VS-Games 2013, the fifth outing of the International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications will be hosted at Bournemouth University, UK between the 11th and the 13th of September 2013.
As mentioned in a previous blog post here, BU has been the main financial sponsor of the conference, so all BU members of staff and research students are invited to attend VS Games 13 free of charge (you will need to display your staff card at the registration desk).
There are three keynotes to the conference, Professor Adrian Cheok’s (Keio University) “”Multisensory Feeling Communication in the Hyperconnected Era”, Professor Anthony Steed’s (UCL) “What Will Virtual Reality Do For Games?” and Dr Chris Peters’ “”Computational Modelling of Artificial Behaviour: A Perceptual Approach”.
A full programme and more details can be found on the official conference website at http://www.vsgames2013.org/. We hope to do live tweeting from the conference at https://twitter.com/vsgames2013.
