Abstract

We are rapidly moving towards a hybrid world where communication and collaboration occur in reality, virtuality, and everywhere in-between. But, are current technologies ready for such a shift? Social Extended Reality (XR) systems promise to overcome the limitations of current real-time teleconferencing systems, enabling a better sense of immersion, enhancing the sense of presence, and fostering more successful interpersonal interactions. The possibility for familiar, meaningful, and strategically heightened social interaction in XR has positioned immersive technology as the future of real-time communication and collaboration. This Dagstuhl Seminar gathered academics and practitioners from different disciplines to address the open challenges of immersive interaction including the ethical, legal and societal aspects of possible futures. Participants shared their work through rapid talks and XR demos. The seminar organizers provided provocation talks before small groups convened to discuss three topics over three days: XR design approaches, ethics and values; capturing and modelling; and proxemics, metrics, instrumentation and evaluation. We conclude with a set of grand challenges in the field of social XR in the areas of empathic computing, blended reality, assets and datasets, and survey instruments.

Augmenting Human Memory - Capture and Recall in the Era of Lifelogging (Dagstuhl Seminar 14362)

Authors: Mark Billinghurst, Nigel Davies, Marc Langheinrich, and Albrecht Schmidt

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 8 (2015)

Abstract

Recent developments in capture technology and information retrieval allow for continuous and automated recordings of many aspects of our everyday lives. By combining this with basic research in memory psychology, today's memory augmentation technologies may soon be elevated from a clinical niche application to a mainstream technology, initiating a major change in the way we use technology to remember and to externalize memory. Future capture technologies and corresponding control mechanisms will allow us to automate the acquisition of personal memories and subsequently trigger feedback of such memories through ambient large displays and personal mobile devices in order to aid personal memory acquisition, retention, and attenuation. The emergence of this new breed of memory psychology-inspired capture and recall technology will represent a radical transformation in the way we understand and manage human memory acquisition and recall. This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 14362 "Augmenting Human Memory - Capture and Recall in the Era of Lifelogging", which brought together 28 researchers from multiple disciplines both within computer science -- mobile computing, privacy and security, social computing and ethnography, usability, and systems research -- as well as from related disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and economics, in order to discuss how these trends are changing our existing research on capture technologies, privacy and society, and existing theories of memory.
