Transactions on Games

https://transactions.games/special-issue/special-issue-on-gaming-applications-
for-cultural-heritage


Important Dates

   Paper submission: June 28th, 2024
   First decisions: September 27th, 2024
   Early access SI publication (online): December 2024
   Publication in print: Mid 2025

Topics

This special issue is focused on interactive experiences and gaming
topics, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of developing useful
CH games or gamified experiences to attract collaborations between
researchers in the humanities, industrial companies and institutions
interested in CH products, gameplay researchers and experts in
technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction
and eXtended Reality. Contributions focused on game mechanics applied to
cultural content, the application of innovative technologies to support
game designers exploiting hardware capabilities (e.g., computational
resources, tracking, sensors) of mobile, virtual reality (VR), augmented
reality (AR) devices and IoT paradigms are of particular interest for
this Special Issue as well as contributions related to co-design
experiences and methods, and end-user tools that aim at democratising
and making gaming design processes more diverse.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

   Game mechanics and gamification for Cultural Heritage
   Cultural Industries and Digital Games
   Digital Games for Cultural promotion and education
   IoT technologies for tangible interaction in Cultural contexts
   Cultural gaming applications exploiting the IoT paradigm
   Serious games for edutainment in Cultural Heritage
   Tools, design methods and artefacts to (co)develop interactive
    applications for CH
   End-user tools to engage non-technical stakeholders in the ideation
    and design of CH games or gamified experiences
   Interactive Cultural exhibitions and experiences through VR/AR/XR
   Mobile devices and game design for Cultural Heritage
   Cultural participation, Virtual Worlds and Metaverse
   Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Storytelling for Art and
    Cultural Heritage
   Affective evaluation and Behavior Analysis in Cultural experiences

We invite the submission of high-quality papers on the topics above in
the following formats:

   /Research papers:/ analytical papers of new research concerning the
    use of specific technologies, design and development tools or
    evaluation frameworks;
   /Case studies:/ real-world applications, evaluation of industrial
    solutions, and lessons learned in putting solutions into practice;
   /Surveys and tutorials: /analysis of the state of the art.

Authors should follow IEEE Transactions on Games guidelines for their
submissions and clearly identify their papers for this special issue
during submission. Papers must present original, previously unpublished
work and will be subject to the standards and peer-review process of the
journal. Scientific and technological content in line with the journal
is expected. See
(https://www.transactions.games/submit/submission-guidelines) for author
information guidelines and page length limits.
