CHI 2006 Workshop: Entertainment media at home - looking at the social
aspects.
Montreal, April 22nd 2006.
Position paper deadline 24th December 2005.
Details: http://www.itu.dk/people/chi2006workshop
Call for position papers:
The home is increasingly being filled with entertainment technologies to
allow for the watching of TV and movies, listening to music, and playing
of games as well as novel technologies such as robotic pets and
interactive furniture. As entertainment technologies continue to
multiple, we need to consider how they are situated into existing
households. The goal of this workshop is to discuss how the introduction
of entertainment technologies into the home is changing the dynamics of
family life, and the larger social effect. We encourage participation
from a wide range of HCI people, from home media designers to social
science researchers. The workshop will be limited to 20 participants to
give everyone opportunity to present and discuss their own work. We
invite people to submit a position paper of maximum of 4 pages ACM
format describing one of the following:
* Ethnographic and other studies of new and existing entertainment
technologies, or studies of home life that are applicable to
entertainment technology
* Reviews of sociology and anthropology research looking at
technology use and adoption terms of gender, family roles, as well as
regional or racial differences
* Discussions of social and cultural implications of new media,
including the consequences of time shifting, profiling, and individually
tailored media
* Discussions of how these issue vary across cultures to ensure the
output of this workshop is applicable to domestic technology researchers
across the world
* Work relating to design for a piece of home entertainment media
if grounded in discussion of social and cultural issues
Submission instructions: Please submit a 3-4 page paper in Conference
proceedings ACM format as PDF to Louise Barkhuus no later than December
24th 2006 5 PM your local time.
Organizers: Louise Barkhuus, University of Glasgow; Jennifer Rode,
University of California, Irvine; Genevieve Bell, Intel Research, Portland.
