Call for Participation - Designing for Performative Interactions in Public Spaces UbiComp 2010 - Copenhagen, Denmark September 26, 2010
Workshop Aims
This workshop seeks to explore performative aspects of ubiquitous and mobile technology when used in public settings. Based on the idea that interactions with technology conducted in public places may be understood in a 'performative' sense, this workshop seeks to examine the variety of technologies that support performative interactions; these can range from explicit performances by actors through to implicit 'performances' that are part of everyday actions. This broad topic includes such technologies as public or large displays, tangible systems, and mobile interfaces as they are used in various public settings such as outdoor urban settings, museums, galleries and exploratoria, and other mobile settings. This workshop will address these technologies by looking at user experience, spectator and performer roles, and the social acceptability of human performance in public spaces.
Workshop Topics
* Technologies for performative interaction
What technologies can be used to track performance?
How might this tracking be interpreted or mapped to outputs?
* Evaluating User Experience
How does performance affect user experience?
How can this user experience be evaluated?
* Spectator/Performer Roles
How do spectators influence performative interface users?
How can spectators participate in performance?
* Social Acceptability
What factors influence social acceptability?
How does social acceptability change over time?
