Morality Play
The Design of Games for Moral Engagement
Workshop at DiGRA 2017
Melbourne, Australia
July 3 2017
http://digra2017.com/workshops/

Paper submission deadline: Thursday April 13, 2017

After the success of the Morality Play workshop in 2016, we would like to announce a follow-up workshop for the 2017 Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) conference (http://digra2017.com).

Questions of morality are a pervasive topic for media and the arts. Across every medium we see artists engaging audiences with challenging moral questions concerning topics such as war, crime, corruption, fidelity and the abuse of power. Questions of morality have long been central to how we understand ourselves, our lives, and our cultural contexts; and in turn our art forms have reflected, embodied, and challenged beliefs about right and wrong.

Games, however, seem to have long existed in a moral vacuum.… read more. “Call: Morality Play – The Design of Games for Moral Engagement (DiGRA 2017 Workshop)”

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and mobile HCI to explore issues of mutual interest and act as a bridge between the two communities.

The development of robots capable of interacting with humans has made tremendous progress in the last decade, leading to an expectation that in the near future, robots will be increasingly deployed in public spaces. In these settings, robots must often deal with situations that require socially appropriate human-robot interactions of a specific nature: interactions that are short and dynamic, and where the robot has to be able to deal with multiple persons at once.… read more. “Call: 4th Workshop on Public Space Human-Robot Interaction (PubRob 2017 at MobileHCI 2017)”

Moving Images – Static Spaces? ……….. The blurring of
Architectures, Film, Animation, Digital Art, Coding and Design

Dates: 12-13 April 2018
Place: Istanbul, Turkey

Abstract deadline: 15 December 2017

The relationship between architecture, urban environments and the moving image is deep rooted. It is also mutating. Born in the City Symphony films of the early 20th it was premised on the dynamic and mobile representation of buildings, streets and cities. Today, however, moving imagery and architecture coexist in multiple other worlds too: virtual reality spaces explored through headsets and haptic sensors; the animated environments of Second Life; the projection mapping of buildings in physical space; the fantastical settings of the gaming industry; fly-through representations of architectural projects; and the real-time algorithmic formation of parametric architecture on a computer screen.… read more. “Call: Moving Images – Static Spaces?

ABSTRACT

Gamification is now a well-established technique in HCI and games research, it is a way of embedding design elements taken from games within “serious” contexts, with the intention of driving people’s motivation to engage with products and services. Gamification has already been employed in fields as diverse as Human Resource Management, fitness tracking, mental health and wellbeing interventions and higher education. Scholarship in HCI on gamification has largely been able to design gamified products and services and evaluate their effectiveness and usefulness.… read more. “Call: Strengthening gamification studies – Special issue of International Journal of Human-Computer Studies”
