*1st Call for Participation: CHI 2023 Workshop:  Body x Materials: A
workshop exploring the role of material-enabled body-based multisensory
experiences*

This workshop aims to build a community and open the design space for
materiality and material-enabled body-based multisensory experiences by
integrating research from various perspectives. We invite researchers,
practitioners, and designers with an interest in designing and evaluating
material-enabled body- based multisensory experiences and technologies, to
submit *position papers of up to 4 pages* in single-column SIGCHI
submission template (including references) stating their existing work, a
conceptual design, or their position with respect to the workshop topic.

Submissions can be made, by February 20, 2023, on the workshop website (
https://www.rca.ac.uk/body-materials) by completing a pre-questionnaire
which includes demographic questions to help the organizers establish
authors’ background. The submissions can be individual or group.
Submissions should also describe a concept, prototype or method that will
be brought and showcased at the workshop and include up to two discussion
points and issues that participants would like to discuss in the workshop.
We also welcome alternate submissions in the form of presentation slides,
design sketches, videos, and posters. Authors must ensure the accessibility
of their submission by following the SIGCHI Accessibility Guidelines (
https://sigchi.org/conferences/author-resources/accessibility-guide/).

If accepted, at least one author must attend the pre-workshop activity, the
workshop at CHI2023 (in-person) and bring and showcase at the workshop
their contribution (concept, prototype, method). All accepted submissions
will be published on the website.

Important Dates:
 *   February 20: Submission deadline
 *   March 1: Participant notifications sent
