Grade: 1.1
In my studies at the HTW, I picked the specialization "Game Technology & Interactive Systems". Apart from the more general foundation and game-related courses (AI for Games & Interactive Systems, Game & Interaction Design, Realtime Interactive Systems, Games & Simulation Technology), I had a lot of room and independence to spend on game projects, both in teams and alone, using technology like the Kinect, the Leap Motion or a multi-touch table with object recognition. I wrote my master's thesis about making games for the latter.
