----------------------------------------------------------------------

Computing is progressively moving beyond the desktop into new physical and
social contexts. One key area of innovation has been around tangible
computing, which pushes the user interface beyond the digital into the
physical world. This includes work on tangible interfaces, graspable
interfaces, physical computing, and interactive surfaces. A closely related
topic is that of embedded interaction where the everyday objects and
environments we interact with are computationally augmented in new ways.
Designing such systems requires interdisciplinary thinking. Their creation
must not only encompass software, electronics, and mechanics, but also the
system's physical form and behaviour, as well as its social impacts.

After the big success of TEI'07 and TEI'08 we are pleased to announce the
third international conference dedicated to presenting the latest results in
tangible and embedded interaction. We invite submissions of work addressing
HCI issues, design, user experience, tools and technologies, as well as
interactive art in the broad area of tangible computing and embedded
interactive systems. The intimate size of this single-track conference
provides a unique forum for exchange of ideas through talks, interactive
exhibits, demos, posters, art installations and performances. All accepted
submissions will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be
published through the ACM Digital Library.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

TOPICS FOR SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit high-quality original work to advance the
field. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to:

*     Examples of novel tangible interfaces or embedded interactive systems
*     Case studies and evaluations of working deployments
*     Relation of tangible and embedded interaction to other paradigms
*     Programming paradigms and tools, toolkits, software architectures
*     Novel enabling technologies
*     Interactive uses of sensors and actuators, and electronics and
mechatronics
*     Design guidelines and methods
*     Applied design in the form of concept sketches, prototypes and
products
*     Novel applications
*     Theoretical foundations, frameworks, and concepts
*     Philosophical, ethical and social implications
*     Usability
*     Provocative design work and interactive art
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Authors are invited to submit papers that are 2, 4, 6 or 8 pages long,
formatted to follow the two column ACM SIGCHI format. We are happy to
consider a variety of styles for inclusion in the proceedings, such as
academic papers, design sketches and descriptions of art pieces or
installations. All accepted submissions will be included in the conference
proceedings, which will be published through the ACM Digital Library.

At the time of submission, authors will be able to specify their preferred
format for presenting the work, which includes:

*     15 minute talk
*     5 minute talk
*     Poster
*     Interactive demo
*     Exhibit
*     Installation

We anticipate a large volume of submissions this year, but the timeslots
available for talks (and space available for demos and exhibits) will be
limited by necessity. In order to be help the program committee to include
as much interesting work as possible, authors will also be able to specify
whether they would be happy to present their work in a format other than
their preferred format.

Submissions will be peer reviewed in a double-blind process: please
anonymize your submission. In case of acceptance, at least one author must
register before the early registration deadline for the conference in order
for the final paper version to be published in the conference proceedings.
