Abstract


Our interactions with the world are multisensory in nature - the senses move us through spaces, mix with our memories and are constantly connected by our brains. Focused only on vision for a long time, the field of human computer interaction (HCI) started to meaningfully bring together all our senses in designing interactions for a variety of media. With this workshop, we look at different aspects of multisensory design - from authoring tools to the evaluation of multisensory experiences with the aim of identifying the current challenges and opportunities of mulsemedia.
Keywords: Multisensory experiences, Mulsemedia, Sensory effects, Immersive media
