Call for papers published for Audio Mostly 2011– “A conference on interaction with sound” in co-operation with ACM – SIGCHI
September, 7 – 9 – Coimbra, Portugal.
****************************************************
Audio in all its forms – music, sound effects, or dialogue – holds
tremendous potential to engage, convey narrative, inform, create
attention and enthrall. However, in computer-based environments, for example games and
virtual environments, the ability to interact through and with sound are still today underused.
The Audio Mostly Conference provides a venue to explore and promote this untapped potential of audio by bringing together audio experts, content creators and designers, interaction designers, and behavioral researchers.
The area of interest includes interactivity through sound, tools and methods to support sound design work and evaluation and new and innovative applications of sound. It implies cognitive, psychological and social research studies, as well as applied research and technological innovations in audio analysis, processing and rendering.
The theme this year is “Sound and Context”
We do not limit contributions to narrow themes, because the Audio Mostly conference series is strongly interdisciplinary and makes a space for creative approaches. The following areas of interest are indicative, but not exclusive.
Areas of Interest (including but not limited to):
– Interactivity through sound and speech
– Sound and music in context
– Sound and music in games and other interactive applications
