Call for Workshop Position Papers
MOBILE SPATIAL INTERACTION
A workshop in conjunction with CHI 2007 "Reach Beyond"
28 April 2007
San Jose, California, USA
Workshop website: http://msi.ftw.at =
CHI 2007 website: http://www.chi2007.org =
=
The use of geo-referenced information on the web has recently =
received increasing interest in the research community and =
the public. People use interactive maps to share their =
favorite places with others, and they use geo-browsing =
services for planning their vacation. Spatial information is =
even more useful in mobile situations, because it is directly =
related to the user's surroundings. This idea of "Mobile =
spatial interaction" (MSI) is becoming increasingly relevant, =
feasible and desired. Location and orientation sensing =
hardware is being integrated into a growing number of =
handsets and can be expected to be even more widespread in =
the near future. At the same time, geographic information =
systems and 3D models are becoming more sophisticated.
=
The workshop "Mobile Spatial Interaction" will aim to help =
researchers realize the vision of seamless and intuitive =
Mobile Spatial Interaction. The goal is to reach beyond the =
conventional model of location by creating a sense of space =
and orientation.
Original research results and concepts on the following =
topics are encouraged:
- Methods and ideas for the identification of application scenarios
- Modelling concepts for geo-spatial (end-user) content creation
- Conceptual designs and scenarios of spatially-aware interaction
techniques
- Outdoor testing methods for spatially aware applications
- Augmented/parallel reality concepts in gaming, arts, tourism, etc
- Location/orientation sensing technologies and migration =
paths from legacy to state-of-the-art technology
- Mobile social applications and services involving the =
interaction with information created by other users
- Indoor navigation and spatial awareness
- Practicality and feasibility issues regarding =
technologies, application design and data modeling.
- Combination of spatial interaction with gesture-based interaction
- Dealing with sensor uncertainty e.g. what happens when GPS shadows
occur or there is less accurate wireless transmitter triangulation?
- Multimodal integration, e.g. by adding spatial audio, touch, or scent
Please note that the workshop focuses on interactions with =
information attached to the surrounding space. Pure gestural =
interaction with a device is therefore explicitly excluded =
from the scope of this workshop.
The intention is to bring together researchers and =
practitioners from areas as diverse as: mobile application =
design: geographic information systems, geodesy and =
geoinformatics: pervasive game design: communications theory =
and social software design: experimental hardware =
prototyping: commercial device manufacturing: psychology of =
spatial perception: semantic systems and natural language =
processing: marketing: multimedia arts: tourism and cultural =
heritage: information visualization and sonification: spatial =
audio: and augmented reality.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Interested individuals should submit a 2-4 page position =
paper in the CHI extended abstracts format =
(http://www.chi2007.org/submit/eaformat.php) by 12 January to =
the following Email address: MSI_submissions@ftw.at It is =
planned to publish revised versions of selected papers in a =
special journal issue such as Personal and Ubiquitous Computing.
=
IMPORTANT DATES
- 12 January 2007, 5:00 PM (1700) PDT: Submission deadline =
for position papers
- 1 February 2007: Acceptance notification
- 9 April 2007: Workshop registration deadline.
- 28 April 2007: Workshop Held
