SUBMISSIONS
In this special issue we aim to bring together a diverse community of
researchers and practitioners working on human-centred approaches to
understanding movement-based interaction and the design of technology to
support this form of interaction. We invite submissions that focus on
theoretical, methodological and empirical (design oriented) aspects of
movement-based interaction addressing questions including, but not limited
to:
- Philosophical approaches. Which concepts of, or from, philosophy
could/should movement-based interaction be based on?
- Embodiment. What would an emphasis on human activities as embodied
activities contribute to HCI in general and more specifically to
movement-based interaction?
- User purpose/need. What kinds of applications are most appropriate for
movement-based interaction?
- Agency. What are the implications for human agency in movement-based
interaction?
- Human Movement. What kinds of understandings of human movement can provide
useful perspectives for interaction design?
- Representations and Design. How can well-informed approaches to
representations of human movements be incorporated into interaction design?
- Ethics. What are the potential ethical implications of movement-based
interaction?
- Space and place. In what ways are different understandings of space and
place relevant for interaction design for movement-based interaction?
We invite participation from a range of domains (from art to rehabilitation)
that are either informed by or that could inform discussion on the proposed
topic.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
Long papers. Submissions of a reflective nature, which review theoretical
and methodological aspects of movement-based interaction, as well as
submissions that document design-oriented research of new and innovative
design solutions, and accounts of user studies or real-world deployment of
movement-based interaction (10-15 pages).
Short(er) papers and Design sketches. Submissions that present new and
ongoing work (new systems, evaluations, methods, concepts etc) in
movement-based interaction, in a written or visual format. Design sketches
should concentrate on illustrations (5-10 images) with brief explanatory
texts, to communicate the essence of the innovative system or interface. A
self-contained abstract, maximum one A4 page, should accompany these
submissions (4-6 pages).
We are also open to other types of submissions, including those that debate
or challenge controversial issues in the area.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submissions should conform to the usual format of the journal, see Author
guidelines (http://www.personal-ubicomp.com/instructions.pdf). All
submissions will be peer reviewed to the journal's usual standard. We
encourage potential author to contact the editors prior to submission. The
deadline for receiving submissions is 26th November 2005.
