2nd Workshop on INTERFACE AND EXPERIENCE DESIGN
WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGNECE AND AI/VR (DAIVAR)

- 10th-12th December 2018
- Taichung, Taiwan
- Submission Deadline: 14th October 2018
- Website: http://www.artur-lugmayr.com/activities/current-activities/daivar2018/ - Submission System: http://www.ambientmediaassociation.org/Submissions/2018DAIVAR/
- Workshop proceedings published in an Scopus indexed proceedings series
- Best papers will be published as edited book, or journal special issue
======================================================================================================================
The objective of this workshop is to invite scholars and practitioners to discuss synergies between interface and
experience design in artificial intelligent reality virtual and augmented environments. The aim is to gather a cross-
disciplinary team of contributors researching HCI related issues contributing to this fascinating newly emerging
domain. We especially seek contributions from experts with a background in computer science, HCI,
psychology/cognitive sciences, culture/communication studies, design and art to develop this fascinating
intersection. Aspects can range from user-experience, technologies supporting end-users, practical applications,
methods, content production, cultural implications, communication theories, up to more artistic approaches in
artificial intelligent interaction.
While AI's main aim is to replicate human intelligence, AR and VR focuses its research efforts on the creation of
artificial worlds either in complete virtual world, or as part of our physical environment. Many examples that bridge
the two fields have emerged recently, e.g. intelligence in digital games and the utilization of computer graphics
hardware for deep learning and AI. Philosophical discussions around issues arising in this new area range from ideas
when things start to think to Alan Turing's work. In this workshop, we would like to raise a question: what would
happen when artificial worlds start to think, and how we humans can interact and communicate with AI through e.g.
affective interfaces? Thus, while AI and VR/AR went rather distinct research pathways, we attempt to bring them
together, and discuss different aspects at the intersection of machine intelligence and human interaction in a mixed
reality.
The workshop intends to attract a broad range of contributions to develop this scholarly field during a full day venue.
As the emphasis is on creating the synergy between VR/AR and AI/ML, we are not limited to particular areas; instead,
the following exemplary topics might help to gather ideas for a possible contribution: affective and emotional
computation, communication with AI, digital game analytics, utilization of computer graphics hardware for deep
learning, personalization and recommender systems, UX with agents and physical robots, cultural robotics, or AI in
information visualization.
The workshop program stretches over a full-day, and will contain a combination of invited keynote presentations,
oral presentations, posters, and demonstrations.
The workshop proceedings will be published in a Scopus indexed proceedings series, and the very best contribution
will be published in an edited book from a highly reputable publisher which has been pre-arranged. Depending on
the quality and amount of contributions, we are also considering to publish a journal special issue within an indexed
publisher.
