A book detailing the devices and designs presented at the 2010 Devices that Alter Perception workshop is available from amazon.com
In the years 2008, 2009, 2010 workshops on the topic of Devices that Alter Perception were held in conduction with UbiComp, AP-CAP, and ISMAR. The websites for these workshops remain online as an archive.
Sensors, actuators, implants, wearable computers, and neural interfaces can do more than simply observe our bodies: these devices can also alter and manipulate our perceptions. This workshop will promote the design and critique of systems whose explicit purpose is to alter human percepts. Participants will be asked to present abstracts, images, videos and demonstrations that focus on devices that shape perceptual phenomena. The goals of the workshop are to: (1) document an emerging field of device design; (2) facilitate the development of these devices by sharing designs; (3) better understand the process of perception and how it informs the design of devices; and (4) debate the aesthetics, perceptual change, social and ethical issues as well as functional transformation the presented works envision for the future.
