Agree but one could even argue one wants eye-perspective as a special form of ego-centric.

Needed this platform to learn about our shared good taste hahaha

Checking the multiple IEEE reviewer guidelines it seems to be allowed. I think it is a bad idea that ACM banned this. I had cases of academic misconduct that became obvious because I had reviewed a submission twice.

DL just around the corner! Apply by May 15 if you're interested in advancing research on theory translation and games

Elisa Mekler @elisamekler.bsky.social · Mar 21

Is your PhD research on game design, game production, HCI, or design theory? I've got three 2-year postdoc positions in my ERC StG project to investigate what makes theory useful and usable in game design / interaction design.

Reposts much appreciated. Thx!

Can virtual tours replace travel? New research compared real-time and narrated virtual tourism experiences, finding narratives increased presence while live streaming enhanced place attachment and flexibility (preprint).
