title = "Animal computer interaction (ACI) & designing for animal interaction (AXD)",
abstract = "This workshop invites researchers and practitioners from HCI and related fields who work in some capacity with animals and who recognise the sentient nature of their being. We call for those who want to better understand how to work with animals and learn from them. We are a small team looking to build an Australian chapter of the Animal Computer Interaction Community. The workshop will elicit discussion, forge new partnerships and head up a new group on the state of the art within this field in Australia, including comparative international studies.

note = "Ann Morrison ann.morrison@usq.edu.au has recently arrived back to Australia and is a Senior Research Fellow at Digital Life Lab, USQ working on mobility and social inclusion with elders and animals. Ann remains affiliated as an Associate Professor for Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at Aalborg University, Denmark where Ann led the Urban Vibrations Lab and designed a range of tangible solutions to enhance states of well-being, mobility, safety and social interaction for everyday circumstance, assistive care and urban environments. Jane Turner j.turner@qut.edu.au is a lecturer and researcher in Interaction and Visual Design in the School of Design at the Queensland University of Technology. Her research is concerned with design, stories and criticality. Her research into game design and stories has recently been enhanced by rediscovering the joy of sharing life with a companion animal. Helen Farley helen.farley@usq.edu.au is an Associate Professor in the Digital Life Lab leading projects around digital inclusion in higher education, mobile learning and immersive virtual environments. She was a research fellow at the Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology at the University of Queensland and is a Senior Research Fellow within the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry also at the University of Queensland. She holds a degree in veterinary science and brings animals into her research whenever she can. Sarah Webber s.webber@unimelb.edu.au is a doctoral candidate at the University of Melbourne{\textquoteright}s Interaction Design Lab. Her research investigates the role of digital technologies in zoos. In particular, she examines how animals{\textquoteright} use of interactive technology impacts on people{\textquoteright}s perceptions of, and affective responses to the animals. She has a background in interaction design and user research, and has contributed to projects examining technologies to support family memories, wellbeing, and social interactions. Jessica L. Oliver jessie.l.oliver@gmail.comThroughout her career, Jessie has been passionate about avian ecology and science communication. In recent years, this led her to work with the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Point Blue Conservation Science, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and University of Queensland's Environmental Decisions Group on avian focused projects. Jessie is now investigating how to engage citizen scientists with acoustics to find threatened bird species as a PhD student with the Queensland University of Technology. Jessie is a management committee member for the Australian Citizen Science Association and on her local committee for BirdLife Australia. ; 29th Australian Conference on Computer-Human Interaction ; Conference date: 28-11-2017 Through 01-12-2017",
