This year's symposium continues the UIST tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research innovations in the software and technology of human-computer interfaces. UIST brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas that include traditional graphical and web user interfaces, tangible and ubiquitous computing, virtual and augmented reality, multimedia, new input and output devices, and CSCW. The intimate size, the single track, and comfortable surroundings make this symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and implementation experience.</p> <p>The call for papers attracted 118 full paper submissions and 52 TechNote submissions from Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the South Pacific. The program committee accepted 24 full papers (20%) and 12 TechNotes (23%) that cover a variety of exciting topics, including augmented reality, design tools, toolkits, pen and tactile input, and ambient interfaces. In addition, the program includes a keynote speech by Mary Czerwisnki on using theory as a basis for human-computer interaction research and two invited surveys by Saul Greenberg and Joseph Kaye on Physical User Interfaces and Olfactory Displays, respectively. Posters, demos, and our second annual doctoral symposium round out our program; UIST attendees receive a separate document that contains the accepted submissions for those categories. The UIST proceedings are in color for the first time ever and we hope that they will serve as a valuable reference for user interface researchers and practitioners. We have supplemented the proceedings with a DVD containing videos for almost all of the papers, TechNotes, posters, and demonstrations. 收起
