Call for Papers: Physicality 2012
4th International Workshop on Physicality co-located with British HCI
2012 conference
11 September 2012, University of Birmingham, UK
http://www.physicality.org/physicality2012
===============================================================
Physicality 2012 is the 4th International Workshop aimed at exploring
design challenges, theories and experiences in developing new forms of
interactions that exploit human physical interaction with digital
technology. Physicality-based interactions extend feedback beyond the
visual, thus emulating the experiences gained through our interaction
with the world via our non-visual senses and control capabilities such
as gesture, speech, touch and haptic. Also, the body parts used for
interaction stretch out from the finger to the palm, arm and even the
whole body.
This multi-disciplinary workshop will bring together researchers from
industry and academia. We welcome participation from designers and
technologists, artists and architects, researchers in tangible
interaction and organic user interfaces, psychologists, philosophers and
social scientists, and indeed, all excited by learning from the latest
works and experiences in this field.
TOPICS FOR SUBMISSION
We invite contributions that address physicality; appropriate topics
include but are not limited to:
* Enabling technologies for physicality-based interactions
* Philosophy of physicality and its role for human perception and cognition
* Design at the physical-digital frontier
* Artefact focussed social interaction
* Flexible, non-flat or actuated display interfaces
* Embodied interaction
* Physicality inspired interaction in virtual worlds
* Digital emulation of the physical
* Interactive art, creativity and performance
* Movement and choreography of interaction
We invite submissions from 2-4 pages position papers to 4-10 pages
research papers. We would also like to encourage contributions in other
forms, such as demonstration, artwork or performance, but please contact
us first. Submissions and enquiries should be sent to
<devinaATphysicality.org>
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: 18 June 2012
Acceptance Notification: 10 July 2012
Camera-ready copy: TBC
All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judges on the basis of
originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation
quality and relevance to the workshop. All accepted contributions would
be given the chance to be revised and extended for the camera-ready
copy. All contributions will be published in the workshop proceedings
and selected papers lodged in the BCS eWiC repository.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will include short individual presentations, discussions
and a hands-on session. The main part of the workshop will be held on
the 11th September but we plan to open the workshop in the evening of
the 10th September with a dinner together, to allow introductions and
any demonstrations.
