Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges 2013
HCI research over three decades has shaped a wide spanning research area at the boundaries of computer science and behavioral science, with an impressive outreach to how humankind is experiencing information and communication technologies in literally every breath of an individuals life.
The HCC VISIONS workshop invites key experts to pose initial research challenge statements articulated by the scientific community in a crowd sourced solicitation attempt. The goals of the workshop are to shape research challenge statements indicating (i) vision, (ii) research approach and (iii) expected impact of prospective research issues by world leading experts in the field.
International Smart Plastics Congress: Connecting Senses
Von 10. - 11. Juni 2013 findet der zweite Smart Plastics Congress im AEC Ars Electronica Center in Linz statt.
Unter den Teilnehmern der Podiumsdiskussion am 10. Juni um 17:30 ist neben Mario Aiwasian, Gerfried Stocker und Philipp Weissel auch Alois Ferscha.
