Digital and interactive technologies are becoming increasingly

embedded in everyday lives of people around the world.

Application of technologies such as real-time, context-aware, and

interactive technologies; augmented and immersive

realities;, social media; and location-based services has been

particularly evident in urban environments where

technological and sociocultural infrastructures enable easier

deployment and adoption as compared to non-urban areas.

There has been growing consumer demand for new forms of experiences

and services enabled through these emerging technologies.

We call this ambient media, as the media is embedded in the natural

human living environment. This workshop focuses on

ambient media services, applications, and technologies that promote

people?s engagement in creating and re-creating

liveliness in urban environments, particularly through arts, culture,

and gastronomic experiences.

The workshop takes a multidisciplinary and future oriented approach,

and welcomes participants from diverse disciplinary

domains for open discussions about technological, sociocultural, and

content-related aspects of ambient media services

that support people?s engagement in (re)creating their urban

environments into a livelier place through art, cultural,

and gastronomic experiences.

Within this context, we welcome submissions relating to (but not

limited to) the following:

?       case-studies (successful, and especially unsuccessful ones);

?       speculative and innovative concepts or design;

?       demonstrations of services and applications;

?       user-experience studies and evaluations;

?       artistic installations and contents;

?       social and/or economic studies, businesses models, and marketing

?       technological novelties, evaluations, and solutions;

The following topics fit within the scope of the workshop:
