Second Call for Papers
**** INTERACTION DESIGN AND CHILDREN ****
International Workshop
August 28-29 2002
Eindhoven University of Technology
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
* KEYNOTE SPEAKERS *
- Allison Druin, University of Maryland, sponsored by JFS School of Research
in User System Interaction
- Justine Cassel, MIT Media Laboratory, sponsored by TU/e, Department of
Industrial Design
* CONFERENCE THEMES *
Recent years have seen a growing research interest in children as users of
technology and in design methods that will address their specific and
changing needs, interests and capacities. This topic has traditionally
attracted the interest of child psychologists, marketing studies and media
studies. More recently, the field of human-computer interaction has
recognised the need to tailor existing user centred design techniques or to
invent new techniques to meet the special requirements of this field.
This conference aims to provide a venue for publishing scientific results,
case studies, application experiences for designing interactive technologies
for children, the demonstration of novel design concepts and, finally, to
encourage delegates for a fruitful exchange of ideas.
* TOPICS *
Papers are invited on issues relating to the conference theme, especially
covering
the topics below:
- Children as participants in the design of interactive systems
- Evaluation techniques for children users
- Changing capacities, technological needs and interests of children
- Interaction design issues in games, educational software, and other
interactive products for children
- Input devices and interaction styles for children
- Guidelines for designing for children
- Guidelines for involving children in the design process
- Successful cases of interaction design involving children
- Innovative interactive products and technologies aiming at children
- Techniques for collecting children's requirements early in the design
process
- Empirical studies of children as users of interactive systems
- Theoretical (e.g., cognitive) models of interaction targeting children
users
