Workshop: Tangible Interaction & Cognition at OzCHI'16 (Nov 2016, Tasmania Australia)

Date: 29 November 2016
Location: Launceston, Tasmania, Australia
Website: Tangible HCI
Deadline for submissions: 26 August 2016

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working in the fields of tangible interaction and cognition to share their experiences of working on issues such as but not limited to embedded / embodied interaction, cognitive load, tangibles and education, the Internet of Things, and interaction design. The aim of the workshop is to generate discussion among participants of the issues faced by researchers working in tangible interaction and cognition. Workshop participants will adopt a hands-on approach to explore the potential of tangible interaction to further advance solutions to cognition-based issues. They will also draw on their own personal experiences to share insights and alternate perspectives of ways in which these two research fields stand to benefit from one another.

We invite interested researchers to submit a position paper about their work that addresses topics related to tangible interaction and cognition. Papers may be up to four pages in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format. All submissions should be sent in PDF format to tangiblecognition@gmail.com.
