Workshops will be held on the first day of the conference (June 5th 2019) in the Lowry and are a half day in length. This year we have four stimulating workshops in the programme, which cover a diversity of TVX topics. You can read a summary of each workshop below, and visit their organisers&#8217; webpages to find out even more details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>Workshops are free of charge for all registered attendees of the TVX 2019 conference. All workshops have an open attendance policy. This means that even if you haven&#8217;t had a position paper or other form of submission accepted you will still be able to attend (depending on capacity, see below). So that we can best allocate room for workshops and give the organisers a clear idea of attendee numbers for their planning, please indicate whether you intend to participate in any of the workshops when <a href=\"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/registration\/\">registering for the conference<\/a>. In the very unlikely case where more participants sign up to a workshop than there are spaces in the allocated room, we will give priority to those who have had submissions accepted at that workshop. If we are not able to accommodate you in your first choice workshop, we will let you know in advance of the conference and endeavour to give you a choice of alternative.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  avia-full-stretch flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='background: #ffffff; background-color:#ffffff; border-radius:0px; '><article class=\"iconbox iconbox_left    \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color \" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue80b' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  style='color:#83a846; ' ><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\"   style='color:#83a846; '>Interactive Radio Experiences<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><ul>\n<li>Date: 5th June, 09:00-13:00<\/li>\n<li>Location: Pier Eight 2 (The Lowry)<\/li>\n<li>Website:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmarconi.eu\/calendar\/interactive-radio-experiences\">https:\/\/www.projectmarconi.eu\/calendar\/interactive-radio-experiences<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  av_inherit_color '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Organisers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Rik Bauwens <b>&#8211;<\/b>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">VRT innovation, Brussels, Belgium<\/span><br \/>\nHendrik Lievens\u00a0<b>&#8211;<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">Expertise centre for Digital Media, Hasselt University, Hasselt, Belgium<\/span><br \/>\nDr Maarten Wijnants\u00a0<b>&#8211;<\/b>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">Expertise centre for Digital Media, Hasselt University, Hasselt, Belgium<\/span><br \/>\nMr Chris Pike\u00a0&#8211; <span style=\"color: #808080;\">BBC, Manchester, United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\nIris Jennes\u00a0&#8211; <span style=\"color: #808080;\">imec SMIT, Brussels, Belgium<\/span><br \/>\nWerner Bailer <b>&#8211;<\/b>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">JOANNEUM RESEARCH, Graz, Austria<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Description<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">Nowadays radio shows are much more than a linear broadcast feed \u2014 they&#8217;re all about user engagement. At the same time, many users are no longer only connected to a radio station brand through the linear broadcast channel, but also through digital platforms, and interaction through social media is becoming ever more important. Digital services enable broadcasters and users to customise the radio experience. Radio is today a medium embedded in a context of social media, interaction and personalisation. This workshop thus aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on tools, services and applications enabling interactive radio experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  avia-full-stretch flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='background: #ffffff; background-color:#ffffff; border-radius:0px; '><article class=\"iconbox iconbox_left    \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color \" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue80b' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  style='color:#83a846; ' ><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\"   style='color:#83a846; '>RESEARCH IN THE WILD VIA PERFORMANCE: CHALLENGES, ETHICS AND OPPORTUNITIES<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><ul>\n<li>Date: 5th June, 09:00-13:00<\/li>\n<li>Location: South Room (The Lowry)<\/li>\n<li>Website:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.performanceinthewild.com\/\">https:\/\/www.performanceinthewild.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  av_inherit_color '  style='color:#b02b2c; '  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Organisers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Dr Robyn Taylor &#8211;<\/span> <span style=\"color: #808080;\">Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne , United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Dr Julie Williamson &#8211;<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Dr Jocelyn Spence &#8211;<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Matthew Wood &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Open Lab, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Jonathan Hook &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Digital Creativity Labs, Dept. of Theatre, Film and Television, University of York, York, United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Ko-Le Chen &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Open Lab, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\">Peter Wright &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Open Lab, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Description<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">Performance can be combined with interactive, online and immersive video as a way of conducting research in the wild.

Affordable head-mounted displays (HMDs) and accessible VR content are now within reach of large audiences, yet many of VR\u2019s most urgent challenges remain underexplored. In addition to the many known unknowns (e.g. how do we manage sensory conflicts and spatial limitations in VR?), there are many more unknown unknowns (e.g. what kinds of psychological, social and cultural impact will VR provoke?). By bringing together diverse scenarios and design fictions created specifically to explore VR ethics, we will facilitate a rich discussion that will inform the development of three high-fidelity design fictions that will be used to explore the ethics of VR in future workshops, including one in Bristol (Nov 2019: part of the Virtual Realities Immersive Documentary Encounters project).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Synopsis:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Virtual Reality is characterised as an \u2018immersive\u2019 medium [23]. Users of head-mounted displays such as Oculus Go and HTC Vive may experience an illusion of \u2018presence\u2019 (a feeling of \u2018being there\u2019), a sense of \u2018embodiment\u2019 (identification with a virtual body) and\/or interact with virtual environments via headtracking, point-and-click interactions, voice commands, and more. The technical literature exploring VR\u2019s potential is somewhat ocularcentric, focusing on two dominant visual techniques: computer generated imagery (e.g. 3D environments) and 360\u00b0 videography (a.k.a. \u201ccinematic VR\u201d). Yet VR also affords virtual soundscapes via ambisonic (3D) audio and multisensory experiences &#8211; haptics (touch), gustation (taste) and olfaction (smell). New challenges (and new versions of familiar challenges, such as accessibility) are manifold. The social affordances of VR are being tested through simple multiplayer games (e.g. Rec Room), chatrooms (e.g. VRChat) and installations (e.g. Carne y Arena). Yet relatively little research has been carried out \u2018in the wild\u2019; that is to say: most of what we know about the future of VR comes from marketing materials and lab-based studies. In this workshop, we will ask, what ethical issues should we expect to encounter as VR heads out of the lab and \u2018into the wild\u2019?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-666","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=666"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":977,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/666\/revisions\/977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
