Two interesting calls for papers in my mailbox this week (unfortunately I am not able to participate):

The NordiCHI 2008 workshop
‘Research Goals and Strategies for Studying User Experience and Emotion’.
One-day Workshop date: October 19
Submission deadline: September 10
NordiCHI 2008 is arranged October 18.-22. in Lund, Sweden.
More information on the workshop website.

Fun and Games conference 2008
Workshop: ‘Design for social interaction through physical play‘
At the proposed workshop we would like to identify multidisciplinary approaches and address questions such as:

• What are the principles of designing for social and physical play?
• What is different about designing for and physical social play?
• What are inspiration sources when designing for social and physical play? E.g. theories about social interaction and sport psychology.

More info on their website.

Today the first book on evaluating interactive products with children is out. This afternoon it will be presented here in Eindhoven. Panos Markopoulos and Janet Read will give a presentation, introduced by our chief of UCE: Berry Eggen.

Another nice event this Friday: PostGrad Day. All PostGrads (PhD’s and USI’s) from Human Technology Interaction and Industrial Design will present their research from 12-16h in the Auditorium at the Eindhoven University of Technology.

update: the poster I presented is now added to the publications and presentation page.
