It is our pleasure to welcome you to Intetain 2011, the 4th International ICST Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment. The conference, scheduled every 2 years, was initiated in 2005 in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, targeting to provide a unique international forum for researchers in the field of interaction technologies, with a special focus on entertaiment. For the 4th edition of the conference, Intetain is coming back to Italy, in Genova, a nice city rich of historic heritage, monuments and naturalistic attractions in the Mediterranean Riviera and inland.
The conference aims enhancing the understanding of recent and anticipated advances in interactive technologies, and their applications to entertainment, education, culture, and the arts. Interaction technologies are having relevant changes in the last years, and will influence the way users consume and interact with the media and applications, both locally and over the Internet. The explosion of natural, multimodal, and touch based interfaces, and their access to the general public, has made new interaction paradigms a reality.
Technical sessions will focus on the different aspects of interaction, and will include the presentation of research works on virtual/mixed/augmented reality, hardware technologies for interaction and entertainment, devices, animation and virtual characters, non-verbal full body interaction, storytelling, affective user interfaces, social interaction and children interaction (with the special “Children’s Corner” demo session).
