The conference will be held 23 - 26 January, in Funchal,
Madeira, Portugal. New ideas, smart people, nice place, &
good food.
Work presented at TEI addresses HCI issues, design, interactive
art, user experience, tools and technologies, with a strong
focus on how computing can finally bridge atoms and bits into
cohesive interactive systems. The intimate size of this
single-track conference provides a unique forum for exchanging
ideas and presenting innovative work through talks, interactive
exhibits, demos, hands-on studios, posters, art installations
and performances. The peer-reviewed technical program
comprises talks, interactive demonstrations, and posters on
tangible interaction. A juried Art
Explorations track comprises tangibly interactive art and
performance; and a design challenge will feature team designs
responding to the
Superhero Costume challenge. A variety of hands-on
Studios will take place the first day of the conference, Sunday,
January 23.
