                                          CALL FOR PAPERS

First Workshop on Radar-Based Human-Computer Interaction @EICS 2024

                                 https://www.radarwaves.upr.si/

                                               June 25, 2024

                                                Cagliari, Italy

=========================================================

*** SCOPE ***

The workshop targets the emerging area of radar-based interaction (RBI)
systems. Radar technology, traditionally employed in object detection and
surveillance, has been recently used by human computer interaction (HCI)
researchers for creating novel user experiences, including gesture-based
interaction through radar sensing, material recognition, and enabling
interactions through fabrics and surfaces. The participants of the workshop
will explore fundamental, practical, and experimental challenges posed by
radar-based interaction in numerous application domains, such as gaming,
virtual and augmented reality, healthcare, emergency response systems, and
smart environments.



*** TOPICS OF INTEREST ***

- RBI case studies and datasets for evaluating, comparing, and benchmarking
interactive systems

- Fundamentals of radar technology applied to HCI, including models,
methods, and techniques to extract meaningful features from radar signals
for RBI

- Signal processing for RBI, including techniques for filtering, curating,
analyzing, and synthesizing radar signals for HCI

- Radars availability for RBI: radar sensors, either custom-made or
commercially available, that can be readily used by HCI researchers and
practitioners

- Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning for RBI
applications, entailing processing algorithms for handling high-level data
and interpreting it towards meaningful feature extraction for application
in human-computer interaction

- Applications of RBI

- Engineering considerations for the design and development of RBI,
including software architectures and artifacts for facilitating the
development life cycle of radar-based applications, user interfaces, and
interactions

- RBI user experience

- RBI in challenging situations and environments, including applications of
RBI to multi-user and multi-device scenarios

*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ***

The results of the workshop, structured according to the three dimensions
(descriptive, comparative, and generative) will constitute the basis for a
common paper and a potential submission to a journal. Furthermore, a book
proposal to Springer HCI series is envisaged depending on the accepted
papers. Other workshop results, such as videos and presentations, will be
made available through the workshop website.
