Gangs of Bremen is an interdisciplinary research group that focuses on mobile gaming experiences and their conceptual, aesthetical and technological foundations by exploring, developing, and play testing mobile games. Lead by Barbara Grüter the group currently has a team of five members.

Mobile games are based on the bodily movement of the players in their natural environment, which is enriched by virtual dimensions.

For Gangs of Bremen research, design and development of mobile games is a play-based process and research combines applied research on game design, development and evaluation with basic research on games and HCI moving beyond the desk.
