ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction, SUI 2013
(co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH Conference)

July 20th-21st, 2013
Institute for Creative Technologies in Los Angeles, California, USA
http://www.sui-symposium.org

We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on Spatial User  
Interaction (SUI) 2013, the first international symposium focused on  
the user interface challenges that appear when users interact in the  
space where the flat, two-dimensional, digital world meets the  
volumetric, physical, three-dimensional (3D) space we live in. This  
considers both spatial input and 3D output, with an emphasis on the  
issues around interaction between humans and systems.

Due to the advances in 3D technologies, spatial interaction is now  
more relevant than ever. Powerful graphics engines and high-resolution  
screens are now ubiquitous in everyday devices, such as tablets and  
mobile phones. Moreover, new forms of input, such as multi-touch,  
finger and body tracking technologies are now easily available. In  
this environment, spatial UIs are transitioning out of the research  
community and game industry. More and more commercial 3D systems with  
spatial interaction capabilities exist, many priced at the consumer  
level. Until now, the challenges, limitations, and advantages of using  
this third dimension for human-computer interfaces have not been well  
understood. These questions will only become more relevant as the  
associated technologies continue to cross the barrier towards wide  
adoption.

The goal of the symposium is to provide an intensive exchange between  
industrial and academic researchers working in the area of spatial  
user interaction and to foster discussions among participants.

The two-day symposium will be held at the USC Institute for Creative  
Technologies (ICT) in Los Angeles, CA, July 20th-21st, 2013 just prior  
to the ACM SIGGRAPH 2013 conference. SUI 2013 will provide a shuttle  
bus from the ICT to SIGGRAPH 2013 on Sunday evening.

ACM SUI 2013 is co-sponsored by ACM's Special Interest Groups on  
Graphics and Computer-Human Interaction (SIGGRAPH and SIGCHI).
