5th International Workshop on Pervasive Eye Tracking and Mobile Eye-Based Interaction (PETMEI 2015)
September 7, 2015 in Osaka, Japan, in conjunction with the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2015)

Submission Deadline: June 5, 2015

Eye tracking technology is becoming increasingly available for mobile and pervasive settings. The availability of eye tracking beyond the desktop calls for new interaction concepts, novel applications, and an understanding of the broader implications of pervasive eye tracking on humans. PETMEI 2015 focuses on pervasive eye tracking as a trailblazer for mobile eye-based interaction. The goal of the workshop is to bring together members in the ubiquitous computing, context-aware computing, computer vision, machine learning and eye tracking community to exchange ideas and to discuss different techniques and applications for pervasive eye tracking.

PETMEI 2015 will be a one-day workshop featuring presentations, interactive demos, and group discussions.… read more. “Call: 5th International Workshop on Pervasive Eye Tracking and Mobile Eye-Based Interaction (PETMEI 2015)”

Audio Mostly 2015
7 – 9 October 2015, Thessaloniki, Greece
http://audiomostly.com

Call for Papers

Sound prevails in most aspects of contemporary human communication, interaction, experience and expressiveness. Nowadays, audio is a basic ingredient of multimodal content that is massively interchanged through interacting producers and users within the Web2.0 environment and beyond.

This explosion in the use of audio has been mainly motivated and fueled by the exponential growth of the social media, the vast expansion of user-generated content, and the domination of smartphones, tablets and other mobile and wearable technologies. Sound can engage, inform, narrate, dramatize, shape the atmosphere, stimulate emotions, attract attention and create adventure. Audio modalities are part of infotainment services, interactive documentaries and non-linear stories, e-learning environments, TV-series, movies, games and all kinds of multimedia projects and installations. They are also encountered in more demanding pervasive and semantically enhanced computing services engaging context and location awareness, as well as in virtual and augmented reality human-machine interaction.… read more. “Call: Audio Mostly 2015 – Sound, Semantics and Social Interaction”

OVERVIEW

“Cities are exciting”. People continue to be drawn to urban areas because of the choices that cities offer. Large-scale sensor networks and pervasive computing technologies are transforming our city environments as they become augmented with increasingly powerful networked technologies and media.… read more. “Call: “Making Places: Visualization, Interaction and Experience in Urban Space” in Interaction Design and Architecture(s) Journal (IxD&A)”

The 2015 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2015 (MIG)

November 16-18, 2015, Paris, France
Submission Deadline: July 7, 2015
http://mig2015.inria.fr/

The 8th International Conference on Motion in Games will take place in Paris, France from November 16-18, 2015 and be hosted by Telecom ParisTech. Discussions regarding ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics sponsorship are underway.

Conference mission: Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the motion of the player is used as input to games. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies.… read more. “Call: 2015 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2015 (MIG)”

Digital Memory and Techno-nostalgia: Remembering / Dismembering Performance

Performance and New Technologies Working Group at TaPRA (Theatre and Performance Research Association) 2015 Conference
University of Worcester, 8th to 10th September 2015.

Call Deadline (abstracts): 17 April 2015

The ephemeral nature of live performance has always forced practitioners, critics and notaries to consider ways of committing performance to memory. The act of remembering itself was first expressed through theatrical means by Giulio Camillo and his memory theatre – giving birth to a performative technology, a mnemo-technic reliant on the theatrical frame. The commitment of the ephemeral act to memory most often happens through technological means, which in the digital era produce audio-visual traces that can appear to lend some objectivity in the act of remembrance. If technology defines how we remember live performance, then performances are re-membered –and thus reconstructed– through the lens of those technologies dominant at their times.… read more. “Call: Digital Memory and Techno-nostalgia: Remembering / Dismembering Performance (at TaPRA 2015)”
