Submission Deadline: 15th March 2019 (23:59 AoE)

ISMAR, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), will come to China for the first time in its history of more than 20 years. ISMAR 2019 will be held on October 14-18 in Beijing, China.

ISMAR is responding to the recent explosion of commercial and research activities related to AR and MR and Virtual Reality (VR) by continuing the expansion of its scope over the past several years. ISMAR 2019 will cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR continuum, from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences. This range goes far beyond the traditional definition of AR, which focuses on precise 3D tracking, visual display, and real-time performance.… read more. “Call: ISMAR 2019 – 18th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality”

Workshop on the Social Acceptability of Emerging Technologies and Novel Interaction Paradigms
At INTERACT 2019 – 17th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction
September 2-6, 2019
Paphos, Cyprus
http://interact2019.org/

Workshop website: https://www.socialacceptabilityworkshop.uol.de

Submission deadline: April 19th, 2019

Human-computer interfaces have spread into all aspects of our lives increasing the range and scale of potential issues with social acceptance. In consequence, attending to social acceptability issues with emerging technologies and novel interaction paradigms has become increasingly relevant and interesting to the HCI community.

‘ #SociallyAcceptableHCI – INTERACT’19 Workshop on the Social Acceptability of Emerging Technologies and Novel Interaction Paradigms’ explores how those issues are identified, evaluated, measured, and addressed in the HCI community and beyond. We invite academics and practitioners to come together for one day and discuss socially (un)acceptable HCI technologies and artifacts: How is social acceptability defined in HCI?… read more. “Call: INTERACT 2019 Workshop on the Social Acceptability of Emerging Technologies and Novel Interaction Paradigms”

Screen Tourism and Affective Landscapes (edited book)
Edited by Christina Lee and Erik Champion (Curtin University)

Proposals due by: April 5, 2019

We are soliciting contributions for an edited book that will explore the affective landscapes – both real and imaginary – in screen tourism.

Screen tourism is a burgeoning global industry whereby tourists visit locations that are featured in or are associated with film and television texts (e.g. filming locations, theme parks, the creator’s former abode). This simultaneously niche yet mainstream market has now extended the bucket list of travel destinations to include the likes of Westeros (Dubrovnik, Game of Thrones), Middle-earth (New Zealand, The Lord of the Rings), and Platform 9¾ (London, Harry Potter).

The book will explore how affective landscapes in screen tourism are sights/sites of transformation, play and possibility. It will broach a spectrum of topics, ranging from the tourist’s/fan’s affective response to place, to the strategic design of ventures to enhance the experiential through creating senses of place and narrative.… read more. “Call: Screen Tourism and Affective Landscapes (edited book)”
