Dear Surveillance People - there's a big potential surveillance theme
here (although the organisers don't seem to recognise it...).

Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Physicality
http://www.physicality.org Workshop co-located with the British HCI 2007
conference 2-3 September 2007, Lancaster University, UK
============================================================
We live in an increasingly digital world yet our bodies and minds are
naturally designed to interact with the physical. The products of the
21st century are and will be a synthesis of digital and physical
elements and for the user, these will become indistinguishable. As we
design hybrid physical/digital products we have to understand what we
lose or confuse by the added digitality - and so need to understand
physicality more clearly than before.
We invite contributions that address physicality including:
- design at the physical-digital frontier
- the philosophy of physicality
- artefact-focussed social interaction
- physically-inspired interaction in virtual worlds
- creativity and materiality
- interactive art and performance
- digital emulation of the physical
The two-day workshop will seek to construct a fundamental understanding
of the nature of physicality: how humans experience, manipulate, react
and reason about 'real' physical things and how this may inform the
future design of innovative products.
This workshop will bring together researchers from industry and
academia. We welcome product designers, interaction designers,
researchers in ubiquitous computing, tangible interface and cognitive,
social and philosophical fields, and indeed all excited by this new
challenge of the third millennia.

Important Dates

Submission Deadline 1 July 2007
Acceptance Notification 27 July 2007
Camera-ready Deadline TBC
Workshop 2-3 September 2007

We invite submissions in the form of a 4-6 page position paper in ACM
Format (see web site for more details). If you would like to produce a
contribution in some other form (demonstration, artwork, performance,
etc.) please contact us. Submissions and enquiries should be sent to

The workshop will include invited talks, short individual presentations,
and group activities. The contributions will be published in the
workshop proceedings. Building from this and the previous workshop, we
are planning a journal special issue and would hope that some of the
workshop contributions will be expanded for submission to this.

Designing for the 21st century Initiative.
