Researching Learning in Immersive Virtual Environments 2011 (ReLIVE11)

Creative Solutions for New Futures, 21st – 22nd September 2011

Innovation in teaching and learning through virtual worlds was a major theme of ReLIVE08, the first conference to bring together researchers and educators in this field. In the three years since this event, our understanding of what it means to work, play and learn in these spaces has increased significantly, generating a rapidly growing body of academic knowledge.

Greetings --

Today, 10 days after the end of early registration, my abstract (below) was added to the CHI 2011 web page for Courses, although the oversight was pointed out a month ago. For some reason, this year the web site does not include the detailed Advance Program Description that course developers create, and courses are less prominent in conference marketing. I encourage people who plan to attend to find the course abstracts and consider signing up. Courses will not appear in the ACM Digital Library. Many offer information that is useful in practice and would be expensive to obtain [...]

Systems

*****************

Call for papers

*****************

Submissions due 30th July 2011

Introduction and topics

----------------

Multi-touch technologies have a long history-one that even predates the
public adoption of graphical user interfaces. While early systems
offered glimpses into its potential, they were hampered by the
technology of the times: Processors were not fast enough to adequately
process multiple inputs; projector-based systems offered low resolution,
a bulky setup, and shadowing effects; users often had to be
inconveniently tethered; ad-hoc systems were expensive to build and
difficult [...]
