Focus of TWLT15
Motivation
In recent years we have seen that the computer science
and the cognitive ergonomics communities have discovered
and are exploring the possibilities of virtual reality
in user interfaces. In order to visualize available
information and to provide users with a metaphore that
is close to what they know and expect, virtual environments have
been built such that users can find and explore information,
communicate with other users and can communicate in different
ways with objects and agents in the virtual worlds. The workshop is organized in the context of the U-wish project of the Dutch Telematics Institute.
Focus
This workshop emphasizes the role of virtual reality in interfaces and
in environments in which people share knowledge and experience and in
which new forms of interactivity will emerge. In particular we want to
explore the role of speech and language in virtual environments. How
can we navigate in VR using speech and language, how can we model
multimodal access to such environments, how can we communicate with
other humans and with artificial agents in the VR environment, etcetera.
