PERCEPTION IN GAMES AND VIRTUAL WORLDS Workshop

The Norwegian Institute in Athens

Submission deadline for abstracts: August 1, 2022

This is apparent by the fact that they prominently rely on phenomenal spatial structures, but also by a variety of perceptual roles that enter into elements like storytelling, sound, kinesthetic feedback and immersive design.

How should we understand the character of perception in games and virtual environments?  While normal perception registers ordinary perceptual properties, players perceive objects and properties imposed by images, rules, symbols and ludic context. In the perception of virtual worlds, the user is not perceiving ordinary objects, but rather images and symbols designed to instill imagination and to convey semantic contents.… read more. “Call: Perception in Games and Virtual Worlds Workshop”
