Panels

Retrospective Panel, Celebrating 20 years of Mobile HCI
panellists: Mark Dunlop, Keith Cheverst, Helen Petrie and Jo Hersted
Chair: Stephen Brewster
THURSDAY, September 6th 13:30-15:00, room 30.S01 Auditorium

In this panel some of the founders of Mobile HCI will discuss the history of Mobile HCI, reflect on how Mobile HCI has changed in the last 20 years and where they think that it should go in the next 20 years.

SIGCHI International Special Panel, Diversity and Inclusion Panel: What can MobileHCI learn from the Global South
Panellists: Maletšabisa Tšabi Molapo, Janaki Srinivasan, Nic Bidwell, Nova Ahmed
Chair: Jacki O’Neill
Tuesday, September 4th 16:30-17:30, room 30.S01 Auditorium

MobileHCI is a key venue for research on mobile technologies, and mobile technologies are typically the first, and often the only, access to computational power for citizens in many countries of the world outside the Global North. There is enormous innovation in the Global South around designing mobile technologies as one tool in the armour to combat social inequality, or to address health, education and other constraints of resource-constrained settings. However, this is not as simple as the technophiles might wish. Researchers in fields like Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) have been wrestling with debates on whether technology can even play a large role in creating social change and alleviating widespread social problems. If technology has a role, how best to sensitively design technologies which can be useful and usable to people living in restricted socio-economic conditions. In this panel we bring together some of the brightest minds to discuss the opportunities and challenges for mobile technologies ‘for good’.
Each panellist will give a 5-minute presentation, based on their research, reflecting their position statement. Then we will open to questions from the audience.

Industry Panel
Panellists: Sven Krome, Matthew Aylett, Peggy Chi, Nuria Oliver
Chairs: Heather Vaughn & Oliver Weidlich
Wednesday, September 5th 16:30-17:30, room 30.S01 Auditorium

This panel will feature presenters from the industry papers to discuss the relationship between academia and industry, how we’ve seen this change over the last 20 years and what we expect for the future

MobileHCI Ethics, Town Hall lunch meeting
facilitator: KAISA VÄÄNÄNEN & Cosmin Munteanu
wednesday, September 5th 12:30-13:30, room 40.S02 Roger de Llúria

This session over lunch has two parts: The general MobileHCI townhall and the ethics discussion. In the first part, we engage the audience to discuss the future directions of MobileHCI conference series. We gain feedback from the MobileHCI community about the needs and ideas to develop MobileHCI conference further. Everyone’s input is important!

The second part of the session addresses the important ethics topics related to mobile HCI research. Researchers and practitioners in Human-Computer Interaction are increasingly facing ethical dilemmas and difficult situations in their work. Some are caused by the study of new emerging technologies (e.g. mobile devices, digital assistants, wearable devices), while others by the new contexts where new or existing technologies are deployed (especially with vulnerable participants or in sensitive settings). Therefore, our collective challenge is exploring how best to tackle these emerging ethical issues. For this, the SIGCHI research ethics committee has been tasked with the process of engaging SIGCHI members in consultations about the best approaches and practices toward creating and disseminating community-supported norms with respect to ethics.
Building upon the successful meetings at other SIGCHI conferences over the past three years, this town hall meeting will be structured to facilitate community discussions and to collect input about current ethics challenges and processes. These will focus on best practices around issues such as cultural and disciplinary differences in ethical norms, how ethical issues are handled in SIGCHI paper submission and reviews, processes for how we might create and disseminate ethics resources, and the interconnection between our norms as a global research community and the regulatory and policy frameworks that govern the work we conduct individually. All conference attendees are welcome to attend (bring your lunch over!).

Master Class

Tacking and Using Gaze: Eye-Tracking Master Class
free access for conference participants, registration required
Instructor: Andrew Duchowski
Monday, September 3rd 13:30-15:00, 13.104 – Ramón Turró

In this talk I will provide an overview of eye-tracking applications, distinguishing eye movement analysis from synthesis in virtual reality, games, and other venues including mobile eye tracking.  My focus is on four forms of applications: diagnostic (off-line measurement), active (selection, look to shoot), passive (foveated rendering, a.k.a. gaze-contingent displays), and expressive (gaze synthesis).  Diagnostic applications include training or assessment of expertise in a multitude of environments, e.g., mobile, desktop, etc.  Active gaze interaction is rooted in the desire to use the eyes to point and click, with gaze gestures growing in popularity.  Passive gaze interaction is the manipulation of scene elements in response to gaze direction, with an example goal of improvement of frame rate.  Expressive eye movement centers on synthesis, which involves the development of a procedural (stochastic) model of microsaccadic jitter, embedded within a directed gaze model, given goal-oriented tasks such as reading.  In covering the field, I will briefly review classic works and recent advancements, highlighting outstanding research problems.
