First Call for Papers
Second International Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design
Provisional Deadline for full paper submission - 15th June 2007 Workshop
to be held in November 2007 in Seoul, Korea http://www.haid2007.org

Overview
Technologies to enable multimodal interaction are now sufficiently
mature that research is turning away from pure technology development
and looking towards interaction and design issues. Robust solutions
exist to display audio and haptic feedback in many forms - for instance
as speech and non speech sounds and through tactile and force feedback
sensations. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the novel
interactions supported by these modalities can confer benefits for all
users. However, many questions remain: how can we design effective
haptic, audio and multimodal interfaces? In what new application areas
can we apply these techniques? Are there design methods that are useful?
Or evaluation techniques that are particularly appropriate?
While multimodal interfaces are attracting more and more attention,
there is relatively little work on how the haptic and auditory
modalities can be efficiently and effectively combined in an interface.
Is there information which is better communicated using one modality
rather than another? How can we link haptic and auditory displays so
that changes in one modality are reflected in the other? Can we create
complimentary relationships between the information displayed to each
sense? Additionally, how should we interact with these new displays and
interfaces? Is a direct manipulation interaction style still
appropriate? A technique that works well with a force feedback device
but may not be appropriate for all types of displays. How should we
interact with a tactile display, or manipulate a sonified graph?
Whilst audio and haptic interaction has been shown to be a useful tool,
neither sense has the bandwidth of the visual modality. Careful,
considered and informed interaction design will play a vital role if
multimodal systems are to move beyond the lab and into the real world.
This workshop seeks novel research addressing this human-centric
challenge.
HAID'07 is a direct successor to the successful first HAID workshop held
in Glasgow, UK in 2006:

Topics
Contributions are welcomed in (but not limited to) the following areas:
- 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)
Publication
We are seeking to publish the workshop proceedings with Springer in
their LNCS journal series.
