GHItaly18

4th Workshop on Games-Human Interaction

Will be held online on July 12, 2021

In Conjunction with CHITALY 2021
Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter
Bozen-Bolzano (Italy), July 2021

Purpose

GHItaly21 will be the fourth edition of a series of workshops focused on the multifaceted issues related to the design and development of human-game interfaces.

GHItaly21 aims at establishing a common venue for scholars and industry practitioners, where they can exchange ideas on all the topic related to this multidisciplinary field, and possibly create new collaborations. The main goal of the event is to spur discussion on the development of new ways of researching, teaching, and working on HCI applied to design and production of video games. The application range of video games has to be intended in its broadest sense: from entertainment and to serious applied finalities (health, education, etc).
