About This Event
After the resounding success of last four years , we introduce CGAT 2012. This international academic conference was inaugurated by the Minister for Education and Finance of Singapore, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam in 2008 and attended by academics and industry experts from 18 different countries.
The evidently expanding Asian Gaming industry defines the need for the International Conference on Computer Games, Multimedia and Allied Technology in Singapore. The conference provides a platform for the international gaming community experts to discuss and deliberate with their Eastern counterparts on the state-of-the-art, new research results, perspectives of future developments, and innovative applications relevant to games development and related areas. The conference shall strive to shed light on the inherent sociological and design differences between the East and the West while exploring the challenges faced by the Asian Gaming industry. The conference also provides an opportunity to the international and regional gaming studios, game production companies and allied technology and service providers to showcase their technology, products and services at the concurrent industry symposium. This international platform has been positioned to synergise both the academic world and industry.
The conference mantles diverse tracks with stimulating technical sessions covering the conference theme of:Animation, AI, Multimedia, IPTV, Edutainment, Mobile, Virtual Reality.
The conference program offers insightful plenary and keynote addresses, stimulating technical sessions, seminars and panel discussions, poster sessions and multiple social and networking opportunities.
