Map-Based Social Interaction
[Vol 6 n3] Edited by:
Augusto Celentano, Piero Mussio and Fabio Pittarello

| Mixed realities in the urban environment
[Vol 6 n2]
Edited by:
Rod McCall, Giulio Jacucci, Wolfgang Broll
Deadline: Closed
Urban mixed realities represent a growing and exciting area of research, which requires new ways of thinking about issues such as usability, place and presence. Urban situations are dynamic and can change rapidly, with a vast array of complex and exciting rhythms. They cover a whole spectrum of complex and chaotic happenings which span organisational and material configurations. These characteristics are both challenges and motivations for exploring mixed reality technology solutions, in particular with respect to finding ways to improve the ways in which participants can relate to the environment and to others.

Gaze Control for Work and Play
Edited by:
Martin Boehme, University of Luebeck
John-Paulin Hansen, IT University of Copenhagen
Fiona Mulvey, Technical University of Dresden
Deadline: November 7 2008
PsychNology invites authors to submit papers for a special issue on Gaze Control for Work and Play. This special issue follows the COGAIN 2007 and 2008 conferences (see www.cogain.org), but we welcome all contributions, whether they build on work presented at a COGAIN conference or not. The focus of the special issue will be on gaze control, both for “serious” applications (“work”) as well as for entertainment (“play”). Areas relevant to the special issue include:
• Eye typing
• Gaze-controlled menus
• Gaze control for graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
• Gaze control for wheelchairs
• Gaze-controlled games
Manuscripts that do not fall in one of these particular areas but follow the general theme of the special issue are also welcome. Gaze control is of particular value for those who cannot use more conventional forms of control, such as a keyboard, mouse, or wheelchair joystick. However, we also encourage submissions on mainstream applications of gaze control that are suitable for disabled and able-bodied users alike. [...read more] DOWNLOAD.pdf |
