'Future and reality of gaming', Vienna, Austria
24 September 2010 - 24 September 2010
Austria
The Fourth Vienna Games Conference on the topic of 'Future and reality of gaming' will take place in Vienna, Austria from 24 to 26 September 2010.
Vienna's annual games conference is an open and international platform for stakeholders from around the world. The main objective of this year's edition is to explore the relations between gaming, society and culture and to discuss insights into how to think ahead and beyond common limits of theory and practice of game and play.
In its early stages, the digital form of play was restricted to a specific circle of gamers. Today, people of all ages and personal circumstances are playing computer games in almost every part of the public. It is possible to play on computers, dedicated game systems, mobile phones or handhelds, all mediums which cross the dividing lines between different territories in modern culture. The relation between play, society and culture is changing. This brings not only new opportunities and possibilities but also questions, challenges and problems.
The workshop is jointly organised by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economy, Family and Youth, the City of Vienna, wienXtra, the University of Vienna and the Danube-University KremsFor further information, please visit:
