Proceedings of the 5th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays

Abstract

On behalf of the entire organizing committee we proudly welcome you to the 5th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays in Oulu, Finland. The symposium already has a history of four previous events Saarbrücken, Germany in 2015; the University of Copenhagen, Denmark in 2014; Google, Mountain View, California, USA in 2013; and at the University of Minho in Porto, Portugal in 2012. This year's edition of the symposium aims to further expand the audience by addressing the industrial and commercial aspects of pervasive displays. As a targeted topic venue, Pervasive Displays offers participants a unique opportunity to network with a diverse but focused research community, resulting in an extremely lively event with all the energy and excitement that characterizes the emergence of a new research community. Pervasive Displays research has always attracted a broad cross-section of researchers from ubiquitous computing and HCI, and this year the conference is taking place in the home of the UBI-hotspots. Oulu is the site of a multi-year deployment of public interactive displays.
