Call for Papers:
INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING WITH MULTIMODAL INTERFACES
a special issue of the journal Multimodal Technologies and Interaction

Manuscript submission deadline: 1 November 2018

Interactive digital storytelling aims at using digital media to create narrative experiences that can be influenced by the user. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines research in artificial intelligence, computer science, narrative, drama, and interactive technologies. The expressive media that have been most commonly used in interactive digital storytelling include text and various forms of virtual reality, but recent advances in multimodal technologies have opened up the potential for creating narrative experiences that also address other senses besides sight and hearing. In particular, tangible interaction and physical interfaces as new interaction paradigms provide rich interactive spaces that are close to our senses and our way to understand the real world.

Including tangible or physical affordances in interactive storytelling settings provides opportunities to improve storytelling tools, as well as the quality of the related user experiences by going more physical.… read more. “Call: Interactive Storytelling with Multimodal Interfaces – Special issue of MTI”

The Futures of Computing and Wisdom
A Design Fiction workshop in conjunction with the NordiCHI’18 conference, Oslo, Norway
Full-day workshop on Saturday September 29, 2018
https://futuresnordichi.wordpress.com

Submission deadline: August 10, 2018

There has been an increasing interest in discussing the consequences of the technologies we invent and study in HCI research, including non-technical dimensions (societal, ethical, normative) (Mankoff et al. 2013, Pargman et al. 2017). This is also apparent in the surge of interest in Design Fiction during the last 10 years (Bleecker 2009, Tanenbaum et al. 2013, Dunne and Raby 2013). Design Fictions have traditionally emphasised near-future developments, implications and consequences, but what about developments that lie one or several decades into the future? If we want to think about and discuss how computing will affect and change society decades from now, the focus cannot be on the technology itself but rather on other types of question.… read more. “Call: “The Futures of Computing and Wisdom” Design Fiction workshop with NordiCHI’18”
