Abstract: Today, the nature of human-computer interaction is changing what it means to experience computing. Every object or experience in life can be enhanced with computational support to provide enhanced experiences or communication opportunities. The very fabric of life is being rewritten with every new object created, an environment built or refurbished, and home or office upgraded.

In addition, the range of human senses involved in human-computer interaction has moved beyond simply the visual and audio. Human capabilities have yet to be fully employed when providing input to a computer. It is even more certainly the case that the plethora of human senses has not been exploited when computers are providing output for us. As a result, today when we think about display technology we need to step back and take a wider and more inclusive view of how computer systems present information for humans to perceive. The pixel is not always the point. Indeed the pixel can often get in the way of thinking about effective mechanisms to present information.

In this event, a series of speakers will reflect on their own experiences and research in the display of information for effective understanding. Some of the presenters are well known to the graphics community, however, others are sitting on adjoining fields more focused on human-computer interaction while other speakers come from outside either sphere of influence and to challenge our collective notion of what it means to effectively display information for human consumption.
