Sorry for cross posting.

Dear all,

We invite researchers and practitioners working in the field of interactive surfaces and spaces to submit workshop proposals for ACM ISS 2022, November 20-23 to be held In Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. ISS Workshops provide a unique opportunity to discuss ideas, challenges and new work around more specific topics in the area of interactive spaces and surfaces.

We welcome proposals from a large variety of topics and domains. Example topics include but are not limited to the topics of the conference:

  • Technical and theoretical concepts for interaction: 
    • Architectural concepts
    • Social aspects and protocols related to interacting with surfaces and spaces
    • Multi-modality
    • Interactive 3D spaces (Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality, mid-air displays, …)
    • Interactive architecture
    • Software engineering methods and frameworks
    • Interactive surfaces and spaces that support group work or social interaction
  • Interaction modalities: 
    • Multi-touch interaction with mobile devices
    • Large display interfaces and multi-display environments
    • Gesture-based interfaces (hands, finger, body)
    • Interaction paradigms around large surfaces (tangibles, pen+touch, etc.)
    • Multi-modal interfaces
    • Tangible user interfaces
    • Body-worn devices
    • Different materials and form factors: curved, sand, water, …
    • Large scale and outdoor interactive spaces (projected interfaces, drones, …)
  • Emerging trends: 
    • New and emerging body and space sensing technologies
    • Feel, taste, smell and splash user interfaces on surfaces
    • Novel interaction techniques and paradigms
    • Beyond traditional surfaces: shape-changing and actuated surfaces, body-related, …
  • Applicative domains: 
    • Immersive analytics and data physicalisation
    • Museum and art installation trends
    • Hardware, including sensing and input technologies with novel capabilities, and results from maker communities
  • Design, experimentation and evaluation: 
    • Evaluation methods for surface applications
    • Human-centered design and methodologies related to interactive surfaces and spaces
    • Empirical evaluations of novel interactive surfaces and/or spaces designs
    • Evaluations of deployed interactive surfaces and/or spaces in specific domains (public spaces, education, science, business, entertainment, health, art, homes, etc.)
  • …and other exciting topics!

Quick Overview

  • Proposals due July 1, 2022.
  • All workshops will take place on November 20, 2022.
  • Workshops can run for either half a day or the full day.
  • Workshops at ISS 2022 will be open and inclusive. Attendance for all scheduled workshops will be open to all participants who choose to register.
  • The main conference registration includes workshops, however, there will also be an option to register for workshops only, without registering for the full conference.
  • Workshops will be hybrid, with registration open to people attending both in-person and online.
  • Accepted workshop proposals will be published as part of the ISS conference proceedings and available in the ACM Digital Library.

Submitting a Workshop Proposal

We request a short workshop proposal (up to 4 pages, excluding references). Please format your submission using the single-column ACM Master Article Submission Template.

Please include the following information in your 4-page workshop proposal:

  • Workshop title
  • Proposed workshop length (half-day or full-day)
  • Full contact information of all workshop organisers and the main contact person
  • Topic, nature and goals of the workshop
  • Relevance of the workshop to the ISS community
  • Topics and planned activities covered in the workshop
  • A description of how the organisers plan to handle the online aspects of the workshop
    • Given the situation with COVID-19, ISS 2022 will be hybrid (including both online and on site participation)
    • Please indicate how you aim to facilitate and support an engaging workshop in a hybrid, synchronous format
    • Example tools that could be used to facilitate online brainstorming include: Mural, Miro

Please submit the workshop proposal using the PCS Submission System system by July 1, 2022.

Workshop Co-Chairs:
Barrett Ens, Monash University, Australia
Anusha Withana, University of Sydney, Australia
