Workshop for Designing Interactive Multimodal Information Retrieval and Access for Heads-Up Computing
Haiming Liu, Shengdong Zhao, Silang Wang, Preben Hansen, Ian Oakley, Khanh-Duy Le
ACM SIGIR Conference on Human Information Interaction And Retrieval
Workshop Overview
The advancement of wearable intelligent systems presents a transformative opportunity to revolutionize human interaction with digital content. This workshop explores how information seeking, retrieval and access could be designed and implemented in the new Heads-Up Computing interaction paradigm. The primary objective is to support tasks requiring rapid information seeking, retrieval and access in dynamic settings while maintaining a "heads-up" user experience, ensuring engagement with the real world. This half-day workshop aims to explore the opportunities and challenges of utilising multimodal inputs such as voice, gaze, and gestures to deliver real-time, hands-free access to digital information, enabling seamless and efficient interactions for human-centric information access. The workshop will focus on sharing research outcomes and best practices, fostering community collaboration, and stimulating discussions on overcoming current challenges. By addressing both theoretical advancements and practical applications, it seeks to propel this rapidly evolving field forward. We warmly invite everyone interested in this topic to join us, share insights, and participate in meaningful discussions as we explore the future of wearable intelligent systems and Heads-Up Computing.
