[chisigmail] FW: Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design -- Call for Participation

[David McGookin]

First International Workshop on Haptic and Audio Interaction Design
31st August  - 1st September 2006
University of Glasgow, Scotland

Call for Participation

Early Registration Finishes 31st July 2006

Keynote Talks by Hong Tan, Purdue University & Sile O'Modhrain, Queen's University Belfast.

Technologies to enable multimodal interaction have matured to a level that we can now think about design issues rather than just technology development or proofs of concept. Haptic (tactile and force-feedback), auditory (speech and non-speech) and multimodal interfaces provide novel methods for users to interact with computer systems. Such interactions can provide benefits for all users, with particular advantages for visually impaired people and mobile device users who might have limited access to standard visual displays. This workshop is part of the EPSRC funded MultiVis project (http://www.multivis.org), which is investigating non-visual visualisation.
