Multisensory Environments (MSEs) enable different forms of interactions to enhance children’s learning and play. While traditional MSEs are "built-in" to a specific space (e.g., a room or a part of a room), our movable solution, named MOVES, goes beyond ...

This paper presents the advancement of the PRIM project that aims at giving the power to non-computer experts to create digital and interactive scenarios. For this purpose, we explored the strengths and limitations of the visual programming languages ...

Multisensory Interaction (M.I.) is a promising research field acting on both perception and cognition. Among benefits, including the "design for all" approach, it is expected to increase humans’ cognitive performance (such as learning and cognitive ...

Children in the UK start learning to read and write using the phonics method, which teaches them how to link sounds (phonemes) with their written representation (graphemes). However, it is a difficult skill which takes a long time to master. To address ...

There is increasing interest in multisensory experiences in HCI. However, little research considers how sensory modalities interact with each other and how this may impact interactive experiences. We investigate how children associate emotions with ...

In this paper, we present a demo named AniDance that can synthesize dance motions with melody in real-time. When users sing a song or play one in their phone to AniDance, their melody will drive the 3D-space character to dance to create a lively dance ...

Whilst there is increasing work investigating the role of digital augmentation of outdoor cultural heritage sites, such augmentations have largely focused on visual and auditory modalities. We present initial findings from a field study of 29 visitors ...

We present a fluid user interface that functions as a logic-computing input/output device, based on touching small jets of water. Tactile interaction occurs in two directions: (1) from the human to the device, where minute motions of the finger through ...

Plants are live beings with often underestimated sensory and communicative abilities. In this paper, we sensitize to these natural abilities and we show how they can be extended through technology. To these purpose, we propose a framework for ...

When performing a piece of music, body, senses, and cognition are strictly connected to each other. This connection, however, is not always particularly evident. As a consequence, it is extremely important for musicians to be able to control their ...

This ACM International Workshop on Immersive Media Experiences is in its 3rd edition. Since 2013 in Barcelona, it has been a meeting point of researchers, students, media producers, service providers and industry players in the area of immersive media ...

The 2nd ACM International Workshop on Immersive Media Experiences (ImmersiveMe'14) at ACM Multimedia aims at bringing together researchers, students, media producers, service providers and industry players in the emergent area of immersive media ...

Immersive media has the potential for strong impact on users' emotions and their sense of presence and engagement. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers, students, media producers, service providers and industry players in ...

Psychological research on cross-modal auditory-visual perception has focused on the manipulation of sensory information predominantly by visual information. There are relatively few studies of the way auditory stimuli may affect other sensory ...
