19th-22nd February 2012: TEI Conference in Kingston, Ontario, Canada

TEI 2012 is the sixth international conference dedicated to presenting

cutting edge research in tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction.

The work presented at TEI addresses design challenges, theories,

experiences, systems, and new developments, with specific emphasis on

all the physical aspects of human interaction with computing technology.

The intimate size of this single-track conference provides a unique

forum for exchanging ideas and presenting innovative work through talks,

interactive exhibits, demos, hands-on studios, posters, art

installations and performances. The theme of this year's conference is

"fold unfold". We particularly encourage submission on the theme of

Organic User Interfaces (OUI): user interfaces with non-flat, flexible

or actuated displays (http://www.organicui.org)

Research on tangible, embodied and embedded interaction has gained

substantial visibility and activity over the past decade, under many

different names and research topics and disciplines, including tangible

interfaces, graspable interfaces, physical computing, tangible

interaction, IT product design, appliance design and interactive spaces.

It has also been associated with larger research areas, including mixed,

virtual, and augmented reality and ubiquitous and pervasive computing.

TEI brings together this emerging field, providing a meeting ground for

the diverse communities of research and practice - from computing,

hardware, and sensor technology, to HCI, interaction design, and CSCW,

to product and industrial design and interactive arts. We invite

submissions from all these perspectives, theoretical, conceptual,

technical, applied, or artistic. The conference is designed to provide

appropriate presentation forms for different types of contributions.

Accepted submissions of all types will be included in the Proceedings as

papers and will be integrated within the single-track conference.

Interdisciplinary submissions are particularly welcome.

TOPICS for SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit high-quality work detailing original

research that contributes to advancing the field. Appropriate topics

include but are not limited to:

Case studies and evaluations of working deployments

Analysis of key challenges, proposals of research agenda

Relation of tangible and embedded interaction to other paradigms

Programming paradigms and tools, toolkits, software architectures

Novel interactive uses of sensors+actuators, electronics+mechatronics

Design guidelines, methods, and processes

Novel application areas, innovative systems, industrial applications

Theoretical foundations, frameworks, and concepts

Philosophical, ethical & social implications

Interfaces specific in form and context to particular cultures

Advantages, weakness, affordances of tangible, embedded and embodied

interaction

Learning from the role of physicality in everyday environments

Embodied interaction, movement, and choreography of interaction

Organic User Interfaces: flexible, non-flat or actuated display interfaces

Role of physicality for human perception, cognition and experience

Teaching experiences, lessons learned, and best practices

Standardization, production, and business applications

PAPERS

Papers must present original material and will be reviewed rigorously by

at least three reviewers in a double-blind process. Papers in all areas

will be assessed on their contribution to the field. Papers are due 1st

September 2011. Papers may be 2, 4 or 8 pages long in ACM SIGCHI format.

All papers will undergo the same review and publication process. The

length must match the contribution. Authors may propose the presentation

format that they feel best suits their contribution, which may include

multiple presentation forms (e.g. talk and demo). 8 page long papers

will be presented as talks. Short papers will be selected for

presentation as a talk, demonstration, or as a poster. Selected long or

short talks will be invited for demonstrations. TEI 2012 remains

committed to the principle followed in previous TEI conferences - that

TEI values all submissions equally.

One author of each accepted submission must register for the conference

before the early registration deadline in order for the final paper

version to be published in the conference proceedings. Papers will be

published in the ACM digital library. Please contact the program chairs

Ylva Fernaeus, Audrey Girouard and Sergi Jorda at

tei2012_programchairsgooglegroups.com with questions about paper

submissions.

PROPOSALS for STUDIOS

TEI 2012 also invites proposals for studios to be held in multiple

tracks on Tuesday, February 21st, 2012. Studios are participatory events

that offer novel practical experiences to conference attendees with

diverse skills and technical backgrounds. Studio topics can include the

exploration of new toolkits, prototype design techniques, and creative

applications of emerging or traditional materials. Studios can also

tackle more research-focused topics such new methodologies, emerging

application areas, and theoretical foundations. Studios should emphasize

making, building, creating and hacking. Organizers are encouraged to

arrange for later publications of a studio's creative output.Each studio

should aim to host between 10 and 15 participants. Studio proposals are

due 1st September 2012.Please contact the studio chairs Nick Graham and

Michael Horn at tei2012_studiochairsgooglegroups.comwith questions

about studios submissions.

EXPLORATIONS

TEI 2012 Explorations comprise several submission formats intended to

embrace and nurture contributions from a wide range of communities -

such as artists, designers and graduate students - as well as support

the publication of cutting edge research. TEI Explorations include the

Graduate Student Consortium and Art tracks as well as the Tangible

Interaction Design Challenge. The submission deadline for these tracks

is 1st November 2011; full details will be confirmed in subsequent CfPs.
