“Impossible experiences in extended reality” Workshop
NordiCHI 2022 workshop
October 8th OR 9th, 2022
Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark
Workshop: https://impossibleexperiences.wordpress.com/
NordiCHI 2022: https://conferences.au.dk/nordichi2022
Submission deadline: July 20, 2022
Previous research has suggested a typology of VR research that involves the dimensions of realism-fantasy and immersion, which are instrumental to flow (e.g., Velasco, Barbosa Escobar, Petit, & Wang, 2021). However, the term “impossible”, as defined “incapable of being or of occurring”. In that sense, the first part refers to real-fantasy objects, and the second to laws governing the objects. In our view, then, a more encompassing “Impossible experiences” concept, must involve the realism-fantasy continuum but also a continuum that captures the extent to which an experience follows physical laws, that is, the laws of physics – imaginary laws continuum (see Figure 1 [at Workshop link above]). Whereas the first focuses on whether the objects that are part of an experience correspond to real objects or not (e.g., presenting a horse that is real vs. a unicorn that is not real), the second focuses on whether such objects follow or not the laws of physics (for example, both the horse and unicorn run on a grass field vs. they fly).
In the present workshop, we want to create a space for researchers and practitioners that have worked or are interested in working on impossible experiences in extended reality. The topics of interest for this workshop include theories, design frameworks, technologies, experiments and experiences, and applications related to impossible experiences. We encourage contributions (e.g., opinion pieces, mini-reviews, original research, projects, new ideas) associated, though not limited, to the following themes:
- Theory and methods of impossible experiences
- Conceptual frameworks.
- Design frameworks.
- Methods of development.
- Methods of measurement.
- New technology and interactions that facilitate immersive impossible experiences.
- Artificial-intelligence powered technologies.
- Multisensory technologies.
- Internet of things / Internet of the senses.
- Extended reality
- Novel extended reality technologies.
- Social interaction technologies
- Applications of impossible experiences:
- Health / mental health, well-being
- Customer experiences
- Social change
- Food experiences
- Gaming
- Education
- Art
- Others
- Ethics of impossible experiences
- Challenges
- Implications
- Ethic guidelines
