SCOPE
The emergence of alternative forms of Human Computer Interfaces (HCI) such as Natural, Perceptual, Affective, Tangible, Haptic, Gestural, Eye-Gaze Based, Brain-Computer and Neural-Computer Interfaces presents new challenges as well as opportunities for interface designers and users. Two communities of people are the main users of such interfaces. People with physical or cognitive impairments use alternative interfaces as primary or secondary pathways of communication in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environments or for rehabilitation. Healthy people use novel interfaces for entertainment, learning or robot control. The Special Session will discuss all types of Alternative HCI, their design, implementation and usability evaluation, including but not limited to digital biosignal processing; computational intelligence methods and algorithms; software, hardware and service architectures for Alternative HCI, user interface modelling and intelligent control. Multidisciplinary contributions that bridge Alternative HCI and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with related domains such as psychology, cognitive science, and computer graphics are also welcome.
