                 Call for Participation – UbiComp/ISWC 2025

     Workshop on Imagining Phygital Collaboration at a Distance:
                  Design Fiction for Hybrid Prototyping

                         October 13, 2025
                Espoo, Finland (Aalto University FabLab)
======================================================================

Rethink remote collaboration in FabLabs through future quick-start guides.
This one-day workshop uses Design Fiction to explore hybrid prototyping futures.
Participants will co-create narrative tools (quick-start guides) to imagine postdigital distributed collaboration.

Workshop Overview
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hybrid collaboration in distributed FabLabs raises challenges of tool integration, co-presence, and asynchronous work.
This workshop invites participants to explore future hybrid settings through Design Fiction.

Participants will:
- Reflect critically on hybrid co-presence in ubiquitous computing
- Explore postdigital futures of collaborative fabrication
- Co-design conceptual tools for hybrid collaboration
- Contribute to a collective post-workshop publication

We welcome researchers, practitioners, PhD candidates, engineers, and designers interested in hybrid collaboration, HCI, learning technologies, and speculative methods.
