Please feel free to circulate this announcement to interested = colleagues. ---------------------------------------------- *Human Computer Confluence summer school 2013* Human computer confluence (HCC) refers to an invisible, implicit, = embodied or even implanted interaction between humans and system = components. New classes of user interfaces may evolve that make use of = several sensors and are able to adapt their physical properties to the = current situational context of users. HCC originally emerged out of various European research initiatives = aiming at fundamental and strategic research studying how the emerging = symbiotic relation between humans and ICT (Information and Communication = Technologies) can be based on radically new forms of sensing, = perception, interaction and understanding. The HCC summer school invites participants to understand the various = technological aspects of our symbiosis with ICT, but also the impact of = this confluence on society. It aims to share scientific knowledge and = experience among participants, enhance and stimulate interdisciplinary = dialogue as well as provide further opportunities for co-operation = within the study domains of Human Computer Confluence. This second HCC summer school will try to benefit most from the research = interests and the special facilities of the IRCAM institute, the last as = a place dedicated to the coupling of art with the sciences of sound and = media.
