SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION

The fast development of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) solutions over the last few years are transforming how people interact, work, and communicate. The eXtended Reality (XR) term encloses all those immersive technologies that can shift the boundaries between digital and physical worlds to realize the metaverse. According to tech companies and venture capitalists, the metaverse will be a super-platform that convenes sub-platforms: social media, online video games, and ease-of-life apps, all accessible through the same digital space and sharing the same digital economy.… read more. “Call: “Extended Reality as a Gateway to the Metaverse” at IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023”

[Important note: I usually avoid posting Calls for Papers that involve the requirement that authors pay a fee for submission and/or publication but do so when the topic is particularly relevant to the presence community. In these cases, as with the Call below, I add an explicit note near the top of the post specifying that there is a fee (see the last line below for details).

Los Angeles, CA
http://sap.acm.org/2023/

Deadline for abstract submission: April 14, 2023
Deadline for paper submission: April 21, 2023

The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP) provides an intimate forum for researchers who combine knowledge, methods, and insights from perception research and computer science disciplines. This includes such disciplines as cognitive psychology, perceptual psychology, psychophysics, behavior-analysis, and neuroscience on the perceptual side and computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, virtual reality and human-computer interfaces on the visual computing side.

The interdisciplinary focus of this conference acknowledges that the various scientific disciplines in perception research and computer science research use different but complementary methods to address fundamentally similar questions. As such, combinations of knowledge, methods, and/or insights from the different fields can help to advance all of the applied perception fields.… read more. “Call: ACM SAP 2023: ACM Symposium on Applied Perception”

DANCING WITH TECHNOLOGY: Towards a Choreography of Blended Experiences
A Full-day Hybrid Workshop at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences (IMX) 2023
Nantes, France
June 12, 2023
Workshop: http://blendedexperiences.com/
IMX 2023: https://imx.acm.org/2023/

Submission deadline: March 20, 2023

Interaction between, across, and through digital technologies integrated into everyday activities can be stilted, clumsy, awkward, and hard to navigate, much like a complicated dance performance. What does it take to choreograph these experiences so that they seamfully blend digital and physical space to make complex interactions as easy and graceful as dancing with an experienced ballroom dancer? When designing complex interactions in these environments, there is a tendency to lean toward a linear causal understanding of experience. This workshop urges us to consider experience as a dance with technology.

This workshop explores the notion of Cognitive Integration or Blending Theory and its application in Benyon’s conceptualization of Blended Space as a means for working across the physical/digital divide.… read more. “Call: “Dancing with Technology: Towards a Choreography of Blended Experiences” IMX 2023 Workshop”
