Audio Mostly 2007 – 2nd Conference on Interaction with Sound
http://www.audiomostly.com

September 27 - 28, 2007
Ilmenau, Germany
hosted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT

CALL FOR PAPERS

-------------

Audio in all its forms – music, sound effects, or dialogue - holds
tremendous potential to engage, convey narrative, inform, dramatize and
enthrall. However, in computer-based environments, for example games,
nowadays the interaction abilities through and with sound are still
underrepresented. The Audio Mostly Conference provides a venue to
explore and promote this untapped potential of audio by bringing
together audio experts, content creators, interaction designers, and
behavioral researchers. Our area of interest covers new sound
applications that demand or allow for some kind of interactive response
from their listener, particularly in scenarios where screens and
keyboards are unavailable, unsuitable or disturbing. This area implies
cognitive research and psychology, as well as technological innovations
in audio analysis, processing and rendering. The aim is to both describe
and push the boundaries of sound-based interaction in various domains,
such as gaming, serious gaming, education, entertainment, safety and
healthcare.

Paper Submissions:
We ask researchers, composers, game developers, audio engineers, etc.
who are interested in sharing their results, perspectives and insight to
a multidisciplinary audience to submit abstracts of 300-500 words for
paper or poster submissions before June 22, 2007. Please specify if your
abstract is for a paper or a poster. Also position papers from
industrial strategists are welcome.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by July 8, 2007.
Final submissions are due on August 24, 2007.

Furthermore, we plan to focus a special paper session on the area of
children's media, an area that is of special interest to our region here
in Thuringia (see
http://invest-in-thueringen.org/fileadmin/www/pdfs/EN/publications/flyer-media.pdf).

Thus, any submissions dedicated to the questions of audio interaction in
media applications for kids or adolescents, such as audio & learning,
music education or games for children, etc. are in particular welcome.
