Workshop in Berlin, May 10-11, 2024, Regenbogenfabrik, Kreuzberg
How should we understand the character of perception in games and virtual environments? While normal perception registers ordinary perceptual properties, players perceive objects and properties imposed by images, rules, symbols and ludic context. In the perception of virtual worlds, the user is not perceiving ordinary objects, but rather images and symbols designed to instill imagination and to convey semantic contents. In traditional games the players perceive objects and properties determined by rules and play.
The aim of this workshop is to discuss questions that pertain to perceptual content and its relationship with player action. In this website you will find the program ( frequent changes to be expected as we approach the the workshop) and abstracts for the presentations.
