The 23rd BCS conference on Human Computer Interaction celebrates the people who use technology, the people who create new technologies, and the relationship between them. A centrepiece of the conference will be an Open House Festival involving the many Cambridge laboratories and startup companies now creating new displays, devices, games, communications and ubiquitous computing technologies. New developments in HCI depend on technology, and interchange between the communities will offer influence in both directions.
The scientific programme of the conference will have a special focus on the priorities of UK and European research. In addition to scientific quality, we emphasise creativity, originality and relevance to real problems. By aligning recognition of the best HCI research with peer review criteria for career devel http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1332812/ 2009-09-01T00:00:00-04:00 [Beaumont Street Oxford England ]"Four years after the first gathering, TEDGlobal returns to Oxford for a now-annual event. Join us next summer for four days of inspired thinking that goes beyond the obvious, delivering vital insight into the hidden forces shaping our future.
About the program: When we look around us, there are things we can observe: Buildings. People. Nature. And then there are things that run unseen through our lives. These hidden forces -- social conventions, biological links, cultural frameworks, coded meanings, complex processes, creative impulses, scientific speculations, software, networks -- are the connective tissue that binds societies together and the engines that propel organizations forward. When illuminated, they offer vital insights into our relationships with one another and our world.

Each conference is a chance to turn changes into opportunities by anticipating the major shifts ahead, and meeting the people who drive them.
We were told the future would be about mechanization, computerization, 3D flying virtual assistants, 1984-like nightmares or Asimov-inspired robots. The long-praised "21st century" itself was meant to be futuristic according to researchers and sci-fi writers. What did and did not happen? What can we learn from the predictions that never materialized to better look at the future?

This is a one-day symposium, endorsed by the Computer Arts Society and the Design Research Society. Papers will focus on the use of novel methods, or methods newly borrowed from other disciplines, in evaluating the user’s or audience’s response to media such as websites, portable media (such as iPods, PSPs), pervasive games, film, videogames, technology-rich performance, interactive art.
An aspect of interest is the use of interactive technologies to assist evaluative processes as well as to deliver interactive experiences. The aim is to share knowledge about evaluation methods and to debate the role and value of different forms of evaluation in relation to the arts and media. With this in mind, well-argued papers questioning the very idea of evaluation (especially sci http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/921530/ 2009-01-19T00:00:00-05:00 [171 Victoria Street London England SW1E 5NN]Details of the talk to be confirmed

On December 9, 1968, Dr. Douglas C. Engelbart and the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at Stanford Research Institute staged a 90-minute public multimedia demonstration at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco. It was the world debut of personal and interactive computing: for the first time, the public saw a computer mouse, which controlled a networked computer system to demonstrate hypertext linking, real-time text editing, multiple windows with flexible view control, cathode display tubes, and shared-screen teleconferencing.
It changed what is possible. The 1968 demo presaged many of the technologies we use today, from personal computing to social networking.

n the current credit crisis, one sure thing is that entertainment and new media platforms, especially games and virtual worlds - will outperform many other sectors in terms of market reach and sales. Witness this with the recent increase in sales at retail and online - and the massive injection of VC funding into Virtual Worlds over the last 12 months.
Over the last year the key areas receiving funding are online networked games and virtual worlds, whilst the new - and extended family market genre grows on the wave of green & sustainable casual games, interactive quiz shows and personal improvement titles.

Paper technology simply contains expressions of ideas, but the very technology of paper makes integration of ideas very difficult, if not impossible.
Graphs allow ideas to 'snap' together into larger and larger networks, which can in turn allow computers to help us interrogate the knowledge more effectively. There are competing technologies to achieve this, but the idea of 'the paper' as the core container for knowledge is dying, and technology will be the killer. This transformation is happening first, like the transformation of http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1390025/ 2008-12-04T10:00:00-05:00 [80-82 Wardour St London England W1F 0TG]In the digital world of diverse media, platforms, distribution and user behaviour, what does the future hold?
