Dear list members,
As part of the AfriCHI2018 conference to be held in December, we are
running a playful design workshop. Playful interactive game systems are
seen as a new and exciting way to enhance social interactions. In this
workshop, we focus on the methods, tools, and mediums involved when
designing games that encourage prosocial behavior between strangers. We
invite the games research community to critically reflect on the
complexities of creating such systems for co-located people. Furthermore,
we also invite proposals that illuminate how differences in culture, age,
gender, and context may affect the design of playful prosocial artifacts.
We invite academics, artists, designers, and developers and other
practitioners of HCI to participate in the workshop by submitting a
two-page ACM Extended Abstract
<https://chi2018.acm.org/chi-proceedings-format/>format position
paper stating their expression of interest. After being notified of
acceptance, workshop participants will be given instructions to register
for the workshop on the main AfriChi2018 website
<http://africhi.net/workshop-descriptions/>. All submissions and queries
should be sent to [log in to unmask]
