conference

New York Times writer Steve Lohr writes about "Two New Ways to Explore the Virtual Universe in Vivid 3-D," featuring the World Wide Telescope that Curtis Wong will premier at HASTAC II, TechnoTravels, in Southern California, May 22-24.

I've posted information about the recent Games for Health conference, inluding a link to my pre-conference presentation slides, on the TechPsych blog.  My talk focused on game accessibility for games and applications in K-12 settings.  (The two pre-conference strands were Virtual Worlds and Game Accessibility.)

Participants will engage in a hands-on workshop May 27 – 30, 2008, with the goal of creating a scholarly project; they will then be free to use the IML labs with support staff during the summer to continue work on the project; and they will be invited to present their completed projects at a showcase event in August. Participants will receive an honorarium of $1,000 for their participation in the workshop.

I'm excited! Lulu, our Creative Commons publisher, has just delivered the first copies of "Electronic Techtonics: Thinking at the Interface," the Proceedings of the First International HASTAC Conference. You can download a PDF for free from Lulu or buy a printed copy (for $12.24) sent from directly to you by clicking here: http://www.lulu.com/content/2124631

On YouTube you can find two trailers that give you a taste of HASTAC's first international conference, "Electronic Techtonics: Thinking at the Interface," held at Duke last April. These trailers should also whet your appetite for the upcoming HASTAC movie--and an appetite for HASTAC II. The RFP came out today!

The Futuresonic international conference and the Social Technologies Summit invite proposals for talks, presentations, workshops and session themes. Submissions of innovative formats for social interaction are encouraged.
