_Title: Making Places: Visualization, Interaction and Experience in
Urban Space
http://futurecities.up.pt/site/makingplaces-workshop/
"Cities are exciting" [8]. People are drawn to urban areas because of
the choices that cities offer. Large-scale sensor networks and
pervasive computing technologies are transforming city environments as
they become augmented with increasingly powerful, networked
technologies and media. [4] This raises the question of how these
technologies can play a part in improving the use of the spaces in
urban environment and, critically, what roles information
visualization and interaction design have in this endeavor. [7] In the
context of so-called future or smart cities, visualizations are
especially relevant as they are the tangible outcomes of these
systems, while interaction design is the enabler for citizens to
engage with this urban data.
Emerging technologies are providing new ways of experiencing
information in urban space and, consequently, creating a fertile area
for cross-disciplinary research, bringing together computer sciences,
social sciences, arts and music, among others (see for example [1],
[2], [3], [5] and [6]). But it is through human activities, that urban
spaces become "places". How people experience and conceptualise
"place" is formed by the scope and range of what happens in that space
and those that inhabit it.
This is an interdisciplinary workshop encouraging dialogue between
researchers, technologists and design practitioners who are interested
in forming continuing collaborative links. We invite position papers
(2-6 pages) in Alt Chi format, from a range of areas as HCI, computer
and social sciences, music, and arts. Papers will be peer-viewed by at
least two members of an international programme committee.
