The work draws on industry needs and technology drivers to design, deploy and evaluate innovative remote collaboration solutions. In this talk I will present ReMoTe , CSIRO platform for remote mobile tele assistance (http://www.csiro.au/remote) and the range of user studies that we have conducted including usability, mobility, spatial awareness, telepresence. The use of wearable computing and AR offer new forms of interaction and collaboration with promising strong uptake by industry. Biography: Leila Alem is a principal research scientist at the CSIRO Computational Informatics based in Sydney. Her formal training is in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. She has designed and evaluated numerous advanced decision support systems and advanced computer supported training. Over the last 18 years of her career at CSIRO she has designed and evaluated various advanced user interfaces for domains including mining, aviation, automotive and health. Since 2005 her main focus of research has been in the area Human Factors in computer mediated collaboration settings. She has conducted several laboratory and field experiments to investigate these factors. Drawing on cognitive psychology, social science and human-computer-interface research she has investigated the media factors, the cognitive factors and the social factors at play in telepresence systems and environments. http://www.ict.csiro.au/staff/leila.alem/ 7/14 Keynote: Anaisa Franco – Thursday, 2 Oct 2014 Affectivate: Experiencing other senses within sculptures Abstract: In this talk, I will present an overview to the artworks I have been producing since 2007, introducing my approach to technology as a creative tool to expand the sensorial experience between artworks and the spectator. My artworks have been developed through commissions, grants and prizes in different art in residency programs, Medialabs and universities, in collaboration with teams of engineers and programmers. Inspired in psychology, dreams and cognitive sciences, my work is research-based, implying a constant experimentation process with new materials and digital fabrication to arrive at an “affective” situation where people expand their senses through the interaction with the objects. In these dynamics of interaction, I deal with three levels of stimulation and perceptual simulation, by: 1. expanding people’s senses -- where technology dialogues with their body expanding their imageries and perceptive possibilities using computer vision as eye, faces and body tracking; 2. by taking objects out of their inertia -- where technological interfaces imbue a certain type of life/emotion/dream into them activated by people through the use of a diversity of sensors triggered by pulse, touch and human presence; 3. by expanding the matter through digital projections creating unconventional displays. Biography: Searching for the creation of a “sixth” sense, Anaisa Franco creates interfaces that interconnect the physical with the digital inspired by concepts of psychology, cognitive science and dreams, she provides behaviors, feelings and imagination for the artworks. She has a Master in Digital Art and technology at University of Plymouth in England, UK and graduated in Visual Arts at FAAP in Sao Paulo. In the last years she has been developing New media Artworks in Medialabs, residencies and commissions such as Medialab Prado, Mecad, MIS, Hangar, Taipei Artist Village, China Academy of Public Art Research Center, Mediaestruch, Cite des Arts, ZKU, SP_Urban and MAC Fenosa. Mostly of the works were developed by grants and prizes and has been exhibiting in America, Asia and Europe as the as EXIT Festival in Paris; ARCO Madrid in Spain; Europalia in Brussels; Live Ammo at MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei, Taiwan; TÉKHNE at MAB Museum of Brazilian Art in São Paulo, Brazil; Sonarmática at CCCB Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain; the 5th Seoul International Media Art Bienalle, Seoul, Korea; Vision Play at Medialab PRADO; SLOW at Plymouth Art Centre in England and many others.http://www.anaisafranco.com/ 8/14 Keynote: Stefan Greuter – Friday, 3 Oct 2014 Virtual Reality in your Living Room Abstract: Professional full body immersive Virtual Reality interfaces are generally expensive; unsuited to routine use; and obtrusive. Markers, transmitters, sensors and gyroscopes all have to be carefully positioned on the user and problems of poor registration, occlusion and interference remain common. Virtual Reality has therefore generally remained in the laboratory rather than at work or in people’s homes. What is needed is motion tracking that is easy to set up and calibrate, does not en-cumber the user, and works over a reasonable area. This talk will demonstrate how software and hardware intended for the mainstream gaming market can be used as a viable, inexpensive and extremely portable full body immersive virtual reality interface. In transforming the lecture theatre space into a virtual reality laboratory, the presenter discusses the challenges and limitations and invites members of the audience to take a step into a strange new world. Biography: Stefan Greuter the Director of the Centre for Game Design Research in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University in Australia. From 2009, Stefan was the Associate Dean for the Games and Animation Cluster of programs at RMIT University. Stefan holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Visual Communication from RMIT University. Stefan’s research focus is on solving existing problems through the design of new gameful experiences that bring together research from multiple disciplines. Stefan specialises on innovative solutions involving the use of hardware and software for electronic games. He recently designed and produced the award winning game ‘Trouble Tower’. https://www.designresearch.rmit.edu.au/contact/researcherdirectory/stefan-greuter 9/14 Wednesday, 1 Oct 2014 Session #1 (3) – 10:45am Session Chair: Helmut Hlavacs Design for Creative Activity: A Framework for Analyzing the Creative Potential of Computer Games Wilawan Inchamnan and Peta Wyeth.
