DESCRIPTION

Virtual Futures presents a panel discussion on virtual reality with an artist who will live a simulated life in VR for 28 days, an academic who is using gaming to transform how humans experience the world, one of the UK’s leading VR developers, and a researcher who is using virtual reality to combat psychosis.

By becoming increasingly indistinguishable from reality, virtual environments are fast proving to have a transformative effect on the body and the brain.… read more. “Call: Virtual Futures panel discussion on VR March 21, with free 360 livestream”

Hacking Flavour Perception: Design, Technology & Gastrophysics
by Charles Spence and Yi-Chuan Chen (AHRC, Rethinking the Senses)
Monday 27th March 2017, 10:00 – 17:00
Flora Anderson Hall, Somerville College, Oxford Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6HD, UK

Free tickets and more information: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hacking-flavour-perception-design-technology-gastrophysics-tickets-32602544087

While enjoying a meal, our brain is continuously combining information about what is detected by the tongue with what we smell, not to mention the expectations set by what we see, hear, and feel. Traditionally, the sensory cues that are combined in the perception of flavour would all have originated from the food and drink itself.

Nowadays, though, chefs, culinary artists, experience designers, and researchers working in technology are increasingly starting to hack our experiences of flavour: Everything from sonically seasoning your food through to augmented and virtual reality dining experiences.

This workshop brings together practitioners and researchers from a number of different fields in order to investigate how our understanding of multisensory flavor perception (of flavour objects) is being challenged and extended.… read more. “Call: Hacking Flavour Perception: Design, Technology & Gastrophysics (1-day Workshop)”

COGNITION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR HUMAN-CENTRED DESIGN
A Workshop at IJCAI 2017 – 26th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Melbourne, Australia – Aug 19-25 2017

Co-Chairs: Mehul Bhatt \ Antonio Lieto
University of Bremen \ University of Turin, and ICAR-CNR

http://hcc.uni-bremen.de/codesign2017/workshops/melbourne/

Title and abstracts due April 18 onwards

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The workshop on Cognition and Artificial Intelligence for Human-Centred Design will bring together interdisciplinary scientific perspectives on human-centred design particularly focussing on the theme of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Cognitive Systems supported next-generation design technologies. The workshop addresses cognitive technology assisted human-centred design conception, analysis, and synthesis; it approaches the design process, and the use of designed structures and artefacts from a cognitive and computational perspective. A particular focus is on the importance of the embodied visuo-spatial thinking involved in problem-solving for the design of objects, artefacts, and people-experiences.… read more. “Call: Cognition and Artificial Intelligence for Human-Centred Design – IJCAI 2017 Workshop”
