CHI2006 Workshop on
HCI AND THE FACE
http://www.bartneck.de/workshop/chi2006
Introduction
============
The human face plays an important role in many aspects of verbal and
non-verbal communication. As such, the face is a rich source of information
relevant to human-computer interaction. The fields of eye gaze tracking and
face recognition have both reached sufficient maturity that several
companies now offer commercial products based on these technologies. By
contrast, other aspects of facial information processing, including
expression and gesture recognition have yet to reach a comparable stage of
development. This workshop will consist of a general assessment of the state
of the art of facial information processing in HCI. By examining a broad
range of topics in HCI related to this theme we will attempt to understand
why certain areas of face-based HCI, such as facial expression processing
and robotic facial display, have lagged others, such as gaze tracking, and
identity recognition. The goal is to collectively arrive at a set of
research strategies to bring the more slowly developing areas up to speed.
An extended list of possible topics will be made available at the workshopıs
web site. Briefly:
EUR Innovative methods for controlling robotic faces
EUR Expression and gesture measurement and tracking tools
EUR The role of context in processing facial information
EUR Multimodality: combining facial information with affective data such as
EMG and galvanic response
EUR Theory and research paradigms
EUR Key privacy, trust, and security issues for face processing applications
EUR Face technology for the disabled
EUR The face in technology for the aging population
EUR Face technology for entertainment computing and games
EUR Funding, publication and exchange of research
Format
