From: Mark Billinghurst Subject: CFP: VRAIS 98 Workshop on Wearable Interfaces Date: Mon, 26 Jan 1998 18:16:08 -0800 Message-ID: <34CD4368.41C6@hitl.washington.edu> Organization: University of Washington This is a brief reminder about the workshop on Interfaces for Wearable Computers that will be held at the VRAIS 98 conference in Atlanta, Sunday March 15th. The goals of this workshop are to: Identify common problems and research directions in wearable interfaces. Discuss interface requirements for collaborative wearable applications. Identify promising research areas in the field of wearable interfaces. Publish a report summarizing the workshop findings. By presenting this workshop in the VRAIS setting it is hoped that the wearable/mobile computing community will benefit from the interface experience of the VR community and the VR community will be exposed to possible new research areas. You can attend the workshop as either a presentor or observer. Both with be able to participate fully in the workshop, but presentors will present a 5-10 minute position paper at the beginning of the workshop to stimulate discussion throughout the day. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own wearable/mobile computers to demonstrate innovative interface ideas. Attendees must register for the workshop on the VRAIS 98 website, http://tularosa.eece.unm.edu/eece/conf/vrais/, if you are also interested in participating as a presentor please email a two-page position statement in text format to vr-wear@media.mit.edu. Position statements should focus on interfaces for wearable computers and/or the use of wearable computers to support collaboration. Presentors will be selected on the basis of these statements. Please contact me if you have any questions about the workshop or need any further information.
