Engaging with emotions - the role of emotion in HCI

Emotions are of increasing interest to the HCI community and there is an enthusiastic spirit of adventure amongst researchers exploring this area. Much technical research has been done focussing on development of various proof-of-possibility studies and prototypical emotion components, but work done to date has been fragmented and lacks coherence. The goal of this workshop is to share information among researchers and practitioners working in this field through organized discussion and thematic working groups. This workshop will continue bringing people together, forming a community, supporting networking and collaboration to advocate coordinated work in this fascinating field of research.
