ICST's flagship conference in interactive entertainment continues in the Netherlands

March 25, 2008

The ICST sponsored Second International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment (InteTain 2008) was held on January 8-10, 2008 in Playa de Carmen, Cancun, Mexico. The conference focused on the development of novel user-centered intelligent computational technologies and interactive applications for entertainment, being made possible through the use of a wide range of interactive device technologies (e.g., mobile and wearable devices, home entertainment centers, wall screen displays, information kiosks, holographic displays, fog screens, distributed smart sensors, and immersive displays) and media delivery infrastructures (e.g., multimedia networks, interactive radio, streaming technologies, DVB-T/M, ITV, P2P, satellite broadcasting, UMTS, Bluetooth, Broadband, and VoIP).

The next edition of the conference will be organized in the Netherlands under the general chairmanship of Dr. Anton NIJHOLT, who is presently working as full professor of computer science at the University of Twente. INTETAIN 2009 is planned to be organized in parallel with one of ICST's Business-Industry-Technology Meetings (BITMEETS), a business-to-business symposium bringing together companies and regulatory bodies in the areas of intelligent technologies for interactive entertainment. As part of this initiative, the technical conference will be accompanied by an exhibit and trade show providing an opportunity for private enterprises to showcase their products and services.
