Research Talks
For the first time this year, the Sammy Showcase will host a track of presentations about games research from professors and graduate students across campus, covering topics as diverse as Japanese boardgames of the 1980s, deep learning for play recognition, tutorial design, generative art, and digital augmentation for analog play. The research presentation track is free, open to the public, and co-located with the main game exhibit of the Sammy Showcase.
The talks will be in room 2155, and will also be streamed on youtube.com/playableUCSC at 1:20-6pm PST with 30-minute breaks at 2:30 and 4:30.
See the research talk descriptions page for more info about each one.
Research Presentations Program Chair: Melanie Dickinson
Some graduate student researchers—including some of the speakers above (Jordan Magnuson and Max Kreminiski)—will also be exhibiting research projects in the exhibit. See the complete list of those projects at sammys.ucsc.edu/games#research-games.
There will also be senior game presentations at 1:00-4:30pm in room 2165 (the room next door to the research presentations) and on twitch.com/ucscgpm.
