Transmedial Interactions and Digital Games, held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology on June 12th in Salzburg, Austria, has called for participation. This workshop explores the state of the art of transmedial interaction, a new category of interaction design, in games. It provides a participatory environment in which attendees can chart new paths forward, from developing viable business models and understanding the technical infrastructure to developing critical vocabularies and evaluative frameworks. The call encourages participation from diverse academic disciplines including design, HCI, computer science,, media and game studies, strategic communications, and psychology, as well as industry experts and practitioners, for a total of 15-20 people. Submissions, due March 30, 2007, will be selected based on 2-4 page position papers that address workshop goals.
