MLID 2013 - Workshop on Mobile Light Information Displays

Light is one modality of conveying information to users. With the advent of minituarized LEDs, new design possibilities arise for creating interaction with light. Light displays can provide information continuously and unobtrusively. They can designed to be be perceived at a glance, do not require focused visual attention and ideally are aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, they can be designed to be attention demanding and alerting. With this workshop, we want to address the challenges of conveying information with light displays in the mobile context. We invite work on mobile light displays and the human interaction with them as well as contributions focused on mobile interaction with (not necessarily mobile) light displays.
