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.
