Call for participation.
Submissions for posters are invited, addressing any area of purposeful/applied/serious games, including those identified in the workshop topic. Practitioners, students, and researchers are encouraged to submit posters as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. The topic of the poster may be aligned to the focus of the workshop.
Submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following types of work:
-
Conceptual work - Novel concepts in interaction with the games as well as novel concepts for player motivation with appropriate justification of how these concepts can be implemented in purpose-driven game environments.
-
Case studies / novel ways of balancing purpose orientations and fun in game design
-
Descriptions of new methods, processes, techniques, or tools for use in purposeful game system design, development or deployment.
-
Reflections from practice and their significance, including lessons learned or principles derived from real-word experiences.
-
