focuses on experimental video game interfaces. About 25 interactive exhibits demonstrate different control technologies including gesture recognition, eye tracking, and voice command systems.
The Game Science Center was founded by Cay Kellinghusen and Cyrill Etter, two former game developers, and opened in September 2014 in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. It operated without state funding until it closed in February 2020.
Every two months the Berlin Game Scene held "Talk & Play" at the center, a meetup where independent game developers showed their projects and exchanged ideas. The venue thus served Berlin's indie scene rather than the large PC and console studios. The museum closed in February 2020.
The museum closed in February 2020 after operating from September 2014, so there are no interactive stations to try today. It stood in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and was run without state funding by founders Cay Kellinghusen and Cyrill Etter. Check before travelling whether any successor venue or event exists.
The Augmented Reality Sandbox exhibit lets visitors touch and shape real sand while a digital system visualizes height changes in real time. This hybrid experience shows how physical and digital worlds merge in modern game interfaces.
