For the third time the Entertainment Interfaces track will take place together with the German HCI conference Mensch & Computer and the German Usability Professionals (UPA) track.

The track “Entertainment Interfaces” offers researchers, developers and designers a platform to present innovative ideas in the area of interactive entertainment with a focus on interaction in games and other entertainment products and to discuss design challenges and the evaluation of entertainment interfaces. The aims of the track are to strengthen the awareness of the relevance of user-friendly and innovative interfaces for entertainment applications in the research community and in the public, to encourage the research activities and the education in this field, and to foster the knowledge transfer between researchers and developers. We like to emphasize the interdisciplinary background of the “Entertainment Interfaces” track and welcome contributions from the areas of computer science, psychology, design and engineering sciences as well as contributions from developers and designers working in the field of interactive entertainment.

After a successful start of the Entertainment Interfaces track alongside the German HCI conference “Mensch & Computer” in Duisburg in 2010, we are happy to announce that the track will take place again in 2011 at the “Mensch & Computer” conference in Chemnitz, Germany.

The track Entertainment Interfaces offers researchers, developers and designers a platform to present innovative ideas in the area of interactive entertainment with a focus on interaction in games and other entertainment products and to discuss design challenges and the evaluation of entertainment interfaces. The aims of the track are to strengthen the awareness of the relevance of user-friendly and innovative interfaces for entertainment applications in the research community and in the public, to encourage the research activities and the education in this field, and to foster the knowledge transfer between researchers and developers. We like to emphasize the interdisciplinary background of the “Entertainment Interfaces” track and welcome contributions from the areas of computer science, psychology, design and engineering sciences as well as contributions from developers and designers working in the field of interactive entertainment.

Entertainment Interfaces Track in Duisburg, 12th & 14th September

Next week the Interaktive Kulturen conference will take place in Duisburg and feature the Entertainment Interfaces track. Together with Maic Masuch and Matthias Rauterberg I am organizing this track and want to provide some information about the contents.

On Sunday, the 12th of September the track kicks off with the workshops on “Using Game Design and Affective Evaluation to improve User Experience and User Research” and “Game Design und Game Development in der Hochschullehre”. For the followers of this blog the first workshop is of special interest because it will provide an overview of available methods and techniques of evaluating game design and foster a productive discussion on creating guidelines for studying users with affective evaluation methodologies. For more information about the workshops check out the workshop page of the Entertainment Interfaces track.

Tuesday will feature the Entertainment Interfaces keynote “Trajectories through Entertainment Experiences” by Steve Benford (University of Nottingham, UK) and the two sessions “Player Experience” and “Entertainment Interaction”. Much more sessions will be provided by the other three tracks of the conference (Mensch&Computer, DeLFI and UPA), so check out the full program. Hope to see you in Duisburg next week!
