===========================================
Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Classical research and applications in the field of
Human-Computer-Interaction focus on the relationships between humans and
computers as separated objects. However, in recent times, sensors,
chips, or computing devices in general changed their physical location
and became much more embedded and immersive. They became wearables and
they even moved onto the skin (skinnables) and into the human body
(implantables). In this focus section we would like to elaborate how
this revolution may affect the way we look at the relationships among
humans and between humans, human elements and computing devices.
Moreover, we want to discuss new ideas what should be done to improve
these interactions and “entanglements” and what can be done to
understand them better.
This focus section is intended to provide a platform for sharing and
creating new ideas about the relationships among humans, technology
embedded in the environment (networked or not), and humans whose
physical, physiological or/and mental capabilities are extended
and/or modified by technology. Given these extended realities, the
interface as we have known it and even the practical meaning of the word
“interaction” have changed. This focus section wants to provide a stage
to propose new methods for interaction, engagement, and
relationships between technology, humans, “modified” humans and the new
reality.
We encourage researchers and practitioners to share their ideas and
experience for these new realities of interaction, engagement, and
interface mechanisms with the community. Researchers and
practitioners from the areas of the Internet of things (IoT),
wearables, implantables, skinnables, and embedded computing are in
particular encouraged to submit papers describing their work in these
mentioned areas.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interest
-----------------------------------------------------------
Topics we want to cover in this focus section include but are not
limited to the following topics:
• Commercial wearables, skinnables and implantables vs. medical grade
devices. Which added value do these devices give?
• Possibilities of relationships among WHAT - e.g., interaction and
symbiosis. Can we see a taxonomy of relationships with and within WHAT?
• Holistic views: When does a group of WHAT become a team, group of
organisms, or agents?
• What makes a device smart? Which domains are covered or affected by a
device’s smartness?
• When does a wearable, an implantable, or a thing become part of the human?
• What is the role of system thinking and practice in dealing with
arrays of WHAT or managing them?
• WHAT and the integration of senses (e.g., touch and smell). How can
WHAT enhance human sensing?
• WHAT vs. WHERE: Physical dimensions of WHAT.
