Gino Yu is an Associate Professor and Director of Digital Entertainment and Game Development in the School of Design at PolyU where he develops projects at Playlab, a commercially oriented digital entertainment laboratory he co-founded that focuses on meaningful games. His main area research interests involve the application of media technologies to cultivate creativity and promote consciousness. In this video, he talks about how most of us are in two different worlds at the same time- the physical world and the world of thoughts. Based on his extensive studies and research, Gino Yu explains how we can avoid unnecessary thoughts by just living in the present. He believes that joy is a natural state achieved by living every moment to the fullest. He shows real experiments and uses live activities to demonstrate the power of living in the present. He believes that if we follow our heart, we will always end up doing the right thing in life.
