With the proliferation of mobile devices it has become common to see groups of users working or playing together using multiple mobile devices. While much effort is exerted to ensure that interaction with a mobile device is useful for each individual ...

Mobile devices are now able to connect to a variety of sensors and provide personalized information to help people reflect on and improve their health. For example, pedometers, heart-rate sensors, glucometers, and other sensors can all provide real-time ...

In the search for novel and more expressive interaction techniques for mobile devices, bodily aspects such as movement, gesture, and touch based interfaces are prominent. For instance, touch-screen gestures have found widespread application in mobile ...

With the rapid evolution of mobile devices, smart-phones in particular, comes the ability to create new experiences that enhance the way we see, interact, and express ourselves, within the world that surrounds us. We can blend data from our senses and ...

This workshop, following one with the same name held at Mobile HCI 2010, aims at further exploring different approaches and challenges in studying playfulness as a mode of interacting with mobile technology.

This paper introduces the workshop "Exploring Design Methods for Mobile Learning" to be held at MobileHCI 2011, in Stockholm, Sweden.

This workshop is a forum of multi-disciplinary discussion on how mobile devices can increase perceived work efficiency (PWE), as well as how this subjective enhancement can be measured. It brings together practitioners and researchers from different ...

With the proliferation of pervasive devices and the increase in their processing capabilities, client-side speech processing has been emerging as a viable alternative. The SiMPE workshop series started in 2006 [5] with the goal of enabling speech ...

The workshop on mobile interaction in retail environments (MIRE) brings together researchers and practitioners from academy and industry to explore how mobile phones and mobile interaction can be embedded in retail environments to create new shopping ...

In this workshop, we explore novel applications, services, tools, and systems that take advantage of the audio channel on mobile devices to feed users with a flow of information. We call for innovative ideas to introduce ambient context-aware, location-...

Mobile devices have become an important part of adult life, where they are now used for media consumption and creation instead of traditional telephony function only. The same trend is visible in teens and children, both of whom are using mobile devices ...

In this panel, we discuss the relevance of the concept of mobility in current mobile Human-Computer Interaction research. Is the term still useful to understand and design for interaction with computers, or has the concept of mobility run dry and void ...

"In all the wonderful worlds that writing opens, the spoken word still resides and lives. Written texts all have to be related somehow, directly or indirectly, to the world of sound, the natural habitat of language, to yield their meanings."

Only 22% of ...

In this work, we have propose a novel design for a basic mobile phone, which is focused on the essence of mobile communication and connectivity, based on a silent speech interface and auditory feedback. This assistive interface takes the advantages of ...

Texting is the essence of mobile communication and connectivity, as evidenced by today's teenagers, tomorrow's workforce. Fifty-four percent of American teens contact each other daily by texting, as compared to face-to-face (33%) and talking on the ...

In this paper, we present an entry for the 2011 MobileHCI design competition. Our aim is to define the "essence" of mobile communication and connectivity, and illustrate it via a design example called Spaces Without Faces, an application to locate quiet ...

In this paper we describe Mobile Assisted Word-Learning (MAWL): An augmented reality based collaborative interface for learning new words using a smartphone.

Emergency services often wish to retrieve personal information about an unconscious person. There is currently no internationally agreed way to input and identify a next-of-kin (or other emergency contact) in a mobile phone's directory. The paper makes ...

The design of future spoken and multimodal interfaces should not only compare voice with other modalities of interaction. Instead, it should take screen-based smartphones as a basis and add new, gesture-based anthropocentric interaction forms to it. A ...

We demonstrate a multimodal, multi-user, and multi-device conference program guide for conference participants. Its functionality includes access to the conference program with additional multimedia content, voting, feedback, and communication with the ...
