INTERACT 2015
15th IFIP TC13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction
14-18 Sept. 2015 in Bamberg, Germany

http://www.INTERACT2015.org

INTERACT is among the world’s top conferences in Human-Computer Interaction. This conference series has been organised under the aegis of the Technical Committee 13 on Human-Computer Interaction of the UNESCO International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

INTERACT 2015 solicits submissions in a broad range of categories, addressing all aspects of Human-Computer Interaction. With the theme “Connection.Tradition.Innovation” the focus is on the past, present, and future of the field of Human-Computer Interaction and its paradigms, concepts, methods, and technology. We seek high quality contributions opening new and emerging HCI disciplines, but also leveraging on the wealth of knowledge and experience from within HCI and beyond. INTERACT 2015 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners.… read more. “Call: Interact 2015 – International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction”

Critical Spaces: Disorienting the Topological

Call for Papers:

“The present epoch will perhaps be above all the epoch of space.” — Michel Foucault ‘Of Other Spaces’

“Oh God! I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space.” —Hamlet

Foucault’s assertion that the present epoch will be one of space immediately evokes the temporal.  Whether we consider our epoch as modern, postmodern, or as nonmodern, the philosophical treatment of space has been subordinated to time. Elizabeth Grosz has suggested that philosophy could draw on architecture to consider itself as a form of building or dwelling rather than as reflection of thought, evoking the spatial already implied by Heidegger.… read more. “Call: Critical Spaces: Disorienting the Topological – A graduate conference in the critical humanities”

Tangible Meets Gestural: Comparing and Blending Post-WIMP Interaction Paradigms – First Workshop on Tangible Gesture Interaction – TEI 2015
January 15 or 16, Stanford

Submission deadline: November 25

Call for Papers

Tangible interaction and gestural interaction are two evolving interaction paradigms that are gaining an increasing interest within the HCI community. In a world where many objects become intelligent, opening the doors to ubiquitous computing, these two interaction paradigms seem particularly promising to exploit two innate human skills: the ability to manipulate objects and the ability to communicate through gestures. A new interaction paradigm, tangible gesture interaction, tries to bridge the benefits offered by tangible interaction and gestural interaction.

In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to compare benefits of tangible and gestural interaction and to propose advancements in the field of tangible gesture interaction. Indeed, we encourage participants to submit 4 to 6 page position papers (SIGCHI Extended Abstract format) on the following (or related) topics:

• Theory and ground knowledge that frames gestural and tangible interaction
• Application of existing post-WIMP frameworks in tangible and gestural interaction
• Comparison of gestural and tangible interfaces (user performances, cognitive load, fatigue, learnability, skill development etc.)
