Ľudovít Labík
The need for visual effects in the film and game industry.

The academic higher education space is constantly lagging behind the needs of practice. The courage to face new challenges associated with the latest technical achievements means constant further education and additional funding in the pedagogical process, which can disrupt the comfort zone of a professional educator.

15.20 – 15.50

Maroš Harrer
First steps in the game industry / How to break into the game industry.

In recent years, the gaming industry has enjoyed great success not only abroad but also in Slovakia. However, the problem is that there are not enough experts in ;the given field so that it can develop to its fullest. One of the main reasons is the lack of educational opportunities in this industry compared to other countries. The aim of the lecture is to show a way to make your own way into the gaming industry despite these obstacles and what it all entails.< o:p>

Andrej Lúčny
New possibilities for the player's physical interaction with the computer game.

When playing a computer game, the player does not have to be physically passive, but until recently he needed specific hardware to be physically involved in the game, which he had to buy, plug in and set up Due to the improvement of machine learning and cloud services, in recent times it is increasingly possible to use completely commonly available and ubiquitous means for this purpose. Specifically, we mention the recognition of faces and figures from an ordinary web-cam, voice control of the game and the use of new generation of chatbots.

16.30 - 17.00
