AVI2CH 20 Advanced Visual Interfaces and Interactions in Cultural
Heritage -
call for papers
http://avi2ch-20.di.unito.it/index.html
The rapid development of ICT and the Internet has enabled CH
institutions to
provide access to their collections in multiple various ways, both
onsite
and online, and to attract even wider audiences than those that
visit the
physical museums. In parallel and part of the above, there is an
enormous
growth in user interfaces and in information visualization
technologies. The
range of interfaces is growing by the day - from tiny smart watch
screens to
wall-size large public displays. Regarding virtual advanced
interfaces,
there are several successful examples, for instance, applications
of 3D
technologies for virtual museums.
The use of (web) 3D in cultural heritage promotion allows the
general public
to live immersive experiences in virtual, reconstructed locations,
like
ancient towns and locations, and to visit existent, but remotely
located
locations, such as world-wide cultural institutions (such as
Google Art
Project). For preservation purposes, web 3D provides scholars and
cultural
heritage professionals with a way to consult and maintain visual
repositories of real exhibits, with the possibility of
visualizing,
comparing and studying 3D digital equivalents of real artworks
physically
situated in different locations. Cultural heritage is one
challenging domain
of application for such novel ICT technology. CH is ubiquitous -
just look
around you.
There is an abundance of CH related information available, about
almost
every object we can think of. How can we access and enjoy this
information
in Ubiquitous Computing scenario? Advanced and natural
human-computer
interaction is a key factor in enabling access to cultural
heritage. Visual
interfaces, whether they are tiny mobile screens or large wall
mounted
displays, can all be part of a ubiquitous CH infrastructure, where
information can be personalized and displayed/projected, on
screens or
overlaid on real objects and advanced form of interaction could be
experimented with (e.g., gestural interaction, augmented
interaction, vocal
interaction, etc.).
Following the wealth of studies and publications in recent years
focusing on
exploring the potential of novel technology to enhance CH
experience, the
success of AVI-CH 2016 (that yielded a follow-up special issue
focused on
advances visual interfaces for cultural heritage), and considering
that 2018
has been declared the European Year of Cultural Heritage, the goal
of the
workshop is again to bring together researchers and practitioners
interested
in exploring the potential use of state-of-the-art advanced visual
interfaces in enhancing our daily cultural heritage experience.
Topics (of interest) include (but are not limited to):
. Adaptive and Context-Aware Interfaces
. Personalized User Interfaces
. Information Visualization Interface
. Metaphors Interfaces for e-Culture and e-Tourism
. Mobile Interaction
. Multimodal Interfaces
. (Multi) Sensory Interfaces
. (Multi) Touch Interaction User Interfaces for the Internet of
Things
. Virtual and Augmented Reality
. Gestural and Touchless Interaction
. Head-Mounted Displays
. Conversational Interfaces
. Human-Robot Interaction
