CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The increasing popularity of mobile and wearable devices and the growing trend towards shopping as a leisure activity offer new opportunities for interaction in the retail domain. The Workshop on Mobile and Wearable Interactions in the Retail Domain (MWIR) brings together researchers and practitioners to jointly explore the field and to find out how mobile interactions need to be designed to be attractive to customers and retailers alike.

To apply for the workshop, we invite submissions of position papers in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format with a maximum length of 4 pages (not including bibliography). Position papers should address either previous work or future planned work in the broader scope of mobile interactions. Each participant will have 5 minutes for an oral presentation of their work.

Position papers will be juried by an expert committee. Participants will be selected according to the suitability of their research to contribute to the workshop outcome or the relevance of their workshop position paper. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop.

Given the current situation, the workshop will take place virtually. We are currently looking into engaging online formats for the workshop. As soon as more details are known, we will post them on the workshop webpage: https://mwir2020.innovative-retail.de/
