We are looking for researchers and designers who want to work on game streaming to join our workshop at FDG. Our goals are to increase awareness of livestreaming within the FDG community, to start a discussion about research and design opportunities in the game streaming context, and to generate new questions about research relating to Twitch. During the workshop, we will be doing collaborative exercises to help you to connect your existing research interests and expertise to Twitch, and to generate new game and/or interface design proposals around livestreaming experiences.

You do not need to be a Twitch expert to join this workshop. We are looking for people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. If your research questions might be of interest in a game streaming environment, or you would like to design new experiences for livestreaming, this workshop is for you.

Abstracts should clearly articulate the prior expertise you will bring to this workshop. You may frame the abstract as an articulation of the research questions you would like to explore, as a summary of the game and/or interaction design space you are most interested in, or as a vision statement of potential futures for game streaming.

Submissions should be 2-3 pages and sent to rbreejon@gmail.com by midnight on Wednesday, June 6th.
