Annual UBI Summer Schools provide researchers, students, and industry and public sector professionals with an opportunity to gain hands on experience and insight on selected topics on the multidisciplinary fields of HCI, ubiquitous computing and urban informatics under the tutelage of distinguished experts. UBISS 2016 is co-located with the PerDis 2016 symposium, thus several workshops are related to pervasive displays in one way or another. UBISS 2016 builds on the legacy of the six previous highly successful UBI Summer Schools held in Oulu in 2010-2015.

UBISS 2016 comprises of four parallel 6-day workshops:

Workshop A: UBICOMP IN THE WILD: DEVELOPING AND DEPLOYING PERVASIVE DISPLAYS

Workshop B: EYEWORK: DESIGNING INTERACTIONS WITH EYE MOVEMENTS

Workshop C: COLLABORATION AND PERSONAL DEVICES AROUND INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS

Workshop D: NEXT GENERATION VIRTUAL REALITY: PERCEPTION MEETS ENGINEERING
