Replaying Japan 2021 will be held online in August 9-13, 2021. This year’s conference theme will be Artificial Intelligence in Japanese Game Culture.

While proposals that address artificial intelligence in Japanese game culture are encouraged, other topics are also welcome. This conference focuses broadly on Japanese game culture, education, and industry. It aims to bring education, and the Japanese game industry from the perspectives of humanities, social sciences, business, or education. We encourage poster/demonstration proposals of games or interactive projects related to these themes. Abstracts should be submitted to [email protected] as a MS Word Document. The abstract should be no more than 500 words. Figures, tables and references do not count toward the word limit. Note: Deadline Extended to April 30th, 2021.
