16. Workshop Be-greifbare Interaktion

Tangible interaction is centered around the manipulation of physical objects and the usage of the own body. It thus involves the environment and the physical context much stronger than purely visual or speech-based interfaces. The wide range of possibilities for integrating sensors and computing systems into the physical environment provides ample design space. The research field of Tangible Interaction investigates this scope scientifically and practically in order to enable meaningful and human-oriented applications. In this workshop, the German Informatics Society (GI) specialist group "Be-greifbare Interaktion" of the Department of Human-Computer Interaction offers a forum for the presentation of scientific discourse and interdisciplinary discussion. Contributions range from theoretical, critical and forward-looking reflections to design work and reports on practical implementations. The workshop opens the discussion to a broader audience of experts in order to disclose current developments and generate new impulses for the research field
