GENERAL INFORMATION

The interests and goals of HCI include understanding, designing, building and evaluating complex interactive systems involving many people and many technologies. Developments in software and hardware technologies are continuously driving applications in supporting our collaborative and communicative needs as social beings, both at work and at play. At the same time, similar developments are pushing the human-computer interface beyond the desktop and into our pockets, streets and buildings. Developments in mobile, wearable and pervasive communications and computing technologies provide exciting challenges and opportunities for HCI.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the field of computer vision whose work is related to human computer interaction. We are soliciting original contributions that address a wide range of theoretical and application issues in human computer interaction including, but not limited to:

    * Affective HCI, emotion, motivational aspects

    * Multimedia data modeling and visualization

    * Multimodal event detection and recognition

    * Human motion and gesture recognition

    * HCI issues in image/video retrieval

    * Learning aspects in HCI

    * Input and interactions techniques

    * Perceptual user interfaces

    * Wearable and pervasive technologies in HCI
