Introduction

The computer game and interactive entertainment industry is now a multi-billion industry driving new computer technologies and defining a new set of cultural conventions. The lack of game-specific academic conferences has prevented many academics from fully embracing game development as a serious field of study. As a result, although current research in games and interactive entertainment is published in a wide range of specialised conferences/journals, there is limited collaboration between researchers from different academic fields.

The Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment is a cross-disciplinary conference that will bring together researchers from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, media studies, drama, HCI, psychology, interactive media, cultural studies, graphics, audio, as well as researchers from other disciplines working on new game specific technologies or providing critical analysis of games and interactive environments.

The conference will accept different submission types that present new scientific ideas, improvements to existing techniques or provide a new ways of examining, designing and using computer games.

Topics of interest

The papers should include original and unpublished contributions. Suggested research topic included, but are not limited to:

  • Artificial Intelligence (pathfinding, learning, agents, ...)
  • Advanced/Innovative Interaction Design
  • Ambient Intelligence for Entertainment
  • Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality
  • Art, Design and Media
  • Cultural and Media Studies on Computer Games
  • Education, Training, and Edutainment Technologies
  • Graphics/Animation Techniques
  • Human Factors of Games
