Abstract:
Machinima is a computer imaging technology typically used in games and animation. It prints all movie cast properties into a virtual environment by means of a camera positioning. Since cinematography is complementary to Machinima, it is possible to simulate a director’s style via various camera placements in this environment. In a gaming application, the director’s style is one of the most impressive cinematic factors, where a whole different gaming experience can be obtained using different styles applied to the same scene. This paper describes a system capable of automatically profile a director’s style using fuzzy logic. We employed 19 output variables and 15 other calculated variables from the animation extraction data to profile two different directors’ styles from five scenes. Area plots and histograms were generated, and, by analyzing the histograms, different director’s styles could be subsequently classified.

Abstract:
Shakespeare’s plays have long flirted with using various artistic and medial forms other than theatre, such as cinema, music, visual arts, television, comics, animation and, lately, digital games and virtual worlds. Especially in the 20th and 21st century, a fascination with Shakespeare both as a historical and theatrical figure and as a playwright has become evident in screen based media (cinema, television and video), ranging from “faithful,” almost documented performances of his plays to free style adaptations or vague film references. Digital games and virtual worlds carry on this tradition of the transmedial journey of Shakespeare’s plays to screen based media but top it up with new forms of interaction and performativity. For the first time in the history of mankind everyone can enjoy firsthand from his armchair and for free the experience of taking part in a play by the Bard by entering a virtual world as if it was a stage and by assuming roles through avatars. The article attempts first to introduce the reader to the deeper needs that gave rise to animation, a fundamental aspect of digital gaming and virtual worlds. It then tries to illuminate the various facets of digital performance and gaming, especially in relation to Shakespeare-themed and inspired digital games and virtual worlds, by putting forward some axes of classification. Finally, it both suggests some ideas that may be of use in rendering the Shakespeare gaming experience more “complete” and “theatrical” and ends by acknowledging the immense potential for the exploration of theatricality and performativity in digital games and virtual worlds.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of new media, it has also promoted the transformation of animation expression. One is the change of publishing media, which makes the dissemination of online media work faster and more convenient; the other is the order of magnitude change and the diversity of publishing channels and communication. The choice has contributed to a geometric increase in the number of works published. According to the flow of the new media animation production process, design and establish the classroom situation of animation studios, introduce “work” into the classroom, integrate occupations into studies, highlight occupations in studies, and strengthen professional concepts in the courses, in the form of animation studios, combined with animation companies. The production process and assessment standards effectively organize students to actively master animation theory knowledge and production technology; these experiences can accumulate effective and valuable experience for students’ career development. This article mainly introduces the research on the innovative and entrepreneurial practice education model of animation digital media major based on intelligent information collection and intends to provide some ideas and directions for the innovation and entrepreneurship practice education model reform of animation digital media major. This article proposes a studio-based animation digital media professional innovation and entrepreneurship practice education model research methods, used for studio-based animation research and experiment on innovation and entrepreneurship practice education mode of digital media major. The experimental results of this paper show that the Cronbach’s α coefficients of the questionnaire are all greater than 0.8, indicating that the survey content of the questionnaire is more authentic and highly reliable.

Abstract:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educators have opted for online discussions and classes in which the teaching and learning sessions occur beyond the classroom environment. As various forms of technology such as gaming can be potentially used as platforms for online teaching and learning, the study aims to investigate the use of vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) in a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) among Malaysian English as a second language (ESL) players. Data were obtained via a 12-hour online game-play recorded sessions of Guild Wars 2 involving four Malaysian ESL players. The participants consisted of experienced online gamers aged between 24 and 25 years. The game-play sessions were also observed to provide supporting details on how the players utilised strategies when learning English vocabulary. The outcome of the study revealed that the ESL players employed different VLS during their game-play sessions. Gu and Johnson’s (1996) categorisation of VLS, which are metacognitive, cognitive, memory, and activation strategies, was subsequently modified to accommodate the MMORPG context. The results showed that the top five strategies used by the players were meaning-making, consultation, using online dictionary, word comparison, and incorporating words with real-world contexts.

Abstract:
This article discusses the features of the computer gaming jargon of the French youth. The main purpose of the study was a descriptive analysis of the features of French youth computer gaming jargon. The main task of the study was to classify computer gaming jargon by areas of use. Based on the materials of such sources as the dictionary "Vocabulary des techniques de l'information et de la communication (TIC)", the French-language Internet portal "Le Jargon Fran-çais" (the part that relates to computer and gaming jargon), as well as studies by French speaking authors (J.-M. Adam, I. Oseki-Dépré, A. Jeandidier, J. Lazar, etc.), the features of using computer gaming jargon were analyzed from the point of view of its classification by spheres. There was also an analysis of the formation of Internet slang which is widely used by French gamers and almost all young people who actively use computers. Special attention was paid to Anglicisms in the analyzed area, and it was concluded that the French computer gaming jargon actively bor-rows lexical units from the English language, either leaving them unchanged, or changing their spelling in accordance with the rules of the modern French language. A general conclusion was made: further systematic study of French youth computer gaming jargon will provide an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the language processes tak-ing place in the field of modern French from the point of view of its functioning within the Internet discourse and com-puter gaming jargon.

Abstract:
A number of references in the Human-Computer Interaction literature make the common-sense suggestion that the animated zooming effect accompanying the opening or closing of a folder in the Apple Macintosh graphical user interface aids in a user's perception of which window corresponds to which folder. We examine this claim empirically using two controlled experiments. Although we did not find a statistically significant overall difference resulting from the presence or absence of the zooming effect, a post hoc analysis revealed a highly significant interaction between the experience of users with the Macintosh user interface and the zooming effect. This individual difference suggests that users become attuned to the informational content of the zooming effect with experience.

Abstract:
Nonbinary game characters are often designed based on harmful stereotypes such asfollowing a strict androgynous aesthetic or as not being human. This thesis studies both howthese stereotypes are perceived by the represented gaming audience, and also if analternative method can be successful in nonbinary character design. Two sets of fournonbinary characters were created in which two characters were based on existingstereotypes, and two were inspired by nonbinary celebrities and members of a nonbinaryforum. The artefacts were included in a survey in which the participants chose the most andleast successful design, motivated their answers, and also discussed trends and stereotypesthey had noticed in nonbinary characters. Based on the performed research and the surveyresults, the suggested solution is to create more nonbinary characters, especially visiblyhuman ones.

AbstractThis chapter of Animating Unpredictable Effects studies how Hollywood became a producer of software and sponsor of R&D. Using archival research of publications and conference records, it charts the computer graphics research group ACM SIGGRAPH’s origins in the military-industrial-academic complex and notes the rise of a new research complex driven by media industries, with the Hollywood blockbuster playing a key role in driving investment. This chapter also studies how the economics of film industries were transformed by R&D using SEC financial filings from studios. This investigation of the economics of R&D helps explain the economic instability of the VFX industry, which has been a key topic of discussion since the closure of Rhythm and Hues and the rise of VFX worker movements.

Abstract:
It is known that human influential factors (HIFs, e.g., sense of presence/immersion; attention, stress, and engagement levels; fun factors) play a crucial role in the gamer’s perceived immersive media experience [1]. To this end, recent research has explored the use of affective brain-/body-computer interfaces to monitor such factors [2, 3]. Typically, studies have been conducted in laboratory settings and have relied on research-grade neurophysiological sensors. Transferring the obtained knowledge to everyday settings, however, is not straightforward, especially since it requires cumbersome and long preparation times (e.g., placing electroencephalography caps, gel, test impedances) which could be overwhelming for gamers. To overcome this limitation, we have recently developed an instrumented “plug-and-play” virtual reality head-mounted display (termed iHMD) [4] which directly embeds a number of dry ExG sensors (electroencephalography, EEG; electrocardiography, ECG; electromyography, EMG; and electrooculography, EoG) into the HMD. A portable bioamplifier is used to collect, stream, and/or store the biosignals in real-time. Moreover, a software suite has been developed to automatically measure signal quality [5], enhance the biosignals [6, 7, 8], infer breathing rate from the ECG [9], and extract relevant HIFs from the post-processed signals [3, 10, 11]. More recently, we have also developed companion software to allow for use and monitoring of the device at the gamer’s home with minimal experimental supervision, hence exploring its potential use truly “in the wild”. The iHMD, VR controllers, and a laptop, along with a copy of the Half-Life: Alyx videogame, were dropped off at the homes of 10 gamers who consented to participate in the study. All public health COVID-19 protocols were followed, including sanitizing the iHMD in a UV-C light chamber and with sanitizing wipes 48h prior to dropping the equipment off. Instructions on how to set up the equipment and the game, as well as a google form with a multi-part questionnaire [12] to be answered after the game were provided via videoconference. The researcher remained available remotely in case any participant questions arose, but otherwise, interventions were minimal. Participants were asked to play the game for around one hour and none of the participants reported cybersickness. This paper details the obtained results from this study and shows the potential of measuring HIFs from ExG signals collected “in the wild,” as well as their use in remote gaming experience monitoring. In particular, we will show the potential of measuring gamer engagement and sense of presence from the collected signals and their influence on overall experience. The next steps will be to use these signals and inferred HIFs to adjust the game in real-time, thus maximizing the experience for each individual gamer.References[1] Perkis, A., et al, 2020.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper studies continuous computational geometry of motions and develops a method for Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) of motion interpolants. The approach uses a mapping of spatial kinematics to convert the problem of interpolating displacements to point interpolation in the space of the mapping. To facilitate the point interpolation, the previously non-oriented mapping space is made orientable. Methods are then developed for designing spline curves in the mapping space with tangent, curvature and torsion continuities. The results have application in computer animation of three dimensional objects used in computer graphics, computer vision and simulation of mechanical systems.
