 Erik's papers links virtual heritage blog Conf Dates Conf Deadlines ARCHIVES VR/VH centres academic vacancies | News Update (December 1)As google pages will soon cease to exist, I have created a new website/blog at http://erikchampion.wordpress.com/ so please go to that (I have a site redirect here but it does not seem to work).News update (from 28 November 2008)I have been invited to a panel in Cairns for OZCHI in December, and will present a paper at SIGGRAPH Asia in Singapore Dec 12. So I may not have time to update this site with new conference calls etc. In mid April 2009 it looks like I have been given an American-NZ grant to give a talk at IUPUI Indiana and at Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the grant is prestigious but not exactly lucrative so to help cover costs I am keen to present at other places as well!Also, I apologize for not updating this site; I did not expect it to be popular so the references are mostly for me. Google have forced my hand however, as this type of website is being phased out. Any suggestions for a new website or provider gratefully received. Finally, I am looking to supervise new post grad students in game design, interactive environments, and virtual heritage, so if you are interested, please email me (link above). Currently international post grads in NZ pay no more than about 2000 USD a year and we expect to have some scholarships/grants for some "special projects" (more about that later). News update (from 23 June 2008)What with a job, university and country change, I have not had time to update this (beta) website but hope to do so by August.Great Game and VE JournalsI have joined the editorial boards of these journals and also LEA, and I know they consider good submissions in the fields of games, virtual environments and multimedia so please have a look.
Conference calls I should be promoting
