“Design” has taken on the role of a universal solution to any problem—the power of design to create innovation and develop new industries has been eclipsed perhaps by only the conceit that design can save the world from the ills that innovation has created. “Design thinking” proposes a world where design is a frame for understanding the world through the eye of a designer and, in this mode, creating a better one. Lost in all this is what design is for, who should do design, and why design matters. We ask: “why design?” not to question the value of design and its practices, but instead to prompt reflection on the role and power that design has— and may not have.

The central theme of this year's conference is "Trustworthy Conversational Agents". It focuses on the crucial role that conversational agents (CAs) play in building trust between humans and machines. As CAs become increasingly prevalent, especially with the developments around large language models together with the aftermath of COVID-19 misinformation, ensuring that they are trustworthy, reliable, and ethical in our daily lives is essential.

CUI 2024 aims to inspire and promote innovative research and development in the area of trustworthy conversational agents, facilitating the creation of conversational agents that are more human-like, intelligent, and trustworthy. The conference further looks to bring together researchers, practitioners and industry experts to share their knowledge, ideas and experiences in designing, developing, and evaluating trustworthy conversational agents.

Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik

Extended Reality (XR), including Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), technologies are on the cusp of becoming mainstream. In 2019, about 6 million VR and AR headsets were shipped worldwide, with an estimated 16.5 million headsets in use in 2021, and predictions of over 50 million by 2026. By some estimates, this represents a $1 trillion market. Ideally, these technologies would be accessible to all who desire to use them; however, today, XR technologies are not accessible to millions of people with disabilities or impairments (visual, motor, cognitive), with incompatible physical characteristics (e.g., hairstyles and head shapes), with health conditions, and beyond. This includes children and the growing group of elderly people. In particular, the low accessibility of these technologies today hinders their widespread adoption worldwide, especially in the educational systems (learning, training), in industry (training, assistance), and in health care (rehabilitation, therapy, telemedicine). Thus, this Dagstuhl Seminar will address an urgent need in the field to ensure that all individuals can benefit from the applications that XR offers.

Kompetenzzentrum für virtuelle Realität und Kooperatives Engineering w.V.

Die relevanten nationalen Spiegelgremien für SC 36 und SC 29 bestehen bereits bei DIN. Das möglicherweise wichtigste Gremium für internationale Normung zu den IT-Grundlagen von Metaverse und XR, das SC 24, wird derzeit nicht national gespiegelt. Zudem beschäftigen sich die nationalen Spiegelgremien des SC 36 und SC 29 nicht primär mit metaverse- oder XR-relevanten Themen. Um dem bestehenden und entstehenden Bedarfen gerecht zu werden, wird das Gremium „Metaverse und Extended Reality“ dem Normenausschuss Informationstechnik und Anwendungen (NIA bzw. NA 043) zugeordnet und soll sich vorrangig mit der Spiegelarbeit des ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 befassen und metaverse- und XR-relevante Themen berücksichtigen.

The 26th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2024) will be held in San José, Costa Rica. ICMI is the premier international forum that brings together multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction research. Multimodal AI encompasses technical challenges in machine learning and computational modeling such as representations, fusion, data, and systems. The study of social interactions englobes both human-human interactions and human-computer interactions. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature which values scientific discoveries and technical modeling achievements equally, with an eye toward impactful applications for the good of people and society.

This workshop brings together researchers and educators with a common mission: empowering students to become creative problem-solvers in a yet-unknown future. Central to our cause is the XLogoOnline learning environment, that is already embraced by a thriving community of over 100,000 learners each year. Developed collaboratively by leading universities and institutions such as ETH Zurich, Max-Planck-Institute of Technology, and University of Trier, this platform aims at providing the means to foster algorithmic problem-solving in compulsory schooling from primary to higher secondary school. Turtle Hack brings stakeholders together and serves as a nexus for sharing visions and expertise. We plan and discuss the future of our platform, guiding its trajectory for years to come. From workshops to brainstorming sessions, Turtle Hack is where theory meets practice, nurturing the next generation of programmers and innovators.

The first goal of this Dagstuhl Seminar is to survey existing uses of any kind of XR technologies in the OR. More importantly, we will seek to foster and create ideas for novel research on using XR in the OR. This should lead to novel use cases of the technology, novel research questions, and an agenda for research on XR in the OR for the next 5 years. As one of the tangible outcomes, we plan to develop a position paper outlining this agenda during the seminar, and submit it to a major journal. These goals will be achieved by bringing together researchers from all sub-fields of XR (VR, AR, sound and haptic rendering, new materials, and other kinds of mixed reality), along with practitioners (surgeons) from different medical areas, in order to bring the practical perspective of surgery to the seminar.

"The world is flat and rectangular", at least when it comes to the types of physical screens that we use for representing data and making decisions. The physical screens that we consider when creating visualizations for representing data, making decisions with this data, and learning about our environment, are predominantly flat and rectangular: our mobile phones and tablets, desktops, or even large wall or table displays. Nevertheless, technology is already evolving quickly: curved, bendable, and highly flexible displays, spherical displays, cubed displays, and even drone-based displays have emerged and are commercially available. These novel types of displays offer new ways to represent and explore data embedded in everyday environments, to communicate and share it.
