> *************** Call for Papers ***************
>
> In the ubiquitous computing era, where people can seamlessly access
> with huge quantity of digital information, most interactions are still
> performed through graphical user interfaces, which limit the number of
> human senses and abilities involved. This workshop aims at discussing
> the rich possibilities that the body offers us to experience the
> external world and the prospects that arise for the interaction
> designers when these often-neglected abilities are taken into account.
> In particular, the workshop will focus on the rediscovery of the five
> senses, either alone or in a multimodal combination, and of the
> perceptual-motor abilities of our body. We encourage the participation
> of young practitioners but also more experienced researchers from
> different backgrounds (design, engineering, computing, arts, social
> sciences, neurosciences, ergonomics, etc.), with previous experience
> in multisensory interaction, full-body interaction or embodied
> cognition. Following the success of the first BodySenseUX workshops at
> UbiComp’15 and TEI’16, this will be a one-day or half-day* workshop of
> discussions and hands-on activities, focused on physically
> experiencing our body and senses. At the beginning of the workshop,
> participants will have the possibility to briefly present and discuss
> with the other attendees their research. During the next phases of the
> workshop, participants will have the possibilities to explore and
> rediscover their sensorimotor abilities through several exercises and
> games. Interdisciplinary groups will be challenged to design and
> develop new interaction experience concepts using our natural ‘tools’
> as prototyping tools. Ready-to-use prototyping materials will be provided.
