[AISWorld] AVI-CH 22 the 4th workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces for Cultural Heritage - deadline extended to April 10th

AVI-CH 22 the 4th workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces for Cultural
Heritage

http://avi2ch-22.di.unito.it/

The rapid development of ICT and the Internet has enabled CH institutions to
provide access to their collections in multiple various ways, both on-site
and online, and to attract even wider audiences than those that visit the
physical museums. In parallel and part of the above, there is an enormous
growth in user interfaces and in information visualization technologies. The
range of interfaces is growing by the day - from tiny smart watch screens to
wall-size large public displays.

Regarding virtual advanced interfaces, there are several successful
examples, for instance, applications of 3D technologies for virtual museums.
The use of (web) 3D in cultural heritage promotion allows the public to live
immersive experiences in virtual, reconstructed locations, like ancient
towns and locations, and to visit existent, but remotely located locations,
such as world-wide cultural institutions (such as Google Art Project). For
preservation purposes, web 3D provides scholars and cultural heritage
professionals with a way to consult and maintain visual repositories of real
exhibits, with the possibility of visualizing, comparing, and studying 3D
digital equivalents of real artworks physically situated in different
locations.

Cultural heritage is one challenging domain of application for such novel
ICT technology. CH is ubiquitous. There is abundance of CH related
information available, about almost every object we can think of. How can we
access and enjoy this information in Ubiquitous Computing scenario?

Advanced and natural human-computer interaction is a key factor in enabling
access to cultural heritage. Visual interfaces, whether they are tiny mobile
screens or large wall mounted displays, can all be part of a ubiquitous CH
infrastructure, where information can be personalized and
displayed/projected, on screens or overlaid on real objects and advanced
form of interaction could be experimented with (i.e., gestural interaction,
augmented interaction, vocal interaction, social robotics, etc.).

Following the wealth of studies and publications in recent years focusing on
exploring the potential of novel technology to enhance CH experience, the
success of AVI-CH 2016 (that yielded a follow-up special issue focused on
advances visual interfaces for cultural heritage) and AVI-CH 2018/2020, the
goal of the workshop is again to bring together researchers and
practitioners interested in exploring the potential of state of the art,
advanced visual interfaces in enhancing our daily cultural heritage
experience.

Topics: Any work which is relevant to AVI 2022 general list of topics that
is being applied in cultural heritage is relevant to the workshop. Specific
topics of interest, when applied to cultural heritage are:

o Adaptive and Context-Aware Interfaces

o Personalized User Interfaces

o Information Visualization

o Interface Metaphors

o Interfaces for e-Culture and e-Tourism

o Mobile Interaction

o Multimodal Interfaces (Voice-based interaction, Brain Computer
Interaction, etc.)

o Augmented reality

o (Multi) Sensory Interfaces

o (Multi) Touch Interaction

o Natural Interaction (gestural and touchless interaction, interaction with
IoT, etc)

o User Interfaces for the Internet of Things

o Virtual Reality

o Head-Mounted Displays

o Conversational Interfaces

o Human-Robot Interaction

o AVI for CH in the era of COVID 19 (virtual tours, remote attendance etc)
