This year the Symposium on Pervasive Displays will offer four tutorials. The tutorials will take place on June 20 at the Oulu School of Architecture. Attendance is free of charge.
Instructors: Prof. Hans Gellersen, Lancaster University, UK & Dr. Eduardo Velloso, University of Melbourne, Australia
In recent years, we have witnessed a revolution in eye tracking technologies. Eye trackers that used to cost tens of thousands of dollars, requiring awkward head-mounts and convoluted calibration procedures now cost less than a hundred dollars and are simple to set up and easy to use. As technology decreases in size and cost, we envision a world in which eye trackers will ship by default with interactive appliances, similarly to how any phone or laptop comes with an integrated webcam nowadays. This tutorial provides a crash course on how eye tracking works and introduces a wide range of interaction techniques that use the eyes only and that combine the eyes with novel input modalities, such as gestures, touch, game controllers, etc.
Hans Gellersen is Professor of Interactive Systems at Lancaster University. Hans' research interest is in sensors and devices for ubiquitous computing and human-computer interaction. He has worked on systems that blend physical and digital interaction, methods that infer context and human activity, and techniques for spontaneous interaction across devices. In recent work he is focussing on eye movement, and leading research that breaks new ground in how we can use our eyes for interaction pervasively. Hans’ work is published in over 200 articles, and has been recognised with Best Paper Awards in CHI, Pervasive, and TEI amongst others. He is one of the founders of the UbiComp conference series, and an Associate Editor of ACM Transactions Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) and the Journal on Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (PUC). He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.
Eduardo Velloso is a Research Fellow at the Microsoft Research Centre for Social Natural User Interfaces at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Eduardo holds a PhD in Computer Science from Lancaster University and a BSc in Computer Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. His research aims at creating future social user experiences combining novel input modalities such as gaze, body movement, touch gestures, etc. His latest work has investigated eye-based interaction with smart watches, multimodal combinations of gaze, and eye control of video games. He has designed and conducted multiple courses and workshops, including the EyePlay workshop at CHI Play 2014, the .NET Gadgeteer Workshop at the iCareNet Summer School 2012, at PUC-Rio, and at the Rio de Janeiro State University.
Instructors: Prof. Nigel Davies & Dr. Sarah Clinch, Lancaster University, UK
Fueled by falling display hardware costs and rising demand, digital signage and pervasive displays are becoming ever more ubiquitous. Such displays are now a common feature of many public spaces and serve a range of purposes including signage, entertainment, advertising and information provision. Beyond traditional broadcast media, recent developments in sensing and interaction technologies are enabling entirely new classes of display applications that tailor content to the situation and audience of the display. The time is right for researchers to consider how to create the world’s future pervasive display networks.
This tutorial explores the challenges of designing, developing and deploying pervasive display systems in the wild, introducing both technical issues (systems software, scheduling behaviours, evaluation techniques) and the human/social/ethical issues that arise from the embedding of pervasive displays in real world environments (audience behaviours, stakeholder concerns).
Nigel Davies is a Professor in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University and co-director of Lancaster’s new multidisciplinary Data Science Institute. His research focuses on experimental mobile and ubiquitous systems and his projects include the MOST, GUIDE, e-Campus and PD-NET projects that have been widely reported on in the academic literature and the popular press. Professor Davies has held visiting positions at SICS, Sony's Distributed Systems Lab in San Jose, the Bonn Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, CMU and most recently Google Research in Mountain View, CA. Nigel is active in the research community and has co-chaired both Ubicomp and MobiSys conferences. He is a former editor-in-chief of IEEE Pervasive Magazine, chair of the steering committee for HotMobile and one of the founders of the ACM PerDis Symposium on Pervasive Displays.
Dr. Sarah Clinch is a post-doctoral researcher at Lancaster University, UK. She completed her PhD (Lancaster) on the appropriation of public displays and has published extensively on the topic of next generation pervasive display networks. She has been a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University working on novel cloudlet systems. Sarah’s research focuses on the development of architectures for pervasive computing and personalisation in ubiquitous computing systems. She currently works on the European FET-Open RECALL project that aims to re-think and re-define the notion of memory augmentation to develop new paradigms for memory augmentation technologies that are technically feasible, desired by users, and beneficial to society. Sarah is an active member of the research community and is currently serving as publicity co-chair for both IEEE Percom and ACM HotMobile.
Instructors: Prof. Giulio Jacucci University of Helsinki, Finland & Petri Savolainen, HIIT, Finland
Large displays in combination with personal devices can offer a variety of opportunities for collaboration for example in stand presentation at exhibitions, as public game platforms, or for meetings, and collective exploration of information. Designing applications for such situations requires considering collaboration practice and sought outcome, walk-up-and-use readiness, interaction design considering available interaction techniques. The topics covered in this tutorial include collaborative activities and opportunities around large displays, walk-up-and-use connection of multiple devices to the web and interaction techniques across screens and devices.
Giulio Jacucci is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki and director of the Network Society Programme at the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT).

Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful technology that promises to change our lives unlike any other. By artificially stimulating our senses, our bodies become tricked into accepting another version of reality. VR is like a waking dream that could take place in a magical cartoon-like world, or could transport us to another part of the Earth or universe. It is the next step along a path that includes many familiar media, from paintings to movies to video games. We can even socialize with people inside of new worlds, either of which could be real or artificial. One of the greatest challenges is that we as developers become part of the system we are developing, making extremely challenging to objectively evaluate VR systems. Human perception and engineering become intertwined in a complicated and fascinating way. This tutorial provides an overview of the fundamentals of virtual reality systems and discusses developer recommendations and technological issues.
Steve LaValle started working with Oculus VR in September 2012, a few days after their successful Kickstarter campaign, and was the head scientist up until the Facebook acquisition in March 2014.
