“Knowing Your Place” is an extended special session at CGIE2006 focusing on experiential spatiality in games. It explores qualities of place in game-worlds and games as places in supporting community by responding to players’ phenomenological experience of space. It seeks to facilitate sharing research and exploring ideas, understandings, issues and challenges about “space as practice” and the experience of place in and around game-worlds.
“Knowing Your Place” will facilitate oral presentations and discussion of full and abstract papers and demos; including:
Theoretical approaches to conceptualising the experience of place in games and in physical worlds, player-experienced spatiality and games as places
Applying analytical techniques and methods to the empirical study of experiential spatiality in games
Case studies of the design, deployment and use of devices in games to support spatial behaviour, wayfinding, gameworld extension and computer-supported cooperative play (CSCP)
All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated for the author(s)’ original and relevant contribution and the paper’s value in creating a coherent, provocative and non-repetitive session. All submissions should be emailed to Nic Bidwell. Papers must be in PDF format and follow CGIE (2006) paper guidelines and ACM SIG style directions e.g. using: www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html)
All Submissions Now Extended to: 30 June 2006
Early Bird Registration Due: 31 July 2006
