CHI PLAY 2024 | Tampereen korkeakouluyhteisö

The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play (CHI PLAY) stands as a prestigious international and interdisciplinary conference under the auspices of ACM SIGCHI. It serves as a vibrant nexus for researchers and professionals spanning the diverse realms of play, games, and human-computer interaction (HCI).

At the heart of CHI PLAY is its commitment to showcasing and encouraging dialogue on cutting-edge research in games and HCI, laying the groundwork for the evolution of digital play. The conference achieves this by offering a variety of streams that seamlessly integrate academic research papers, practical masterclasses, interactive play demonstrations, a student game design competition, an engaging poster session, and valuable industry insights.

The genesis of CHI PLAY can be traced back to a burgeoning interest in games and play, which initially found recognition within the ACM’s annual conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI). This growing field was further nurtured by smaller, dedicated conferences such as Fun and Games and Gamification, culminating in the establishment of CHI PLAY. The conference is proudly sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group for Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI).

Participants can expect their contributions to gain significant visibility, as all accepted submissions are featured in the CHI PLAY Conference Proceedings. These proceedings are accessible through the ACM Digital Library, ensuring that the conference’s intellectual output reaches thousands of researchers and practitioners globally.
