International Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design
31st August - 1st September 2006
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~mcgookdk/multivis/workshop.html
Call for Participation and First Call for Posters
Technologies to enable multimodal interaction have matured to a level that we can now think about design issues rather than just technology development or proofs of concept. Haptic (tactile and force-feedback), auditory (speech and non-speech) and multimodal interfaces provide novel methods for users to interact with computer systems. Such interactions can provide benefits for all users, with particular advantages for visually impaired people and mobile device users who might have limited access to standard visual displays. This workshop is part of the EPSRC funded MultiVis project (http://www.multivis.org), which is investigating non-visual visualisation.
Call for Posters and Demos
We are pleased to open a call for posters. Four page abstracts (in this format prescribed on the workshop webpage) on work relevant to the themes of the workshop should be submitted to [log in to unmask] by the 10th July 2006. Abstracts will be lightly reviewed and accepted authors notified by 31st July. All submissions must be final camera ready versions with all author details attached. Authors of accepted abstracts will present a poster on their work during the poster session. Authors may additionally present a demo if this is feasible and appropriate. Demos are NOT compulsory, but if you would like to provide one please outline it and the resources required in the email when you send your abstract. Abstracts will be made available to workshop attendees in a second volume of the proceedings and more widely via the workshop website (they will not appear in the main Springer proceedings).
Themes
Novel haptic, audio and multimodal interfaces and interactions Evaluating multimodal interactions Design principles for multimodal systems Multimodal visualisations Cross modal interactions Auditory and haptic displays for visually impaired people Multimodal gaming and entertainment Collaborative multimodal systems Novel systems and interactions using other modalities (e.g. taste, smell)
