Call for IPC Members - SciFi-It'2017, International Science Fiction Prototyping Conference, April 9-12, 2017, Bruges, Belgium

Dear Colleague,

As our EUROMEDIA event has run its course over
the years and many of the technologies have moved on
EUROSIS is organizing a new event called SciFi-It'2017
(The International Science Fiction Prototyping Conference)
which will pick up technology where EUROMEDIA left off,
from April 9-12, 2017 at the Novotel, Bruges, Belgium.
(https://www.visitbruges.be/)

For the event we are looking for IPC (International
programme Committee) members for the tracks mentioned below.
If you want to get involved in this new exciting event,
please get back to me by December 2nd, 2017. See how below

Premise:

Living in a world driven by rapidly changing technology, what used to be classified as science fiction is fast becoming science fact. Moreover science fiction has in its own right become a source of inspiration in product development and product design. This process, better known as science fiction prototyping, functions as a vehicle to promote creative thinking and innovation in the business and technology development process using ethnographic field studies, technology research and trend data in order to create a pragmatic vision of the future for consumers and computing called “future casting”.

This International Science Fiction Prototyping conference covers the transition of ideas and objects from science fiction through developmental research using simulation, modelling and AI into managerial, military, industrial and household objects and tools for our future present daily lives in order for the aforementioned to become an integral part of that future present.

The SciFi-it conference covers the following topics:
- Augmented Reality and Pervasive Systems in Simulation
- Sci-Fi Product Design Methodology – From Mind to Matter
- Interfacing the real and digital world
- 3D printing the world - From 3D printer to replicator
- Augmenting the human – from human to humanoid
- From home to digital playground
- From Shopping Mall to Tailored Shopping Experience
- From Office to Road Warrior Virtual Battle Station
- From hospitals to “Home-spitals” - From Hospital Room to Sickbay
- From robot worker to robo-buddy
- Of UAV’s, Robot Vehicles and Sentient Drones
- AI you can drive my Car
- Farming in the Sky with Robots
- From Minority Report to Robocop
- Preparing the Military for the Future Virtual Battle Space
- Reach for the Sky
- To infinity and beyond

A preliminary page giving detailed descriptions on the contents of the above
titles and which will be moved to the conference itself can be found here:
