Talk title: Things You Should Know about Immersive Game UI

Description:
Back in the day, a game's user interface (UI) was sometimes added at the end, almost as an afterthought. Those days are long gone and UI design is becoming an increasingly central part of modern videogame creation. In fact, things have gotten to a point where there isn't necessarily a line between game design and UI design! Drawing from his experience in AAA game development, Jinghui Dong will challenge us to rethink game UI, discuss its role in creating immersive user experience and conclude with advice on how you can create immersive game UI for your own game projects.
