THEME

Human-Computer Interaction for Entertainment

HCI studies aim to plan, design and implement new forms of interaction between people and computers. As HCI involves machines and humans both computer sciences (computer graphics, operating systems, programming languages, etc.) and social sciences (human factors, cognitive psychology, ergonomics, etc.) are relevant. Moreover, when these disciplines are considered together to foster the development of (digital) entertainment contents, new attractive challenges need to be faced by researchers and practitioners. New intriguing research areas can arise from the application of new interaction paradigms to the entertainment industry. As a matter of example, touch and multi-touch interfaces can be considered. They have really shacked up the way people interact with mobile devices, thus also changing the concept of entertainment for this type of devices.

The 7th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment (INTETAIN 2015) will address all the issues concerning relationships between human-computer interaction and entertainment. The objective of the conference is to attract high state-of-art contributions that address the broad challenges faced in using innovative and interactive technologies/tools in order to create entertainment contents. The goal is to explore and discuss innovative studies, technologies and applications aimed to propose new interface paradigms.

In addition to the traditional submission categories, the conference welcomes research in progress, case studies, practical demonstrations and workshops. Original contributions describing unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, conference, special issue, etc. are solicited. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality, significance and quality of contribution.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Animation and Virtual Characters (virtual puppetry)
- Multimodal, affective, brain, holographic, adaptive, vocal, tangible, haptic and gestural interfaces
- Human-music interaction
- Intelligent, interactive and emerging games
- Entertainment and education (edutainment)
- Technologies for interactive: TV, Social Networks, Story Telling, Cinema, Art, etc.
- Collaborative virtual, augmented and mixed environments
- Interface design and assessment
- Entertainment and mobile devices

- Highlights

The conference will feature a Special Session on "Sensors for Entertainment", which will aim at attracting research works addressing the broad challenges that are faced in the development of sensor-based solutions in the field of entertainment. Proposals for other Special Sessions are welcome (see below).
