CHI PLAY is the international and interdisciplinary conference, sponsored
by ACM SIGCHI, for researchers and professionals across all areas of play,
games, and human-computer interaction (HCI). We call this area
?player-computer interaction?. The goal of the CHI PLAY conference is to
highlight and foster discussion on high-quality (full paper acceptance rate
has been consistently <30%) research in games and HCI, as a foundation for
the future of digital play. To this end, the conference blends academic
research papers, interactive play demos, and industry insights. CHI PLAY
2018 is being held as part of Melbourne International Games Week with games
events throughout the city, including PAX Australia (the only Penny Arcade
Expo outside the USA) a gaming culture festival drawing tens of thousands
of gamers to Melbourne each year. *** SUBMISSIONS *** As a SIGCHI-sponsored
conference, CHI PLAY welcomes contributions that further an understanding
of the player experience, as well as contributions on novel designs or
implementations of player-computer interactions, including, but not limited
to, the following: + Playful interactions and new game mechanics +
Innovative implementation techniques that affect player experiences +
Studies of applied games and player experiences (e.g., games and play for
health, wellbeing, and learning) + Accessible and inclusive design and play
experience + Advances in game user research and game evaluation methods +
Psychology of players and typologies of games and players + Gamification,
persuasive games, and motivational game design + Virtual and augmented
reality in games and play + Novel controls or display technologies for
games and play + Tools for game creation + Innovations to advance the work
of game designers and developers + Game analytics and novel visualizations
of player experiences + Developer experiences and studies of developers +
Industry case studies Although CHI PLAY welcomes contributions on the
effects of various technologies, software, or algorithms on player
experience, technical contributions without clear indications of the impact
on players or developers are not within the scope of CHI PLAY. The
conference invites submissions including interactive demos,
work-in-progress papers and spotlight papers. Additionally, students are
invited to submit to the student game competition and the doctoral
consortium. * Submission deadlines * July 13, 2018: Spotlight Papers,
Doctoral Consortium, Student Game Competition, * Interactivity and
Works-in-Progress For further details please see the website:
