BodySenseUx'16
The 3rd Workshop on Full-Body and Multisensory Experience
in conjunction with UbiComp'16, September 12 or 13,* 2016, Heidelberg,
Germany*
Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/site/bodysenseux/home


*************** 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

«I have always tried to get easier. The maximum simplicity coincides with
the maximum fullness. The simplest means frees to the maximum of clarity
the gaze for the vision. And in the long run, only the simplest means is
convincing. Thus, it has always taken courage to be simple».
