    <full-description>An inherit problem of current mobile devices are their limited output and input capabilities. This workshop continues a successful series of workshops that focus on new approaches to overcome these issues. Examples are the usage of external visual interfaces (e.g. projector phones, public displays, interactive surfaces) and additional input capabilities (e.g. gestures, on-body interfaces, pointing) and innovative feedback mechanisms (e.g. tactile feedback). The workshop combines technical presentations with the presentation of prototypes and focused discussions to drive interaction between participants.

Topics
-------
Topics of the workshop are applications, interaction techniques, frameworks, and user studies in the area of mobile interaction with the real world. Possible research themes include (but are not limited to):
* Extending the user interface beyond the mobile device
* Mobile interaction with real world objects and smart objects
* Wearable computing and wearable input devices
* Multimodal interaction techniques using mobile phones
* Augmented and mixed reality on mobile devices
* Interaction techniques using external displays, projector phones or floor displays
* Using mobile device's sensors for pervasive applications
* Novel interfaces for conveying spatial information
* Pervasive interaction metaphors
* Guidelines and standards for mobile interactions with the real world
* Interaction techniques using multiple mobile devices
* Support of knowledge processes and collaboration through mobile and wearable technologies
