Workshop at CHI 2007, San Jose, CA, USA, April 2007
San Jose Convention Center, Sunday April 29, 9:00 am - 5:30 pm
Exertion Interfaces are interfaces that deliberately require intense physical effort. They can be expected to be physically exhausting when used for an extended period of time, and are therefore working in the opposite direction of most conventional interfaces that aim for ease of use and efficient operation. However, recent research has shown that physical, exhausting interfaces can be beneficial for fighting personal weight problems, encouraging social interaction between participants and allowing for new gaming experiences.
This one-day CHI'07 workshop will have three primary goals: (1) to share information among researchers and industry practitioners interested in this area, (2) to identify trends in this area and (3) to discuss evaluative measures and their applicability to this domain. One possible additional outcome of the workshop could be a conceptual statement paper or a co-edited book on the state of the art in this area.
How to participate:
Send a position paper of 3(!) pages max. to workshopCHI2007 at exertioninterfaces.com describing your research interest and your relevant work in this area. It must be prepared in the Conference Extended Abstracts Format. Selection criteria will include participants' backgrounds and interests and quality of the work described in the position papers.
