First call for papers
Third International Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design
September 15-16 2008 in Jyväskylä, Finland
Provisional Deadline for full paper submissions - 30th April 2008
Overview
Technologies to enable multimodal interaction are
now sufficiently mature that research is turning
away from pure hardware development and looking
towards interaction and design issues to improve
usability and the user experience. Robust
solutions exist to display audio and haptic
feedback in many forms - for instance as speech
and non speech sounds and through tactile and
force feedback sensations. Furthermore, it has
been demonstrated that the novel interactions
supported by these modalities can confer benefits
for all users. However, many questions remain
concerning the appropriate use of haptics and
audio in interaction design. These questions are
related to design methods, appropriate
application areas and the integration of haptics
and audio, possibly with other modalities.
HAID'08, the third in a series of workshops
inaugurated in Glasgow in 2006 and continued in
Seoul in 2007, will bring together researchers
and practitioners who share an interest in
finding out how the haptic and audio modalities
can be used together in human computer
interaction. The research challenges in the area
are best approached through user-centred design,
empirical studies or the development of novel
theoretical frameworks. HAID'08 seeks
contributions from all these perspectives.
In particular we highlight two themes. The first
is fundamental conceptual analysis and
contributions to theoretical models. Such
developments are currently required to
constructively explain the characteristics of
haptic and audio based interaction and how to
best integrate these two modalities. The second
is situated field evaluations. Mobile
applications are a key domain for haptic and
audio interaction, but the utility of traditional
lab-based studies in such scenarios is in doubt.
It is unclear whether interfaces which work well
in the lab are suitable for use in everyday life.
Contributions addressing these two issues are especially encouraged.
Topics
Contributions are welcomed in (but not limited
to) the following areas (please note that in all
of these areas both theoretical and empirical approaches are encouraged):
- Novel haptic, audio and multimodal interfaces and interactions
- Evaluating multimodal interactions, especially in real contexts
- Design principles for multimodal user-interfaces
- Multimodal visualisations
- Affective roles of haptics and audio in interaction
- Cross-modal interactions
- Auditory and haptic displays for visually impaired people
- Safety critical multimodal applications (monitoring, controlling, alarming)
- Designing haptics and audio for touch screen
- Multimodal gaming and entertainment
- Interaction in physical exercise
- Collaborative multimodal systems
- Mobile multimodal interactions
- Emulation and simulation of real world with audio-haptic design
- Novel systems and interactions using other modalities (e.g. taste, smell)
Publication
The proceedings will be published by Springer in their LNCS journal series.
