2006-10-18 Dan's succeeded in creating a fantastic introduction and overview of our discipline of interaction design. People are encouraged to participate in this discussion, and I know there are many of you with keen insights and thoughtful ideas that would greatly contribute. The open discussion will go on for the next week, until Tuesday October 17. Offsite (non-WELL member) readers with questions or comments may send them to inkwell@well.com to have them added to the conversation. About The WELL The WELL is a cherished and acclaimed destination for conversation and discussion. For twenty years it has captivated intelligent, creative people. It is widely known as the primordial ooze where the online community movement was born — where Howard Rheingold first coined the term "virtual community." Over the last two decades, it's been described as "the world's most influential online community" in a Wired Magazine cover story, and "the Park Place of email addresses" by John Perry Barlow. It's won Dvorak and Webby Awards, inspired songs and novels, and almost invisibly influences modern culture. Now run by Salon Media Group, independent publishers of the ground-breaking Salon.com online news magazine, The WELL continues to cast a long cultural shadow. For many people it's the place you aren't quite sure you've heard of, but may just wish you had. For members, it's a place to come up with the next interesting thing and a way to live. Hope to see you there!

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 Important Dates --------------- * Monday May 4, 2009 - Submission Deadline * Friday May 18, 2009 - Acceptance Notification * Tuesday June 23, 2009 - Revised Manuscript Due * Tuesday September 15, 2009 - Workshop Date 674 Germany The 4th MIRW workshop invites papers which focus on new mobile and wearable input and output interfaces which allow simpler and straightforward interactions with mobile services and applications. 2009-09-15 false http://mirw09.offis.de http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/674 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/674/logo-quad.png evaluation, experience, hci, interface, mobile, mobile device, mobile interaction, nfc, pervasive, phone, projector phone, real world, smart objects, ubiquitous, user study Berkeley USA 2009-10-31 :: ACM CREATIVITY & COGNITION 2009 :: Everyday Creativity: Shared Languages and Collective Action October 27-30, 2009, Berkeley Art Museum, CA, USA :: KEYNOTE SPEAKERS :: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Professor of Psychology & Management, Claremont Graduate University, USA JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, Director, Allosphere Research Laboratory, California Nanosystems Institute, USA Jane Prophet, Professor of Interdisciplinary Computing, Goldsmiths University of London, UK ----------------------------------------------------------- :: CALL FOR PARTICIPATION :: Full Papers, Art Exhibition, Live Performances, Demonstrations, Posters, Workshops, Tutorials, Graduate Symposium Submission deadline: April 24, 2009 Creativity is present in all we do.

Short for "Good Experience Live", Gel is a conference, and community, exploring good experience in all its forms -- in business, technology, art, society, and life. Instead of focusing on just one thing (design, technology, user experience, business, etc.) like many conferences, Gel touches on many things.

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘HCI research, innovation and implementation’. The conference shall take place on 23 June 2011 in Arnhem at the site of the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN). With this edition, Chi Sparks emphasizes the contribution of good HCI research in realizing successful, innovative, products, systems or services for organizations or businesses. These can be tangible products or (web-based) systems ranging from child toys to large scale industrial automation systems; applications that have a genuine impact on people’s lives and work or society in general. Bachelor and Master students, PhD-candidates, researchers, academics and professors can submit their contribution to the conference to submission@chi-sparks.nl, before the 18th of April 2011. We also invite businesses active in the area of HCI to contribute to the conference, in this way emphasizing the importance of HCI research in product development. At Chi Sparks theory and practice not only meet, but also augment each other. Contributions can be in the format of full or short papers, posters, cases from practice in education or business. Additionally, interactive installations and demonstrations get the ability to step into the spotlight at Chi Sparks. All details on how to contribute can be found in the Call for Participation and the Submission Guidelines and Formats. For all additional questions, do not hesitate to contact submission@chi-sparks.nl All submissions will be evaluated by a team of carefully selected reviewers, supervised by the board of reviewers consisting of Dick Lenior, Janienke Sturm and Ingrid Mulder. We look forward to your submissions and registrations! 1559 Netherlands Chi Nederland 14th conference: ‘HCI research, innovation and implementation’ 2011-06-23 false http://chi-sparks.nl/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/1559 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/1559/banner-w180h150.jpg hci, human computer interaction, research London United Kingdom 2011-12-01 Web Usability training course content This one day Web Usability training course provides delegates with practical examples, comprehensive notes, guidelines and sources of reference.
