MRUI'07 - 2nd International Workshop on Mixed Reality User Interfaces: Specification, Authoring, Adaptation

Charlotte, NC, USA
Saturday, Mar 10, 2007 - Wednesday, Mar 14, 2007

Current trends in high-performance, mobile computing devices suggest that Mixed Reality applications will not only be available for experts in predefined settings but also for everyday users in an often changing context. Mixed Reality applications could be run in different hardware setups, at different context conditions, and they will have to accommodate configuration and adaptation both at compile and run-time. Such new scenarios will require novel methods for specification, novel tools for application authoring, and novel ways to include adaptation into non-functional requirements of MR applications, among other key elements in this future software line. We believe, these issues are important features in the future of MR, and solutions to them will be essential to overcome the complexity of development in a world with several options for devices and levels of computational power, as well as with heterogeneous users possessing various levels of experiences, skills and personal preferences. The fullday workshop will be held during the IEEE Virtual Reality 2007 Conference (March 10-14 2007) in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

Information Visualization 2007 - IEEE International Conference on Information Visualization

Sacramento, CA, USA
Sunday, Oct 28, 2007 - Thursday, Nov 01, 2007

Computer-based information visualization centers around helping people explore or explain data through interactive software that exploits the capabilities of the human perceptual system. A key challenge in information visualization is designing a cognitively useful spatial mapping of a dataset that is not inherently spatial and accompanying the mapping by interaction techniques that allow people to intuitively explore the dataset. Information visualization draws on the intellectual history of several traditions, including computer graphics, human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, semiotics, graphic design, statistical graphics, cartography, and art. The synthesis of relevant ideas from these fields with new methodologies and techniques made possible by interactive computation are critical for helping people keep pace with the torrents of data confronting them.
