Sponsored by ACM's special interest groups on
computer-human interaction (SIGCHI) and computer graphics (SIGGRAPH),
UIST brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas
that include graphical & web user interfaces, tangible & ubiquitous
computing, very large & very small displays, pen-based & gestural
user interfaces, virtual & augmented reality, multimedia, new input &
output devices, and CSCW. The intimate size, the single track, and
comfortable surroundings make this symposium an ideal opportunity to
exchange research results and implementation experiences.
