“Designing Interactive Olfactory Experience in Real Context and Applications”
TEI 2019 Studio
Arizona State University, USA
Sunday March 17th, 2019
https://www.interactive-olfaction.com/

Deadline for one page abstracts: March 5th 2019

Dear all,

Are you interested in smell interactions? Would you like to explore how olfactory experience could be integrated in real context and applications? Join our studio on TEI 2019 “Designing Interactive Olfactory Experience in Real Context and Applications“.

We are calling up researchers/interaction designers who are interested in smell interactions, whose research/professional background is related but not limited to interaction design, service design, game design, interactive technology etc. The studio will address the design approach of integrating interactive olfactory experience with real contexts and applications by using toolkit, design prototyping & sketches, case studies.

STUDIO DATE: Sunday March 17th, 2019

STUDIO VENUE: AME FabLab, Arizona State University, USA

4th Games and Natural Language Processing Workshop (GAMNLP-19)
To be held at the 14th Foundations of Digital Games Conference (FDG-19)
August 26 or 27, 2019
San Luis Obispo, California, USA

Submission deadline: April 5, 2019

The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) ranges from theoretical studies (e.g., parsing algorithms, computational models of dialogue) to practical applications (e.g., information retrieval, conversational agents, machine translation). This workshop investigates computational and theoretical aspects of natural language research that would be beneficial for designing and building novel game experiences, or for processing texts to conduct formal game studies. NLP would benefit from games in obtaining language resources (e.g., construction of a thesaurus or a parser through a crowdsourcing game), or in learning the linguistic characteristics of game users as compared to those of other domains.

The workshop explores the overlap between the two fields and promotes interaction and collaboration among researchers and practitioners.… read more. “Call: 4th Games and Natural Language Processing Workshop (GAMNLP-19) at FDG 19”

Special Issue on “Culture Games”
ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage
https://jocch.acm.org/culturegame.cfm

Deadline: 15th December 2019

Industries, stakeholders, and the general public approach culture (both tangible and intangible) for a variety of purposes, and digital games can channel each of these purposes in different ways. In the context of a cultural experience, people may want to learn (with serious games) but also to have fun (with simple entertainment games), spend some spare time (with casual games), socialize (with social or multiplayer games), or create (with collaborative creation games). Similarly, cultural institutions wish not only to teach, but also to attract more visitors (promotional games or advergames). In the last decade, there have been substantial developments in the gaming technologies applied to cultural heritage purposes. Technologies like crowdsourcing and human computation have become more sophisticated. New game-oriented (but not only) media such as mixed-reality, virtual reality and natural interaction (e.g.… read more. “Call: “Culture Games” issue of ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage”
