GLS Conference

VR, AR, Mobile Devices, Watches... new platforms are everywhere, and games are flowing across them. Devices, platforms, and contexts are changing. What new forms of interaction are emerging on these platforms? How are developers, artists, and creatives leveraging these new affordances for creative, emotional, or social impact? What do these innovations mean for the future of games?

Just as the form of XR media is emerging, the institutional contexts for their development are as well. How are innovative XR applications developed in academics, industry, and emerging hybrid contexts? What are the opportunities and challenges for pulling together innovative experiences in hybrid spaces? What have we learned about best design practices?

This session pulls together creative innovators who work across academics, industry, and non-profits to develop innovative experiences. Participants will share their creative work, lessons learned from it, and insights from developing products across various contexts and for diverse audiences in different contexts.
