🌟 Call for Papers: Designing Non-Visual Interactions with Haptic and Multimodal Interactive Displays 🌟
"We are thrilled to announce a call for papers for our upcoming Special Thematic Session (STS) at the AAATE 2025 Conference! This session will focus on the important area of non-visual design utilizing the sense of touch, particularly in the context of digital inclusion. The outcome of the session will be a manifesto outlining guidelines for non-visual and inclusive design, which will be further elaborated into a joint publication with the interested participants after the workshop.
📅 Deadline for submissions: 10 February 2025
We invite contributions that address research or technical development related to designing digital non-visual interactions, as well as key challenges and lessons learned in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
non-visual digital inclusive design, participative design (e.g. targeting the visually impaired people, deafblind users, people with other visual and/or auditory sensory disabilities),
emerging and innovative assistive technologies relying on haptic, audio, tactile and/or tangible interaction (e.g. surface haptics, pin displays, other tangible displays)
interfaces or interactions for digital accessibility (e.g. user interactions for accessibility, such as research on zooming / panning or other digital interaction techniques for the visually impaired, alternative communication languages on touch surfaces, etc.)
artificial Intelligence for the support of non-visual interaction
interactive displays relying on the combination of various innovative technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence and haptics)
