Introduction

 

Sound plays an increasingly varied and vital role in mobile and ubiquitous user interaction. One reason is the limited screen real-estate available in typical mobile devices. Another reason is that many mobile devices are used in minimal attention situations. These are situations in which the user has only limited attention available for the interface: the user's eyes may be busy elsewhere; and the user may be busy avoiding the normal hazards of moving around, and engaging with real-world tasks. In many circumstances, such interactions will involve non-speech audio and gesture to afford natural means of access to information, to other people, and to services and situations in the environment.

 

A complementary set of issues concerns Mobile HCI and Music. Mobile interaction technologies will create new opportunities for musicians to compose and perform music on the move and away from studios and concert halls, including in new shared ways. The new technology will also create opportunities for listeners; for new approaches to music education, and for the spontaneous sharing of music by all. The workshop will actively seek to benefit from cross fertilisation between researchers involved in both areas. The workshop will seek to gather researchers from a variety of disciplines, to examine challenges, issues, problems, principles, findings, new applications and demonstrations related to Mobile HCI and Sound.

 

Topics

 

Topics of interest will include, but not be limited to:

 

á      Sound as an interaction element in minimal attention interfaces

á      Spatial sound in mobile HCI

á      Auditory displays in mobile & ubiquitous user interaction

á      Sound and gesture in mobile interface techniques

á      Sound for sighted mobile users

á      Sound for mobile users with visual disabilities

á      Sound in social navigation

á      Complementarity between non-speech and speech audio

á      Complementarity between audio and haptic mobile interfaces

á      Mobile, Ubiquitous and Tangible HCI in music performance

á      The Mobile Musician Machine Interface

á      Innovative Mobile Musician Machine Interfaces

á      Music as an interaction element

á      Mobile HCI and music composition

á      Spontaneous music, mobility and audio sharing

á      Mobile collaborative and distributed composition

á      Mobile collaborative performance

á      Mobile digital technology in music education

á      Nomadic composition

 

Aims

 

This workshop aims to promote dialogue on Mobile HCI and Sound, encourage research in the area and to share experiences to mutual advantage among people addressing the topic from different perspectives.

 

Intended Participants

 

We specifically wish to foster exchange and interaction among participants from different communities, including, but not limited to, designers, developers, computer scientists, musicians, evaluators, psychologists, and ethnographers, thus fostering cross-fertilization among research communities. Participants at all stages in their research are encouraged to participate. Research based on implemented systems will be particularly welcome.

 

Demonstrations

 

Demos and experiences based on implemented systems, (including those that integrate mobile technologies with fixed ones - e.g. large projection screens, synthesizers, input devices etc) are warmly welcome. It is anticipated that a surround sound system will be available if required for demonstrations. We particularly encourage demonstrations that allow individuals and small groups to gain hands-on experience.

Registration

 

The workshop will be held as a full day event, and will provide time for presenting papers and for focused discussion groups covering issues identified in the workshop.

 

Attendees can either register for the full conference (£300 before 11th June) and take part in the workshop free of charge, OR register for one day of the conference (£100 before 11th June) and only attend the workshop.
