The Second International Workshop
on Ambient Information Technologies (AMBIT 2013)
http://www-human.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/ambit2013/
in conjunction with
IEEE Virtual Reality 2013 (IEEE VR 2013)
http://conferences.computer.org/vr/2013/
March 16 (Sat), 2013
Orlando, FL, USA
* AIM AND SCOPE
In VR environment, users are surrounded with various kinds of devises
such as sensors, displays, actuators, etc. The integration with these
devises and analyzing acquired data lead new techniques and technologies
that could offer users various comfortable computer-supported
environments. As one of such environments, ambient information
technologies have attempted to offer users to unconsciously access
useful information with various kinds of displays according to users’
situation acquired by sensors.
This workshop is expected to make a bridge between ambient
information technologies and VR technologies, in which there remains
many open issues in their integration. The current VR technologies
is expected to enhance ambient information technologies, and vise
versa. For instance, three-dimensional user interfaces based on VR
technologies should be effective for enhancing users' context
recognition in ambient information technologies.
Following the success of the first event in 2012, the second workshop on
Ambient Information Technologies (AMBIT 2013) is aimed at bringing
together researchers who develop any devices (sensors, displays,
actuators, etc.) used in VR environments and applications that utilize
these cultivated devices and integrate acquired data with information to
be displayed.
We hope that this workshop will give helpful hints for the design,
operation and applications of the ambient information environment with
VR technologies. Specific topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following
areas:
- Unconscious, intuitive, non-intrusive interfaces
- Ambient information technologies
- Ambient intelligence
- User interface for ambient environment
- Immersive environment
- Augmented reality
- Context awareness
- Ubiquitous computing/networking for ambient environment
- Computer-supported communication and interaction
- Autonomous, distributed, coordinated environment control
- Realtime environment sensing
- Networking technologies for ambient environment
- Applications of ambient information technologies
* PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original
unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to
the workshop. This workshop has two submission categories: oral and
poster. The length of the oral papers should not exceed 4 pages (IEEE
Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns,
single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and
number each page. The length of the poster papers should not exceed 2
pages.

submission category (oral/poster).
All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to
the authors. Accepted papers will be published either on-line or by
IEEE Computer Society Press.
Papers submitted to the oral category might be accepted as poster
papers. Authors of accepted poster papers are allowed to exhbit their
research demonstrations alongside their posters.
