DESCRIPTION

Today’s Virtual Environments (VEs) exhibit impressive functional aspects for various application areas and many provide a vivid and engaging interaction and an increased output fidelity. Still, some of the potential future directions of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) require an increased incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). When the focus is on natural, context-sensitive, and computer-assisted forms of interaction, as well as on adaptive and personalized interfaces, scientific knowledge about Intelligent and Augmented Virtual Environments (IVAE) is needed by both the research community and the industry.… read more. “Call: IVAE 2016 – 1st Workshop on Intelligent Virtual and Augmented Environments”

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Journal of the Philosophy of Games (JPG) welcomes papers for the inaugural issue. JPG is an open-access publication hosted by the University of Oslo, Norway.

JPG aims to explore philosophical issues raised by the study of games, with a particular emphasis on computer games. We invite contributions both from traditional philosophers and from scholars in other disciplines.

Articles are subject to double blind review and evaluated on the basis of originality, philosophical argumentation and mastery of relevant literature.

The journal does not accept submissions that are under consideration for other publications.

Examples of issues for which we invite submissions are definitions of key concepts in the study of games, the ontological status of objects and events in games, the nature and role of mental attitudes central to game play, rules, the player-avatar relationship, the moral evaluation of in-game actions or the societal role of games.… read more. “Call: Journal of the Philosophy of Games (JPG)”
