Fact Liverpool has a workshop next week looking at the Future of Gaming which hopes to answer the questions of “Where is the gaming industry headed and what are the possibilities for games to be applied and utilised in ways unimagined?”
nOpen Playground – the name of the session sets the scene for the future of new media and gaming, starting with the next 3-5 years. Inspired by three sets of provocations delivered by leading figures in the Gaming and New Media sectors, participants will be inspired to take an imaginative journey to a near future, desired futures, future visions, new forms of technologies, as well as the status quo, including the barriers participants face in achieving expectations and implementing envisaged technologies.
n nSponsored by the European Commision, this important one day new media & gaming workshop, organised by the CRe-AM Initiative, will bring together individual creators, professionals, SMEs, creative groups, communities, institutions and ICT creators in the gaming & new media sectors to support knowledge exchange for effective collaboration, and to empower participants to identify emerging visions and build a dynamic roadmap for the future development of their sectors. All contributors will be invited to join CRe-AM as key stakeholders and will be benefiters of the project.
nThe speakers will be;
Dr Mark Wright, LJMU, Cloudmaker – Co-creation in the social gaming space: Can we create a collaborative tool for young people that crosses the digital-physical divide?
Enda Carey, CEO Fisano – Inter-gaming consultancy service: Why are we great at making things but not selling them?
