WAVi 2011: 2nd Argentine Workshop on Video Games


In the last decade, video game development in Argentina evolved from a pure hobbyist activity to a massive industry.

Continuous growth in complexity and diversity of products and platforms, forces companies to keep up with the rapid technological race, requiring constant innovation to remain competitive in this global industry.

In this context, universities have a unique opportunity to offer their capabilities in research and technological transfer to help companies grow and prosper.


Organized in 2010, the first Argentine Workshop on Video games (WAVi) provided a meeting place where researchers, entrepreneurs and videogame companies could interact and exchange ideas.

WAVi gathered local and international speakers, who presented 15 papers in a wide variety of fields to more than 70 attendees. The proceedings and most of the contents are on-line and available to the general public on the Internet.


This year WAVi renews its invitation to developers, researchers, teachers, students and the general public to participate, share and build an international community video games.


This second edition will be held at Buenos Aires, at the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA), on October 21, 2011.

We hope to see you there or receive your contribution.
