[ecrea] CHI 2018 workshop: Reshaping Touch Communication

Wed Jan 10 21:58:21 GMT 2018






Submissions are invited for “Reshaping Touch Communication: An Interdisciplinary Research Agenda”. This one-day workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and designers to examine new forms of touch communication enabled by digital touch technologies, address critical questions and challenges for HCI, reshape future research agendas, and build a cross disciplinary community that fosters subsequent collaboration.

Through group discussion the workshop will explore three key themes: touch and sensory embodiment; affective communication; and ethical and methodological challenges in HCI design to explore digital touch in different contexts (e.g. health, wellbeing, personal relationships, work and leisure). It will provide opportunities to share ongoing work, with a view towards setting an interdisciplinary research agenda for digital touch communication that effectively integrates technology progression with robust interrogation of societal implications of digital touch.

Submission details

2-4 page position papers in CHI Extended Abstract format (https://chi2018.acm.org/chi-proceedings-format/) should be sent to (intouchucl /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(intouchucl /at/ gmail.com)> by 2 February 2018. Papers must outline authors’ research or technical development around digital touch communication, together with key research questions, methodological and/or ethical challenges that arise in their work. Submissions should go beyond touch screens to include other forms of sensory interfaces.

Selection criteria

Submissions will be selected on overall quality and relevance to the themes, innovativeness, ethical and/or methodological reflexivity, and where possible from a range of disciplines, technologies and/or user contexts. (Notifications: 22 February 2018)

Additional requirements

All workshop participants must register for both the workshop and at least one day of main CHI 2018 conference. Position papers will be published on intouchchi.wordpress.com <http://intouchchi.wordpress.com> in advance of the workshop.
