Theme

Mobile devices have become a pervasive part of our everyday live. People have mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs with them nearly always and everywhere. So far these mobile devices have been mostly used for phone calls, writing short messages and organizer functionalities. Currently we see that the development of context-aware services for mobile phones takes particularly the user, his situation, and the location into account.
But why not use these devices for interactions with the real world, as a mediator between the virtual and the user’s world? While certain research domains within the fields of mobile applications and services advance at an amazing speed (e.g. context-aware services on mobile devices, using the sensors of mobile phones), the areas of pervasive mobile user interfaces, mobile devices as interaction devices, mobile devices for interactions with the physical world and user experiences in this field are still rather limited.

Topics

Possible topics for the workshop include (but are not limited to):

  • Interactions between mobile devices and the real world
  • Interactive context-aware services on mobile devices
  • Augmented, virtual and mixed reality on mobile phones and PDAs (tracking, markers, visualisation)
  • Using mobile devices as user interfaces for terminals and vending machines
  • Portable music players (e.g. iPod Photo) and personal servers as mobile interaction devices
  • Multimodal interaction taking mobile devices into account
  • Usage of sensors of mobile devices (camera, microphone, GPS, etc.) for pervasive applications
  • Interaction metaphors for pervasive applications and services
  • Gathering, management and usage of context information
  • User experience, user studies
  • Applications and scenarios

Goals

The main goal of the workshop is to develop an understanding of how mobile devices (particularly mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs) can be used as interaction devices. We will provide a forum to share information, results, and ideas on current research in this area. Furthermore we aim to develop new ideas on how mobile phones can be exploited for new forms of interaction with the environment. We will bring together researchers and practitioners who are concerned with design, development, and implementation of new applications and services using personal mobile devices as user interfaces.

Proceedings

The workshop proceedings will be distributed to the workshop participants, and is also available online in PDF format.
Permid 2005 is listed in the Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP) database.
