Methodology

The "Play It Forward" research integrates multiple data sources to examine attention and immersion in gaming. It leverages the 'Attention Economy, Gaming' study, conducted by Dentsu and Lumen in partnership with Activision Blizzard Media, alongside neuroscience research from Alter Agents. The 'Attention Economy' study uses eye-tracking to measure ad attention during live gameplay with 200 U.S. participants aged 18 and above. Alter Agents' research tracks heart rates and conducts surveys with 83 participants to assess immersion. This combined approach delivers key insights into how gaming drives attention and engagement for advertisers.
