uman-computer interaction has not fundamentally changed
for nearly two decades. Most users are still limited to interacting with computers
via keyboards and pointing devices. However an increasing number of researchers in
various areas of computer science are developing technologies to add perceptual
capabilities such as speech and vision to the human-computer interface. Such perceptual
user interfaces are likely to be the next major paradigm in human-computer
interaction.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring
together researchers from academia and industry working in vision, speech, user
interfaces, machine learning, and user modeling, with common interests in making
human-computer interaction more natural and compelling by integrating perceptual input
into the user interface. The intimate size, focus on discussion, and comfortable
surroundings will make this workshop an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas, share
research results and learn about the various issues and technologies involved in creating
the next generation of user interfaces.
The workshop will take place following UIST '97 (User Interface Software and
Technology), an ACM-sponsored conference which will be held at a nearby hotel in Banff on
October 14-17. Workshop participants are encouraged to come early to attend UIST '97
as well.
