Call for Papers TANGIBLE AND EMBEDDED INTERACTION
Special Issue Publication Date: September
2008
We invite short and long submissions on tangible and embedded
interaction. Work addressing related HCI issues, design, use contexts,
tools and technologies, and interactive art are all welcome. We
particularly welcome interdisciplinary submissions across these themes.
With technological advances, computing has progressively moved beyond
the desktop into new physical and social contexts. As physical
artifacts gain new computational behaviours, they become
reprogrammable, customizable, repurposable, and interoperable in rich
ecologies and diverse contexts. They also become more complex, and
require intense design effort in order to be functional, usable, and
enjoyable. Designing such systems requires interdisciplinary thinking.
Their creation must not only encompass software, electronics, and
mechanics, but also the system's physical form and behavior, its social
and physical milieu, aesthetics, and beyond.
- Case studies and evaluations of deployments
- Analysis of key challenges, proposals of research agenda
- Relation of tangible and embedded interaction to other paradigms
- Programming tools, toolkits, software architectures
- Novel interactive uses of sensors+actuators, electronics+mechatronics
- Design guidelines, methods, and processes
- Novel application areas, innovative solutions/systems
- Theoretical foundations, frameworks, and concepts
- Philosophical, ethical & social implications
- Interactive Theatre and Cinema
- Interfaces specific to particular cultures
- Usability and enjoyment, aesthetics
- Advantages and weaknesses of these kinds of systems
- Learning from the role of physicality in everyday environments
- Embodied interaction, movement, and choreography of interaction
- Role of physicality for human perception, cognition and experience
- Teaching tangible/embedded interaction design, and best practices
The new conference series “Tangible and Embedded Interaction” (TEI,
www.tei‐conf.org), which first took place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in
2007, and 2008 in Bonn, Germany, demonstrates the international
interest and the many dimensions of the work in this area. It has had a
multidisciplinary audience with artists, designers, technology
builders, ethnographers and HCI specialists, even touching upon
robotics and interactive buildings.
Submissions can either contain new original work, or be revised
versions of previously published papers. Revised versions need to
contain at least 30% new content, providing (e.g.) more details or
extensions with follow‐up research. Authors should provide access to an
online version of the previously published version (to ease work for
reviewers) and explicate how the new version differs. Each submission
should be written in a way that is accessible to the multidisciplinary
audience of the journal.
