Subject: Haptic and Audio Interaction Design (HAID): Deadline extension until June 20 From: Sofia Dahl <sof@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 22:45:09 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>(Apologies for cross postings) The deadline for posters and demos to HAID 2010 has been EXTENDED to JUNE 20, 2010. Fifth International Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design (HAID) www.media.aau.dk/haid10 . September 16-17 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The program committee are pleased of the many interesting submissions but have also received some requests for an extension of the deadline. We have therefore decided to add a few extra weeks to give the opportunity to more authors to submit demos and posters. The aim of the poster session is to showcase work in progress or late breaking results relevant to any of the themes of the workshop. Submissions will be 2 page papers (see http://media.aau.dk/haid10/?page_id=5 for instructions on submission). Accepted submissions will be published by Aalborg university press with an ISBN number and authors are expected to bring a poster describing their work to HAID10. This year HAID will feature Søren Bech from Bang and Olufsen, Vincent Hayward from UPMC, France and Davide Rocchesso from IUAV, Italy as keynote speakers. 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: how can we design effective haptic, audio and multimodal interfaces? In what new application areas can we apply these techniques? Are there design methods that are useful? Or evaluation techniques that are particularly appropriate? HAID10 is a direct successor to the successful workshop series inaugurated in Glasgow in 2006, in Seoul in 2007, in Jyväskylä in 2008 and in Dresden in 2009. The aim of HAID10 is to 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. We invite your posters and demonstrations on these topics, and look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen in September 2010! 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.
