We are delighted to announce a special track on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment at the upcoming ArtsIT2025 international conference, and invite researchers, practitioners, and innovators to contribute cutting-edge research and novel applications to this vibrant field building on prior work by the community – see https://intetain.eai-conferences.org.

This special track will explore how modern technologies, inspired by game science, are revolutionizing how humanity interacts with reality. The focus will be on innovative methods, systems, and devices that enhance intelligent human interaction and the entertainment experience. Texts stimulating and disseminating innovative research ideas, emerging technologies, empirical investigations, state-of-the-art methods and tools in all aspects of digital entertainment, new media, entertainment computing, gaming, robotics, toys and applications among researchers, engineers, social scientists, artists and practitioners are welcome. Theoretical, technical, empirical, survey articles and case studies are all appropriate.

This special track offers a unique opportunity to showcase your work to a diverse, interdisciplinary audience and engage in stimulating discussions about the future of interactive entertainment. Selected papers will contribute to advancing the field, exploring new directions, and shaping the future of intelligent technologies for entertainment and interaction.

We look forward to your contributions!

Prof. Anthony L. Brooks

Emeritus Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark

Dr. Anthony (aka Tony) Brooks is acknowledged and celebrated as an eminent and renowned Emeritus Professor of Aalborg University, Denmark, with his research resulting in national and international awards of significance; national and international multi-million Euros funded projects, and his being conferred fellow of international societies for his global contributions (e.g., ICAT; EAI). His focus is on researching ways of achieving human afferent efferent neural feedback loop closure vis participants’ creative self-expression from within Brooks’ optimised adaptive technical sensing system(s).  The research is applied across ranges of participants across diagnosis/dysfunction, age (young/old), and situation. Interested in the effects of interpersonal multisensory stimulation (IMS) on the mental representation of the self beyond solely visual (multimedia mirroring) and investigating how alternative channels of selectable stimuli and interfaces impact residual damaged sensing in (re)habilitation. Brooks is famously acknowledged as coining/branding “Virtual Interactive Space”;”Aesthetic Resonance”; “ArtAbilitation”; “GameAbilitation”; “AquAbilitation”; “SoundScapes”; and “TeleAbilitation”… alongside being recognized as a first pioneer investigating self-created gesture-based invisible sensing apparatus mapped to interactive computer feedback in the form of selectable digital content i.e., music, sounds/effects, visuals, audiovisuals, robotic devices, video games, virtual reality, and more, applied within healthcare (re)habilitation and well-being research.
