To highlight these largely unsung benefits, gaming PC maker HP Omen and creative agency Wieden Kennedy Shanghai created a demonstration using a tool called The Gamewaves Scanner at ChinaJoy, China's largest digital entertainment expo. The exhibit used cutting-edge technology to measure brain activity in real time, showcasing how people respond to moments that require teamwork, responsiveness, mental stamina, focus and memory. The experience was titled Achieving Gamefulness, and it was the start of an integrated campaign set to launch across China. To synthesize their findings for a wider audience, HP Omen and W K Shanghai created a trio of 30-second shorts: "Achieve Mental Stamina," "Achieve Teamwork" and "Achieve Focus." The arc features a troop of gamers being led by supreme humans called The Masters as they hope to achieve the highest level of enlightenment.
