Welcome to Ubiquitous Projection Workshop

Pico-projectors enabling mobile and personal projection interfaces have received increasing attention recently, and are an interesting future trend for ubiquitous computing. Integrated projectors in mobile and wearable devices offer exciting possibilities for applications where walls, desks, floors, clothes or palms acts as projection surface. Ability to augment physical objects with projected digital information opens doors for novel application concepts, and as interaction space is no longer limited to traditional touch screens, new forms of interaction can emerge. However, issues such as lighting conditions, privacy, and social acceptability also come into play.

This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to share, discuss and learn about the on-going research in the area of Ubiquitous Projection Interaction. The international workshop consists of an open workshop (Thursday) and a PhD course (Wednesday-Friday). The participants are also welcome to present demos at the workshop (please inform the organizers prior to the workshop).

We welcome all interested participants from academia and industry to the Thursday workshop (limited by the number of seats). For the PhD course, PhD students are given a priority. The estimated workload of the PhD course is 2 ECTS.
