Call for Participation for CHI'13 workshop on Experiencing Interactivity in Public Spaces (EIPS) Mobile and ubiquitous systems create opportunities for new kinds of interactivity in public spaces. This one-day workshop will bring together researchers, designers, practitioners and media artists to discuss new forms of experiences with publicly used interactive systems. We will discuss a broad sample of existing systems and prototypes, and issues related to user experiences in public spaces. We will have intensive group work sessions with both analytical and creative approaches. Paper submission deadline: January 11th, 2013 Notifications: February 8th, 2013 Workshop: *April 28th* in Paris Please visit EIPS workshop web site for more details: http://www.cs.tut.fi/ihte/EIPS_workshop_CHI13/ This workshop addresses the following issues: * Experiences with publicly used interactive systems - experienced by the users and spectators * Public interactions which invite other people to join and public interactions which are meant as private * Experiences of public interactivity with various modalities, e.g. bodily movements, gestures and speech * Social acceptance and social implications of interactivity in the public space; privacy * Community interaction and collaboration; multi-person interaction; ad-hoc community formation * Experiences with interactive media arts * Methodological issues of evaluating user experience in public spaces The results of the workshop will be an "experience design space" and a research agenda for experiences with interactive systems used in public spaces. These results will help set targets for future research, as well as provide focus for designing for experience with such systems.
