Goethe researches primarily in Human-engaged computing (HEC), a new research area in Human–computer interaction concerning synergized interaction between humans and technologies where he focus on building engaging systems that support diversity and inclusion, longevity in user engagement and engagement at scale. He is currently writing a book entitled Gamification Mindset [12] which aims to develop new models in gamification to enable easier gamification scenarios.[13]

He recently announced a research project The Presence Project which is exploring how to build branching VR narratives which merge immersive theater pieces with interactive dramas. The preceding VR game, "One of the Family" developed by the original Presence group [14] at Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), positioned the player as an unseen observer to an unfolding narrative.
