University students, researchers and practitioners are invited to propose a talk (and optional demo) of their research or organise a workshop in the field of Tangible Interaction.
Contributions are required to address the field of Tangible Interaction. The overall topic of ETIS 2024 is “Tangible Interaction: Strengthening Community and Place” and we particularly welcome submissions that directly address this area, for example:
Enhancing Social Fabric: tangible interactions to cultivate stronger connections within communities, promoting a sense of belonging and mutual support.
Maximising Local Green Spaces: tangible ways to revitalise and maintain green areas, fostering a healthier environment and enhancing overall community well-being.
Empowering Community Inclusivity: tangible interactions to empower the community to take the lead in shaping their neighbourhoods to meet the diverse needs of residents.
Resilience Building: tangible interactions that will fortify communities against external shocks, both natural and societal, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Safety and Health Promotion: tangible interactions/ environments that prioritise the safety and well-being of residents, fostering a culture of physical and mental health.
Submissions are also welcome from other areas of interest, including (but not limited to):
- Green IT
- Sustainability of tangible interfaces
- Future materials
- Internet of things
- Data Physicalization
- Shape changing interfaces
- Tangible Artificial Intelligence
- Multimodality
- Virtual Reality and Physical Props
- Tangible touch
- Education
- Cultural Heritage
- Health & Accessibility
Submission Deadline: 19th February 2024
Notification of Acceptance: 25th March 2024
Final version of papers due: 17th April 2024
Paper, poster and workshop submission on easychair
If you would like to be kept informed more generally please contact: etis@cardiffmet.ac.uk
Oral presentations (and demos)
Short papers (maximum 5 pages excluding references) for oral presentation (with optional demo) have to be submitted through EasyChair – full details coming soon.
We welcome submissions in the form of theoretical foundations and frameworks of Tangibles User Interface (TUI); design guidelines and methods; prototypes, tools and toolkits for TUI; design cases, and TUI applications in different domains.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by ETIS Scientific Committee and selected by relevance with regard to tangible interaction, quality of research, and potential to provoke discussions during the meeting. Selected contributions will be published in ETIS proceedings (details TBC).
Reviews are single-blind, so submissions should provide the names and affiliations of the authors. You can submit previous work if the copyright allows it, and accepted work at ETIS may be resubmitted to other venues.
Workshop Proposals
ETIS’24 invites proposals for half-day (4h) or one day workshop activities (2*4h)m.
The “Tangible Interaction: Strengthening Community and Place” workshops will offer researchers a unique opportunity to work with the Blaenau Gwent community whilst immersing themselves in the materials, methods, and processes pivotal to tangible interaction practice and research. The aim is to inspire (through tangible interactions) positive change and empower individuals to play an active role in building stronger communities for the future. The main themes include enhancing the social fabric of communities, optimising local green spaces, nurturing community inclusivity, and building resilient, safe, and healthy neighbourhoods. This workshop will offer a valuable platform for researchers and Blaenau Gwent community members to come together and explore the intricacies of tangible interaction for the enhancement of the Blaenau Gwent community.
The proposal should provide information on the following aspects:
- Background: Provide a rationale for the workshop, describe the issues to be addressed, and state concrete goals for the workshop.
- Organisers: Present the organisers’ backgrounds, including the main contact person.
- Workshop Structure: Explain the workshop structure, including activities, timing, and resources.
- Post-Workshop Plans: optionally state your plans for follow-up and creation of outcomes (e.g., poster presentation, publication of a workshop report, plans for a special issue of a journal, creation of a working group or mailing list).
- Specify the material you need (audiovisual equipment and (digital) fabrication tools, electronic workshops, etc.)
- How many people can participate (min and max)?
- References: Please add any relevant references. References do not count to the page limit.
Information on submission coming shortly.
