The Centre for Pervasive Sensing is established to bring together researchers within Imperial College to identify needs and develop novel platform technologies in pervasive sensing. At this fourth workshop of the Centre, we will be highlighting the potential applications of pervasive sensing technology in games. The workshop will be organised with invited talks from leaders from gaming industries and academia follow by demonstrations and poster presentations from companies and research institutions. This workshop will provide a great opportunity to discuss research ideas and explore the great potential in these fields.
To register for this event, or for more information regarding holding a demonstration or presenting a poster, please email: cps-games@doc.ic.ac.uk
