How will humans interact with the world around them?
Scalable Interaction Paradigms for Pervasive Computing Environments — a nationwide research programme on keeping interaction human as computing dissolves into our homes, public spaces and control rooms.
Three worlds where interaction must scale
Personal home space
Private, familiar, intimate — entertainment devices, visitors’ devices, and the home itself as a smart space.
Public smart space
Unfamiliar territory full of displays, cameras and sensors — shared with strangers, indoors and out.
Control spaces
Ensembles of devices jointly serving one professional, potentially safety-critical task.
“Being at home should not feel like being inside a computer.”
Design · Methods · Evaluation
Design
Interaction paradigms that can be understood, learned, and transferred across devices, situations and environments.
Methods
Scalable study methods — research in the large, simulation, and unsupervised sensor-based observation in the wild.
Evaluation
Metrics and models beyond effectiveness and efficiency — experience, acceptance, well-being at scale.
How will we interact with the world around us tomorrow?
Two days of talks, demos & discussion — September 22–23 at OFFIS, Oldenburg.
