Computing is progressively moving beyond the desktop into new physical
and social contexts. One key area of innovation has been around
tangible computing, which pushes the user interface beyond the digital
into the physical world. This includes work on tangible interfaces,
graspable interfaces, physical computing, and interactive surfaces. A
closely related topic is that of embedded interaction where the
everyday objects and environments we interact with are computationally
augmented in new ways. Designing such systems requires
interdisciplinary thinking. Their creation must not only encompass
software, electronics, and mechanics, but also the system's physical
form and behaviour, as well as its social impacts.
After the big success of TEI'07 and TEI'08 we are pleased to announce
the third international conference dedicated to presenting the latest
results in tangible and embedded interaction. We invite submissions of
work addressing HCI issues, design, user experience, tools and
technologies, as well as interactive art in the broad area of tangible
computing and embedded interactive systems. The intimate size of this
single-track conference provides a unique forum for exchange of ideas
through talks, interactive exhibits, demos, posters, art installations
and performances. All accepted submissions will be included in the
conference proceedings, which will be published through the ACM
Digital Library.
