Workshop on inconspicuous interaction

Abstract

Growing usage of interactive systems in the public space has highlighted the prevalence of conflicts between desired functionality and maintenance of privacy / social comfort. This has inspired researchers and practitioners, in communities concerned with usable security, wearable and mobile interfaces, natural user interfaces, accessibility and social interaction, to employ inconspicuous interaction styles. This workshop will bring these communities together to produce forward-looking insights that can shape the way users interact with tomorrow's computers, in interactive systems that account for the social nomadic contexts where they are bound to be used.
