Call for Participation for CHI’13 workshop on Experiencing Interactivity in Public Spaces (EIPS)
Mobile and ubiquitous systems create opportunities for new kinds of interactivity in public spaces. This one-day workshop will bring together researchers, designers, practitioners and media artists to discuss new forms of experiences with publicly used interactive systems. We will discuss a broad sample of existing systems and prototypes, and issues related to user experiences in public spaces. We will have intensive group work sessions with both analytical and creative approaches.
Paper submission deadline: January 11th, 2013
Notifications: February 8th, 2013
Workshop: April 28th in Paris
Please visit EIPS workshop web site for more details:

This workshop addresses the following issues:
- Experiences with publicly used interactive systems – experienced by the users and spectators
- Public interactions which invite other people to join and public interactions which are meant as private
- Experiences of public interactivity with various modalities, e.g. bodily movements, gestures and speech
- Social acceptance and social implications of interactivity in the public space; privacy
- Community interaction and collaboration; multi-person interaction; ad-hoc community formation
- Experiences with interactive media arts
- Methodological issues of evaluating user experience in public spaces
The results of the workshop will be an “experience design space” and a research agenda for experiences with interactive systems used in public spaces. These results will help set targets for future research, as well as provide focus for designing for experience with such systems.
Position papers of maximum 5 pages in the CHI extended abstracts format should be submitted via EasyChair by Friday, January 11th, 2013. Notifications will be given by February 8th, 2013. One author of each paper is required to register to the workshop and one day of CHI’13. Maximum of 25 authors will be invited to participate, based on the quality and relevance of their submitted position or research papers.
Looking forward to your submissions!
