ETTF 2013 - International Workshop on Entertainment Technology in Transportation against Frustration, Aggression and Irrationality

This workshop addresses two strong fields within the Mobile HCI community: games & entertainment and transportation user interfaces. Using transportation technology (e.g., a car, plane, or traveling in public transportation) can be frustrating due to crowded streets, delays, and other travelers. Frustration may lead to aggression and negative experiences of other road members and passengers leading to irrational behaviors. Games & entertainment technology offer potential to resolve these negative user experiences. This workshop brings together entertainment and transportation user interface experts, who are willing to understand mobile entertainment technology as a potential solution to improve the experience of all travelers, drivers, and workers within the transportation field. The overall aim of the workshop is to create a common understanding of the challenges of entertainment in transportation, as well as further extend the research agenda for entertainment in this context from both from a scientific and an industrial perspective.
