Designing, Implementing and Evaluating Mid-Air Gestures and Speech-Based Interaction

The goal of this half-day workshop is to investigate effective ways to leverage the recent advances in the automatic recognition of mid-air gestures and speech commands, with a special focus on (but not limited to) interaction with mobile technology and inclusive design for older adults and people with special needs. In particular, the workshop aims to investigate these issues from a multidisciplinary prospective by bringing together experts on interaction design, user experience, usability, accessibility, innovative hardware and software solutions that are related to technology based on mid-air gestures, speech and multi-modal interaction.
