Submission is now closed. We invited submissions in various categories; for the full list and instructions see the submissions page or download the call for participation. There are many ways to cut each category – theories, practice, novel interaction paradigms, and so on - our aim is to bring together different points of view on each topic for lively and coherent discussion at the conference.
- Enthralling experiences – what draws people in?
Performance, aesthetics, emotion, and creativity: powerful engagement can be a means or an end.
- Interactions in the wild – how does technology breach boundaries?
The borders between management, chaos and control change as interactions leave the desktop and go mobile.
- Connecting with others – what happens around and through technology?
Interacting with colleagues and friends is helped and hindered by the connecting technology.
- Mind, body, and spirit – how does diversity impact?
People are different so interactions should span age, ability, culture and gender.
- Interactions for me – what improves my experience?
Technology can be dehumanising but it can also improve working and social life enormously.
- At the periphery – how can ambience engage?
Disappearing technologies - such as ubicomp, mixed media, and ambient intelligence - still engage us even though we can’t directly interact with them.
HCI 2006: Engage will be hosted by Queen Mary, University of London drawing on the eclectic mix of communities and practises of the East End of London to inspire an inter-disciplinary meeting of minds.
