***OVERVIEW***
In everyday life, we can easily perform various
activities without focused attention. For example, we can tie
our shoelaces or know what the weather is like without
consciously thinking about it. Such activities are performed in
our periphery of attention while they may also shift to the
center of attention when relevant. Contrarily, interactive
devices such as smartphones usually require focused attention to
be interacted with. Since such devices are becoming omnipresent
in our daily environment, we need to explore how to design
technology such that it can engage both the focus and periphery
of attention. This direction, which is called “peripheral
interaction”, aims to seamlessly embed computing technology into
everyday life.
With computers now becoming
truly ubiquitous in everyday life, certain interactions with
computing technologies will inevitably not concern our focus of
attention. While various past efforts in this domain aimed to
subtly present information such that people can perceive it in
their periphery of attention, we now see an upcoming interest in
interactive systems that people can physically interact with in
their periphery of attention. This special issue aims to unify
the various terminologies used and will furthermore try to
consolidate motivation for and framing of the work. This issue
aims to enable a platform for a wide academic discussion on
peripheral interaction and its value for embedding HCI in
everyday life.
***TOPICS OF INTEREST***
The special issue welcomes
original research papers in the broad area of peripheral
interaction. Possible contributions may
include but are not limited to:
***SUBMISSION PROCEDURE***
The manuscripts should be
submitted in Word-format. All submissions will be blindly
peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Prospective authors are
invited to submit papers of 8 to 14 pages (including authors'
information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.).
The paper should be written according to the IxD&A authors’
guidelines (see http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=9&a=33).
The online submission system
will soon be open for submissions.
More information on the
submission procedure and on the characteristics of the paper
format can be found on the website of IxD&A Journal where
information on the copyright policy and responsibility of
authors, publication ethics and malpractice are published.
