CALL FOR PAPERS:

MobileHCI Workshop on Using Audio and Haptics for Delivering Spatial Information via Mobile Devices

http://www.haptimap.org/events/organized-events/mobilehci.html

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Lisbon, Portugal

Submission deadline: May 10, 2010

Orientation and navigation are very important skills for getting along in daily life. The acquisition and use of these skills is based on the processing of visual, auditory and sensorimotor/kinesthetic information, denoting the relations between objects, places, and people. This multisensory information gives us cues about directions, distances, speed, headway, traffic, landmarks, obstacles, etc. With the recent availability of global positioning method, of comprehensive GIS systems, of powerful mobile computers and of advanced interaction techniques, multisensory spatial information could now be presented in a personalized, context-aware and intuitive manner.

However, it is still not completely clear how to design, and how and when to present multisensory spatial information on mobile devices. This workshop will initiate a multidisciplinary discussion on these topics.… read more. “Call: MobileHCI Workshop on Using Audio and Haptics for Delivering Spatial Information via Mobile Devices”

informing the design of the future urban landscape

Workshop :: 17th August :: DIS2010 :: Aarhus, Denmark

Workshop website ::

http://informingurbanfutures.wordpress.com/about/

It is envisaged that the urban spaces of the future will be saturated with both visible and hidden media that gather and transmit information. How we as physical beings connect with, interpret and shape the increase of data residing in our environment will be a significant challenge. The forms in which this data will be presented, and how we decide to conceptualise it, is as yet unknown. Will the technologically enriched environment adapt to accommodate human/city contact points, and, in response, how will we choose to interact with and navigate through, this information landscape? This workshop will identify emerging design themes by bringing together practitioners and researchers from across disciplines. Participants in the workshop will collaborate in a practical exercise designed to reveal issues that will increasingly impact upon the design of the products and services that will populate the urban landscape in the near future.… read more. “Call: Informing the design of the future urban landscape”
