The aim of this workshop is to promote critical discussion over virtual, mixed and augmented reality and provide attendees with a critical framework for tackling issues.

Bill Buxton mused on what future archaeologist would make of today’s humans extrapolating from our current computer technology and came up with a being with one eye, a dominant hand and two ears but lacking legs, and a sense of smell or touch. He argued for greater involvement in the whole person and their senses in human-computer interaction. Artists have responded to this challenge by exploiting the various technologies that fall under the general banner of virtual reality, and support whole body interaction. Goldberg has also considered how performers are not just concerned with the body and bodily actions but also the relationship between performer and audience.

Programme

It's Friday, and my favorite day at Museums and the Web. If you haven't been here before, get ready for a crazy day. The pace can be really hectic with things overlapping and so much to choose from, but it's a great time to hear the wisdom of the crowd. As the holder of an art degree, crit room is near and dear to my heart. Usability is always entertaining and every year, I learn a little something. Get ready for some fun.
