The International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) successfully organized the 10th international symposium on Analysis, Design, and Evaluation of Human-Machine Systems in 서울 (Seoul, South Korea) between the 4 and 6 September 2007. My talk "Fundamental Needs in Wearable Computing: Constraints on Features & Universal Access" occurred during the first session on interface design.
My 15-minutes talk went well and I was just asked one question at the end: "Are you developing a system based on this work?". The answer was yes: we are developing a system for bonding and support within the family. This system should deepen our understanding of human needs in ubiquitous computing, and hopefully validate more strongly the work done so far. Read the post "Publication #15" for details about the publication.
The conference was well-managed every day: the talks were properly selected, most speakers were present, excellent lunches and dinners were included, and a Korean-style show with music and songs gave a charming touch to the banquet.
I met a few interesting people including a South Korean psychologist working for 웅진코웨이 (WoongJin Coway), who was interested in the implications of my research for the design of robots for the general public. We may discuss this more deeply during my next visit.
