The goal of the workshop is to investigate effective ways to leverage the recent advances in the automatic recognition of mid-air gestures and speech commands, with a special focus on (but not limited to) interaction with mobile technology and inclusive design for older adults and people with special needs. In particular, the workshop aims to investigate these issues from a multidisciplinary prospective by bringing together experts on interaction design, user experience, usability, accessibility, innovative hardware and software solutions related to technology based on mid-air gestures, speech and multi-modal interaction.

The workshop invites academic researchers and industry practitioners to submit position papers up to four (4) pages demonstrating research, design, innovative solutions, concepts and hardware and/or software solutions in areas related to mid-air gestures, speech-based and multi-modal interaction with an emphasis on (but not limited to) mobile applications and inclusive design for older adults and people with special needs.
