The IEEE CTSoc International Conference on Gaming, Entertainment & Media (GEM) is for researchers and practitioners in all forms of games, entertainment, and media. Our goal is to consider the social, political, cultural, and philosophical impacts of applying these technologies for the betterment of humanity.

GEM encompasses all aspects of interactive digital media including digital games, game design, new enabling technologies, interactive entertainment, advanced consumer technology systems, immersive experiences, robotics, novel sensing technologies such as motion capture, haptics, emerging media, and arts technologies.

GEM is for researchers and practitioners that seek to integrate technology with art, media and entertainment. Participants are in HCI, Digital Arts, Creative Arts, Humanities, Journalism, Robotics, Cybernetics, Cyberpsychology, AI, VFX and other disciplines. They are united in their interest and enthusiasm for exploring GEM’s areas of interest and the significant uses and impacts these technologies have on our lives. The conference will provide networking opportunities for participants to share research, ideas, designs, advancements and experiences on the state-of-the-art and future direction of consumer technologies related to GEM. GEM 2022 will feature a comprehensive high-quality technical & experiential program dealing with a mix of traditional and contemporary hot topics in paper presentations (lecture and interactive style - as preferred by the presenter), tutorials, workshops, mixed panels and high-profile keynotes.
