*************** 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.
_People interested in participating to the workshop are kindly requested
to send an expression of interest to __fullbodysenseux (at) gmail (dot)
com, specifying if they would like to submit a paper or only to attend
the workshop*
