Workshops, Tutorials and Studios

We are delighted to present the following seven pre-conference events, which will take place on Sunday, Nov 15. For submissions to the individual events, please consult the respective websites as soon as available!


WORKSHOP
Collaboration Meets Interactive Surfaces (CMIS): Walls, Tables, Mobiles, and Wearables

Organizers: Craig Anslow, Laurent Grisoni, Pedro Campos, Andrés Lucero
Info:

The Third International CMIS Workshop proposes to bring together researchers who are interested in improving collaborative experiences through the combination of multiple interaction surfaces with diverse sizes and formats ranging from large-scale walls, tabletops, mobiles, to wearables.

Program

WORKSHOP
MULTIsensory Interaction and Assistive Technology feasibility and effectiveness (MULTI-AT)

Organizers: Luca Brayda, Andrea Serino, Elisabeth Wilhelm, Marc Macé
Info:

A workshop dedicated to scientists working on multisensory perception and related methodologies, to technologists and engineers interested in investigating alternative solutions for multisensory stimulation and to clinicians interested in developing new therapeutic strategies based on novel interfaces.

WORKSHOP
Cross-Surface: Workshop on Interacting with Multi-Device Ecologies in the Wild

Organizers: Steven Houben, Jo Vermeulen, Clemens Klokmose, Nicolai Marquardt, Johannes Schöning, Harald Reiterer
Info:

Cross-Surface 2015 is the first international workshop on interacting with multi-device ecologies “in the wild”. In this workshop, we will review and discuss opportunities, technical challenges and problems with cross-device interactions in real-world interactive multi-surface and multi-device ecologies.

WORKSHOP
Visual Data Exploration on Interactive Surfaces (DEXIS)

Organizers: Petra Isenberg, Bongshin Lee, Alark Joshi, Tobias Isenberg
Info:

Situated at the intersection of Visualization and Interactive Surfaces, DEXIS 2015 aims to discuss and advance the state-of-the-art in interactive visual data exploration.

WORKSHOP
Shared Infrastructures for Tangible Tabletops & Interactive Surfaces

Organizers: Martin Kaltenbrunner, Florian Echtler
Info:

Gathering researchers and practitioners that are interested in the standardiziation of software and hardware interfaces in the ITS context.

WORKSHOP
Interaction Techniques for Wall-Sized Screens

Organizers: Lars Lischke, Jurgen Gruninger, Khalil Klouche, Albrecht Schmidt, Philipp Slusallek, Giulio Jacucci
Info:

As wall-sized screens will become commonplace in the next years, we want to bring researchers together to identify research gaps and to discuss how to design successful interaction concepts.

WORKSHOP
Architecting Collaborative Learning Places

Organizers: Edward Tse, Ahmed Kharrufa, Emma Mercier, Cresencia Fong
Info:

This workshop aims to connect the expertise of the ITS community with the domains of educational pedagogy and practice. The goal is to identify and explore challenges in Architecting Collaborative Learning Places.
