Our expectations of user experience with digital applications is shifting. The ‘one-size-fits-all’ model is gradually giving way to personalized experiences that can better accommodate users’ individual differences. Personalized search, recommendations systems, and social media feeds, for instance, are becoming the norm of our digital life. In computer games, increasing number of studies are beginning to show that personalization may lead to longer engagement, better outcomes, in terms of learning, health benefits, etc. However, how to personalize a game experience is not an easy question. It involves an interplay between different disciplines and expertise, such as experience design, psychology, and artificial intelligence, to understand individual differences and to adapt game experiences.… read more. “Call: Workshop on Envisioning Next Generation Personalized Game Experiences at FDG 2019”

Workshop on Speech Interface Interactions
At CHI 2019, May 4-9, Glagow, UK
http://speech-interaction.org/chi2019

2 page position papers due February 12, 2019

Speech as an interaction modality has grown through the integration of Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPAs) like Google Assistant and Siri into mobile and home-based devices. This collaborative workshop focuses on theories and methods we can use to understand user behaviours with speech interfaces.

Through the workshop we will establish what theories, concepts, and paradigms are important in understanding our interaction choices with speech interfaces, and potential new theoretical frame- works required to explore them. We will critically evaluate existing methodologies used to explore these interactions and determine priority areas for improving methods to explore the theories and paradigms identified.

This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from any domain interested in understanding user interaction behaviours with speech interfaces.… read more. “Call: CHI 2019 Workshop on Speech Interface Interactions”

Digital technology and artificial intelligence are becoming embedded in the objects all around us, from consumer products to the built environment. Everyday life happens where People, Technology, and Place intersect. Our activities and movements are increasingly sensed, digitized and tracked. Of course, the data generated by modern life is a hugely important resource not just for companies who use it for commercial purposes, but it can also be harnessed for the benefit of the individuals it concerns. Sonification research that has hit the news headlines in recent times has often been related to big science done at large publicly funded labs with little impact on the day-to-day lives of people.… read more. “Call: ICAD 2019 – 25th International Conference on Auditory Display”
