Exertion interfaces

Published:05 April 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

Exertion as an interface for computing technology has generated increased attention recently due to the belief that it can address health issues such as obesity, contribute to social benefits, and open new markets for entertainment industries. We are proposing a workshop on this topic to bring researchers and industry participants from related areas together to strengthen the scientific influence on this field and promote a multidisciplinary agenda. The workshop will support the development of future collaborative efforts in this rapidly growing area.
