Call for Workshop Position Papers
MOBILE SPATIAL INTERACTION
A workshop in conjunction with CHI 2007 "Reach Beyond"
28 April 2007
San Jose, California, USA
Workshop website: http://msi.ftw.at
CHI 2007 website: http://www.chi2007.org
The use of geo-referenced information on the web has recently received
increasing interest in the research community and the public. People use
interactive maps to share their favorite places with others, and they
use geo-browsing services for planning their vacation. Spatial information
is even more useful in mobile situations, because it is directly related to
the user's surroundings. This idea of "Mobile spatial interaction" (MSI)
is becoming increasingly relevant, feasible and desired. Location and
orientation sensing hardware is being integrated into a growing number
of handsets and can be expected to be even more widespread in the near
future. At the same time, geographic information systems and 3D models
are becoming more sophisticated.
The workshop "Mobile Spatial Interaction" will aim to help researchers
realize the vision of seamless and intuitive Mobile Spatial Interaction.
The goal is to reach beyond the conventional model of location by creating
a sense of space and orientation.
Original research results and concepts on the following topics are encouraged:
- Methods and ideas for the identification of application scenarios
- Modelling concepts for geo-spatial (end-user) content creation
- Conceptual designs and scenarios of spatially-aware interaction
techniques
- Outdoor testing methods for spatially aware applications
- Augmented/parallel reality concepts in gaming, arts, tourism, etc
- Location/orientation sensing technologies and migration paths from
legacy to state-of-the-art technology
- Mobile social applications and services involving the interaction with
information created by other users
- Indoor navigation and spatial awareness
- Practicality and feasibility issues regarding technologies, application
design and data modeling.
- Combination of spatial interaction with gesture-based interaction
- Dealing with sensor uncertainty e.g. what happens when GPS shadows
occur
or there is less accurate wireless transmitter triangulation?
- Multimodal integration, e.g. by adding spatial audio, touch, or scent
Please note that the workshop focuses on interactions with information attached
to the surrounding space. Pure gestural interaction with a device is therefore
explicitly excluded from the scope of this workshop.
The intention is to bring together researchers and practitioners from areas as
diverse as: mobile application design; geographic information systems, geodesy
and geoinformatics; pervasive game design; communications theory and social
software design; experimental hardware prototyping; commercial device
manufacturing; psychology of spatial perception; semantic systems and natural
language processing; marketing; multimedia arts; tourism and cultural heritage;
information visualization and sonification; spatial audio; and augmented reality.
