Call for Participation: CHI 2016 workshop - Inviscid Text Entry and Beyond
Workshop website: http://www.textentry.org/chi2016/

Extended submission deadline: January 25, 2016
We invite position papers for the CHI 2016 Workshop on Inviscid Text Entry and Beyond.
This one-day workshop offers an interdisciplinary forum for both practitioners and academics interested in text entry in its many forms and varieties.
A particular interest this year is on exploratory work into inviscid text entry. In inviscid text entry, it is the user's creativity that is the text-creation bottleneck rather than the text entry interface. We welcome early work into novel methods for very rapidly entering text, even if such methods currently are quite error-prone. We are also interested in experimental tasks and evaluation methodologies for investigating inviscid text entry. Finally, we welcome topics going beyond entry speed, e.g. learning from a user's prior successes or failures, post-entry error-correction and formatting, entry of diverse types of text, and entry when a user's input or output capabilities are limited.
Participants will be selected on the basis of the quality of their position paper. At least one author must register and attend the workshop. All workshop participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the CHI 2016 conference. Participants will be invited to present a position statement on at least one panel. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a demo and/or poster to present during an interactive Show-and-Tell session. For further information, see our workshop website at http://www.textentry.org/chi2016/ or read our Extended Abstract.
