FuturePlay 2006: The International Academic Conference on the Future of Game Design and Technology
October 10-12, 2006,
The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
Scope of the Conference
The FuturePlay conference focuses on three main themes. The first theme, future game development, addresses academic research and emerging industry trends in the area of game technology and game design. The second theme, future game impacts and applications, includes academic research and emerging industry trends focused on designing games for learning, for gender, for serious purposes, and to impact society.
Finally, the third theme, future game talent, is designed to provide a number of industry and academic perspectives on the knowledge, skills, and attitude it takes to excel in the games industry.
Future Play addresses these issues through exciting and thought-provoking keynotes from leaders in academia and industry, peer-reviewed paper sessions, panel sessions (including academic and industry discussions), workshops (including design, technology, and career workshops), and exhibitions of posters, games, and the latest game technologies and supports from industry-leading vendors. Continuing with the tradition established by CGT and improved upon by last year’s conference, the highlight of the games exhibition is a peer-reviewed competition of games in three categories: Future (experimental) Games, Serious Games, and Student Games.
