Gesture, Play and Technology Symposium
Monday, 17th May 2010
9.30am – 5.30pm
UWE Digital Cultures Research Centre @ Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol, UK
The Play Research Group at the University of the West of England invites you to participate in a day of presentations and discussions.
The body has of course always been central to our playful engagements with games and games technologies. Yet, the embodied player and theories of embodied perception have often been overlooked in the study and analysis of games and their players. Exceptionally, research around bemani games the Eyetoy have challenged this marginality.
Now, however, the Nintendo Wii and the much-trailed Microsoft Project Natal have put the player’s body and player gesture at the heart of gaming technology and the idealised player experience. Taking the ‘Your Body as Controller’ paradigm as our point of departure presenters at this event will consider the challenges and opportunities afforded by this potential shift in perspective.
Some of the questions to be considered will be:
- What kinds of techniques and technicities are facilitated through gesture-based gameplay and how should these be recorded, studied and theorised?
- How might theories of embodied perception shed new light on the relationship between virtual and material play?
- What further theoretical and conceptual innovations are possible/necessary/urgently required?
- Do cybernetics, haptics and kinaesthetics take a more central role in the field?
- What insights are afforded by raiding across the disciplinary borders of STS & HCI?
- What is the relationship between these forms of gameplay and other embodied engagements with media and media technologies?
