Dear all,
We would like to share the call for submissions to a 'Toolkits & Wearables'
themed workshop that will be held at CHI'22:

-- CHI'22 Workshop on Toolkits & Wearables: Developing Toolkits for
Exploring Wearable Designs --
Website: http://techfashion.design/wearable-toolkits
Submission Deadline: February 24, 2022

-- CALL --
Designing wearables is a complex task that includes many layers, such as
wearability, interactivity, functionality, social and cultural
considerations. For decades now, toolkits are proposed to aid users in the
design of smart accessories and garments. However, the task of designing
toolkits for wearables has not received a comprehensive discussion and
systematic reflection.

This one-day workshop gathers researchers and practitioners, who are
experienced with the design, use and evaluation of wearable toolkits. It
aims to provide a venue to discuss specific challenges, opportunities, and
lessons learned around developing and evaluating toolkits for wearables.
What are the challenges while designing toolkits for particular audiences
(i.e., designers, engineers, makers)? In what ways do the toolkits help
individuals in design processes? How do toolkits impact the outcoming
designs? How should we evaluate them?

We invite candidates to submit a 500-word abstract and a complementing
poster. The submission should highlight the toolkits, their audiences and
purposes in the design process, and share reflections on using and/or
evaluating the toolkits for designing wearables. The poster and the
abstract should be compiled in one PDF and submitted through Easy Chair (
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=towear2022#
<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=towear2022>).  They will be
reviewed based on the relevance to the workshop theme and potential for
contributing to discussions. The accepted submissions will be available
online through the workshop website(
http://techfashion.design/wearable-toolkits).

The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid format (both in-person and
virtual). At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the
workshop and all participants must register for both the workshop and for
at least one day of the conference.
