| SPECIAL ISSUE ON “Gaze Control for Work and Play”
in Association with COGAIN |
| EDITED BY John Paulin Hansen, Fiona Mulvey, Martin Böhme | | | CALL FOR PAPERS - November 7 2008 |
| [download .pdf] | | | | 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 built on work presented at a COGAIN conference or not. The focus of the special issue will be gaze control in human-computer interaction, both for occupational 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-based environmental control systems
• Gaze-controlled games Manuscripts that do not fall into one of these categories but nonetheless 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 suitable for disabled and able-bodied users alike. Submission procedure Submissions should be .doc files, sent in electronic form to both articles (at) psychnology.org and boehme (at) cogain.org mentioning in the subject: “Submission to Gaze Control special issue”. Formatting guidelines and other relevant information for authors are available at http://www.psychnology.org/255.php. Manuscripts must be unpublished and also not currently under review/submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be thoroughly reviewed in a double blind process. Important dates Submission Deadline: 7 November 2008
Notification of Acceptance: 20 February 2009
Revised Copy due: 15 April 2009
