Kaiserslautern, Germany
https://hci.uni-kl.de/ecce2022/
Deadline for submissions: March 15, 2022
ECCE is the leading conference in human-media interaction and cognitive ergonomics. It provides an opportunity for both researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and practical experiences for a variety of domains.
ECCE 2022 invites contributions from researchers and practitioners which address the broad spectrum of Cognitive Ergonomics challenges in the analysis, design, and evaluation of virtual and physical interactive systems as part of a rich conference program including keynote talks, paper presentation as well as a doctoral consortium. The 33rd ECCE conference will target state-of-the-art as well as emerging topics pertaining to cognitive ergonomics and its role in design processes, information presentation and visualization, human factors and simulation, prototyping, cross / extended reality, user interfaces development, evaluations, and emerging ethical issues.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following ones:
- Cognitive processes in design
- Cognitively-orientated human factors
- Consequences of VR/AR/MR usage
- Context awareness
- Cross / Extended reality (XR): VR, AR, and MR
- Decision aiding, information presentation and visualization
- Design methods, tools, and methodologies for designing interactive systems
- Ecological approaches to human cognition and human-technology interaction
- Efficient collaborations
- Ethical issues in virtual environments
- Human-computer interaction
- Human error and reliability
- Human factors and simulation
- Human-technology interaction in the Internet of Things era
- Interactive learning
- Intuitive interaction
- Motivation, engagement, goal sharing
- Multisensory perception
- Resilience and diversity
- Scalable evaluation spanning the reality–virtuality continuum
- Situation awareness
- Trust and control in complex virtual systems
- User experience design
- User interfaces
- User research concepts, methods, and empirical studies
THEME
The special theme of 33rd ECCE conference, which will be held October 4-7, 2022 in Kaiserslautern, Germany, is:
Evaluating the Reality–Virtuality Continuum
It is dedicated to a variety of research areas and applications that are encompassed by the so-called Reality-Virtuality continuum1,2: These include systems that are used in real-world settings such as applications scaling from smart devices to large industrial setups, as well as Mixed Reality (MR) applications that integrate real and virtual objects, and Virtual Reality (VR) applications that immerse users into purely virtual environments. Contributions to ECCE 2022 may investigate the interaction with any of these systems and propose enhancements to their design, development, or evaluation.
