Aim of the Project:
Eurasia Graphics is a platform that brings together researchers, practitioners, students and industry to share the latest developments and research in Computer Graphics, Animation and Games. Eurasia Graphics plays an active role in providing an environment in which the results of new research and experience can be shared. This year’s conference aims to offer a wide range of content from which all participants will benefit, as at previous conferences. The scientific committee consists of international experts from various disciplines. The technical programme will consist of keynote speeches by distinguished experts, oral presentations of contributed papers and poster presentations of ongoing work. The conference covers a broad range of content, and this year’s focus will be VR, AR and gamification.
In addition, with the support of participants from the fields of educational sciences and health, workshops will be organised on the use of virtual reality and game technologies in education and health. Thus, the aim is to identify common areas of work between computer engineering and the social sciences and to increase work in this area.
Event Dates and Venue:
The event will be held at Hasan Kalyoncu University on 16-17 November 2018.
At the end of the event on Friday 16 November, a dinner will be organised for participants and invited speakers at the Culinary Arts Centre to introduce Gaziantep’s local dishes.
After the event, on Sunday 18 November, a tourist trip will be organised across Gaziantep, and participants will be informed about the history and culture of Gaziantep.
Contribution of the Project to Cultural, Artistic and Tourism Development and Promotion:
Many national and international participants will visit our city within the scope of the “EURASIA GRAPHICS 2018” conference, themed on computer graphics, animation and games, and students, researchers and industrialists from various regions of the world will come together. The EURASIA GRAPHICS conference, which was previously held in Istanbul and Ankara, will be held in our city this year, which will bring great cultural and social benefit to our city within the scope of the promotion of Gaziantep and will also increase its recognition nationally and internationally.
In addition, the Eurasiagraphics Hackathon event will be held together with the conference. The theme of the Hackathon will be “Cultural Heritage”. With this event, many participants from different provinces of Turkey will stay in our city for 3 days and will develop applications on the cultural heritage of Gaziantep. These applications will be released as mobile and computer applications. In this way, applications containing the cultural and traditional structure of the city of Gaziantep will be offered to users in Turkey and around the world, thereby aiming to promote the city. In addition, before the Hackathon event, a city tour will be organised for the participants, and information about the history and present of the city of Gaziantep will be given for them to use in their applications.
