Playful methods. Serious results.
Theme: PLAY TO PERFORM
Chicago, Illinois
November 6-9
https://nasaga.org/2019/

Submission deadline: June 30, 2019

NASAGA has been around since 1962 and each year, the annual conference offers a grand time of learning, gaming, and networking. Whether it is the seriousness of serious play, or the epiphanies of short jolts, or the excitement of complex simulations, NASAGA has always been about applying games and simulations in business, schools, and non-profits. It’s all about application!

This year’s theme is: PLAY TO PERFORM: Using Games, Simulations, and other Activities to Improve Performance.

With three planned pre-conference sessions held on November 6, three thematic tracks for attendee learning, and three certification opportunities, this year’s conference promises to be among the best of the best!

Our Conference begins with three pre-conference sessions.… read more. “Call: North American Simulation And Gaming Association (NASAGA) 2019 Conference”

Study about adult media and sexual health for VR users

Hello!

I am a graduate student at Michigan State University conducting research on attitudes about adult media (pornography) and sexual health for virtual reality users. If you are 18 years old, have consumed adult media through a virtual reality format – in the past six months, and feel comfortable answering questions about adult media use, would you please consider completing our study?

If you agree to participate in the research, you will be asked to answer some survey questions and watch an adult media video. The entire study should take approximately 20 minutes to complete (~10 survey questions, ~10 watching the video). There are no direct benefits for your participation in this study, although the information you provide will be used to assist in identifying factors related to adult sexual health and sexual satisfaction.… read more. “Call: Participation in study about adult media and sexual health for VR users”

Workshop on Designing Serious Location-based Augmented Reality Games
Held as part of the IFIP International Conference on Entertainment Computing & Joint Conference on Serious Games (ICEC-JCSG 2019, http://ucsp.edu.pe/icec-jcsg-2019)
Arequipa, Perú
November 11-15th 2019

Paper submission deadline: July 1, 2019

1 INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the popularity of location-based Augmented Reality (AR) games has increased significantly. For example, 2013 Ingress generated a hype that was surpassed by 2016 Pokémon GO with an even larger player base. From a didactical perspective, location-based AR games, which encompass Ingress and Pokémon GO, have a number of characteristics that make their use as learning tools very appealing: location-based AR games guide learners to real objects on location and supplement these objects with information to be learned. One of the principles supported is the contiguity principle: learning effects are reinforced by the temporal and/or spatial combination of object and information.… read more. “Call: Designing Serious Location-based Augmented Reality Games – ICEC-JCSG 2019 Workshop”
